AUDIO CALLING METHOD AND DEVICE THEREOF

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[001 ] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No.

201310351463.8, filed on August 13, 2013, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

FIELD

[002] The present disclosure relates to information technology field, and more particularly to an audio calling method and a device thereof.

BACKGROUND

[003] Audio files are often called during the application process of some software. Conventionally, such an audio calling method for the software is executed as following: configuring a single audio file or a set of multiple audio files to a software logic (so-called sound trigger condition) which is needed to sound so as to correspond with it, and therein the software logics are various such as art dynamic frames, process trigger events, and the like.

[004] In such a way, the called audio files are corresponded to the software logics, and the audio files are individual. Thus the audio files must take up much storage space, and take up a great deal of memory during the calling process which reduces the program running efficiency.

SUMMARY

[005] The present disclosure provides an audio calling method and a device thereof, configured to reuse audio files, which can reduce storage space taken up by the audio files, and reduce the taken memory thereby improving program running efficiency.

[006] An audio calling method comprises: running a program process, if a sound trigger condition being satisfied then obtaining an audio file corresponding to the sound trigger condition, and obtaining modulating information corresponding to the sound trigger condition; modulating the audio file according to the modulating information; and playing the modulated audio file.

[007] An audio calling device includes a hardware processor and a non- transitory storage medium accessible to the processor. The non-transitory storage medium is configured to store units including: a trigger determination unit, configured to determine if a sound trigger condition being satisfied during a program process running; an obtaining unit, configured to obtain an audio file corresponding to the sound trigger condition, and obtaining modulating information corresponding to the sound trigger condition, when the sound trigger condition is satisfied; a modulation unit, configured to modulate the audio file according to the modulating information obtained by the obtaining unit; and a playing unit, configured to play the modulated audio file.

[008] The present disclosure calls the audio files and the modulating information as well, and then processes the audio files according to the modulating information, and finally plays them, thus the audio files can be reused in different scenes if different modulating information is configured. Because the data size for storing the modulating information is smaller than that for the audio files, the solution of the present disclosure can reuse the audio files with limited additional memory. Thus, the solution reduces the storage space taken up by the audio files, and reducing the memory which is to be taken up so as to improve program running efficiency.

[021 ] The solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure are clearly and completely described in combination with the attached drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part, but not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. On the basis of the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments acquired by those of ordinary skill in the art under the precondition that no creative efforts have been made shall be covered by the protective scope of the present disclosure.

[022] Other aspects, features, and advantages of this disclosure will become apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the embodiments described thereinafter merely a part of embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all embodiments. Persons skilled in the art can obtain all other embodiments without creative works, based on these embodiments, which pertains to the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[023] As shown in Fig. 1, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an audio calling method including the following steps:

[024] Step 101, running a program process, if a sound trigger condition being satisfied then obtaining an audio file corresponding to the sound trigger condition, and obtaining modulating information corresponding to the sound trigger condition.

[025] The sound trigger condition above namely is a software logic to be sounded, and such software logic is various such as art dynamic frame, process trigger event, and the like, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[026] The modulating information mentioned above is any parameter to be regulated to the audio files, such as volume control parameter, track control parameter, audio mixing control parameter, and the like. And persons skilled in the art can determine the detailed content of the modulating information according to the modulating demand, which is not limited here. For example, the parameter of the modulating information can be a or several fixed value(s), also can be a range; and a rule corresponding to the parameter when the parameter is several fixed values or a range will be described specifically thereinafter.

[027] Optionally, the embodiment provides a configuring solution of the modulating information is that, the method of obtaining modulating information corresponding to the sound trigger condition includes obtaining the modulating information configured synchronously in the sound trigger condition. It should be understood that, this solution can be achieved if only a corresponding relationship is existed between the sound trigger condition and modulating information, which can be associated with certain information so as to be captured by the device. By this token, the configuring solution described above is merely one preferable embodiment, but not the one.

[028] For example one of the sound trigger conditions can be art dynamic frames or a process trigger events, etc.. When the sound trigger condition is triggered, the amount of the audio to be called may be two or more sometimes, for example, an action of about-turn for a man in a game is happened with a breath sound and a friction sound of clothing accompanied. In view of it, the present disclosure provides solution as following: the method of obtaining the audio file corresponding to the sound trigger condition includes obtaining two or more audio files corresponding to the sound trigger condition.

