Description

Book Reading Service Server Using AI Celebrity Voices and Method to Control the Server The present invention relates to a book reading service server that generates the voices of celebrities using AI and enables books to be read aloud using the generated voices, and further relates to an online book reading service server using celebrity AI voices and a method for controlling the server, which aims to provide a celebrity AI voice book reading service platform that allows a user to have books read aloud in the voice of their favorite celebrity. AI (Artificial Intelligence) refers to technology that enables computers or machines to learn and solve problems by mimicking human intelligence. AI includes technologies such as machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing, which can analyze data and learn patterns to make predictions or solve problems, and are being utilized in various fields. Representative examples include smart home technology that controls and manages smart home devices, personalized recommendation systems that analyze users' viewing history on streaming services like Netflix or YouTube to recommend personalized content, and autonomous vehicles. In addition, algorithms are being utilized in various fields such as healthcare, customer service, finance, education, and smart cities. Recently, technologies using AI to generate or modulate the voices of celebrities have been utilized. This allows for the creation of the voices of various celebrities and famous people, and is being provided in various forms, such as allowing users to modulate their own voices into those of celebrities to participate in games or chats. Meanwhile, in recent years, due to advancements in communication and electronic technology, books are being produced in digital e-book format, and online e-book services are being provided that are easily accessible using portable devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. Various e-book narration services are provided here, such as playing the content of e-books with audio recorded by a voice actor or offering audio modulated to sound like a voice actor. However, with the rapid advancement of AI technology, the indiscriminate use of AI programs to generate and utilize celebrities' voices on online networks has sparked significant controversy and ultimately led to legal issues. Above all, the celebrities themselves are suffering not only psychological damage but also the reality that they are unable to receive copyright protection for their voices due to voice theft.
