In addition, the management server 105 preferably has a charging processing function according to the sound modulation program provided.

Here, the voice modulation program can be executed through the user interface (UI), for example, Nate Wizard. That is, the calling terminal 111 executes the voice modulation program provided by the Esp server 107 after accessing the management server 105 through the wireless Internet. On the other hand, the calling terminal 111 may download the voice modulation program provided by the SSP server 107 through the wireless Internet 101.

On the other hand, the voice information for the specific person is preferably the voice information of the entertainer, where the voice information includes voice patterns, such as voice frequency, type of voice (voice, voice), sound speed, pitch, etc. . The voice modulation program is composed of a voice modulation algorithm for modulating a voice for an entertainer into a user voice and a communication operation algorithm for setting a call path with an arbitrary called terminal 113 in a voice modulated state.

In addition, the calling terminal 111 may set a key for selecting arbitrary celebrity voice information, and the key setting may use a key button of the calling terminal 111. The key button may select at least one entertainer voice information or change the call state. Therefore, the calling terminal 111 includes a data setting for matching the celebrity voice information and the key button, and it is essential to secure a memory having a predetermined capacity for mounting the voice modulation program.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the voice information will be described only for the entertainer, but not only the voice information of the entertainer, but also the voice of a monster that may cause fear, the voice of a specific animal, and the like.

2 is a diagram illustrating a program configuration for explaining a voice modulation function according to the present invention. As shown, a program for executing a voice modulation function includes a voice modulation function and a communication operation function, and the voice modulation algorithm for performing the voice modulation function includes a sampling module 203 for sampling a user voice at a predetermined frequency. ), A data extraction module 205 for patching previously stored voice information of a specific person from a corresponding memory, and a modulation module 207 for modulating the pre-sampled user voice based on the voice information of the specific person.

In addition, the communication operation algorithm for performing the communication operation function is to activate the voice modulation algorithm according to the user's instructions, the guide screen output module 209 for guiding the call connection with the called terminal 113, the guide screen According to the call connection guide of the output module 209, the key input module 211 for receiving the number information of the called terminal 113, requests to set the call corresponding to the number information of the called terminal, and the modulation module And a call connection module 213 for providing the modulated voice of 207 to the corresponding call path.

On the other hand, the voice modulation program according to the above-described voice modulation function is to be activated on the wireless Internet 101, the voice modulation program is mounted as the calling terminal 111 can be activated on the calling terminal 111. Accordingly, the calling terminal 111 may store and execute the voice modulation program in an internal or external memory of the terminal. Here, the structure of the voice modulation program 201 shown in FIG. 2 may be assumed to be a memory structure of the calling terminal 111.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a flowchart for explaining the main operation of the present invention. 4 is a diagram illustrating a display window of a calling terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown first, in step S301 the calling terminal 111 is connected to the management server 105 via the wireless Internet (101). The management server 105 performs authentication on the originating terminal 111, and allows access to the SSP server 107 according to the authentication result. Here, the calling terminal 111 may execute a voice modulation program using a Nate Browser or a Nate Wizard provided by the SSP server 107.

That is, entering the step S303, the calling terminal 111 selects a voice modulation program of a plurality of programs provided by the Esp server 107. 4A illustrates that the calling terminal 111 selects a voice modulation program among a plurality of programs provided by the Esp server 107 by accessing the wireless Internet 101. In step S305, the calling terminal 111 selects a person to be subjected to voice modulation. The person selection selects a specific person, for example, an entertainer, recognized by an unspecified majority. The selection range may select at least one celebrity voice and may be assigned a respective selection number. The screening number may be a digitized number that can be easily selected on the key button of the calling terminal 111.

Thereafter, the calling terminal 111 terminates the service application, and the SSP server 107 provides a voice modulation program in response thereto. That is, the SSP server 107 extracts voice information of the entertainer selected by the user from the database 109 including a voice modulation algorithm and a communication operation algorithm. When the voice information of the entertainer is plural, the Esp server 107 assigns a key button number for each voice information based on the selection number selected from the calling terminal 111. For example, when the celebrity voice information selected from the calling terminal 111 is selected as 'Kim Sam Soon', 'Hari Su', 'No Moo Hyun', etc., the Esp server 107 sets the order for the celebrity voice information as '1', '2'. '3', but match the key button of the terminal.

As such, when the initial setting of the calling terminal 111 is completed, the SSP server 107 provides initial setting information to the management server 105. In step S307 the management server 105 calculates the billing based on the initial setting information for the service use. The billing operation may be proportionally calculated according to the number of celebrity voice information. However, of course, the calculation method can be sufficiently variable. The management server 105 after completing the predetermined procedure for charging, and downloads the program, that is, voice modulation program to the calling terminal (111). An embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 4 (b).

In step S309, the calling terminal 111 activates the voice modulation program using a predetermined specific key button. The voice modulation program first operates a communication operation algorithm. Accordingly, the key input module 211 recognizes a specific key operation of the key button of the calling terminal 111 (S11). The key input module 211 operates the voice conversion algorithm in response to the operation of a specific key button. In accordance with the voice conversion algorithm operation, the data extraction module 205 is activated (S13). The data extraction module 205 extracts celebrity voice information previously selected and stored by the calling terminal 111. Here, it is assumed that the entertainer voice information is stored in the data memory unit 215 of the calling terminal 111.

