1 is a system diagram for explaining the configuration of a sound source data output system according to a message according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a sound source data output system according to a message may include a terminal 110, a communication network 120, and a ring tone providing server 130.

The terminal 110 receives a message through the communication network 120. The terminal 110 reads text data from the received message and generates sound source data according to the read text data.

For example, assume that a message received by the terminal 110 (hereinafter, referred to as a received message) is "hello?" In this case, the terminal 110 reads out the text data "hello". The terminal 110 uses the sound of the scale mapped to each syllable of "not", "good", "low", "three", "yo", and "?" (Using character-to-sound mapping information, which will be described later). Sound source data can be generated.

In addition, the terminal 110 may output the generated sound source data as a ring tone for receiving the message or a background sound while the message is displayed. That is, the terminal 110 may combine the sound corresponding to each syllable of the text data included in the received message and output the ringing tone or the background sound.

The communication network 120 includes not only CDMA or WCDMA, but also all wired and wireless communication networks 120 and 120 capable of providing a message transmission service to the terminal 110. Here, the message transmission service may include a short message service (SMS), a multimedia message service (MMS), and a long message service (LMS).

WCDMA will be described below as an example. A WCDMA network providing a plurality of contents according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a radio base station (Node B), a radio control station (RNC), a serving GPRS support node (SGSN), and a gateway GPRS support node (GGSN). And a message transfer server (eg, SMSC, MMSC, etc.). Since the WCDMA network is a known technology, detailed descriptions are omitted to clarify the gist of the present invention.

The ring tone providing server 130 is a server that provides ring tone related information to the terminal 110 connected through the communication network 120. For example, the ring tone providing server 130 may include any device that provides data as well as a site providing a service such as Naver, Yahoo, Magic'n, Sori, and Picture Country.

In particular, the ring tone providing server 130 may provide information for generating sound source data to the terminal 110, such as a text-to-sound mapping table (to be described later).

So far, the sound source data output system according to the message according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to FIG. 1. Hereinafter, the sound source data output terminal 110 according to the message will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a sound source data output terminal 110 according to a message according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, the sound source data output terminal 110 according to the message may include a communication unit 210, an input unit 220, an output unit 230, a control unit 240, and a storage unit 250.

Here, the input unit 220 including a communication unit 210 for performing wireless communication using the local area network 120 or the mobile communication network 120, a keypad for input control of the terminal 110, a voice call service or data An output unit 230 including a voice processing device and a display device for providing data necessary for using a service to a user, a storage unit 250 for storing various data, and an operation for driving the terminal 110; Since the general operation of the controller 240 for controlling each component is obvious to those skilled in the art, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the present invention, the communication unit 210 receives a reception message from the communication network 120. In addition, the communication unit 210 may download the ring tone output related information from the ring tone providing server 130.

Here, the ring tone related information includes character-to-sound source mapping information in which characters are mapped to predetermined sound sources. For example, the character-to-source mapping information is information that maps between syllables and scales, information that maps sounds between rhymes and scales, information that maps words and scales, and information that maps symbols and scales. Can be. In addition, the character-to-sound source mapping information may be information for mapping each of syllables, phonemes, words, and the like. Here, the sound effect may include a specific melody, chords, special sound effects (horse hoof sound, reed sound, etc.).

In the present invention, the control unit 240 may read text data from the received message and generate sound source data using the read text data.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the controller 240 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, the controller 240 includes an analyzer 241 and a sound source manager 242.

The analyzer 241 analyzes the received message and reads the text data of the received message.

The analyzer 241 analyzes the received message. In detail, the analyzer 241 may delete the header of the message and read the text data included in the body of the message.

For example, suppose the incoming message is an MMS message containing text data and picture files. In this case, the analyzer 241 may delete the header of the message, delete the picture file from the body of the message, and read the text data.

Here, the text data may include letters (language) or symbols displayed on the display area of the terminal 110.

The sound source manager 242 generates sound source data corresponding to the character data read by the analyzer 241. In detail, the sound source manager 242 selects a sound source (sound or effect sound of the scale) corresponding to the character data using the character-to-sound source mapping information. The sound source manager 242 may generate sound source data by using the selected sound source (for example, by sequentially combining).

