Abstract

See full text

Insertion of an attachment file identifying character code in a text of an electronic mail enables an electronic mail device to automatically reproduce (display) data from the attachment file during vocal reproduction of the text. When a text of a received electronic mail was selected and a vocal reproduction start key of the device was pressed, the device stores vocally readable text data to be sent to a voice synthesis control portion and attached reproducible music data in a buffer portion of a random access memory. The device then transmits a voice synthesis and reproduction command to a voice synthesis control portion to vocally reproduce the text. When the device detected an attachment file identifying character code in the text being displayed and vocally reproduced, it converts the text sentence into voice synthesis/reproduction command data and sends the command data to the control portion to vocally reproduce the text. On completion of reproduction of the textual portion of the electronic mail, the device automatically reproduces music data of the attached music file and image data of the attached image file referring to the corresponding files by detected reference codes.
