ABSTRACT:
In an electronic community system, host and user terminals are connected so that a virtual space shared by the user terminals is formed based on information transmitted from the host to the user terminals, a state and events in the virtual space being controlled in accordance with commands input to the respective user terminals. The electronic community system includes a first unit, at least provided in one of the host and the respective user terminals, for analyzing commands input to the respective user terminals and generating information representing at least one of states and events in the virtual space. The system further includes a second unit is provided in either the host or the respective user terminals, for converting the information generated by the first unit into speech information, and a speech output unit, provided in the respective user terminals, for outputting a speech explaining the states and/or events in the virtual space based on the speech information obtained by the second unit. Speech recognition is used in the electronic community system so as to allow users who are visually impaired to use the system.
