NTRODUCTION:
YOYAP! ? is a mobile phone/handset software technology that enables the combination of Voice and lip synchronised Animation Visemes (visual). The result is a highly compelling, entertaining and seamless multi media output that is presented to the user in a number of optional audio-visual formats.
QUICK SUMMARY:
YOYAP! ? renders its functionality in 3 ways to the user:
Live Animation: - live voice call lip-synched animation;
Player: - client device record & playback; and
Movie Maker: - 3GP video encoder ? playback, Bluetooth or MMS relay
1. LIVE! ANIMATION
This feature allows the user to route incoming calls via the YOYAP! ? animation engine. The caller's voice is analysed and combined with an associated lip movement (viseme). The combination of this fast, repetitive voice analysis and visual presentation process is a seamless, real-time character animation of the voice stream.
In short, the incoming caller will appear as an animated character on the device.
2. PLAYER
This function allows the user to record voice files and then at any stage play these voice recordings through the YOYAP! ? animation engine using an interactive menu interface.
The player will animate the voice file initiated.
Multiple voice recordings can be saved and used at any point in either the YOYAP! ? Player or Movie Maker (refer to point 3 below)
3. MOVIE MAKER
Movie Maker is the most powerful of the YOYAP! ? features allowing a user to generate an animated video message with the user's voice and send this to a friend via MMS or Bluetooth.
The user is guided through a 5-step easy-to-use wizard process:
select/record voice file
animate creation
preview animation
generate video
send to friend (MMS or Bluetooth)
The created YOYAP! ? Movie Message will arrive at the recipient as a lip-synched video file (.3gp format) with the selected YOYAP! ? Character and the user's voice input!
The YOYAP! ? Movie file will play on any video enabled handset. The recipient does NOT need to have YOYAP! ? software installed.
SOFTWARE COMPONENTS:
The YOYAP! ? Application has 2 separate components:
1. YOYAP! ?; and
2. YOYAP! ? Characters
1.
YOYAP! ? is the application engine housing the intelligence of the end-product that appears as a visual animation on the mobile handset interface.
Handset Screenshot: YOYAP! ?
YOYAP! ? supports a number of 'YOYAP! ? Characters.' These are profiles, or Skins, that fit ?onto' the YOYAP! ? application engine to create a unique look & feel. This functionality presents endless options to ?re-skin' the solution front-end.
[Refer to the section below on 'YOYAP! ? Characters' for full detail on this feature]
Features:
animation and lip-sync of live streaming calls using a YOYAP! ? Character of choice resulting in the incoming caller appearing as a LIVE talking, animated character on the mobile device *
automated, random animation routines initiated during live calls
create animated movies using any voice input and YOYAP! ? Character then seamlessly send the YOYAP! ? Movie to another mobile user by MMS or Bluetooth
control the YOYAP! ? Character features while recording a movie or receiving a live call e.g. winking, blinking, eye rolling etc
download new YOYAP! ? Characters directly from a mobile handset over GPRS or 3G enabled networks
handsets loaded with YOYAP! ? are potential distribution/selling points. Users have the ability to share YOYAP! ? with friends (from handset to handset) via Bluetooth protocol and be rewarded for sharing the technology**
[Refer to the section below on OpenBit Peer-to-Peer Sharing for full detail on this feature]
* real-time live lip-sync is dependent on handset performance
** user reward system coming soon
2. Characters
Once YOYAP! ? is loaded to the mobile device, the user is able to load & collect additional ?YOYAP! ? Characters'
Each Character is generated integrating rich, visually compelling 3D-rendered graphics making animation almost life-like