[029] However, not only one sound effect may be presented when one audio file is triggered once. In view of it, to reduce the determination of the sound trigger condition and the times of capturing the modulating information, the present disclosure provides a quick capture method below: each audio file corresponding to the sound trigger condition has one or more modulating information accordingly.

[030] Step 102, modulating the audio file according to the modulating information.

[031 ] Furthermore, when the sound trigger condition is satisfied, one or more audio file(s) will be called in one time, and each piece of modulating information includes two or more pieces of modulating sub -information which are marked with individual valid period. Based on this processing method in a complex sound effect status, the present disclosure can show a complex and exquisite sound effect, which is applicable to scenes requiring high-quality sound effect. The solution is that:

[032] The method of modulating the audio file according to the modulating information includes modulating the audio file corresponding to the modulating sub- information according to time order of the sub-information in their valid periods.

[033] To obtain a complex sound effect, an optional embodiment is performed without a number of modulating information. If each piece of modulating information includes a range of a parameter of the modulating information and a modification rule to change the parameter, then method of modulating the audio file according to the modulating information includes modulating the audio file corresponding to the modulating sub-information, according to the parameter of the modulation

information and the modification rule.

[034] The modification rule may include rules that change the parameter according to the game scenario in which the audio file is played. For example, a modification rule may include a trigger condition when the audio file is played. In an action game, an audio file package corresponding to a specific action may include a few audio files that may be randomly selected when the player performs the action. When the player performs the action repeatedly, there is no need to play the ending portion of the audio file. In this case, the trigger condition may force the previously audio file to stop abruptly and completely.

[035] The audio file package may further include a second audio file that simulates the player shouting when the player performs the action. For example, the player may shout "Ah" when the player uses a sword to fight the enemy character, which may be randomly played if certain condition is met. Accordingly, the modification rule may include a mute condition that instructs the terminal device not to play the second audio file.

[036] The audio file package may include two types of audio files. The first type of audio files relates to an input from the player while the second type of audio files is not related to the input from the player. For example, the first type of audio files may relate to hitting, running, getting hit, receiving a punch, or other action performed or received by the player. The second types of audio files may relate to background music or other audio played in the background. Depending on the type of audio file, the modification rule may include a priority parameter that instructs the terminal device to extract the first type of audio files into the memory directly.

[037] Generally, the first type of audio files may require a timely response from the terminal device because the corresponding actions are time sensitive. The second type of audio files may allow some delay for the terminal device to respond because they are not time sensitive. Thus, the terminal device may extract the first type of audio files directly to the memory. The terminal device may stream the second type of audio files because the music and ambient sounds are usually played in the background and may be delayed without affect gaming experience. [038] Step 103, playing the modulated audio file.

[039] In the embodiment, the audio file and the modulating information are called, and the audio file will be played after processed according to the

[040] modulating information. Thus the audio files can be reused in different scenes if different modulating information is configured. Due to the data quantity of the modulating information are smaller than that of the audio files obviously, thus the solution of the present disclosure can reuse the audio files in a save condition, thereby reducing the storage space taken up by the audio files, and reducing the memory which is to be taken up so as to improve program running efficiency.

[041 ] The following embodiments are some examples that the present disclosure is used in game software. Generally, game software is served as audio application, which is software with high-quality audio and complex sound effect. However, it' s well known to persons skilled in the art that, the embodiments of the present disclosure are applicable to any software which is needed to call audio, but not to be limited to this game software.

[042] The solution of this embodiment is: binding the sound trigger condition together with modulating information accordingly; modulating the sound according to the modulating information when the sound achieves the trigger condition; and playing the modulated sound.

[043] As shown in Fig. 2, three levels are divided according to storage and usage of information or files. The first level is the storage level including audio files, modulating information and trigger conditions. The second level is the judgment and process logic for determining if the trigger condition is achieved and then modulating and playing the audio files. The third level accomplishes playing the modulated audio files.

[044] Following is an example that art graphics frame playing in the game software is served as the sound trigger condition so as to perform sound

synchronization playing. Assuming a graphics frame has three corresponding sound scripts (which have corresponding audio files and modulation parameters). The process is that, when the art graphics is played, three sound scripts bound to the first art graphics frame are triggered, and then regulating the sound effect of the sound to be played according to the modulating information.

[045] These three sound scripts can be the same audio file or the mapping of the audio file, or different audio files, so that the sound is not counted as a unit with a file or a called mapping, but a unit with a binding relationship. When the trigger condition is achieved to play, a temporary program is established, and then modulating information which is configured when binding is processed.

