BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 is a view illustrating the construction of a service construction system capable of providing a morning call function, a schedule management and a message transfer function according to the present invention.
As shown in Figure 1 , a service construction system of a morning call, a schedule management and a message transfer includes a cellular phone 10 or a computer capable of downloading a software 30 for inputting a service content from a server of a service provider and transferring an information that a service user inputs to a server of a service provider, and a server 40 in which a service that a user wants is implemented using a technique of a voice and image modulation mixing based on a service content transferred and the service is transferred to a cellular phone 50 or a PDA 60 at a certain time. The cellular phone 10 and the computer 20 download a software 30 capable of inputting a service content from a server of a service provider based on a wireless or wired method, so that a character, a voice signal, an image signal, a modulation and mixing of a desired voice and image, and a telephone number and address of a service user are inputted. The software 30 is capable of achieving an interaction with an image or motion picture fabrication program stored in a cellular phone or computer of a service demander and is capable of directly fabricating a desired image or voice. In the software 30, a desired character, voice or image may be inputted in a question form, so that a character, image and voice signal provided on the service are made.
In the case of the voice signal, in the case that voices and images of a famous entertainer such as a singer, movie star, etc. and a sports star are modulated and mixed, a certain person whose voice is modulated may be designated and inputted together with the contents of a voice signal.
In addition, in the case of the image signal, it is possible to input an image or a motion picture of a famous star fabricated by him, and an implementation method of an image or motion picture previously inputted into a server may be designated and inputted.
The server 40 receives various information inputted through a software from the cellular phone 10 or the computer of the service demander and processes a voice signal and image signal based on the service content. The server 40 stores voices of famous stars and various images and background screens of the stars, so that the voice signal and image signal corresponding to the information inputted are selected, and the service is provided.
In the case that the input signals have a certain content to be modulated and mixed, the voices are modulated and mixed into the voices of a certain person (for example, a famous entertainer such as a singer, a movie star or a sports star) through a voice conversion software installed in the server 40.
The voice modulation and mixing technique by a voice modulation mixing unit divides a feature with respect to a voice signal of a certain person to be changed into a spectrum envelopment information and a pitch information. The spectrum envelopment information of a certain person is modeled to a HM (Hidden Markov Model). The pitch information of a certain person is stored in the server 40. When it is needed to change to the voice of a certain person, a mapping relationship is processed based on the spectrum envelopment information stored in the server 40. In a histogram conversion method, the pitch histogram of the voice signal inputted is changed to have a pitch probability distribution of a certain person.
In the case of the image implementation technique, the service demander can user an image or motion picture fabricated using motion picture or image fabrication software stored in a cellular phone or a computer. For example, the service demander can edit an image using an image fabrication software and can fabricate a new image or a picture of a star. In addition, a motion picture having a game state of a certain sports star may be edited and transferred to the server using an input software.
In addition, the service demander may select a previously fabricated image, voice, etc. without fabricating an image or motion picture. For example, an image, motion picture, avatar, etc. of the stars are stored in the server 40, and the images and motion pictures of the stars that the service demander wants are selected and edited. When the desired information is inputted using the input software 30, the selected image or motion picture is edited based on a user's demand using the voice and image information stored in the server 40 and is provided. The cellular phone 50 or the PDA 60 performs a character, voice, image signal (including motion picture) inputted from the server 40. The method that the character, voice, and image signal are implemented based on the character, may be selected by the service user. Figure 3 illustrates an embodiment with respect to the implementation method.
Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method for providing a morning call function, a schedule management and a message transfer using a voice and image of a certain person based on a cellular phone and PDA using a voice and image modulation and mixing technique according to the present invention. First, the service user downloads (S100) a program that the content of a desired service is inputted to a cellular phone or a computer through a server of the service provider. The content of a desired service is inputted (S200) using the program and is transferred (S300) to the server.
Next, the service provider analyzes the service content that the server received and modulates or mixes the character, voice and image signal based on the contents that the service demander wants for thereby fabricating an image (S400). The character, voice and images processed by the cellular phone or computer are retransferred (S500). At this time, a satisfaction of the service demander is checked with respect to the processed character, voice and image. As a result of the check, if not satisfied, the routine is processed from the step S200, and the above routine is repeated until a desired voice and image signal are obtained.
When a user transfers a signal concerning the satisfaction with respect to the voice and image signals, the server transfers (S600) the voice and image signals to the user's cellular phone or PDA on the date that the user designated. The voice and image signals transferred to the cellular phone in the designated date are executed (S700), so that the services such as a morning call, schedule management and message transfer are provided.
Figure 3 is a view illustrating an embodiment that a motion picture or a character is implemented on a cellular phone or a PDA according to the present invention.
As shown in Figure 3, in a method for displaying the motion picture and character on the cellular phone or the PDA, three output windows are displayed. A motion picture is displayed on a largest window 100. A character is displayed on a lower window 200. A time or an incoming information of the cellular phone are displayed on a right window 300.
The implementation method is not limited to the above method. The output windows may be deleted or added based on a change of setting in the cellular phone or PDA of the service user. In addition, the positions of the windows may be changed. The outputs of the character, image and voice signals may be changed. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
