Abstract

A terminal may include a display that is divided into at least two areas, when a real time broadcasting, where a user of the terminal is a host, starts through a broadcasting channel, and of which one area of the at least two areas is allocated to the host; an input/output interface that receives a voice of the host; a communication interface that receives one item selected of at least one or more items and a certain text from a terminal of a certain guest, of at least one or more guests who entered the broadcasting channel; and a processor that generates a voice message converted from the certain text into the voice of the host or a voice of the certain guest.

Claims (60)

1. An operating method of a host terminal that provides a service for performing a real time broadcasting, the operating method comprising:

performing the real time broadcasting for guest terminals of a plurality of guests;

extracting voice characteristics of a certain user from a voice of the certain user;

generating a comparison voice based on the extracted voice characteristics;

comparing the voice of the certain user and the comparison voice, wherein comparing the voice of the certain user and the comparison voice comprises calculating an error of sampling values between the voice of the certain user and the comparison voice;

storing the voice characteristics depending on a result of the comparison;

obtaining a first text;

generating a first voice message converted from the first text into the voice of the certain user based on the stored voice characteristics of the certain user; and

transmitting the first voice message to the guest terminals at the real time broadcasting.

2. The operating method of claim 1 , wherein the certain user is a host of the host terminal and the first text is received from a first guest terminal of a first guest among the plurality of guests.

3. The operating method of claim 1 , wherein the certain user is a first guest, who transmits the first text, among the plurality of guests.

4. The operating method of claim 1 , wherein the certain user is a host of the host terminal and the first text is inputted by the host.

5. The operating method of claim 1 , wherein

storing the voice characteristics depending on the result of the comparison comprises storing the voice characteristics in response to the error of the sampling values not exceeding a standard value.

6. The operating method of claim 1 , wherein:

obtaining the first text comprises receiving the first text with at least one item from a first guest among the plurality of guests, and

the at least one item has commodity values within the service.

7. The operating method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an input for selecting at least one item to be transmitted to a first guest terminal of a first guest among the plurality of guests; and

transmitting the at least one item to the first guest terminal, wherein the at least one item has commodity values within the service.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, are configured to cause the processor to perform operations for performing a real time broadcasting, the operations comprising:

performing the real time broadcasting for guest terminals of a plurality of guests;

extracting voice characteristics of a certain user from a voice of the certain user;

generating a comparison voice based on the extracted voice characteristics;

comparing the voice of the certain user and the comparison voice, wherein comparing the voice of the certain user and the comparison voice comprises calculating an error of sampling values between the voice of the certain user and the comparison voice;

storing the voice characteristics depending on a result of the comparison;

obtaining a first text;

generating a first voice message converted from the first text into the voice of the certain user based on the stored voice characteristics of the certain user; and

transmitting the first voice message to the guest terminals at the real time broadcasting.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein:

the certain user is a host of the real time broadcasting; and

the first text is at least one of:

text received from a first guest terminal of a first guest among the plurality of guests; and

text input by the host.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the certain user is a first guest, who transmits the first text, among the plurality of guests.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein storing the voice characteristics depending on the result of the comparison comprises storing the voice characteristics in response to the error of the sampling values not exceeding a standard value.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein:

obtaining the first text comprises receiving the first text with at least one item from a first guest among the plurality of guests; and

the at least one item has commodity values.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving an input for selecting at least one item to be transmitted to a first guest terminal of a first guest among the plurality of guests; and

transmitting the at least one item to the first guest terminal, wherein the at least one item has commodity values.

14. A host terminal that provides a service for performing a real time broadcasting comprising:

a communication interface;

a processor; and

a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions for:

performing a real time broadcasting for guest terminals of a plurality of guests,

extracting voice characteristics of a certain user from a voice of the certain user;

generating a comparison voice based on the extracted voice characteristics;

comparing the voice of the certain user and the comparison voice, wherein comparing the voice of the certain user and the comparison voice comprises calculating an error of sampling values between the voice of the certain user and the comparison voice;

storing the voice characteristics depending on a result of the comparison;

obtaining a first text;

generating a first voice message converted from the first text into the voice of the certain user based on the stored voice characteristics of the certain user; and

transmitting the first voice message to the guest terminals at the real time broadcasting through the communication interface.

15. The host terminal of claim 14 , wherein the certain user is a host of the host terminal and the first text is received from a first guest terminal of a first guest among the plurality of guests through the communication interface.

16. The host terminal of claim 14 , wherein the certain user is a first guest, who transmits the first text, among the plurality of guests.

17. The host terminal of claim 14 , wherein the certain user is a host of the host terminal and the first text is inputted by the host thorough an input/output interface of the host terminal.

18. The host terminal of claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to store the voice characteristics in response to the error of the sampling values being not more than a standard value.

19. The host terminal of claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute instructions to receive the first text and at least one item from a first guest terminal of a first guest among the plurality of guests through the communication interface, wherein the at least one item has commodity values within the service.

20. The host terminal of claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute instructions to receive an input for selecting at least one item to be transmitted to a first guest terminal of a first guest among the plurality of guests through an input/output interface of the host terminal and transmit the at least one item to the first guest terminal through the communication interface, wherein the at least one item has commodity values within the service.