Here, the character-sound source mapping information may be rule or table information for mapping a character to a predetermined sound source.

For example, the sound source management unit 242 maps the sounds (including up or down) from the base octave sequentially from the base octave (a to ㅎ) to degrees, and the neutral from one octave to one octave higher, It is possible to use a rule that maps the sound sequentially from degrees to hours in one octave lower octave in the basic octave. Therefore, when the letter "angle" is read, the sound source manager 242 may select three sound sources corresponding to "degrees" from the above-described three octaves.

As another example, the sound source manager 242 may use a table in which the sounds of one scale are mapped to the characters forming one syllable. Accordingly, the sound source manager 242 may select a sound (for example, a basic sound b) of a scale corresponding to the letter (syllable) of "angle" as the sound source.

In addition, the sound source manager 242 may set or change the stored character-to-sound source mapping information as information downloaded from the user's input or the ring tone providing server 130.

Therefore, the user can set the sound source corresponding to each of the "large" and "out" (for example, the sound of the scale) as the desired sound source. The terminal 110 may output a ring tone to a sound source set by a user for a text message containing a “large” and “outgoing” (highly likely to be a spam text message), and may distinguish the spam text message by the ring tone only. The output of the sound source data will be described later.

In the present invention, the output unit 230 outputs the generated sound source data. As described above, a voice processing device or a display device for providing data to a user is included.

In detail, the output unit 230 may output sound source data as a ring tone for notifying reception of a message.

In general, when a user receives a message, the user may know the reception of the message by using a vibration, a preset ring tone or a lamp according to the call notification mode.

However, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal 110 may further include an 'incoming notification mode according to the message'. Therefore, when the message is received, the terminal 110 determines the set incoming notification mode. In addition, the output unit 230 may output the sound source data generated when the call reception mode according to the message is generated.

For example, in the case of the 'basic ring tone output mode', the output unit 230 may output the set basic ring tone.

In addition, the output unit 230 may output the generated sound source data as a background sound. In detail, the output unit 230 may output the sound source data generated as the background sound while the received message is displayed on the display area by the user's selection.

In the present invention, the storage unit 250 may store the character-to-sound source mapping information. Here, the character-to-sound source mapping information is information obtained by mapping a character (syllable, phoneme, symbol, etc.) and a sound source (sound of a scale, sound effect) as described above.

The stored character-to-sound source mapping information may be set or changed using a user input or the downloaded information described above.

In the present specification, the communication unit 210, the input unit 220, the output unit 230, the control unit (including the analysis unit 241 and the sound source management unit 242) 240 and the storage unit 250 are functionally represented. That is, although each functional unit is expressed separately, this is for convenience of description and may be implemented in one circuit (micro circuit as one logic unit).

In particular, although the analysis unit and the sound source management unit are expressed as components in the control unit, they may be implemented as one component together with the control unit. Alternatively, the control unit may be separated from the control unit and implemented as a separate component.

So far, the sound source data output terminal 110 according to the message according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to FIG. 2. Hereinafter, a sound source data output method according to a message will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a sound source data output method according to a message according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the present invention, the terminal 110 analyzes the received message and reads the text data. The terminal 110 generates sound source data by selecting a sound source corresponding to the read character data.

In this case, the terminal 110 may output the generated sound source data as the ring tone.

In operation S310, the terminal 110 receives a message (hereinafter, referred to as a reception message) from the communication network 120. Here, the message may include SMS, MMS and LMS.

Subsequently, in step S320, the terminal 110 determines the set incoming notification mode for notifying the reception of the message. Here, the incoming call notification mode is a 'vibration mode' for notifying the reception of the message by vibration, the 'silent mode' for notifying the lamp, the 'basic ringtone output mode' for outputting the default ringtone, the 'ringtone output according to the message to output the ringtone according to the message Mode ".

Subsequently, in step S330, when the terminal 110 determines that the terminal 110 is set to the 'ring tone output mode according to the message', the terminal 110 reads the text data by analyzing the received message.