[046] If the three bound sound scripts pertain to the same audio file or a mapping of the audio file, the actual playing effect of this frame is depended on the effect modulated by the modulating information, by which the paying effects of the three sound scripts can be changed differently.

[047] By this token, only one audio file is needed in the embodiment, but three audio files are needed in the conventional method, thus the storage space taken up by the present disclosure is reduced to one third of that taken up by the conventional.

[048] The present disclosure also provides an audio calling device 300, as shown in Fig. 3. The device 300 includes a hardware processor 310 and a non-transitory storage medium 320 accessible to the hardware processor 310. The a non-transitory storage medium 320 is configured to store at least the following units:

[049] A trigger determination unit 301, configured to determine if a sound trigger condition is satisfied during a running program process.

[050] The sound trigger condition is a software logic to be sounded, and such software logic is various such as art dynamic frame, process trigger event, and the like, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[051 ] An obtaining unit 302, configured to obtain an audio file corresponding to the sound trigger condition, and obtaining modulating information corresponding to the sound trigger condition.

[052] The modulating information mentioned above can be any parameter to be regulated to the audio files, such as volume control parameter, track control parameter, audio mixing control parameter, and the like. And persons skilled in the art can determine the detailed content of the modulating information according to the modulating demand, which is not limited here. For example, the parameter of the modulating information can be a or several fixed value(s), also can be a range; and a rule corresponding to the parameter when the parameter is several fixed values or a range will be described specifically thereinafter.

[053] A modulation unit 303, configured to modulate and processing the audio file according to the modulating information obtained by the obtaining unit 302.

[054] A playing unit 304, configured to play the modulated audio file and processed by the modulation unit 303.

[055] Optionally, the embodiment provides a configuring solution of the modulating information is that, the obtaining unit 302 is configured to obtain the modulating information configured synchronously in the sound trigger condition.

[056] It should be understood that, this solution can be achieved if only a corresponding relationship is existed between the sound trigger condition and modulating information, which can be associated with certain information so as to be captured by the device. By this token, the configuring solution described above merely is one preferable embodiment, but not the one.

[057] For example one of the sound trigger conditions can be art dynamic frames or a process trigger events, etc.. When the sound trigger condition is triggered, the amount of the audio to be called may be two or more sometimes, for example, an action of about-turn for a man in a game is happened with a breath sound and a friction sound of clothing accompanied. In view of it, the present disclosure provides solution as following: the obtaining unit 302 is used for obtaining two or more audio files corresponding to the sound trigger condition.

[058] However, not only one sound effect will be presented when one audio file is triggered once. In view of it, to reduce the determination of the sound trigger condition and the times of capturing the modulating information, the present disclosure provides a quick capture manner below: the obtaining unit 302 is further used for obtaining one or more modulating information corresponded to each audio file which is corresponding to the sound trigger condition.

[059] Furthermore, when the sound trigger condition is satisfied, one or more audio file(s) will be called in one time, and each piece of modulating information obtained by the obtaining unit 302 includes two or more pieces of modulating sub- information which are marked with individual valid period. Based on this processing method in a complex sound effect status, the present disclosure can show a complex and exquisite sound effect, which is applicable to scenes requiring high-quality sound effect. The solution is that:

[060] The modulation unit 303 is used for modulating the audio file

corresponding to the modulating sub-information according to time order of the sub- information in their valid periods.

[061 ] To obtain a complex sound effect, an optional embodiment is performed without a number of modulating information. If each piece of modulating information includes a range of a parameter of the modulating information and a modification rule to change the parameter, then the modulation unit 303 is configured to modulate and processing the audio file corresponding to the modulating sub-information, according to the parameter of the modulation information and the modification rule.

[062] The present disclosure also provides an audio calling device according to another embodiment, as shown in Fig. 4. To simplify the expatiation, only some relevant portions associated with the present embodiment are illustrated, other details un-displayed can be reviewed in the method described above. For example the device may be any terminal device such as a mobile phone, a Tablet PC, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a POS (Point of Sales), a car PC, or any computing device having a processor. Following is an example of a mobile phone.

[063] Fig. 4 is a block diagram of a partial device related to a mobile phone. For example the mobile phone includes a radio frequency (RF) circuit 410, a memory 420, an input unit 430, a display unit 440, a sensor 450, an audio circuit 460, a wireless fidelity (WiFi) module 470, a processor 480, and a power 490, etc.. It's understood for persons skilled in the art that, the structure of a mobile phone illustrated in Fig. 4 is not limited, some components can be added or omitted, or some combinations or arrangement can be included.

