Shown in Figure 2 is the example system 200 of institute's construction according to the present invention, this system situation that decides a human respiratory system.As seeing in Fig. 2, this system 200 has comprised 220, one storage modules 230 of 210, one data processors of 205, one analog/digitals of an input module (A/D) modular converter and an output module 240.
At the input module 205 shown in Fig. 2 system 200, reception is analyzed this situation from the sound 150 of the situation generation of respiratory system 100.This input module 205 can by various can replace easily and finish provide the device that is input to this analog to digital modular converter 210 to constitute.For instance, these device some of them have comprised networking interface module, the digital interface module and the mike of general utility functions.Though the A/D modular converter shown in the image pattern 2 can be used in some occasion, if sound 150 had just converted digital pattern to before being provided to system 200, that has not just needed the A/D modular converter.For the people who is familiar with this skill, conspicuous this data processor may comprise for example some extra hardware, software with and/or similar one group of CPU, auxiliary processor, memorizer, suitable devices such as the device of depositor and other processing and system.Storage module 230 can be made up of one group of changeable element or subsystem, for instance, comprises hard disk drive, optical disc apparatus, and the storage device of general utility functions, removable storage device and other can be used for finishing the device of memory function.Output module 230 can be made up of one group of changeable system, subsystem and element, for instance, comprises display device 242 and printer 244.Display device 242 can be made up of one group of changeable device, for instance, comprises cathode ray tube or liquid crystal display.In addition, this output device 240 can comprise other systems that output function can be provided, subsystem and device, for example digital interface of networking interface, storage device, general utility functions, parallel interface and serial line interface.In addition, this system 200 with and/or arbitrary above-mentioned module, device, element or function can be included in the random suitable combination of hardware, software or other suitable devices, and can be used as a standard autonomous system or integrate with other devices.
Input module 205 receives the sound 150 that is sent by respiratory system 100.In the example embodiment of Fig. 2, this input module 205 has comprised that a mike produces the analoging sound signal of one group of representative voice 150.This A/D modular converter receives the analoging sound signal from input module 205, and this analoging sound signal is changed into digital signal.Data processor 220 is handled this digital signal to produce one group of formative digital signal, calculate the parameter of at least one representative voice 150, with this parameter of at least one and at least one corresponding to the referrer module that is listed in the situation that is stored in this storage module 230 in the form 1 relatively, and the possible situation of decision expression sound 150.This output module 240 provides a situation output, and the medicine indication of optionally exporting-dealing with this situation.
What Fig. 3 represented is a flow chart, is decorated with one group above about utilizing the sound 150 that is produced by certain situation to decide the correlation step of program 300 of the situation of respiratory system 100.As shown in Figure 3, this program has comprised the step that system 200 implements among Fig. 2.Program 300 starts from system 100 and produces the sound 150 that is transfused to the module reception.This input equipment 205 converts sound 150 to one group of analoging sound signal.
For this acoustical signal being converted to one group of formative digital signal, this A/D modular converter receives this analoging sound signal (step 310), this analoging sound signal that receives is taken a sample (step 320), and this analoging sound signal is converted to digital signal (step 330).In the embodiment of a demonstration, about 20 seconds sampling during this A/D modular converter 210 has carried out analoging sound signal with the sampling rate of 16000 samplings of about per second.In this example embodiment, this analoging sound signal of 20 seconds has produced one group of digital signal of enough making correct analysis via conversion.Yet inferior analoging sound signal may need more digital signal (that is to say, faster between sampling rate or longer sampling date).Though Fig. 3 has represented to receive one group of analoging sound signal (step 310), this system 200 can accept to represent the digital signal of the analoging sound signal of this situation easily via beginning from step 335.
