摘要： An interactive method and system to support and facilitate note-taking tasks in a variety of settings, primarily, though not exclusively, in real time. In one embodiment, the system user uses a stylus device and display to enter notes in the form of handwritten strokes that are stored and correlated with an address, such as a time provided by a system clock. Notes are collected in a data structure represented by a spatial region on the display called an address, or time, zone that is created when the user enters a gesture requesting an address from the system. All notes entered in a particular time zone region in the display area are stored in a portion of the data structure correlated with the time associated with that time zone region, and, while time zones are created in sequential time order, notes are may be entered in time zones in any sequence and still be correlated with that time zone. An additional feature provides for designating a portion of the user's notes as a key word, which can then be associated with other time zones to connect key words with times and notes. The strokes entered and designated as a key word are assigned a unique, system-recognizable identifier. A data structure stores the strokes of the key word, its location in the display area and the times zones it is associated with. A well-designed user interface provides workspaces for creating and using time zones and for easily displaying and using key words.

摘要： An interactive processor-controlled system for entering and storing user information about an event that is being concurrently recorded in real time correlates the user information to user-requested addresses, such as time values stored with the recorded signals. The system includes a recording device for producing signals indicating recorded event data that includes periodic addresses, each of which indicates a portion of the recorded signals. An address source, such as a clock, is connected for providing address values to both the processor and the recording device. Using a pen-based user interface in one embodiment of the system, the system user specifically requests an address value in order to correlate user information to the signals being concurrently recorded. In response to a request for an address, the system establishes a spatial region on the display, called a time zone, into which the system user may enter information, in the form of handwritten strokes, about the event. All information entered into a time zone is stored and correlated with the address value represented by the time zone, in effect creating a log of the recorded event that may be used to access the portions of the recorded signals. While time zones are created by the user in sequential time order, information can be entered in to time zones in any sequence, thereby facilitating editing and annotation of previously-entered information. The ability to correlate the recorded signals to keywords designated in the user-supplied information is also provided.

摘要： A user-interactive method for use in a processor controlled machine provides a user with the capability to retrieve and manipulate associations previously established among image segments in a single or in multiple data structures, where the image segments are stored as image data and not as recognized or interpreted information. The use of certain designated image segments, called key objects, for association with one or more other stored image segments in effect imposes a user-defined categorization structure on the image segments with which key objects are associated, producing groups of image segments associated with respective key object. The categorized information for a particular key object is retrievable and displayable with the key object image, also without performing a recognition operation, providing an indexing mechanism into the image data. Multiple groupings of categorized information may be presented in a tabular format, showing the relationship between key objects and image segments, and the tabular presentation may be used as a user interface for the post-creation manipulation and alteration of key object associations in order to further refine or extend the categorization structure. The invention is particularly useful in systems that provide for a stylus- or pen-based computing interface, since it provides a powerful mechanism for manipulating relationships that are semantically significant to a user between handwritten symbols represented as images without the need to perform a recognition operation on the images.

摘要： A user-interactive method for use in a processor-controlled machine provides a user with the capability to establish associations among image segments in a data structure that indicate visually-displayed but otherwise not recognized or interpreted information, for the purpose of retrieving the unrecognized data from the data structure without performing a recognition operation. A user selects and designates a visually recognizable, but computationally unrecognized, displayed image segment as a coherent display object, called a key object, to function as an indexing mechanism. The user then associates the key object with data objects, which may also be computationally unrecognized, that are stored in a target data structure. The key object can be used as an access mechanism to retrieve the target data without recognition of either the key object or the target data. For this reason the method is particularly useful in systems that provide for a stylus- or pen-based computing interface, since it provides a flexible and powerful information indexing capability while avoiding the need to perform generally error prone recognition operations on handwritten or other graphical symbols. A key object is assigned a unique identifier that is computationally distinguishable from other key object identifiers, and a key object-to-data association is established between the unique identifier and the target display object. A well-designed graphical user interface permits key objects to be easily created, associated with displayed information, and reused.

摘要： A processor controlled system for correlating an electronic index according to speaker for audio data being recorded in real time. The system includes a source of training data for each of the plurality of individual speakers and audio input system for providing real time audio data including speech for the individual speakers. The audio data is converted into spectral feature data by an audio processor, and is simultaneously recorded on a storage medium by a recording device. A system processor accepts the training data to create individual speaker models, which are combined in parallel to form a speaker network. The system processor then accepts the spectral feature data of the audio data and, using the speaker network, determines segments in the audio data corresponding to each speaker.

摘要： A method for segmenting audio data, comprising speech from a plurality of individual speakers, according to speaker is provided. The method comprises providing individual HMMs for each individual speaker, each individual HMM including at least one state, and constructing a speaker network HMM by connecting the individual HMMs in parallel. The audio data is then divided into segments by determining a most likely sequence of states through the speaker network HMM, each of the segments being associated with one of the individual HMMs. Afterward, the speaker of each of the segments is identified. The segmented data may be used to form an index into the audio data according to speaker.

摘要： A method for automatically constructing a database query for data assets associated with multimedia works. The database query is based on the context of a selected point of interest of a multimedia work. The point of interest is selected by a user interacting with the multimedia work and pausing the multimedia work at the point of interest. A database query is automatically constructed that is constrained by data that is associated with the point of interest. In addition, a list of attributes of the data that is associated with the point of interest is displayed to the user before the search is performed. The user has the option to further constrain the database search by selecting one or more attributes from the list of attributes. The user may also constrain the database search by adding keywords to a keyword entry field.
