Vehicle-mounted device
View Patent ↗Reproduction is performed so that the user can grasp the details of content information on long sentence reading the reproduction of which has been suspended. If an vehicle-mounted device ( 10 ) receives content information with higher priority of the reproduction than that of the content information on the long sentence reading during the reproduction of the content information on the long sentence reading received from a center apparatus by a reproduction section (step S 4 ; Y), the vehicle-mounted device ( 10 ) allows the control of a control unit to suspend the reproduction of the content information on the long sentence reading (step S 7 ) and to start the reproduction of the content information with higher priority (step S 8 ). If the reproduction ends, the vehicle-mounted device ( 10 ) allows the reproduction means to resume the suspended reproduction of the content information on the long sentence reading (step S 12 ).
1. A vehicle-mounted device, comprising:
a communication unit adapted to perform wireless communication with a center apparatus via a roadside apparatus;
a reproduction unit adapted to perform audio reproduction based on content information received from the center apparatus by the communication unit; and
a control unit adapted to control a method of the reproduction to suspend reproduction of content information for reading, when the vehicle-mounted device receives content information with higher priority of reproduction than the content information for reading during the reproduction of the content information for reading received from the center apparatus via the communication unit by the reproduction unit, starts reproduction of the content information with higher priority, and resumes the suspended reproduction of the content information for reading by the reproduction unit when the reproduction ends,
wherein the control unit reproduces the content information for reading by resuming the reproduction from the beginning to the end without suspension, and reproduces the suspended content information for reading by repeating the reproduction a set number of times.
2. A vehicle-mounted device, comprising:
a communication unit adapted to perform wireless communication with a center apparatus via a roadside apparatus;
a reproduction unit adapted to perform audio reproduction based on content information received from the center apparatus by the communication unit; and
a control unit adapted to control a method of the reproduction to suspend reproduction of content information for reading, when the vehicle-mounted device receives content information with higher priority of reproduction than the content information for reading during the reproduction of the content information for reading received from the center apparatus via the communication unit by the reproduction unit, starts reproduction of the content information with higher priority, and resumes the suspended reproduction of the content information for reading by the reproduction unit when the reproduction ends,
wherein the control unit judges a reproduction position at which the reproduction is suspended in the content information for reading, resumes the reproduction of the content information for reading from the reproduction position, and
the control unit judges a reproduction position for resuming the reproduction, as to whether to reproduce the content information for reading from the beginning, or to reproduce from the suspended reproduction position, based on the reproduction position at which the reproduction is suspended in the content information for reading, and resumes the reproduction from the judged reproduction position.
3. The vehicle-mounted device according to claim 2 , wherein the content information for reading is information for voice synthesis, and the control unit determines a position of a period or a comma of a reading sentence whose reproduction is suspended based on the information for voice synthesis, and resumes the reproduction from the position of the period or the comma.
