Interactive Storytelling System with Dynamic Voice Role Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Audio books and storytelling machines lack parent-child interactions due to a lack of variety in roles, tone, and sound, making the storytelling process boring.
Innovation Solution
A sharing device and method that creates and interacts with video and audio data by using a system with a creating module to store stories with preset and user-defined roles, a receiving module to set voice sources, and a matching module to match audio data with keywords and display corresponding video frames, allowing for dynamic storytelling with user involvement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If audio books or storytelling machines are used to present stories, then storytelling can be delivered, but parent-child interactions are lacking due to limited variety in roles, tone, and sound
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between multiple voice sources and roles during storytelling. Parents can select different voice sources (preset characters, child's voice, parent's voice) and the system adapts the narration dynamically based on user selections, creating varied roles and tones that enhance interactivity while maintaining ease of operation through simple selection interfaces
Solution Approach 2:
The storytelling system incorporates multiple functions within a single platform: it can use preset professional voice sources, record and use the child's voice, record and use the parent's voice, and switch between different roles dynamically. This multi-functionality provides variety in roles and sound while keeping the operation simple and unified
2Ease of operation
If parents read stories for children to increase parent-child interaction, then interactions become frequent, but the lack of variety in roles, tone, and sound makes the process boring
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple voice sources (preset characters, child's recorded voice, parent's recorded voice) into a single storytelling platform. This combination allows parents to maintain frequent interaction through simple operation while the system provides variety in roles and tones by seamlessly switching between different recorded and preset voices
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary voice recording actions where parents and children record their voices in advance. These pre-recorded voices are then available for use during storytelling sessions, allowing frequent parent-child interaction with varied roles and tones without requiring complex real-time processing during the actual storytelling
3Device complexity
If audio books are used for storytelling, then the process is simple, but they lack parent-child interactions and variety in presentation
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the voice source selection into distinct, manageable options: preset character voices, child's recorded voice, and parent's recorded voice. This segmentation maintains simplicity by presenting clear choices while enabling interactive variety through the combination of different voice types and roles
Data Source
AI summary
A sharing method for video and audio data presented in an interacting manner applies to story-telling. The story from a book or other source includes a plurality of preset sentences, each having a plurality of keywords and which correspond to a preset video frame. The keywords represent roles and non-roles, and each of the roles corresponds to an image. Voice sources of the roles of the story are set according to a user instruction. Audio data of storytelling is matched with the keywords of the preset sentences, wherein the audio data is acquired from the voice sources. A matched sentence is acquired from the preset sentences. The preset video frame corresponding to the matched sentence is selected and displayed for vividness of presentation.
