Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication technologies lack adaptability and flexibility in converting text information to audio, as they can only convert text to audio with specific voice characteristic parameters, limiting user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that obtain voice characteristic parameters from a second terminal based on identification information, allowing conversion of text information to audio with customizable voice characteristics, enhancing adaptability and flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If text information is converted to audio with fixed voice characteristic parameters, then the conversion process is simple, but the adaptability and flexibility of conversion are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-collecting and storing voice characteristic parameters (such as pitch, timbre, tone) of multiple users in a database before the text-to-voice conversion process. When a conversion request is received, the system retrieves the appropriate pre-stored parameters based on user identification, eliminating the need for real-time parameter analysis and significantly improving conversion flexibility without adding complex real-time processing
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a database as an intermediary component that stores the mapping relationship between user identification information and voice characteristic parameters. This intermediary layer decouples the conversion process from the parameter selection process, allowing the system to maintain simple conversion logic while achieving high adaptability through the intermediary database lookup
2Ease of operation
If text information is converted to audio with specific voice characteristic parameters, then the conversion process is straightforward, but the user experience is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically select appropriate voice characteristic parameters based on user identification information without requiring manual user input or configuration. The system autonomously queries the database using the user's ID and retrieves the corresponding voice parameters, making the conversion process both easy to operate and highly adaptable to different users
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically selecting different voice characteristic parameters (pitch, timbre, tone) based on the user's identification information. Instead of using fixed parameters, the system changes the parameters according to the retrieved user profile, thereby improving user experience while maintaining straightforward conversion operations
Data Source
AI summary
The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for converting text information. The method includes: receiving, by a first terminal, a call or data from a second terminal; obtaining, by the first terminal, according to a mapping relationship between identification information of the second terminal and voice characteristic parameters of an user of the second terminal, the voice characteristic parameters of the user of the second terminal corresponding to the identification information of the second terminal when the first terminal is in a working mode of text-to-voice conversion; and converting, by the first terminal, related text information about the call or data to audio information with the voice characteristic parameters of the user of the second terminal.
