Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for transmitting text data stored in a database system via a mobile radio network to at least one subscriber device with a mobile radio receiving device, the text data being converted into speech information using speech synthesizer software and hardware.
  • the invention relates to a subscriber device for carrying out such a method, with a mobile radio receiving device to which a speech synthesizer unit is connected to a sound reproduction device in order to convert text data received from the mobile radio receiving device via a mobile radio network into spoken words.
  • the invention also relates to a system for managing text data and its transmission to subscribers, with a database system which has an interface to at least one text provider, a text data store and an interface to a mobile radio network, and with at least one subscriber device with a mobile radio receiving device , wherein one of the elements of the group consisting of database system and subscriber device has a speech synthesizer unit for converting the text data into speech information.
  • a disadvantage of these techniques is that the end customer is forced to perceive messages and other texts on mobile devices only at certain times and with little individual selectability. Improved selection and free time allocation is only possible through active retrieval of texts via the Internet and WAP, which is however the case with many mobile activities. ten, for example when driving a car, is not applicable. The end customer is also forced to actively select messages and texts from a wide range of different suppliers.
  • the invention is based on the object, a subscriber or end customer selected by him in advance messages or texts at the time when he his
  • Subscriber device activated to automatically perceive without further intervention on the part of the subscriber.
  • the texts are presented in the mobile area according to the perception of the participant - if desired.
  • the invention provides a method with the features of claim 1 and a system with the features of claim 13. Furthermore, the invention creates a particularly adapted subscriber device with the features of claim 12. Advantageous refinements and developments are described in the dependent current claims defined.
  • the respective text is automatically sent from the database system to the subscriber device when the corresponding subscriber device is active and there is a radio connection, and the speech data is converted into speech by speech synthesis so that the subscriber or end customer presented the text in the form of spoken words, ie "read aloud".
  • the speech data is converted into speech by speech synthesis so that the subscriber or end customer presented the text in the form of spoken words, ie "read aloud".
  • he is not restricted in his activities, for example when driving a motor vehicle, and he is read the information - and only that information - that he wishes to receive.
  • the conversion of the text data into spoken words is preferably carried out in the subscriber facility, since the transmission of the text data from the database system to the subscribers can then be carried out particularly easily using conventional standards or protocols.
  • the texts to be transmitted are selected in the database system according to parameters that are specified in advance by the respective participant or end customer, i.e. configured and stored in a configuration parameter file, preferably in association with a respective personal customer identification code, which is automatically sent by the subscriber device to the database system when the connection is established.
  • the text data coming from different text providers are fed into the database system.
  • This text data from the various text providers is then stored centrally in the database system and, depending on the configuration parameters and according to the wishes of the participants, is selected and automatically transmitted to the latter.
  • language or data technology format conversions of the text data and related data are carried out automatically in accordance with the respective text provider, the respective operator of the mobile radio network and the (respective) subscriber equipment.
  • components of the database system are distributed over several locations and, depending on the location of the subscriber device, one of several mobile radio networks is selected.
  • text data are selected and transmitted depending on the geographic position of the subscriber facility. Such a text transmission is useful, for example, if information (e.g. regarding weather, news, etc.) is to be conveyed about the respective geographic areas.
  • text data are selected and transmitted depending on the language, country and / or category defined in the configuration parameters.
  • the texts are normally transmitted without intervention on the part of the subscriber, but it can be advantageous, for example in the case of follow-up texts, if the processing of the text data is influenced at the subscriber device.
  • the text data are only transmitted once to a specific subscriber device.
  • Speech synthesizer unit can be combined with the mobile radio receiving device to form a uniform subscriber device.
  • the voice synthesizer unit could also be connected to the mobile radio receiving device via a wired interface, but also via a wireless interface.
  • the single drawing figure schematically illustrates a system for storing, processing and transmitting texts to participants in the manner of a block diagram.
  • the data is transferred in a standard format, e.g. in XML (XML-extensible Markup Language; standard for the exchange of machine-readable data). Text category and country are coded according to a common standard key.
