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 (32)

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;

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

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

mixing a play signal and the text voiced audio signal 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; and

corresponding a time stamp of the textual information to a time stamp of the text voiced audio signal, wherein the textual information is searched in real-time or non-real-time by a text retrieval to find a first sound signal corresponding to the time stamp for real-time or non-real-time recording and broadcasting, comprising at least one of wonderful editing, quick search after recording, and wonderful playback.

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 or a second sound signal.

4. 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 into the play signal with text voiced audio signal is achieved by mixing a third sound signal of the text voiced audio signal and the play signal.

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

generating the play signal by a playing source.

6. 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;

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

generating a text voiced audio signal after passing the sound information through a sound processing process, wherein the trigger signal generated by detecting a trigger element or an event analysis;

mixing a play signal and the text voiced audio signal 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; and

corresponding a time stamp of the textual information to a time stamp of the text voiced audio signal, wherein the textual information is searched in real-time or non-real-time by a text retrieval to find a sound signal corresponding to the time stamp for real-time or non-real-time recording and broadcasting, comprising at least one of wonderful editing, quick search after recording, and wonderful playback.

7. The signal transmission method for network video streaming of claim 6 , wherein step of generating a corresponding text voiced audio signal from a text voice database according to a trigger signal, comprising:

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

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

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

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

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

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

mixing a play signal and the text voiced audio signal 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; and

corresponding a time stamp of the textual information to a time stamp of the text voiced audio signal, wherein the textual information is searched in real-time or non-real-time by a text retrieval to find a first sound signal corresponding to the time stamp for real-time or non-real-time recording and broadcasting, comprising at least one of wonderful editing, quick search after recording, and wonderful playback.

9. The network streaming for an audio mixing method of claim 8 , wherein the network streaming connection is a network audio streaming connection or a network audio-visual streaming connection.

10. The network streaming for an audio mixing method of claim 8 , wherein the play signal comprises an image signal or a second sound signal.

11. The network streaming for an audio mixing method of claim 8 , wherein the trigger signal generated by detecting a trigger element or an event analysis.
