Problems solved by technology

The general method of reading short messages is to use eyes to see the content of short messages. The current mobile terminal screens are generally smaller and the fonts are smaller, which makes it very difficult for many elderly people or people with poor eyesight to read. Therefore, someone invented The method of reading text short messages with sound can be used, refer to the Chinese patent (the patent number is CN200610122480, the name is a mobile phone that can realize text and voice conversion)
The described mobile phone capable of text-to-speech conversion solves the problem that the elderly or people with poor eyesight are struggling to read short message content, but because it only has one type of sound database corresponding to the text content, it cannot send people according to the text For example, it cannot produce sounds of different sound quality according to different ages or genders, so that users feel that this function of mobile phones is not humanized enough.
[0003] In addition, this kind of mobile phone does not have the user's ability to modify and expand the database, such as self-adaptive learning of unfamiliar words, so that users can customize the addition, deletion and modification of database content

Abstract

The present invention discloses a communication method by which a short text message can be read out by the voices with different tones which are emitted according to the different characteristics of senders. The method of the present invention includes four steps; firstly, a local phonic character set database is preset; secondly, the different types of voice set databases corresponding to the phonic character set database are preset, the voice set databases contain the related characteristics of senders; thirdly, the text content of a short message and the related characteristics of a sender are obtained; fourthly, a voice set database matching the related characteristics of the sender is used to play the short message. Because the present invention sets the voice set databases corresponding to the different characteristics of senders, the voices with different tones can be emitted according to the characteristics of senders, for example, the voices with different tones can be emitted according to different ages or sexes, consequently, certain characteristics of real persons can be truly matched, which enables a user to feel that the function of a mobile phone is more humanized.

Description

technical field [0001] The method belongs to the field of mobile communication, and in particular relates to a method for reading text short messages by voice at a mobile terminal. Background technique [0002] Currently, sending short messages has become more and more a common way of communication between people.