[064] Following is a detailed description of the structure of the mobile phone by combining with Fig. 4.

[065] The RF circuit 410 is configured to receive and sending signals during calling or process of receiving and sending message. Specially, the RF circuit 410 will receive downlink information from the base station and send it to the processor 480; or send uplink data to the base station. Generally, the RF circuit 410 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low noise amplifier (LNA), a diplexer, and the like. In addition, the RF circuit 40 can

communicate with network or other devices by wireless communication. Such wireless communication can use any one communication standard or protocol, which includes, but is not limited to, Global System of Mobile communication (GSM), (General Packet Radio Service, GPRS), (Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA), (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA), (Long Term Evolution, LTE), email, or (Short Messaging Service, SMS).

[066] The memory 420 is configured to store software program and module which will be run by the processor 480, so as to perform multiple functional applications of the mobile phone and data processing. The memory 430 mainly includes storing program area and storing data area. Concretely, the storing program area can store the operating system, at least one application program with required function (such as sound playing function, image playing function, etc.). The storing data area can store data established by mobile phone according to actual using demand (such as audio data, phonebook, etc.) Furthermore, the memory 420 can be high-speed random access memory, or nonvolatile memory, such as disk storage, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state memory storage devices.

[067] The input unit 430 is configured to receive the entered number or character information, and the entered key signal related to user setting and function control of the mobile phone 400. Concretely, the input unit 430 includes a touch panel 431 or other input devices 432. The touch panel 431 is called as touch screen, which can collect user's touch operations thereon or nearby (for example the operations generated by fingers of user or stylus pen, and the like, touching on the touch panel 431 or touching near the touch panel 431), and drive the corresponding connection device according to the preset program. Optionally, the touch panel 431 includes two portions including a touch detection device and a touch controller. For example the touch detection device is configured to detect touch position of the user and detecting signals accordingly, and then sending the signals to the touch controller. Subsequently, the touch controller receives touch information from the touch detection device, and converts it to contact coordinates which are to be sent to the processor 480, and then receives command sent by the processor 480 to perform. In addition, besides the touch panel 431, the input unit 430 can include, but is not limited to, other input devices 432, such as one or more selected from physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control keys, switch key-press, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, and an operating lever, etc..

[068] The display unit 440 is configured to display information entered by the user or information supplied to the user, and menus of the mobile phone. For example, the display unit 440 includes a display panel 441, such as a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), or an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED). Furthermore, the display panel 441 can be covered by the touch panel 431, after touch operations are detected on or near the touch panel 431, they will be sent to the processor 480 to determine the type of the touching event. Subsequently, the processor 480 supplies the corresponding visual output to the display panel 441 according to the type of the touching event. As shown in Fig. 4, the touch panel 431 and the display panel 441 are two individual components to implement input and output of the mobile phone, but they can be integrated together to implement the input and output in some embodiments.

[069] Furthermore, the mobile phone 400 includes at least one sensor 450, such as light sensors, motion sensors, or other sensors. For example the light sensors includes ambient light sensors for adjusting brightness of the display panel 441 according to the ambient light, and proximity sensors for turning off the display panel 441 and/or maintaining backlight when the mobile phone is moved to the ear side. Accelerometer sensor as one of the motion sensors can detect the magnitude of accelerations in every direction (Triaxial, generally), and detect the magnitude and direction of gravity in an immobile status, which is applicable to applications of identifying attitudes of the mobile (such as switching between horizontal and vertical screens, related games, magnetometer attitude calibration, etc.), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, percussion, etc.). And the mobile phone 400 also can configure other sensors (such as gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, infrared sensors, etc.) whose detailed descriptions are omitted here. [070] The audio circuit 460, the speaker 461 and the microphone 462 supply an audio interface between the user and the mobile phone. For example the audio data is received and converted to electrical signals by audio circuit 460, and then transmitted to the speaker 461, which are converted to sound signal to output. On the other hand, the sound signal collected by the speaker is then converted to electrical signals which will be received and converted to audio data. Subsequently, the audio data are output to the processor 480 to process, and then sent to another mobile phone via the RF circuit 410, or sent to the memory 420 to process further.

