Abstract

A method for method for producing audible speech files has the steps of transmitting a phonebook in a cell phone to a supported speech-playing device, converting the phonebook to text format data, uploading the text format data to a server, producing speech files based on the text format data with the server, transmitting the speech files to the speech-playing device, and broadcasting one of the speech files when an incoming call is detected.

Claims

1. A method for producing speech files comprising steps of:

transmitting a phonebook in a cell phone to a speech-playing device;

converting the phonebook to text format data;

uploading the text format data to a server;

producing speech files based on the text format data by the server;

transmitting the speech files to the speech-playing device; and

broadcasting one of the speech files when an incoming call is detected by the speech-playing device.

2. The method, as claimed in claim 1, the step of one speech file broadcasting further comprising:

determining whether or not the caller is recognizable by looking up the phonebook in the speech-playing device; and

broadcasting the speech file corresponding to the caller.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, the step of text format data uploading further comprising:

transmitting the text format data from the speech-playing device to the cell phone; and

transmitting the text format data from the cell phone to the server through a wireless communication system that comprises cellular base stations and a data exchange.

4. The method as claimed in claim 2, the step of text format data uploading further comprising:

transmitting the text format data from the speech-playing device to the cell phone; and

transmitting the text format data from the cell phone to the server through a wireless communication system that comprises cellular base stations and a data exchange.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, the step of text format data uploading further comprising:

transmitting the text format data from the speech-playing device to the server through Internet.

6. The method as claimed in claim 2, the step of text format data uploading further comprising:

transmitting the text format data from the speech-playing device to the server through Internet.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of the speech file broadcasting is to broadcast a name of the caller.

8. A method for producing speech files comprising steps of:

converting a phonebook in a cell phone to text format data;

transmitting the text format data to a server;

producing speech files based on the text format data by the server;

transmitting the speech files to the cell phone; and

broadcasting one of the speech files when an incoming call is detected by the cell phone.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8, the step of one speech file broadcasting further comprising:

determining whether or not the caller is recognizable by looking up the phonebook; and

broadcasting the speech file corresponding to the caller.

10. The method as claimed in claim 8, the step of text format data transmitting further comprising:

transmitting the text format data from the cell phone to the server through a wireless communication system that comprises cellular base stations and a data exchange.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9, the step of text format data transmitting further comprising:

transmitting the text format data from the cell phone to the server through a wireless communication system that comprises cellular base stations and a data exchange.

12. The method as claimed in claim 8, the step of text format data transmitting further comprising:

transmitting the text format data from the cell phone to the server through Internet.

13. The method as claimed in claim 9, the step of text format data transmitting further comprising:

transmitting the text format data from the cell phone to the server through Internet.

14. The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the step of the speech file broadcasting is to broadcast a name of the caller.
