    摘要: The most likely to be used characters and controls of a soft keyboard are determined from consulting trigram tables, and enhanced and/or positioned to attract the user and to facilitate quick recognition and selection. The letters and other characters of the soft keyboard display can be arranged in a standard keyboard format, some variation of that format such as a Dvorak layout or an entirely different arrangement such as strings of letters and numbers in alphabetical and numerical order. However, regardless of the layout, an attractant, such as color intensity, or size, is used for emphasis to make a soft keyboard user cognizant of the location of the subset of characters that the user is most likely to select to standout from the other keys of the keyboard. In addition to enhancing all characters of the subset, particular emphasis can be placed on the most likely character in the subset to be selected. Where the most likely character is a letter, duplicates of other letters of the subset, symbols identifying control functions for selection, and probable multiletter combinations, including full words and word endings, can be clustered around that most likely to be selected letter to facilitate quick selection.

    摘要: A method for managing spoken language interface data structures and collections of user interface service engines in a spoken language dialog manager in a personal speech assistant. Interfaces, designed as part of applications, may by these methods be added to or removed from the set of such interfaces used by a dialog manager. Interface service engines, required by new applications, but not already present in the dialog manager, may be made available to the new and subsequently added applications.

    摘要: A speaker recognition system for selectively permitting access by a requesting speaker to one of a service and facility include an acoustic front-end for computing at least one feature vector from a speech utterance provided by the requesting speaker; a speaker dependent codebook store for pre-storing sets of acoustic features, in the form of codebooks, respectively corresponding to a pool of previously enrolled speakers; a speaker identifier/verifier module operatively coupled to the acoustic front-end, wherein: the speaker identifier/verifier module identifies, from identifying indicia provided by the requesting speaker, a previously enrolled speaker as a claimed speaker; further, the speaker identifier/verifier module associates, with the claimed speaker, first and second groups of previously enrolled speakers, the first group being defined as speakers whose codebooks are respectively acoustically similar to the claimed speaker (i.e., cohort set) and the second group being defined as speakers whose codebooks are acoustically similar to the claimed speaker but not as acoustically similar as the codebooks of the speakers in the first group (i.e., legion set); and still further, the speaker identifier/verifier module verifies the requesting speaker by comparing the at least one feature vector of the requesting speaker to the codebooks of the previously enrolled speakers in the second group and, in response to such comparison, generates an indicator indicating that the requesting speaker is one of verified and not verified for access to one of the service and facility.

    摘要: An array of collimated wise aperture electrically pumped leaky corrugated AlGaAs optical waveguide lasers is formed on a single chip by etching a series of grooves oriented with respect to the crystalographic planes to isolate discrete lasers in the array and provide the requisite orientation of the internal reflecting surfaces to support the lasing action. The corrugation period is chosen such that the laser radiation exits from the array in a direction normal to the plane of waveguide.

    摘要: A Personal Speech Assistant (PSA) is a computing apparatus which provides a spoken language interface to another apparatus to which it is attached by supporting execution of a conversational dialog manager and its supporting service engines. In operation, a PSA is connected to a device which provides some service to a user. Any “appliance” is a candidate for enhancement with the PSA. Devices such as, for example, video cassette recorders (VCRs) or Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), which offer rich, but frequently difficult interfaces, may be made more useful by the integration of a PSA according to the invention. It is a preferred feature of a dialog manager used by the PSA that the user interface properties, in terms of the vocabulary the device understands, the informative prompts it provides, and other aspects of its conversational behavior, are all easily modified to correspond to the preferences or limitations of the user.

    摘要: A spoken language interface between a user and at least one application or system includes a dialog manager operatively coupled to the application or system, an audio input system, an audio output system, a speech decoding engine and a speech synthesizing engine; and at least one user interface data set operatively coupled to the dialog manager, the user interface data set representing spoken language interface elements and data recognizable by the application. The dialog manager enables connection between the input audio system and the speech decoding engine such that a spoken utterance provided by the user is provided from the input audio system to the speech decoding engine. The speech decoding engine decodes the spoken utterance to generate a decoded output which is returned to the dialog manager. The dialog manager uses the decoded output to search the user interface data set for a corresponding spoken language interface element and data which is returned to the dialog manager when found, and provides the spoken language interface element associated data to the application for processing in accordance therewith. The application, on processing that element, provides a reference to an interface element to be spoken. The dialog manager enables connection between the audio output system and the speech synthesizing engine such that the speech synthesizing engine which, accepting data from that element, generates a synthesized output that expresses that element, the audio output system audibly presenting the synthesized output to the user.
