Benefits of technology
Enables the generation and distribution of personalized media that sounds like an original recording, with seamless transitions and real-time or asynchronous playback on diverse devices, enhancing user experience through scalable and efficient media processing.
Problems solved by technology
The end result is often times an awkward sounding message that fails to seamlessly integrate the prerecorded audio tracks.
In addition to obvious transitions between clips, gaps of silence and intonation differences make this type of personalized media unagreeable to the human ear.
Existing solutions do not provide a way to generate an audio file that seamlessly integrates a plurality of audio files in a way that makes the generated file sound like an original recording with undetectable transitions, rather than a computer generated message.
Moreover, current systems do not personalize the content of the generated audio file based on user information automatically obtained from the device or software program utilized to access the system and / or context information associated with the user.
For example, current systems do not provide a mechanism for automatically generating and disseminating a personalized ring tones or ringback tones in real-time or in an asynchronous manner.

Embodiment Construction
[0019] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a more thorough description of embodiments of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well known features have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the invention.
[0020] One or more embodiments of the invention are directed to a system and method for generating and distributing personalized media. Personalized media is generated via one or more embodiments of the invention by selecting one or more static clips comprising a master clip having predefined gaps or slots, obtaining insert data (e.g., an insert clip), seamlessly merging the insert data into the selected master clip to generate a media clip with undetectable transitions between spliced clips. Personalized media is distributed via one or more embodiments of the invention by optionally adding dynamic context...

Personalized media is generated by obtaining a master clip having predefined insert points, obtaining an insert clip, seamlessly merging the insert clip into the selected master clip to generate a personalized media clip with undetectable transitions between spliced clips. An insert clip is utilized for purposes of adding variables such as a name, place, time, gender, product name or any other desirable information to a master clip. Dynamic context data may be added and transmitted to a client playback device. This distribution process may be in real-time or asynchronous until requested. The playback device may use the clip for ring tone, ringback tone or voice message or any other purpose. Although the contents of the master clip and / or the insert clip may use any voice including the originator's voice, celebrity voices or the voices of celebrity impersonators may be utilized. The master clip and insert clip may be seamlessly merged using uncompressed or compressed data in given formats.
Description
[0001] This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 040,166, filed 1 / 20 / 2005 which is a continuation in part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 605,527 filed Oct. 6, 2003 which takes benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 416,127 filed Oct. 4, 2002, the specifications all of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] Embodiments of the invention pertain to the field of computer systems. More particularly, the invention is directed to a system and method for generating and distributing personalized media using computers. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Modem systems generate and utilize multimedia data in a plurality of different ways. For example, users can currently communicate information to and hear responses from systems that generate audio data and transmit that data back to the user over the telephone. Typically, existing systems utilize a ma...