Here, the text data is data about the content of the received message displayed in the display area of the terminal 110. Also, the character data may include syllables, phonemes, words, symbols, and the like.

Subsequently, in step S340, the terminal 110 generates sound source data corresponding to the text data read in step S330. In this case, the terminal 110 may use text-mapping information. That is, the terminal 110 may generate sound source data according to the received message by using the text data and the text-mapping information. Here, the character-sound source mapping information may be rule or table information for mapping a character to a predetermined sound source.

In operation S350, the terminal 110 outputs the generated sound source data. In detail, the terminal 110 may output the generated sound source data as a ring tone indicating the reception of the received message.

In addition, although not shown in FIG. 3, the terminal 110 may output the generated sound source data as a background sound. In detail, the terminal 110 may output the sound source data generated as the background sound while the received message is displayed on the display area by the user's selection.

On the other hand, in step S360, the terminal 110 is determined in step S320, when the terminal 110 is not set to the "ring tone output mode according to the message," the set incoming notification mode (vibration mode, silent mode, basic ring tone output mode) Etc.) may inform the user of the receipt of the message.

For example, when the terminal 110 is in the 'silent mode', the reception of the message may be displayed by using the flashing of the lamp. Alternatively, when the terminal 110 is in the 'basic ring tone output mode', the terminal 110 may output a preset ring tone to receive the message.

Up to now, the sound source data output method according to the message according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to FIG. 3. Hereinafter, the character-sound source mapping table will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4.

In the present invention, the terminal 110 generates sound source data according to the text data read from the received message. In this case, the terminal 110 may use the stored character-sound source mapping information. Here, the character-sound source mapping information may be rule or table information for mapping a character to a predetermined sound source.

Referring to FIG. 4, the character-to-sound source mapping information may be a table 410 in which a letter (syllable or unlanguage) or a symbol is mapped to a sound of a scale.

In detail, the character-source mapping table 410 has a syllable "a" for a "basic note (basic octave)", a syllable "I" for a "basic note #", and a syllable "a" for a "basic note level". It can be seen that the syllable "la" includes mapping information mapped to "basic sound level" and the syllable "ra" to "basic sound beauty", respectively.

Also, the character-to-sound source mapping table 410 shows that the syllable "a" is an English syllable, "a basic tone (basic octave) degree b", a syllable "b" is a "basic tone", and a syllable "c" is a "basic tone level". It can be seen that the syllable "d" includes mapping information mapped to "basic note level" and the syllable "e" to "basic note b", respectively.

Also, the character-sound source mapping table 410 may include mapping information of a symbol and a sound source.

Referring to FIG. 4, the character-to-sound source mapping table 410 has a symbol character "?" For "basic sound (basic octave) degree", a symbol character "!" For "basic sound level", and a symbol character "." For " It can be seen that the symbol information "," includes mapping information mapped to "basic sound wave" and the symbol character "^" to "basic sound brush" respectively.

In FIG. 4, the letters corresponding to the "basic sound levels" are overlapped, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the characters and sound sources may be set to have a one-to-one correspondence.

In addition, the sound source included in the character-sound source table 410 is not limited to the sound of the scale, and may be set as a melody or an effect sound as described above.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal 110 may set or change the character-to-sound mapping information. The user may set the sound of the scale for each syllable through an input device such as a keypad. Alternatively, the user may change part of the set character-sound source mapping information.

For example, if the user wants to easily receive the spam text message, the user may set the sound of the scale corresponding to "large" and "out" to an unusual sound (very high or very low).

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal 110 may download the character-to-sound source mapping information from the ring tone providing server 130. The terminal 110 may set or change the text-sound mapping information stored as the downloaded text-sound mapping information.

The invention can also be embodied as computer readable code on a computer readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored.

For example, the computer-readable recording medium may include a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, an optical data storage device, and the like.

It may also include the implementation in the form of a carrier wave (for example, transmission over the Internet).

The computer readable recording medium can also be distributed over network coupled computer systems so that the computer readable code is stored and executed in a distributed fashion.

And functional programs, codes and code segments for implementing the present invention can be easily inferred by programmers in the art to which the present invention belongs.
