ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND AUDIO GUIDE PROGRAM
First Claim
1. An electronic apparatus having a plurality of functions executable for operating the electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a function selection unit that selects a function to be executed;
a storage unit that stores information defining correspondence between a plurality of functions and a plurality of audio data;
an audio data specifying unit that specifies audio data corresponding to the function selected by the function selection unit with reference to the information;
a search target determination unit that determines whether or not a source of the audio data exists as a search target;
a search unit that searches the source for the audio data specified by the audio data specifying unit when the search target determination unit determines that the source exists; and
a playback unit that plays back the audio data searched by the search unit.

Abstract
In an electronic apparatus, a function selection unit selects a function to be executed. A storage unit stores a table defining correspondence between a plurality of functions and a plurality of audio data. An audio data specifying unit specifies audio data corresponding to the function selected by the function selection unit with reference to the table. A search target determination unit determines whether or not a source of the audio data exists as a search target. A search unit searches the source for the audio data specified by the audio data specifying unit when the search target determination unit determines that the source exists. A playback unit plays back the audio data located by the search unit.
