Systems and methods for synthesis of motion for animation of virtual heads/characters via voice processing in portable devices

摘要

Systems and methods consistent with the innovations herein relate to communication using a virtual humanoid animated during call processing. According to one exemplary implementation, the animation may be performed using a system of recognition of spoken vowels for animation of the lips, which may also be associated with the recognition of DTMF tones for animation of head movements and facial features. The innovations herein may be generally implemented in portable devices such as PDAs, cell phones and Smart Phones that have access to mobile telephony.