  • the transmission of the text data 2 - illustrated schematically in the drawing with the connection 4 - takes place via a wireless or wired communication medium, such as e.g. over the internet.
  • the text data 2 are received by the central database system 3 via an interface 5, the format of the text data 2 - if necessary - being implemented via the interface 5.
  • the text data 2 are then stored in a memory module 6, in a partial area of the central database system 3.
  • the text 2 can be, for example, news, traffic reports, language courses or short stories or books.
  • the respective text 2 lies in the wording and the language in which it is to be handed over to the respective participant (end customer) 7.
  • Text identification code This is a code which enables each text 2 to be uniquely identified, and consists of a part for identifying text provider 1 and a part for identifying text 2 within the text of the respective text provider 1.
  • the text identification code consists, for example, of from numbers and letters.
  • - Text category For the selection of the texts 2 for the participants (end customers) 7, a higher-level text category scheme is preferably available. Categories in this scheme can e.g. "Football”, “Tennis”, “Chemical Industry”, “Finance”, “Frankfurt Stock Exchange”, “Fashion”, “Company News”, etc. Each text is assigned to exactly one category of this scheme.
  • Each text 2 is preferably provided with an expiry date. After this expiry date, text 2 is no longer transmitted to a subscriber (end customer) 7.
  • Texts 2 of high priority are identified with this indicator.
  • the indicator can be set or not.
  • the text identification code of another text 2 is optionally specified. Through the intervention of the subscriber (end customer) 7 on his subscriber device 8 (pressing a button or the like on a control device or input unit 9) during the reproduction of the text, the reproduction of the second text 2 defined by this text identification code is started.
  • - Country The code of the country for which text 2 is intended is optionally given (e.g. for messages). The code comes from a higher-level country code scheme.
  • the area can be specified in which the participant (end customer) 7 must be in order to receive the text 2.

  • the terminal 10 When the terminal 10 is in operation and a connection to the central database system 3 is possible, i.e. if a mobile communication device 12 is connected to the terminal 10 (wireless, for example via Bluetooth or IrDA, or wired via a cable) and the mobile radio network 11 is available, the terminal 10 sends the customer identification code (indicated in the drawing at 16) to the central database system 3.
  • Components of the database system 3 can be located at different locations. The terminal 10 tries to establish the cheapest connection to a component of the database system 3.
  • the terminal 10 can send the customer identification code one or more times, e.g. each time the terminal 10 is switched on, as soon as a connection via the (public) mobile radio network 11 is possible.
  • Interfaces 17 exist for the different operators of mobile radio networks and the different transmission standards used, which enable communication with the database system 3.
  • the mobile communication device 12 or generally the mobile radio receiving device is a technical (end) device for mobile data transmission via a mobile radio network, such as a mobile phone.
  • the mobile communication device 12 can also be integrated in the terminal 10 or combined with it to form a unitary device 8 '.
  • the configuration data 13 assigned to the customer identification code is called up in the central database system 3 on the basis of the customer identification code.
  • the central Database system 3 also stores that the identified subscriber or end customer 7 is "online", cf. also the schematically illustrated processor 18.
  • the corresponding texts 2 are selected by the processor 18 (which thus forms a selection unit), as is schematically indicated at 19.
  • Texts 2 correspond if their language corresponds to one of the languages defined in the end customer configuration 13, if their country corresponds to one of the countries defined for the end customer configuration 13, if their text category matches one of the text categories defined for the end customer configuration 13, if one applies to Text 2 specified area matches the area in which the terminal 10 is located and when its expiry date is in the future.
  • only those texts 2 are selected that have not yet been sent to the terminal 10 of the respective subscriber or end customer 7. For this purpose, a corresponding entry in the central database system 3 is queried by the processor 18.
  • the position in which the terminal 10 is located can be determined in particular in two ways. If the terminal 10 has a position detection system, e.g. GPS (Global Positioning System - global positioning system), the first time the customer identification code is transmitted from the terminal 10 to the central database system 3, the position, e.g. as latitude and longitude.
