Abstract

A method for synchronizing a number R greater than or equal to 1 of multimedia peripherals (6) of a portable communication device with an audio file (1), comprising the steps of extracting a number P greater than or equal to 1 of basic synchronization signals (SYNCi) according to a first set of parameters (20); generating, from said P basic synchronization signals, a number Q greater than or equal to 1 of synchronization command signals (COMk) according to a second set of parameters (30) 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 (PSYNCk) for controlling R peripheral drivers (5) driving said R multimedia peripherals (40), according to a third set of parameters (40).
