Fig. 2 is the block diagram that generates the equipment of audio frequency at the application of text only according to of the present invention.
Embodiment
With reference to the accompanying drawings, describe the present invention now in detail.
Fig. 1 represents the flow chart that generates the method for audio frequency at the application of text only according to of the present invention.
In step 100, import for example text application of SMS, Email, audio frequency books etc.In step 110, generate label from input text.Preferably, handle two groups of labels of generation (describing after a while) at audio frequency.Under specific situation, these labels can insert by hand, generate for example by user's input, or by terminal, and described terminal comprises mobile phone, PDA (personal digital assistant), laptop computer and can add any other equipment of label in the text.In order to implement this step, can use multiple SGML, these SGMLs include but not limited to VoiceXML (the speech UI and the audio frequency that are used for webpage are played up), JSML (JSpeech SGML (java of Sun Microsystems)), STML (speech text SGML), Sable (attempting in conjunction with JSML and STML), SSML (by the SSML of W3 recommendation), SMIL (being used for the synchronous multimedia integrate language that multimedia presents).In this step, also can comprise ACSS (audio cascading style sheets).It can be used to define the attribute of number voice, regulation phonetic synthesis and audio frequency, and carry out speech and audio frequency overlapping.In addition, ACSS has some space audio features (for example orientation, highly).According to the present invention, new SGML (the audio frequency XML form that for example comprises the label that is applied to voice, music and audio frequency effect) can be established in order to add for example stereo or 3D audio to audio frequency.For example, input message is that " sorry, I do not listen to, and a phone call for you.I play table tennis at that time, and I have won ".Exemplary pseudo-label is:<continue to play: background music sorry, I do not listen to yours<audio frequency replaces: phone.I play table tennis<the audio frequency icon at that time: table tennis〉I have won!<audio frequency icon: pyrotechnics〉<finish to play: background music 〉.
In step 120, the label that adds in step 110 is converted to the instruction that can be used to synthetic video and generates the message that the control audio frequency is handled, and any one in the two can be used as the input that audio frequency is handled.Synthetic for sound, can use MIDI message.For phonetic synthesis, then can use the extended version (thereby with reference to the SSML+ among the figure 1) of SSML.Step 120 can comprise a kind of feature: randomization (randomization).For the listener, accurately repeat sound and will make the people become bored very soon, in addition horrible.In the audio frequency design of recreation, for example, can record the personage who repeatedly repeats same line usually, thereby the user does not need repeatedly accurately to listen to identical sample.Can be permitted different ways and be inserted randomness.Some examples are as follows:
General
Change the rudimentary parameter (speech, musical instrument) of playing up
Change the selection of " the sound's icon " (the very brief sound that is equal to " laugh ")
Change spatial impression effect and reprocessing
Voice
Definition
Synchronous (voice rhythm, the time-out) of change event
Revise text but do not revise the meaning
Music
Use the music of algorithm to generate
Revise tone and/or the speed of sample sound
Effect
Differently play up similar sound
Audio frequency is played up and can be supported some to play up the rudimentary control of parameter (for example, being embedded in the value in the MIDI message), and for example footsteps can change at synchronous, tone and duration, makes sound sound that the difference of the same event of total picture takes place.
Randomized advantage is significantly, and it has added unexpected value and has prevented the user owing to accurately repeat to become and be weary of or be sick of, and has stoped the audio frequency of playing up to be predicted too easily, and has obtained for the complete possibility of adjusting setting according to the personal like.
In step 130, processed with output audio from the input of step 120.For phonetic synthesis, can use TTS (Text To Speech) engine that the text of labelization (for example, SSML+) is converted into voice.Tts system is significantly improved in the past few years.Goods (artifact) make voice sound " becoming more meticulous " rather than " robot formula ".It is very natural that the quality of voice can be done, but the TTS of good quality means the bigger calculating of intensity aspect MIPS and storage.Synthesize for audio frequency, need comprise two types Composite tone of music and effect (for example footsteps, beach and chirm).Be applicable to that the MIDI as control language can comprise effect setting (reverberation, chorus etc.), priority (SP-MIDI), timestamp and influence the low-level parameters of sound.The wave table that uses in MIDI is synthetic can carry out music and effect well.Wave table Compositing Engine (audio frequency Compositing Engine) (referring to Fig. 1) is to obey GM1's (General MIDI) and can make it obey GM2, supports DLS (can download sound) and all main sample rates.
Then flow process advances to step 140, further handles the output audio from step 130.
With reference now to Fig. 2,, it illustrates according to of the present invention and generates the equipment of audio frequency at the application of text only, and this equipment is the method in the flow chart of execution graph 1 correspondingly.After the application that receives text only, the label adding set is organized label at the text generation of input more.Under specific situation, these labels can insert by hand, generate for example by user's input, or by terminal, and described terminal comprises mobile phone, PDA (personal digital assistant), laptop computer and can add any other equipment of label in the text.Preferably, can generate two groups of labels by the label adding set.One group of label is used for tts engine effectively, for this purpose, can use for example form of SSML.Another group label can be used for the audio frequency Compositing Engine effectively, and this engine can generate audio and music.Such form can be represented as audio frequency XML (referring to Fig. 2).Under the situation that for example SMS uses, the label adding set may operate on transmit leg or recipient's the terminal.
Then label processing device can be converted into label the rudimentary instruction that can be used to synthetic video and generate the message that the control audio frequency is handled, and interpolation " unexpected value ".Synthetic for sound, can use MIDI message.For TTS, then can use the extended version (thereby with reference to the SSML+ among the figure 2) of SSML.Label processing device has to operate on listener's the terminal.Label processing device can comprise a kind of feature: randomization.Utilize the sound Compositing Engine, can implement delicate variation by the little change in the rudimentary instruction.For example footsteps can change at synchronous, tone and duration, takes place thereby sound sounds the difference of the same event of total picture.
Audio frequency generating apparatus (referring to the dotted portion of Fig. 2) receives the output from label processing device.For phonetic synthesis, it is favourable using tts engine to carry out and handling.Synthetic for audio frequency, then use the wave table Compositing Engine to carry out music well and effect is favourable.
Apparatus for processing audio is used to carry out for example 3D algorithm and reprocessing from the output of TTS and audio frequency Compositing Engine.Apparatus for processing audio can be carried out down at least one in the surface function: 3dpa, Mono are to 3d space sense enhancing, stereo amplification, reverberation, equilibrium (equalizer) and DRC (dynamic range control).In addition, apparatus for processing audio is supported the real time altering (3D position, at the T60 of reverberation) of sample rate conversion, mixing, parameter alternatively.
Equipment of the present invention can be applied in and can generate at the application of text only in the communication terminal of audio frequency, this communication terminal comprises label processing device, for the treatment of being added in the input text and can be used for adding to the audio frequency that generates the label of audio, thereby be formed for generating the instruction of audio frequency; The audio frequency generating apparatus is used for generating the audio frequency that has audio based on instruction, presents text simultaneously.Alternatively, communication terminal can comprise the label adding set in addition, is used for adding label to input text.Communication terminal for example is portable terminal.
Although disclose specific implementations of the present invention, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that and to make a change and can not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention at specific execution mode.The present invention is absorbed in audio frequency, but also can carry out at the situation that is equal to that is used for adding to the application of text figure.Therefore, the invention is not restricted to specific execution mode, and intention is that claims comprise any and all such application, modification and the execution mode in the scope of the present invention.