The voice conversion algorithm also activates the sampling module 203. Sampling module 203 is based on sufficient sampling frequency. In addition, the sampling module 203 samples the user voice flowing into the microphone (not shown) of the transmitting terminal 111 according to the sampling frequency (S15). At the same time, the speech conversion algorithm activates the modulation module 207. The modulation module 207 intermodulates the user voice signal currently sampled and the voice frequency signal of the entertainer voice information extracted by the data extraction module 205 (S17).

Here, the voice information is composed of voice frequency, type of voice (unvoiced sound, voiced sound), sound speed, pitch, etc., and the modulation module 207 modulates the voice frequency for the corresponding entertainer. In the present invention, the voice frequency modulation is described, but if necessary, the user's voice may be modified to match the user's voice with sound speed, pitch, and the like.

On the other hand, since the speech conversion algorithm sets the sampling period for the user's voice to several mSec, and the modulation frequency is also within several mSec, the modulation time for the user's voice can be made within several tens of mSec. Therefore, after the user's voice signal is modulated, the time until the output is modulated within several tens of mSec, and in the present invention does not perform a separate buffering is defined as a real-time operation.

In step S311, the communication operation algorithm induces the input of the number information for the called terminal 113 by using the guide screen output module 209. The screen of the terminal provided by the guide screen output module 209 is as shown in FIG. The screen of the terminal indicates that the voice modulation program is currently running, and provides a number input box for requesting a number input for the called terminal.

 According to the guide screen, the user inputs the number of the called terminal 113 by using the key button of the calling terminal 111. That is, the key input module 211 recognizes a key button (SEND key) for call connection together with the number information of the called terminal 113. The key input module 211 requests the call connection module 213 to set a call. In step S313, the call connection module 213 activates the communication unit 217 of the calling terminal 111. The call connection module 213 instructs to establish a call with the called terminal 113. The communication unit 217 attempts to connect to the mobile communication network 103, and connects a call path with the called terminal 113 therefrom.

In addition, the communication unit 217 provides the call connection module 213 with a result of performing the call connection. In step S315, the call connection module 213 connects the modulated voice signal output from the modulation module 207 to the communication unit 217. Accordingly, the communication unit 217 provides the modulated user voice to the called terminal 113 via the mobile communication network 103. The called terminal 113 listens to the voice-modulated user's voice.

In this case, the user may change the modulated user voice. That is, as described above, the user has selected and stored a plurality of celebrity voices, and the user can change the voices of previously stored celebrities during the modulated voice call. That is, in step S319 the user inputs a predetermined key button for changing the voice modulation. The key input module 211 recognizes the key button and notifies the guide screen output module 209.

The guide screen output module 209 lists the name of the entertainer to change to the display screen of the calling terminal 111. This is content input by the user at the time of initial setting, and the guide screen output module 209 extracts the corresponding entertainer name from the corresponding data memory unit 215. As shown in (d) of FIG. Of course, since the voice information corresponding to the celebrity name is also stored, the voice modulation is performed based on the voice information when the user selects the celebrity name.

For example, the user may change the name of the entertainer to 'Harisoo' using the key button of the terminal during the voice modulation call with 'Kim Sam-soon'. At this time, the data extraction module 205 receives the key button signal applied through the key input module 211 even though the call is in the current state. The key input module 211 extracts corresponding celebrity voice information previously stored in the data memory unit 215 in response to the key button signal. The user voice is modulated into the corresponding celebrity voice through the modulation module 207.

Meanwhile, a signal line indicated by a dotted line is shown in FIG. 2, which indicates that the voice modulation according to the present invention shows not only the outgoing voice modulation but also the modulation for the received voice. That is, the calling terminal 111 performs voice modulation on the voice transmitted from the called terminal 113, and the communication unit 217 receives the voice signal of the called terminal 113 and provides it to the call connection module 213. do. The call connection module 213 provides a voice signal received by the sampling module 203 to perform sampling of a predetermined frequency. The sampling module 203 transmits a sampling signal to the modulation module 207. The data extraction module 205 extracts, from the data memory unit 215, voice information corresponding to the voice of the specific person selected from the key input module 211.

In this case, the modulation module 207 modulates the voice signal of the called terminal 113 based on the voice information provided from the data extraction module 205. The modulated voice signal is provided through the speaker of the calling terminal 111. As a result, the user modifies the received voice in addition to the modulation for the outgoing voice, thereby increasing the functionality of the voice modulation.

As described above, the mobile voice modulation system, a terminal capable of voice modulation, and an implementation method thereof according to the present invention, based on the voice modulation algorithm and the communication operation algorithm, after receiving at least one entertainer voice information, the incoming call By realizing variable voice modulation for a specific person in a call state with a terminal, the voice information for the specific person can be made into a content, thereby contributing to the development of an online market.

In addition, in the present invention, in addition to the voice modulation of the caller, it is possible to modify the receiver voice based on the user's selection, thereby improving the functionality of the voice modulation.
