Abstract

A system and method for customizing a communication media in the form of audio and/or video media, the method comprising providing the communication media with a pre-treated segment for receiving a message, acquiring the message, inserting the message within the pre-treated segment of the communication media and creating a customized communication media by mixing the message and communication media.

Claims

1. A method for customizing a communication media, the method comprising:

a. providing the communication media with a pre-treated segment for receiving a message;

b. acquiring the message;

c. inserting the message within the pre-treated segment of the communication media; and

d. creating a customized communication media by mixing the message and communication media.

2. A method in accordance with claim 1, further comprising:

e. storing the customized communication media in a database.

3. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein step a. includes the sub-steps of:

a1. displaying a list of available communication media with a pre-treated segment for receiving a message;

a2. prompting a user to select a listed communication media;

a3. providing the selected communication media.

4. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein step b. includes the sub-steps of:

b1. prompting a user to provide a message; and

b2. acquiring the message from the user.

5. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein step b. includes the sub-steps of:

b1. prompting a user to provide a message;

b2. providing the user with a message recording interface; and

b3. acquiring the message.

6. A method in accordance with claim 1, further comprising:

e. prompting a user to input information related to an intended recipient; and

f. proving the customized media to the intended recipient.

7. A method in accordance with claim 1, further comprising:

e. prompting a user to input payment information.

8. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the communication media includes a plurality of pre-treated segments and wherein a plurality of messages are acquired, each message corresponding to an associated pre-treated segment.

9. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the communication media is one of an audio media and a video media.

10. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the communication media is an audio media and the message is an audio message, the method further comprising the step of applying digital signal processing effects to the message before inserting the message into the pre-treated segment of the communication media.

11. A method in accordance with claim 10, wherein audio treatment parameters of the digital signal processing effects are selected in accordance with the communication media.

12. A method in accordance with claim 10, wherein audio treatment parameters of the digital signal processing effects are selected in accordance with the means of acquiring the message.

13. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the communication media is a video media and the message is a video message, the method further comprising the step of applying digital video filters to the message before inserting the message into the pre-treated segment of the communication media.

14. A method in accordance with claim 13, wherein video treatment parameters of the digital video filters are selected in accordance with the communication media.

15. A method in accordance with claim 13, wherein video treatment parameters of the digital video filters are selected in accordance with the means of acquiring the message.

16. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the communication media is an audio and video media and the message is an audio and video message, the method further comprising the step of applying digital signal processing effects to an audio portion of the message and applying digital video filters to a video portion of the message before inserting the message into the pre-treated segment of the communication media.

17. A method in accordance with claim 16, wherein audio treatment parameters of the digital signal processing effects and video treatment parameters of the digital video filters are selected in accordance with the communication media.

18. A method in accordance with claim 16, wherein audio treatment parameters of the digital signal processing effects and video treatment parameters of the digital video filters are selected in accordance with the means of acquiring the message.

19. A system for customizing a communication media, the system comprising:

a database containing at least one communication media with a pre-treated segment for receiving a message;

a user interface;

a recording interface;

a processor operatively connected to the database, the user interface and the recording interface, the processor being so configured so as to;

display through the user interface a list of the communication media in the database;

prompt a user through the user interface to select a listed communication media;

prompt the user to provide a message through the recording interface;

insert the message within the pre-treated segment of the selected communication media; and

create a customized communication media by mixing the message and the selected communication media.

20. A system in accordance with claim 19, wherein the communication media is an audio media and the message is an audio message, the processor being further configured so as to apply digital signal processing effects to the message before inserting the message into the pre-treated segment of the communication media.

21. A system in accordance with claim 20, wherein audio treatment parameters of the digital signal processing effects are selected in accordance with the selected communication media.

22. A system in accordance with claim 19, wherein the communication media is a video media and the message is a video message, the processor being further configured so as to apply digital video filters to the message before inserting the message into the pre-treated segment of the communication media.

23. A system in accordance with claim 22, wherein video treatment parameters of the digital video filters are selected in accordance with the selected communication media.

24. A system in accordance with claim 19, wherein the communication media is an audio and video media and the message is an audio and video message, the processor being further configured so as to apply digital signal processing effects to an audio portion of the message and applying digital video filters to a video portion of the message before inserting the message into the pre-treated segment of the communication media.

25. A system in accordance with claim 24, wherein audio treatment parameters of the digital signal processing effects and video treatment parameters of the digital video filters are selected in accordance with the selected communication media.
