Abstract

An audio mixing method for network streaming includes the steps of establishing a network streaming connection between the first end and the second end, generating a text voiced audio signal based on a trigger signal by the first end, mixing a play signal and the text voiced audio signal into a play signal with the text voiced audio signal, in the state of the network streaming connection, transmitting the play signal with text voiced audio signal to the second end, and the play signal with text voiced audio signal is played by the second end.

Claims (39)

1. A signal transmission method for network video streaming, which is applied to a network video streaming unit that communicates with at least one first end and at least one second end, comprising:

establishing a network video streaming connection between the first end and the second end through the network video streaming unit, wherein the network video streaming connection is applied to a video conference or a live streaming;

generating a corresponding text voiced audio signal from a text voice database according to a trigger signal by the first end, wherein the trigger signal is determined by a user operating a trigger button or generated according to a specific event analysis;

mixing a play signal and the text voiced audio signal by the first end into a play signal with text voiced audio signal, wherein the play signal and the text voiced audio signal are outputted by a different source;

transmitting the play signal with text voiced audio signal to the second end through the network video streaming unit in the state of the network video streaming connection; and

playing the play signal with text voiced audio signal by the second end.

2. The signal transmission method for network video streaming of claim 1 , wherein the network video streaming connection is a network video conference connection when the network video streaming unit is a video conference unit, or the network video streaming is a webcasting connection when the network video streaming unit is a video live streaming unit.

3. The signal transmission method for network video streaming of claim 1 , wherein the play signal comprises an image signal and/or a sound signal.

4. The signal transmission method for network video streaming of claim 1 , wherein step of generating a corresponding text voiced audio signal from a text voice database according to a trigger signal by the first end, comprising:

finding out a sound information corresponding to a textual information from the text voice database through the first end according to the trigger signal; and

generating the text voiced audio signal after passing the sound information through a sound processing process.

5. The signal transmission method for network video streaming of claim 4 , further comprising:

transmitting the textual information to the second end from the first end in the state of the network video streaming connection.

6. The signal transmission method for network video streaming of claim 5 , further comprising:

a time stamp of the textual information transmitted to the second end corresponds to a time stamp of the text voiced audio signal.

7. The signal transmission method for network video streaming of claim 6 , wherein the user at the second end is searching for the textual information in real-time or non- real-time by text retrieval to find the sound signal corresponding to the time stamp for real-time or non-real-time recording and broadcasting, such as a wonderful editing, a quick search after recording, or a wonderful playback.

8. The signal transmission method for network video streaming of claim 1 , wherein the step of mixing the play signal and the text voiced audio signal by the first end into the play signal with text voiced audio signal is achieved by mixing a sound signal of the text voiced audio signal and the play signal through the first end.

9. The signal transmission method for network video streaming of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating the play signal by a playing source.

10. The signal transmission method for network video streaming of claim 1 , wherein the specific event is triggered by detecting that the play signal has a specific audio.

11. The signal transmission method for network video streaming of claim 1 , wherein the specific event is triggered when it is detected that the play signal has a specific video picture.

12. A network streaming for an audio mixing method, comprising:

establishing a network streaming connection between the first end and the second end, wherein the network streaming connection is applied to a video conference or a live streaming;

generating a corresponding text voiced audio signal from a text voice database according to a trigger signal by the first end, wherein the trigger signal is determined by a user operating a trigger button or generated according to a specific event analysis;

mixing a play signal and the text voiced audio signal by the first end into a play signal with text voiced audio signal, wherein the play signal and the text voiced audio signal are outputted by a different source;

transmitting the play signal with text voiced audio signal to the second end through the network video streaming unit in the state of the network streaming connection; and

playing the play signal with text voiced audio signal by the second end.

13. The network streaming for an audio mixing method of claim 12 , wherein the network streaming connection is a network audio streaming connection or a network audio- visual streaming connection.

14. The network streaming for an audio mixing method of claim 12 , wherein the play signal comprises an image signal and/or a sound signal.

15. The network streaming for an audio mixing method of claim 12 , wherein the step of generating a corresponding text voiced audio signal from a text voice database according to a trigger signal by the first end, comprising:

finding out a sound information corresponding to a textual information from the text voice database through the first end according to the trigger signal; and

generating the text voiced audio signal after passing the sound information through a sound processing process.

16. The network streaming for an audio mixing method of claim 15 , further comprising:

transmitting the textual information to the second end from the first end in the state of the network streaming connection.

17. The network streaming for an audio mixing method of claim 16 , further comprising:

a time stamp of the textual information transmitted to the second end corresponds to a time stamp of the text voiced audio signal.

18. The network streaming for an audio mixing method of claim 17 , wherein the user at the second end is searching for the textual information in real-time or non-real-time by text retrieval to find the sound signal corresponding to the time stamp for real-time or non-real- time recording and broadcasting, such as a wonderful editing, a quick search after recording, or a wonderful playback.

19. The network streaming for an audio mixing method of claim 12 , wherein the specific event is triggered by detecting that the play signal has a specific audio.

20. The network streaming for an audio mixing method of claim 12 , wherein the specific event is triggered when it is detected that the play signal has a specific video picture.
