Sony patents system to match text phrases with suitable motions
Sony has filed a patent for a computer program that automatically selects a motion to accompany a specific text phrase. The system works by comparing the characteristics of the input text against a library of pre-matched phrases and motions, then choosing the most similar motion based on that comparison.
In the filing’s own words
To make selection of motion suitable for text data efficient. A program causes a computer to function as: an acquisition unit that acquires a first feature amount calculated from first text data indicating an input first phrase; and a motion selection unit that selects, on the basis of a similarity between the first feature amount and a second feature amount that is a feature amount calculated from second text data indicating a second phrase associated with motion, at least one kind of motion from motion associated with each of a plurality of the second feature amounts as motion corresponding to the first feature amount.
