Mobile Terminal Text-to-Speech via Cloud Audio Streaming
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile terminals face challenges in converting text to speech due to limitations in computing and processing capabilities, making it difficult to satisfy user demands for text-to-speech functionality.
Innovation Solution
A method where a mobile terminal sends a request to a cloud application platform with text information and start-processing position details, allowing the platform to obtain and transmit an audio stream for playback, enabling the mobile terminal to listen to text.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If text-to-speech conversion is performed on the mobile terminal itself, then the user can listen to text on the device, but the limited computing and processing capability of the mobile terminal makes it difficult to achieve satisfactory performance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cloud application platform as an intermediary between the mobile terminal and text-to-speech processing. The terminal sends text data to the cloud platform, which performs the complex speech synthesis and returns the audio stream. This mediator handles the computationally intensive task externally, resolving the contradiction between achieving reliable text-to-speech conversion and the terminal's limited processing capabilities.
2Speed
If text-to-speech processing is performed locally on the mobile terminal, then the response time may be faster, but the storage space and computing resources are insufficient to support the functionality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the text-to-speech processing function from the mobile terminal and relocates it to the cloud application platform. By taking out the speech synthesis engine and associated resources from the terminal, the system maintains fast response times through networked access while the terminal's limited storage space is preserved for other purposes.
3Productivity
If the mobile terminal processes text locally, then the system structure remains simple, but the processing capability is insufficient to meet user demands
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions the text-to-speech processing from a single-dimension local operation to a multi-dimensional distributed system involving the mobile terminal, network infrastructure, and cloud platform. This dimensional shift allows the system to achieve high processing capability by leveraging remote computational resources while keeping the terminal's local structure simple.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for a mobile terminal to process text, a related device, and a system. The text processing method for a mobile terminal includes: sending a request message, which carries text information and start-processing position information, to a cloud application platform, where the text information includes at least one of or any combination of text to be processed, an obtaining address of the text to be processed, and an identifier of the text to be processed; and when or after receiving a response message, which is returned by the cloud application platform, of the request message, receiving and playing an audio stream from the cloud application platform. The technical solutions provided in the present invention can satisfy a requirement of a user for “listening to” text on a mobile terminal.
