聲音工具之探討

Abstract

一般的電腦的在人機介面上，都只使用文字、圖畫、及影像等視覺上的表示方法來傳達資訊。這種方式很容易造成使用者的負擔。其實，除了視覺效果外，人類還可由聽覺上接收訊息。因此，採用適當的聲音工具來幫助軟體設計者發展多媒體應用軟體是一個值得研究的方向。本論文首先分類介紹現有的聲音工具，然後提出一個聲音工具的架構，最後介紹一個根據所提架構發展的聲音資料庫雛形。

Knowledge representation by only using visual text, graphs, and iages may cause an overload on the users. Other than the visual effects, humancan receive information through the audio signals. Therefore, proper adoper adoptuon of sound tools to id software designers in developing multimedia applications is one alternative that worth investigaion, This paper survey and classifies the avarlable sound tools Additionally, an architecture for the auditory icon and earcon toolkit are proposed, Issues and expected improvements of these sound tools which can provide better human -computer interfaces are discussed Finally a ptoyitype of sound database based on this architecture is discussed.
