Method of processing a text, gesture, facial expression, and/or behavior description comprising a test of the authorization for using corresponding profiles for synthesis
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a method of processing a text, gesture, facial expression, and/or behavior description wherein the text, gesture, facial expression, and/or behavior description is synthesized by means of a speech, gesture, facial expression, and/or behavior profile, provided that an authorization code legitimizes the use of the speech, gesture, facial expression, and/or behavior profile for the synthesis.
1. A method carried out by a processor for processing text, hand gesture, facial expression, and behavior descriptions, wherein the processor is programmed to perform the method as a result of execution of program instructions, the method comprising acts of:
selecting, based on a first input from a user, a profile from a plurality of predetermined profiles, wherein each profile in the plurality of predetermined profiles is associated with a respective personality;
determining, based on a second input from the user, the text, hand gesture, facial expression, and behavior descriptions; and
synthesizing speech and at least one moving image using both:
the text, hand gesture, facial expression, and behavior descriptions determined based on the second input from the user, and
the profile selected based on the first input from the user, wherein the selected profile comprises information indicative of speech, hand gesture, facial expression, and behavior characteristics of the personality associated with the selected profile,
provided that an authorization code received from the user legitimizes use of the selected profile for the act of synthesizing, wherein the authorization code is associated with the selected profile, and wherein at least one description selected from a group consisting of the text, hand gesture, facial expression, and behavior descriptions is obtained by performing a recognition process on one or more picture signals based on the second input from the user.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the act of synthesizing is performed if a number of times for which the authorization code has already legitimized use of the selected profile for synthesis is smaller than a given first number.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the authorization code is encrypted and is deciphered in the method, wherein an asymmetrical cryptography method is used for encrypting and deciphering.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the act of synthesizing is performed if a number of times for which the authorization code has legitimized use of the selected profile for synthesis based on the text, hand gesture, facial expression, and behavior descriptions is smaller than a given second number.
5. A system for processing a text, hand gesture, facial expression, and behavior description, comprising:
a processing unit; and
at least one memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processing unit causes the processing unit to:
select, based on a first input from a user, a profile from a plurality of predetermined profiles, wherein each profile in the plurality of predetermined profiles is associated with a respective personality;
determine, based on a second input from the user, the text, hand gesture, facial expression, and behavior descriptions; and
synthesize speech and at least one moving image using both:
the text, hand gesture, facial expression, and behavior descriptions determined based on the second input from the user, and
the profile selected based on the first input from the user, wherein the selected profile comprises information indicative of speech, hand gesture, facial expression, and behavior characteristics of the personality associated with the selected profile,
provided that an authorization code received from the user legitimizes use of the selected profile for the act of synthesizing, wherein the authorization code is associated with the selected profile, and wherein at least one description selected from a group consisting of the text, hand gesture, facial expression, and behavior descriptions is obtained by performing a recognition process on one or more picture signals based on the second input from the user.
6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the act of synthesizing further comprises synthesizing text, and wherein the authorization code legitimizes synthesis of text that is shorter than a maximum text length.
7. The system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the processing unit is programmed to synthesize the speech and at least one moving image if a number of times for which the authorization code has already legitimized use of the selected profile for synthesis is smaller than a given first number.
8. The system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the processing unit is programmed to encrypt and decipher the authorization code, and wherein an asymmetrical cryptography method is used for encrypting and deciphering.
9. The system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the processing unit is further programmed to synthesize text, and wherein the authorization code legitimizes synthesis of text that is shorter than a maximum text length.
10. The system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the processing unit is programmed to synthesize the speech and at least one moving image if a number of times for which the authorization code has legitimized use of the selected profile for synthesis based on the text, hand gesture, facial expression, and behavior descriptions is smaller than a given second number.
