Abstract

A sound reproduction device ( 10 ) includes an acquisition unit ( 15 a ) that acquires display information displayed as a user interface (UI) component, a specifying unit ( 15 b ) that specifies target information related to a target to be reproduced as sound on the basis of identification information indicated by the display information, and a reproduction unit ( 15 d ) that reproduces the target information as sound.

Claims (46)

1 . A sound reproduction device comprising a processor configured to execute operations comprising:

acquiring display information displayed as a user interface (UI) component;

specifying target information, wherein the target information specifies a target to be reproduced as sound on the basis of identification information indicated by the display information; and

reproducing the target information as sound.

2 . The sound reproduction device according to claim 1 , wherein

the acquiring further comprising acquiring the display information including the target information in encrypted form,

the acquiring further comprises decrypting the target information in encrypted form, and

the reproducing further comprises reproducing the decrypted target information as sound.

3 . The sound reproduction device according to claim 1 , wherein the specifying further comprises specifying a storage area for storing the target information on the basis of the identification information indicated by the display information, and

the reproducing further comprises reproducing the target information stored in the specified storage area as sound.

4 . The sound reproduction device according to claim 1 , the processor further configured to execute operations comprising:

reflecting a reply by sound to the target information on the UI component.

5 . A computer-implemented method for reproducing sound, comprising:

an acquisition step of acquiring display information displayed as a UI component;

a specifying step of specifying target information, wherein the target information specifies a target to be reproduced as sound on the basis of identification information indicated by the display information; and

a reproduction step of reproducing the target information as sound.

6 . A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing a computer-executable program instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computer to execute operations comprising:

acquiring display information displayed as a UI component;

specifying target information, wherein the target information specifies a target to be reproduced as sound on the basis of identification information indicated by the display information; and

reproducing the target information as sound.

7 . The sound reproduction device according to claim 1 , the processor further configured to execute operations comprising:

retrieving, based on the identification information, the target information from a confidential information database, wherein the confidential information database stores confidential information as represented by the target information, and the target information comprises sound.

8 . The sound reproduction device according to claim 1 , wherein the display information comprises a marker identifier of the target to prevent from displaying the target in unencrypted form, and the target represents secret information.

9 . The sound reproduction device according to claim 1 , wherein the display information comprises codified information identifying the target.

10 . The computer-implemented method according to claim 5 , wherein

the acquiring further comprising acquiring the display information including the target information in encrypted form,

the acquiring further comprises decrypting the target information in encrypted form, and

the reproducing further comprises reproducing the decrypted target information as sound.

11 . The computer-implemented method according to claim 5 ,

wherein the specifying further comprises specifying a storage area for storing the target information on the basis of the identification information indicated by the display information, and

the reproducing further comprises reproducing the target information stored in the specified storage area as sound.

12 . The computer-implemented method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

reflecting a reply by sound to the target information on the UI component.

13 . The computer-implemented method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

retrieving, based on the identification information, the target information from a confidential information database, wherein the confidential information database stores confidential information as represented by the target information, and the target information comprises sound.

14 . The computer-implemented method according to claim 5 , wherein the display information comprises a marker identifier of the target to prevent from displaying the target in unencrypted form, and the target represents secret information.

15 . The computer-implemented method according to claim 5 , wherein the display information comprises codified information identifying the target.

16 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 6 , wherein

the acquiring further comprising acquiring the display information including the target information in encrypted form,

the acquiring further comprises decrypting the target information in encrypted form, and

the reproducing further comprises reproducing the decrypted target information as sound.

17 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 6 ,

wherein the specifying further comprises specifying a storage area for storing the target information on the basis of the identification information indicated by the display information, and

the reproducing further comprises reproducing the target information stored in the specified storage area as sound.

18 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 6 , the computer-executable program instructions when executed further causing the computer to execute operations comprising:

reflecting a reply by sound to the target information on the UI component.
