Embodiment Construction

[0024] Exemplary embodiments are described with reference to the drawings.

[0025] exist Figure 1A In the exemplary scenario shown, the user equipment may be located close to the user. When the user equipment (A) receives a message such as a Short Message Service (Short Message Service, SMS) message or a Multimedia Messaging Service (Multimedia Messaging Service, MMS) message, the user equipment can determine that the messaging application is used to output the message content and The messaging application is configured for TTS output.

[0026] The user device can then use the data obtained by the sensors and microphones to determine user and environmental attributes. For example, as discussed in more detail below, the user device may actuate microphones and sensors to monitor the user's voice, detect environmental conditions, and determine a proximity indicator indicating the user's distance from the user device. Based on data received from the sensors and microphones, th...

Abstract

A dynamic text-to-speech (TTS) process and system are described. In response to receiving a command to provide information to a user, a device retrieves information and determines user and environmentattributes including: (i) a distance between the device and the user when the user uttered the query; and (ii) voice features of the user. Based on the user and environment attributes, the device determines a likely mood of the user, and a likely environment in which the user and user device are located in. An audio output template matching the likely mood and voice features of the user is selected. The audio output template is also compatible with the environment in which the user and device are located. The retrieved information is converted into an audio signal using the selected audio output template and output by the device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to speech synthesis. Background technique [0002] Devices increasingly use text-to-speech (Text-to-speech, TTS) functionality to provide audio output. However, TTS output usually cannot automatically adapt to the user's environment, and only a few limited methods (such as controlling the volume of the device) are available to control the TTS output. Contents of the invention [0003] According to some implementations, a TTS operation running on a user device may automatically control and modify audio output based on a number of factors, including the user's voice, the user's likely mood, and the environment in which the user device is located. For example, in some implementations, a user device may receive a command to provide information to the user. In response to receiving the command, the user device retrieves information related to the command and may determine user and environment attributes including...
