Abstract

Disclosed is a system for providing a sound source information management service. The system for providing a sound source information management service manages sound source information transmitted from a driver terminal and extracts the sound source information corresponding to voice input data via voice recognition according to the voice input data transmitted from the driver terminal and provides the extracted sound source information to the driver terminal.

Claims

1. A driver terminal of a system for providing a sound source management service, the driver terminal comprising:

a sound source storage unit configured to store a sound source having sound source information;

a voice input unit configured to receive voice input data from a driver;

a wireless communication unit configured to transmit the voice input data to a management server and receiving a playlist corresponding to the voice input data from the management server;

a display unit configured to display the playlist transmitted to the wireless communication unit on a screen within the vehicle; and

a control unit configured to activate the voice input unit upon selection of a song selection mode by the driver, control the wireless communication unit to transmit the voice input data to the management server, and control the display unit to display the playlist transmitted through the wireless communication unit on the screen within the vehicle.

2. The driver terminal of claim 1, wherein the control unit transmits sound source information regarding each stored sound source to the management server when power is applied to the control unit.

3. The driver terminal of claim 1, wherein the control unit transmits the sound source information regarding the sound source to the management server when a compact disk (CD) is inserted into the driver terminal when the sound source is stored in the CD.

4. The driver terminal of claim 1, wherein the control unit transmits the sound source information related to the sound source to the management server when the portable storage device is connected with the driver terminal when the sound source is stored in the portable storage device.

5. The driver terminal of claim 1, wherein the sound source information includes at least one of a title of a song, a name of a signer, and an album release year.

6. A management server of a system for providing a sound source information management service, the management server comprising:

a storage unit configured to sound source information related to each sound source;

a wireless communication unit configured to receive, from a driver terminal voice input data, voice input data used to select a group of songs and transmit a playlist corresponding to the received voice input data to the driver terminal;

a voice recognition unit configured to interpret the voice input data transmitted to the wireless communication unit; and

a control unit configured to control the voice recognition unit to interpret the voice input data from the driver terminal, extract any corresponding sound source information from the storage unit based on results interpreted by the voice recognition unit to create a playlist, and control the wireless communication unit to transmit the created playlist to the driver terminal.

7. A management server of a system for providing a sound source information management service, the management server comprising:

a wireless communication unit configured to receive voice input data for selecting a sound source and a song from a driver terminal and transmit a playlist corresponding to the received voice input data to the driver terminal;

an interworking unit configured to access an external sound source sever to share a sound source database containing sound source information for sound sources on the management server;

a voice recognition unit configured to interpret the voice input data transmitted to the wireless communication unit;

a storage unit configured to store sound source information related a sound source transmitted to the wireless communication unit; and

a control unit configured to acquire the sound source information related to the sound source from the sound source database and store the acquired sound source information in the storage unit, control the voice recognition unit to interpret the voice input data transmitted from the driver terminal, extract the corresponding sound source information based on results interpreted by the voice recognition unit to create a playlist, and control the wireless communication unit to transmit the created playlist to the driver terminal.

8. A method for providing a sound source information management service in a driver terminal, the method comprising:

storing, by a sound source storage unit, a sound source having sound source information;

receiving, by a voice input unit, voice input data from a driver in response to a driver activating a song selection mode;

transmitting, by a wireless communication unit, the received voice input data from the driver to a management server; and

displaying, by a display unit, a playlist transmitted from the management server on a screen within the vehicle.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising transmitting sound source information related each stored sound source to the management server when power is applied.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the wireless communication unit transmits the sound source information regarding the sound source to the management server when a compact disk (CD) is inserted into the driver terminal when the sound source is stored in the CD.

11. The method of claim 8, further comprising transmitting, by the wireless communication unit, the sound source information related to the sound source to the management server when the portable storage device is connected with the driver terminal when the sound source is stored in the portable storage device.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the sound source information includes at least one of a title of a song, a name of a signer, and an album release year.

13. A method for providing a sound source information management service in a management server, the method comprising:

storing, by a storage unit, sound source information related to each sound source on the storage unit;

receiving, by a wireless communication unit, voice input data from a driver terminal;

interpreting, by a voice recognition unit, the received voice input data;

extracting, by a control unit, corresponding sound source information from each corresponding sound source based on results interpreted by the voice input data recognition unit to create a playlist; and

transmitting, by the wireless communication unit, the playlist to the driver terminal.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the sound source information includes at least one of a title of a song, a name of a signer, and an album release year.

15. A method for providing a sound source information management service in a management server, the method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless communication unit, a sound source from a driver terminal;

acquiring and storing, by a control unit, sound source information corresponding to the sound source from an external sound source database;

receiving, by the wireless communication unit, voice input data to the driver terminal;

interpreting, by a voice recognition unit, the voice input data;

extracting, by the control unit, corresponding sound source information from the storage unit based on results interpreted by the voice recognition unit to create a playlist; and

transmitting, by the wireless communication unit, the playlist to the driver terminal.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the sound source information includes at least one of a title of a song, a name of a signer, and an album release year.
