In addition, when a change command is further generated while the voice message is being output, the voice transmission device 10 may output another voice message in the same chat room as the previously selected reception information. In this case, the control module 105 receives the change command and transmits it to the messenger app 20 so that the app control unit 210 can transmit another voice message to the voice delivery device 10 according to the change command. The voice transmission device 10 may control the voice output module 109 to output the received voice message.

After the voice output is completed, the process returns to step S407 to determine the input of the control command, and the input of the control command can be determined. Here, when the control command is not input, the messenger app enters the step of waiting for reception of a new message (S409).

In the step of waiting to receive a new message in the messenger app 20 (S409), when there is no input of a control command, the voice transmission device 10 receives a new message from the messenger server 30 to the messenger app 20. Wait until.

After the step of waiting to receive a new message in the messenger app 20 (S409), if a new message is received, the messenger app 20 may return to step S403 of generating received information to repeat the control process. .

In step S416 of performing a voice call, when a selection command for selecting reception information of a voice call request message is input as a control command, the app control unit 210 voices the mobile communication terminal T of the chat room participants in real time. Request the messenger server 30 to interlock the signal, and the messenger server 30 controls the mobile communication terminal T of the chat room participants to synchronize on the chat room to transmit and receive the first voice signal and the second voice signal in real time. .

Here, the app control unit 210 relays the first voice signal received in the chat room from the messenger server 30 through the server relay unit 201 to the device connection unit 206 in real time and transmits it to the voice transmission device 10. . In addition, the app control unit 210 controls to transmit the second voice signal received from the voice transmission device 10 to the messenger app 20 in real time through the server relay unit 201 to the chat room of the messenger server 30. Proceed with voice calls.

Here, the control module 105 controls the short-range communication module, voice output module, and voice input module to receive the first voice signal received by the messenger app 20, and generates the second voice signal to generate a real-time messenger app ( 20). The voice transmission device 10 may perform voice communication without additional manipulation of the mobile communication terminal T.

The control method of the voice delivery system 1 may further include a step of changing received information (S410).

In step S410 of changing the received information, when the change command is input in step S407 of determining the input of the control command, the messenger app 20 changes the received information. For example, the control module 105 transmits a change command to the messenger app 20 when a change command is input through operation of the change unit 112. The app control unit 210 receives the change command and changes the reception information to be transmitted to the voice transmission device 10 in the reception information management unit 205.

Thereafter, the control method of the voice transmission system 1 returns to step S404 of transmitting the reception information to the voice transmission device 10 and repeats the control process.

On the other hand, the control method of the voice transmission system 1 is a step of inputting a user's voice in the voice input module 113 (S411), a step of determining a re-entry of the input command (S412), and converting the voice into a voice message. Step S413, a step of inputting a transmission command (S414) and a step of relaying the user's voice to the chat room (S415) may be further included.

In the voice input module 113, the step of inputting the user's voice (S411) is when the input command is input in step S407 of determining the input of the control command, the voice input module 113 of the voice transmission device 10 The user's voice is input to generate a second voice signal. For example, the control module 105 may control the voice input module 113 to generate a second voice signal by inputting a user's voice when an input command is input through operation of the input unit 114. In addition, the control module 105 may control the short-range communication module 106 to transmit an input command to the app control unit 210 and transmit a second voice signal to the message conversion unit 207.

In step S412 of determining re-entry of the input command, re-entry of the voice input command is determined. Here, when the voice input command is re-entered, the second voice signal is converted into a voice message (S413). In addition, if the voice input command is not re-entered, the voice input module 113 maintains the step of inputting the user's voice (S411).

In step S413 of converting a voice into a voice message, when the input command is re-entered, the input of the voice is stopped, and the second voice signal is converted into a voice message. For example, when the voice input is re-entered, the control module 105 transmits a voice input command to the app control unit 210. The app control unit 210 controls the message conversion unit 207 to convert the second voice signal transmitted to the message conversion unit 207 into a voice message.

In step S414 of inputting a transmission command, a transmission command may be input from the transmission unit 15.

In step S415 of relaying the user's voice to the chat room, the second voice signal converted into a voice message in the messenger app 20 is relayed to the chat room. For example, the control module 105 receives a transmission command and transmits it to the app control unit 210. The app control unit 210 may relay the second voice signal converted into a voice message according to the transmission command to be transmitted to the chat room corresponding to the received information selected by the voice transmission device 10.

10 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a voice delivery system according to another embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 10, the control method of the voice delivery system 1 may further include determining a type of a new message (S421) and converting a text message to a voice message (S422).

In step S421 of determining the type of the new message, the server relay unit 201 determines the type of the received message. For example, in the step of determining the type of the new message, the server relay unit 201 may determine whether the received new message is a voice call request message, a voice message, or a text message.

Here, the step of determining the type of the new message (S421) proceeds to the step of generating reception information (S403) when it is determined that the new message is a voice call request message or a voice message. In addition, the step (S421) of determining the type of the new message goes to step (S422) of converting the text message into a voice message when the new message is a text message. In addition, when the new message is not a voice call request message, a voice message, or a text message, the process may proceed to step S409 of waiting for reception of the new message in the messenger app 20.

In step S422 of converting a text message to a voice message, when the new message is a text message, the text message can be converted to a voice message by transmitting the text message to the voice message converter 207.

Thereafter, in the step S403 of generating reception information in the messenger app 20, the reception information of the text message converted to the voice message may be further generated, and the voice output module 109 outputs the voice message ( In S408), it may be possible to output a text message as sound.

11 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a voice delivery system according to another embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 11, the control method of the voice delivery system 1 further includes determining a language of the new message (S431) and generating a translated voice message by translating the language of the new message (S432). Can.

In step S431 of determining the language of the new message, the translation unit 208 receives the new message and determines the language in which the message is written. The translation unit 208 may recognize words or pronunciations on the message, and determine a written language by combining them.

Translating the language of the new message to generate the translated voice message (S432), if the translation unit 208 does not match the determined language of the message and the set language information of the voice transmission device 10, the voice transmission device ( The voice message can be translated into the same language as the setting language of 10).

Thereafter, in step S08 of outputting the voice message from the voice output module 109, the translated voice message may be output.
