Definitions

  • the present invention may allow for the creation of avatars.
  • avatars may be used with other media assets within, or accessible to, the vault, as creatives, or may constitute purchaseable creatives in their own right, for example.
  • a user of the system may create an avatar for him/herself, and/or may create an avatar incorporating or based on a brand or personality.
  • the images may also be cropped to capture only those portions relevant to the avatar of interest in the requested creative.
  • an avatar creation engine may process the images and create an avatar based on the selected portion of the uploaded image.
  • the present invention may, via software, use the multiple available cropped images to generate a three dimensional estimate of certain points of interest on the cropped images to allow for preparation of the avatar.
  • Such points of interest may include, for example, certain facial contours, wherein such points of interest may be calculated relative to other points of interests, such as other facial feature.
  • the availability of multiple images likely at at least slightly different angles, improves the availability of relative calculations of facial or other relative points of interest, although the present invention may be similarly employed with the uploading of only a single image.
  • Such a widget may take the form of an access key which, for a fee, would allow for the display or downloading of the avatar or avatar interactive media as a creative to a desktop, for example.
  • an episode of "Friends" that includes an avatar as one of the characters in a coffee shop may be shown on the webpage of the user who is the subject of the avatar on the social network page of that user through the use of a widget.
  • Access in this fashion may be charged as a one time fee, or may be time based, or per diem or periodically based, for example.
  • Such a creative may also be accessed, for example, by mail order DVD or on-demand cable services, among many other access methodologies, for example.
  • Text messaging such as MMS/SMS
  • MMS/SMS Text messaging
  • Picture messaging has become more and more popular now that cell phones often have built in or attachable cameras to enable people to send picture messaging back and forth.
  • Picture messaging is made possible through the MMS system via its support of all kinds of photos, graphics, animation, as well as video and audio clips.
  • MMS and like systems allow the sending and receiving of any type of multimedia messages. Further, such systems have been designed to work with mobile packet data services such as GPRS and lx/EVDO.
  • MMS-enabled mobile phones may thus enable subscribers to compose and send messages with one or more multimedia parts. Multimedia parts may include text, images, audio and video.
  • the ultimate constitution of the sound units may depend on the nature of the synthesizer.
  • the synthesizer may use syllables, demi-syllables, pairs of half syllables, or the like.
  • the sound analysis program may take the phonemes and identify how they may be grouped into the sound units of choice. In doing so, the sound analysis program may further keep track of the context of the sound units. That is, the sound analysis program may identify not only the sound unit, but also its neighboring sound units. As explained above, this may allow the system to flag text where particular sound units may vary by the pronunciation effects of their neighboring sound units. Thus, all sound units associated with a celebrity profile may be stored in the vault so that a record of phonetically important neighboring sound units is maintained.
  • synthesizers may be used to generate voice snippet data for a celebrity voice asset portfolio. Synthesis may be based on the stringing together of segments of recorded speech, to produce natural-sounding voice data. For example, unit selection synthesis may use those voice assets associated with a celebrity voice portfolio, such that the desired target utterance is created by determining the best chain of candidate assets (such as phrases, words, syllables or phonemes) from the portfolio. Such a process is typically achieved via use of a weighted decision tree mechanism, as may be understood by those skilled in the art. Any text selected for a celebrity to read may be used with a synthesizer to adapt to the voice quality and characteristic particular to that celebrity.
  • the audio asset is added to a pool of assets stored in the vault, which is connected to the central processing environment via the telecommunications network.
  • Related assets may be, for example, additional audio assets from the same celebrity.
  • the generated audio asset and at least one other related asset from the pool of related assets is selected for inclusion into a creative.
  • a request is made to deliver the creative to a second communication device.
  • the second communication device may alternatively be the same as the first communication device, but naturally this must be subsequent to the earlier steps of method 300, and therefore must be a different point in time from which the first communication device is being used in a prior step of method 300.
  • the creative is delivered to the second communication device via the telecommunications network.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de créer et de diffuser un élément sonore à la demande afin de l'incruster dans une oeuvre. Le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à accéder à un environnement de traitement central, à demander au moins un enregistrement d'au moins une portion d'une transmission sonore générée par un dispositif de communication, à générer au moins un élément sonore, à ajouter l'élément sonore à un ensemble d'éléments associés stockés dans un dépôt connecté à l'environnement de traitement central, à sélectionner l'élément sonore généré et au moins un autre élément associé à partir de l'ensemble d'éléments associés afin de former une oeuvre, puis à demander la diffusion de l'oeuvre à un autre dispositif de communication, et enfin, à diffuser l'oeuvre à l'autre dispositif de communication. Le procédé est exécuté en partie par un moteur de composition d'oeuvres également mentionné dans la description. Le moteur comprend un environnement de traitement central pourvu d'un processeur, d'un enregistreur numérique et d'un dépôt de stockage d'éléments numériques.
