Description

Method and system for providing email containing voice signals {Method and System for supplying e-mail with voice signals}

The present invention relates to a method and a system for providing an e-mail including a voice signal, and more particularly, to synthesize a character input by a user into an e-mail transmitted using a character or a video such as a conventional text. The present invention relates to a method and a system for providing an email that is delivered after the delivery.

The music letter implemented in the conventional communication is implemented only on the mobile communication as providing a music letter by speaking in its own voice after selecting the music. Such a service can be easily realized in mobile communication because a microphone is required for voice input and a device for modulating into a voice signal, but there is a difficulty in communication using a computer. In addition, there is a need to provide more differentiated services to netizens seeking change and new things.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to deliver after the user modulates and synthesizes the characters input by the user to the e-mail transmitted by using a character or video such as conventional text is delivered The present invention provides a method and system for providing email.

Hereinafter, a method and a system for providing an email including a voice signal according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, referring to FIG. 1, which shows a connection state of a conventional internet communication network, a plurality of client PCs 10, 20, 30,... Are connected to a plurality of web servers 40, 60 through an internet communication network. Client PCs are equipped with a web browser (Internet Explorer, Navigator) and communication means for using the Internet therein, which can display multimedia contents while exchanging data such as text, video, and images. The Internet is connected by various communication connection means such as telephone line, wireless communication, dedicated line, ADSL, and cable.

Web server 40 used in the present invention, referring to Figure 2, the web server control unit 42 receives the music selection data and text data input from the client PC, and is input from the web server control unit 42 A mail server 44 for delivering an e-mail to an e-mail address, a voice converter 46 for modulating a corresponding voice signal using text data output from the web server controller 42, and a user And a music storage unit 48 for storing music for selection, and a data storage unit 50 for storing data from the voice converter 46 and the music storage unit 48.

The web server controller 42 has a program for controlling the web server 40 is embedded. The web server controller 42 performs a necessary operation according to the data input from the client PC. For example, when a data request or web page transfer request is input from a client PC, necessary data is transmitted. In the present invention, data (music selection, text input, e-mail address, mobile communication terminal number) input from the client PC is processed. The web server control unit 42 transmits the electronic mail address to the mobile communication terminal when the electronic mail address is input and the mobile communication terminal number is input.

The voice converter 46 performs voice modulation using the text data output from the web server controller 42. Voice modulation may use a conventionally used Text-to-Speech (TTS) device. The TTS is a voice synthesis system for converting text information into voice information. In other words, it is a device that receives text characters as computer input and analyzes them to generate a rhyme, and includes synthesized voice DB inside to generate synthesized signals as naturally as human voice. The voice conversion unit 46 may be configured to output a voice by selecting a voice of a man, a woman, a child, or an old person as a DB. The voice signal converted by the voice converter 46 is stored in the data storage 50.

The data storage unit 50 stores a voice synthesis signal, and is a storage medium capable of repeating recording several times, such as an HDD or a magneto-optical disk. The data storage unit 50 stores data about music selected by the user together with the voice synthesis signal. Music corresponding to the music data is stored in the music storage unit 48 which is a separate storage device. Simultaneously storing the selected music in the data storage unit 50 according to the data input from the client PC causes an increase in the storage means. The data is read from the unit 48 and synthesized.

The method of the present invention performed in the system having the above configuration comprises the steps of: transmitting music letter menu output data from the web server to the client PC and displaying it on the screen when the client PC accesses the web server; A second step of the user inputting and transmitting music selection data and text data on the screen displayed in the first step; a third step of receiving the music selection data and text data transmitted in the second step from a web server; And a fifth step of performing voice modulation using the received text data and synthesizing the modulated voice signal with music selected by the user. This will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3.

When accessing the web server via the client PC, the web server control unit 42 transmits data for outputting the music letter menu screen to the client PC. When the data transfer is completed, the client PC outputs the menu screen using a web browser. The user selects music to be included in the music letter while the menu screen is displayed, and inputs text (text) of content to be received by the receiver. Music selection can largely provide music of various genres such as classical, pop, song, nursery rhyme and the like.

The user completes the music selection and the creation of the text data on the client PC and transmits it to the web server controller 42. The transferred music selection and text data are transferred to the web server controller 42, and then necessary processing is performed.

The web server controller 42 temporarily stores data on the selected music. At the same time, the contents of the text data are transmitted to the voice converter 46. The voice converter 46 detects the transmitted text content and modulates the voice corresponding thereto. At this time, if the user selects a male voice, the user selects modulation data according to the modulation operation. When the modulation from the text data to the voice signal is completed, the modulated voice signal is stored in the data storage unit 50.

After the storage is completed as described above, the web server controller 42 synthesizes the modulated voice synthesis signal and the selected music. This is the form of e-mail in which the selected music is set as the background music and the modulated voice signal is read. The electronic mail data may be a file such as a digital audio system conventionally used, for example, mp3, wave, ra.

When the electronic mail file of the digital format is created as described above, the web server controller 42 transmits the electronic mail by referring to the receiver data input by the user. If the recipient data is an e-mail address, the data is transmitted to the e-mail. Or, if both are recorded, they can be output at the same time.

As described above, according to the present invention, an electronic mail that is delivered after a user modulates and synthesizes a text input by a user into an electronic mail transmitted by using a character or a video such as a conventional text.

Although the invention has been described in detail only with respect to the described embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and variations can be made within the spirit and scope of the invention, and such variations or modifications will belong to the appended claims. .
