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.
