The disclosure relates to a method for transmitting a message from a portable communication device to a separate terminal including a step of recording at the portable communication device a voice message, and a step of generating, at the portable communication device, a multimedia file including at least the voice message. According to the disclosure, the portable communication device transmits to the separate terminal a signal including the multimedia file and a specific flag for indicating that the voice message is to be displayed as a text message. Upon reception of the signal at the separate terminal, the voice message is extracted and specific flag is detected. Upon detection of the specific flag, speech-to-text conversion is performed at the separate terminal in order to transform the voice message into a text message to be displayed.

Method for transmitting a message from a portable communication device to a separate terminal and associated portable device and terminal

A method for synchronizing a number R greater than or equal to 1 of multimedia peripherals () of a portable communication device with an audio file (), comprising the steps of extracting a number P greater than or equal to 1 of basic synchronization signals (SYNC) according to a first sat of parameters (); generating, from said P basic synchronization signals, a number Q greater than or equal to 1 of synchronization command signals (COM) according to a second set of parameters () defining rules to convert basic synchronization signals into signals adapted to the type of peripheral to be synchronized; and selecting, among said Q synchronization commend signals, R synchronization signals (P) for controlling R peripheral drivers () driving said R multimedia peripherals (), according to a third set of parameters ().

A method for synchronizing a number R greater than or equal to 1 of multimedia peripherals () of a portable communication device with an audio file (), comprising the steps of extracting a number P greater than or equal to 1 of basic synchronization signals (SYNC) according to a first set of parameters (); generating, from said P basic synchronization signals, a number Q greater than or equal to 1 of synchronization command signals (COM) according to a second set of parameters () defining rules to convert basic synchronization signals into signals adapted to the type of peripheral to be synchronized; and selecting, among said Q synchronization command signals, R synchronization signals (P) for controlling R peripheral drivers () driving said R multimedia peripherals (), according to a third set of parameters ().

A method and device of synchronizing at least one multimedia peripheral of a portable communication device with a synthetic audio file include storing parameters in the portable communication device. The parameters include a list of preferred instruments. Information is read from the synthetic audio file. The information relates to an instrument corresponding to each track available in the synthetic audio file. A track is selected from among the tracks available in the synthetic audio file based on the list of preferred instruments. At least one synchronization signal is generated from the synthetic audio file using the selected track.

Method for synchronizing at least one multimedia peripheral of a portable communication device, and corresponding portable communication device

A method for synchronizing at least one multimedia peripheral of a portable communication device with a synthetic audio file (), which method comprises a step of generating at least one synchronization signal (S) from said synthetic audio file (). According to the invention, said method comprises an initialization step (A) consisting in memorizing, at said portable communication device, parameters () including at least a list of preferred instruments; and a generating step (A) comprising a step of analyzing (A) information read from said synthetic audio file () relating to each instrument for which a track can be extracted in said synthetic audio file (), and a step of deciding (A) which extracted track is to be used for generating said synchronization signal (S) as a function of said parameters. Said parameters () also include a predetermined frequency threshold, and said means for reading and analyzing are adapted to determine the frequency apparition of notes in said synthetic audio file for each extracted track.

A method for personalizing the working of a portable communication device () including the steps of an initialization step (A) during which multimedia content data files are stored (A) in a removable memory () of said portable communication device, and personalization parameters for controlling peripherals () of said device are set (A) with software links to at least some of said data files; and further including prior to removal of said removable memory (), a step (A) for creating a table including said software links, and a step (A) for copying, according to said table, said data files for which software links exist or at least a transformation of said data files, from said removable memory () to an internal memory () of said portable communication device.
