Abstract

A situation command system including a multimedia apparatus and a server is provided. The multimedia device and the server are connected via a network system. The multimedia apparatus, including a microprocessor, a memory device, a multimedia file input device, a network interface, an audio/video body-sensing input device, an audio/video body-sensing output device and a control device, presents a multimedia effect of a file to a user. The server, including a central processing system, a storage system, a communication system and a recognition system, accesses the file and determines whether the file satisfies a trigger condition to selectively output a special effect. When the file satisfies the trigger condition, the multimedia apparatus further superimposes the special effect to the file and presents the file together with the special effect to the user to provide a situation simulation effect.

Claims

1. A situation command system, comprising a multimedia apparatus and a server, the multimedia apparatus being connected to the server via a network system;

wherein, the multimedia apparatus comprises;

a microprocessor;

a memory device, connected to the microprocessor, for storing a file;

a multimedia file input device, connected to the microprocessor and the memory device, for allowing a user to input a file and transmitting the file to the memory device for storage;

a network interface, connected to the microprocessor and the multimedia file input device, for connecting to the network system, inputting the file to the multimedia apparatus via the network system, and outputting the file for the server to access;

an audio/video body-sensing input device, connected to the microprocessor, for detecting an image, a sound and an action;

an audio/video body-sensing output device, connected to the microprocessor, for representing a video, audio and body-sensing effect; and

a control device, connected to the microprocessor, for inputting an operation command to the microprocessor; and

the server comprises;

a central processing system;

a storage system, connected to the central processing system, for storing at least one trigger condition and at least one special effect;

a communication system, connected to the central processing system and the storage system, for connecting to the network system, accessing the file via the network system and outputting the at least one special effect stored in the storage system; and

a recognition system, connected to the central processing system, the storage system and the communication system, for determining whether content of the accessed file satisfies the at least one trigger condition.

2. The situation command system according to claim 1, wherein the multimedia apparatus is a network television, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, an electronic game console, or a portable audio/video playback apparatus.

3. The situation command system according to claim 1, wherein the multimedia file input device is an optical disc drive, a floppy disc drive, a USB portable disc, a keyboard or a mouse.

4. The situation command system according to claim 1, wherein the audio/video body-sensing input device is a video camera, a digital camera, a microphone or a body-sensing detector.

5. The situation command system according to claim 1, wherein the audio/video output device is a speaker, a monitor, a projector, a force-feedback joystick or a vibration handle.

6. The situation command system according to claim 1, wherein the central processing system comprises:

an identification module, connected to the storage system and the communication system, for determining a logged user identification.

7. The situation command system according to claim 1, wherein the recognition system comprises:

a recognition controller, connected to the central processing system, the storage system and communication system, for controlling operations of the recognition system;

a text recognition module, connected to the recognition controller, for recognizing a text in the file;

an audio recognition module, connected to the recognition controller, for recognizing a pronunciation, a tone, a rhythm, a sound volume and a timbre in the file;

a video recognition module, connected to the recognition controller, for recognizing a color, a brightness and a graphic in the file; and

a body-sensing recognition module, connected to the recognition controller, for recognizing a gesture and an action in the file.

8. The situation command system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one trigger condition is a predetermined word, a predetermined pronunciation, a predetermined tone, a predetermined rhythm, a predetermined sound volume, a predetermined timbre, a predetermined color, a predetermined brightness, a predetermined graphic, a predetermined gesture, and/or a predetermined action and the combination thereof.

9. The situation command system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one special effect is a predetermined visual effect, a predetermined audio effect, and/or a predetermined touch effect and the combination thereof.

10. An operating method of a situation command system, comprising:

a) connecting to server;

b) logging by a multimedia apparatus into a server for identification verification;

c) accessing by the server a file outputted from the multimedia apparatus;

d) comparing whether content of the file satisfies customized at least one trigger condition;

e) outputting triggered customized at least one special effect; and

f) presenting an actual effect of the triggered customized at least one special effect.

11. The operating method according to claim 10, wherein step (d) determines whether the at least one trigger condition is satisfied according to an exact match and/or a partial match.

12. The operating method according to claim 10, wherein the at least one trigger condition in step (d) is a predetermined word, a predetermined pronunciation, a predetermined tone, a predetermined rhythm, a predetermined sound volume, a predetermined timbre, a predetermined color, a predetermined brightness, a predetermined graphic, a predetermined gesture, and/or a predetermined action and the combination thereof.

15. An operating method of a situation command system, comprising:

a) connecting to server;

c) accessing by the server a file outputted from the multimedia apparatus;

d1) comparing whether content of the file satisfies predetermined at least one trigger condition;

e1) outputting triggered predetermined at least one special effect; and

f1) presenting an actual effect of the triggered predetermined at least one special effect.

16. The operating method according to claim 15, wherein step (d1) determines whether the at least one trigger condition is satisfied according to an exact match and/or a partial match.

17. The operating method according to claim 15, wherein the at least one trigger condition in step (d1) is a predetermined word, a predetermined pronunciation, a predetermined tone, a predetermined rhythm, a predetermined sound volume, a predetermined timbre, a predetermined color, a predetermined brightness, a predetermined graphic, a predetermined gesture, and/or a predetermined action and the combination thereof.