[071 ] WiFi pertains to short-range wireless transmission technology providing a wireless broadband Internet, by which the mobile phone can help the user to receive and send email, browse web, and access streaming media, etc.. Although the WiFi module 470 is illustrated in Fig. 4, it should be understood that, WiFi module 470 is not a necessary for the mobile phone, which can be omitted according the actual demand without changing the essence of the present disclosure.

[072] The processor 480 is a control center of the mobile phone, which connects with every part of the mobile phone by various interfaces or circuits, and performs various functions and processes data by running or performing software

program/module stored in the memory 420 or calling data stored in the memory 420, so as to monitor the mobile phone. Optionally, the processor 480 may include one or more processing units. Preferably, the processor 480 can integrate with application processors and modem processors, for example, the application processors include processing operating system, user interface and applications, etc.; the modern processors are used for performing wireless communication. It can be understood that, it's an option to integrate the modern processors to the processor 480.

[073] Furthermore, the mobile phone 400 may include a power supply (such as battery) supplying power for each component, preferably, the power supply can connect with the processor 480 by power management system, so as to manage charging, discharging and power consuming.

[074] In addition, the mobile phone 400 may include a camera, and a Bluetooth module, etc., which are not illustrated. [075] In this embodiment, the processor 480 in the terminal includes the following functions.

[076] Running the program process, if a sound trigger condition is satisfied, then obtaining an audio file corresponding to the sound trigger condition, and obtaining modulating information corresponding to the sound trigger condition; modulating the audio file according to the modulating information; and playing the modulated audio file.

[077] The sound trigger condition above namely is a software logic to be sounded, and such software logic is various such as art dynamic frame, process trigger event, and the like, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[078] The modulating information mentioned above is any parameter to be regulated to the audio files, such as volume control parameter, track control parameter, audio mixing control parameter, and the like. And persons skilled in the art can determine the detailed content of the modulating information according to the modulating demand, which is not limited here. For example, the parameter of the modulating information can be a or several fixed value(s), also can be a range; and a rule corresponding to the parameter when the parameter is several fixed values or a range will be described specifically thereinafter.

[079] In such a way, since the present disclosure calls the audio files and the modulating information as well, then processes the audio files according to the modulating information, and finally plays them, thus the audio files can be reused in different scenes if different modulating information is configured. Due to the data quantity of the modulating information are smaller than that of the audio files obviously, thus the solution of the present disclosure can reuse the audio files in a save condition, thereby reducing the storage space taken up by the audio files, and reducing the memory which is to be taken up so as to improve program running efficiency.

[080] Optionally, the embodiment provides a configuring solution of the modulating information is that, the processor 480 is further configured to obtain the modulating information configured synchronously in the sound trigger condition. It should be understood that, this solution can be achieved if only a corresponding relationship is existed between the sound trigger condition and modulating information, which can be associated with certain information so as to be captured by the device. By this token, the configuring solution described above namely is one preferable embodiment, but not the one.

[081 ] For example one of the sound trigger conditions can be art dynamic frame or a process trigger event, etc.. When the sound trigger condition is triggered, the amount of the audio to be called may be two or more sometimes, for example, an action of about-turn for a man in a game is happened with a breath sound and a friction sound of clothing accompanied. In view of it, the present disclosure provides solution as following: the processor 480 is concretely configured to obtain two or more audio files corresponding to the sound trigger condition.

[082] However, not only one sound effect may be presented when one audio file is triggered once. In view of it, to reduce the determination of the sound trigger condition and the times of capturing the modulating information, the present disclosure provides a quick capture manner below: the processor 480 is configured to obtain one or more modulating information corresponding to each audio file which is corresponding to the sound trigger condition.

[083] Furthermore, when the sound trigger condition is satisfied, one or more audio file(s) will be called in one time, and each piece of modulating information includes two or more pieces of modulating sub -information which are marked with individual valid period. Based on this processing method in a complex sound effect status, the present disclosure can show a complex and exquisite sound effect, which is applicable to scenes requiring high-quality sound effect. The solution is that:

[084] The processor 480 is further configured to modulate the audio file corresponding to the modulating sub-information according to time order of the sub- information in their valid periods.

[085] To obtain a complex sound effect, an optional embodiment is performed without a number of modulating information. If each piece of modulating information includes a range of a parameter of the modulating information and a modification rule to change the parameter, then the processor 480 is configured to modulate the audio file corresponding to the modulating sub-information, according to the parameter of the modulation information and the modification rule.

[086] It should be noticed that, the device in the embodiment mentioned above divides into multiple units according to function logic, which is not limited however, and it is viable if only the corresponding functions can be performed.
