Mobile communication terminal and method for converting voice message to text message
First Claim
1. A mobile communication terminal for performing a voice-text message conversion process comprising:
- a memory for storing condition information for determining when the voice-text message conversion process occurs and selecting a specific voice message among received and stored voice messages which is a target of the voice-text message conversion, said memory including a voice message area for storing voice messages and a text message area for storing text messages;
a voice data detecting unit for extracting a voice signal from the specific voice message;
a voice-text converting unit for converting the voice signal to a text message;
a controlling unit for determining whether voice-text message conversion is required for the received and stored voice messages, and selecting the specific voice message, based on the condition information, and storing the text message converted by the voice-text converting unit in the text message area,wherein whether the voice-text message conversion is required is determined by comparing a total size of the voice messages with a threshold set in the condition information;
selecting a voice message having a highest priority for voice-text message conversion from among the voice messages, based on selection reference information set in the condition information, if the total size of the voice messages is larger than the threshold;
checking whether the voice message having the highest priority is locked for protection; and
selecting the voice message having the highest priority for voice-text message conversion if the voice message is not locked, and selecting an other voice message having a second highest priority as a new highest priority if the voice message is locked.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is mobile communication terminal for performing a voice-text message conversion process that includes a memory, a voice data detecting unit, a voice-text converting unit, and a controlling unit. The memory stores condition information for the voice-text message conversion process. The memory includes a voice message area for storing voice messages and a text message area for storing text messages. The voice data detecting unit extracts a voice signal from a specific voice message. The voice-text converting unit converts the voice signal to a text message. The controlling unit determines whether the voice-text message conversion process is required for the specific message, based on the condition information, and stores the text message converted by the voice data detecting unit and the voice-text converting unit in the text message area.
