Abstract

A control device for a recording system includes a sound acquisition unit, a recording control unit, an item management unit and a presentation control unit. The sound acquisition unit acquires sound data from a sound pickup device. The recording control unit records information based on the sound data as recording information corresponding to one of predetermined items. The item management unit extracts one of the items, in which the recording information has not yet been recorded, as an uninput item. The presentation control unit causes a presentation device to show the uninput item.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A control device for a recording system comprising:
a sound acquisition control circuit that acquires sound data from a sound pickup device;
a recording control circuit that includes a memory that records information based on the sound data as recording information corresponding to one of predetermined targets;
an item management control circuit that identifies a particular target from the one of the predetermined targets, in which the recording information has not yet been recorded; and
a presentation control circuit that controls a display, wherein
when in an inspection mode, the control device:
displays, on the display, an image of the particular target,
acquires, using the sound pickup device, sound data of the particular target,
creates text information based on the sound data acquired by the sound pickup device,
stores the sound data of the particular target and the text information in the memory;

when in a search mode, the control device:
retrieves information for a search target from the memory, and
displays, on the display, the information for the search target retrieved from the memory.

2. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the memory includes a term database including candidates for the text information,
wherein the control device creates the text information using the term database.

3. The control device according to claim 2 , wherein when in the inspection mode, the control device further:
searches the term database for the text information to locate a plurality of candidate words, and
displays, on the display, the plurality of candidate words; and
wherein the text information stored in the memory is a particular candidate selected from the plurality of candidate words.

4. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein when in the inspection mode, the control device further:
determines whether the sound data acquired by the sound pickup is from the target, and
creates the text information on a condition the sound data acquired by the sound pickup is not from the target.

5. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein when in the inspection mode, the control device further:
extracts a significant sound portion that is a significant sound included in the sound data of the target, and
stores, in the memory, information about the significant sound portion and the text information in association with each other.

6. The control device according to claim 5 , wherein the control device stores the information about the significant sound portion and the text information in one file.

7. A control device for a recording system comprising:
an imager that acquires image data;
a sound acquisition control circuit that acquires sound data from a sound pickup device;
a recording control circuit that includes a memory that records information based on the sound data as recording information corresponding to one of predetermined targets;
an item management control circuit that identifies a particular target from the one of the predetermined targets, in which the recording information has not yet been recorded; and
a presentation control circuit that controls a display, wherein
when in an inspection mode, the control device:
displays, on the display, an image of the particular target,
acquires, using the sound pickup device, sound data of the particular target,
stores the sound data of the particular target in the memory;
extracts a language portion that is included in the sound data and significant as a language and a significant sound portion that is a portion other than the language portion and significant as a sound; and
stores, in the memory, information about the language portion, information about the significant sound portion, and the image data in association with one another;

when in a search mode, the control device:
retrieves information for a search target from the memory, and
displays, on the display, the information for the search target retrieved from the memory.

8. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein, when in the inspection mode, the control device further:
extracts a language portion that is included in the sound data and significant as a language and a significant sound portion that is a portion other than the language portion and significant as a sound, and
stores, in the memory, information about the language portion and information about the significant sound portion in one file in association with each other.

9. A recording system comprising:
the control device according to claim 1 ;
the sound pickup device; and
the display.

10. A recording device comprising:
a communication interface that is communicatively coupled to a display and a sound pickup device that acquires sound data;
a memory that stores information based on the sound data as recording information corresponding to one of predetermined items;
a processor that is communicatively coupled to the communication interface and the memory,
wherein, when in an inspection mode, the processor is configured to:
display, on the display, an image of a target,
acquire, using the sound pickup device, sound data of the target,
create text information based on the sound data acquired by the sound pickup device,
store the sound data of the target and the text information in the memory; wherein when in a search mode, the processor is configured to:
retrieve information for a search target from the memory, and
display, on the display, the information for the search target retrieved from the memory.
