Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
Hereinafter, a configuration of an animation message service system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1.
A Web server 100 provides a Web site for selection or edition of an animation message of the invention to various kinds of terminals connected through a wire/wireless network. In addition, the Web server 100 downloads the animation message to a particular terminal.
A database 102 stores various files for the animation message service according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The files include an animation file, an audio file, a lip-sync file, an animation message, etc, as shown in (a) to (d) of FIG. 2. The animation file is constituted by an animation file generated by converting a 3D animation file into a flash file, and information on lip position of a character which belongs to the animation file, as shown in (a) of FIG. 2. Here, the lip position information refers to position information to be modified for lip- sync. The lip-sync file is constituted by announcement of a text data type, voice data corresponding to the announcement, and lip motion data corresponding to the announcement, as shown in (c) of FIG. 2. In addition, the animation message combined by a client is constituted by some or all of an animation file, lip position information, an audio file and a lip- sync file depending on selection of a client.
A manager terminal 104 generates 3D animation using software such as 3D MAX or Maya at a manager's request, converts the 3D animation into a flash file as an animation file, and stores the animation file in the database 102 through the Web server 100.
In addition, the manager terminal 104 adds the lip position information of the character belonging to the animation file to the animation file for performance of a lip sync function of the present invention.
In addition, the manager terminal 104 generates an audio file at a client's request and stores the audio file in the database 102 through the Web server 100.
Various types of client terminals Tl to T3 such as mobile communication terminals or personal computers access a Web site of the Web server 100 through a wired/wireless network, organizes an animation message using some selected from various animation files, audio files and lip-sync files stored in the database 102, and requests transmission of the animation message. The request for the transmission of the animation message may be made to the requesting terminal or other terminals. Now, an operation of the animation message service system as constructed above will be described with reference to a procedural diagram of FIG. 3.
The manager terminal 104 generates a 3D animation file using software such as 3D MAX or Maya at a service provider's request (Step 200) and converts the 3D animation file into a flash file (Step 202). Thereafter, the manager terminal 104 adds lip position information of a character included in the animation file to the animation file converted into the flash file and transmits the animation file, along with the lip position information, to the Web server 100 (Step 204).
The Web server 100 that received the animation file to which the lip position information is added stores the animation file in the database 102 (Step 206).
The Steps 200 to 206 are repeated to store a plurality of animation files corresponding to various events in the database 102.
In addition, the manager terminal 102 generates an audio file which can be used as a background sound or an effect sound at a service provider's request and provides the generated audio file to the Web server 100 (Step 208).
The manager terminal 102 that received the audio file stores the audio file in the database 102 (Step 210).
The Steps 208 and 210 are repeated to store a plurality of audio files corresponding to various events in the database 102. In addition, the manager terminal 102 generates a lip-sync file, which is constituted by announcement, voice data corresponding to the announcement, and lip motion data according to the voice data, at a service provider's request, and provides the generated lip-sync file to the Web server 100 (Step 212).
The manager terminal 102 that received the lip-sync file stores the lip- sync file in the database 102 (Step 214).
The Steps 212 and 214 are repeated to store a plurality of lip-sync files corresponding to various announcements in the database 102.
When one (for example, Tl) of the plurality of client terminals Tl to T3 accesses the Web server 100 through the wired/wireless network at a client's request, the Web server 100 shows an animation file list, an audio file list and a lip-sync file list which are stored in the database 102, and a client selects one or more of an animation file, an audio file and a lip-sync file from the shown lists and requests the Web server 100 to organize an animation message (Step 218).
According to the request of the client, the Web server 100 reads one or more of the animation file, the audio file and the lip-sync file, which are selected by the client, from the database 102 and organizes the animation message based on the read file(s). Thereafter, the Web server 100 transmits the organized animation message to the client terminal Tl or a client terminal requested by the client. The animation message is transmitted to the terminal through the wired/wireless network or other mobile communication systems (not shown).
The client terminal Tl that received the animation message synchronizes and reproduces the animation file, the audio file and the lip-sync file included in the animation message.
Now, a method of reproducing the animation message will be described in more detail.
Prior to description about the reproducing method, a general configuration of the client terminal Tl will be first described with reference to FIG. 4.
The client terminal Tl includes a controller 300, a memory unit 302, a communication module 302, an operating panel 306, an audio signal processor 308, a speaker 310, a video signal processor 312 and a display device 314. The controller 300 controls the entire operation of the client terminal Tl, including reproducing an animation message according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
The memory unit 302 stores a variety of information including process programs of the controller 300 and, particularly, an animation message received from the Web server 100.
The communication module 304 communicates with the Web server 100 through a wireless network, such as WiBro, or other mobile communication systems (not shown).
The operating panel 306 interfaces between a user and the controller 300 and provides various kinds of information related to selection by the user to the controller 300. The audio signal processor 308 processes an audio signal under control of the controller 300 and outputs the processed audio signal through the speaker 310.
The video signal processor 312 processes a video signal under control of the controller 300 and outputs the processed video signal through the display device 314.
Now, the method of reproducing the animation message in the client terminal Tl as constructed above will be described with reference to FIG. 5.
The controller 300 executes an instruction to reproduce the animation message stored in the memory unit 302, which is inputted by a user through the operating panel 306, or checks whether or not there occurs a receipt event of the animation message through the communication module 304 (Step 400).
If there occurs a reproduction instruction from the user or the receipt event of the animation message, the controller 300 reads the animation message from the memory unit 302 and checks whether or not a lip-sync file and an audio file are included in the read animation message (Step 404).
If the lip-sync file and the audio file are included in the animation message, the controller 300 synchronizes and reproduces an animation file, voice data of the lip-sync file, and the audio file included in the animation message, and modifies an image portion, which corresponds to lip position information added to the animation file, based on lip motion information included in the lip- sync file (Step 406). As a result, a lip of a character included in the animation message moves in correspondence to the voice data. Thus, 3D animation is reproduced, a background sound or an effect sound and the voice data are outputted in synchronization with the 3D animation, and the character's lip moves as if the character really speaks, according to the voice data.
On the other hand, if only the lip-sync file is included in the animation message (Step 408), the controller 300 synchronizes and reproduces the animation file and the voice data of the lip-sync file included in the animation message, and modifies an image portion, which corresponds to the lip position information added to the animation file, based on the lip motion information included in the lip-sync file (Step 410). Thus, 3D animation is reproduced, the voice data are outputted in synchronization with the 3D animation, and the character's lip moves as if the character really speaks, according to the voice data.
In addition, if only the audio file is included in the animation message, the controller 300 synchronizes and reproduces only the animation file and the audio file (Step 412.