In order to produce this formative digital signal, this data processor 220 has been handled this digital signal (step 335).A kind of suitable format digital signal structure can provide the most excellent processing performance and precise diagnosis.Though the structure of other kinds or form may be used, but in this example embodiment, this data processor 220 cuts into a series of block (step 335) with this digital signal, during each block be 25 milliseconds, the overlapped data that is inserted with 10 milliseconds between the consecutive block is to provide smooth data kenel.
This data processor 220 uses this formative digital signal to calculate at least one parameter (step 340), and Fig. 4 is the flow chart of a demonstration, and drawn is the step of coming the program 400 of calculating parameter (step 340) according to the present invention.As shown in Figure 4,220 pairs of formative digital signal blocks of this data processor carry out high speed fourier transform (step 410).The frequency domain value that obtains is through providing one group of coefficient as this at least one parameter to number conversion (step 420) and once anti-high speed fourier transform (FFT-1) (step 430).These coefficients are called cheek coefficient of frequency (mel-frequency) again.Though this example embodiment has been used the cheek coefficient of frequency, we still can calculate these coefficients with other technology, for instance, comprise time frequency band output (sub-band outputs), linear spectral increases the weight of linear predictor coefficient (perceptually weighted linearprediction) to (linespectrum pairs) and aesthesia.In the speech recognition field, we are " basis of speech recognition ", L.Rabiner and B.Juang, 1993 are added in this as reference, have wherein described the cheek coefficient of frequency, inferior frequency band output, linear spectral to and aesthesia increase the weight of the calculating of linear predictor coefficient.
Again with reference to figure 3, some these group coefficients are used to be used as this at least one parameter, and this parameter is brought referrer module that those that may experience with at least one expression system 100 in the storage module 230 that is stored in may breath states compare (step 350).
This calculation of parameter (step 340) produces at least one parameter (at least one value just).This data processor 220 needs compare with at least one referrer module (step 350) of at least one parameter.For comparing (step 350) required optimal parameter number is unfixed.If used parameter very little, then the final diagnosis that is provided by output module 130 will be compared inaccuracy.Opposite, if used too much parameter, then required processing and store to become and be difficult to burden in data processor 220.In an example embodiment, 39 parameters (39 values just) and this at least one referrer module are compared.
Shown in Figure 5 is an example flow chart, this figure describes be comprise relevant to the present invention, the program 500 of the secondary program that at least one parameter and at least one referrer module are compared.According to Fig. 5, this data processor 220 usefulness are calculated this at least one parameter and the probability of this at least one referrer module (step 520) or the value (step 510) of similarity and are made comparisons (step 350 of Fig. 3), and the value of this probability or similarity is exactly the similarity degree of this referrer module (step 520) and this at least one parameter of calculating from this formative digital signal.The value of the similarity that this calculates provides a coherent detection of the similarity degree between this at least one parameter and this corresponding referrer module.In an example embodiment of the present invention, this data processor 220 has used a Viterbi decoder (Viterbi Decoder) to calculate similar probability (step 510).In an example embodiment, this data processor 220 repeats (step 530) and is stored in 36 kinds of storage module 230 and calculates the value (step 510) of a probability or similarity with reference to module arbitrary, wherein these 36 kinds with reference to module each corresponding to the situation that is listed in 36 kinds of respiratory systems in the table 1.Though this embodiment has used Viterbi decoder, we still can use other technology to come relatively this at least one parameter and this at least one referrer module, for instance, comprise Dynamic Time Warping method (dynamic timewarping method), vector quantization (vector quantization), or artificial neuron networking (artificial neural networks).In the speech recognition field, " basis of speech recognition ", L.Rabiner and B.Juang, 1993, narrated Veterbi decoding (Viterbi Decode), Dynamic Time Warping, vectorial quantization and artificial neuron networking.
Again with reference to figure 3, in one embodiment of the invention, this data processor 220 has used a known condition training sample as the respiratory system that will analyze, calculate this respiratory system 100 of expression one to know a referrer module of situation.This training sample is made up of the sound that the known condition of this respiratory system produces substantially.In order to form this referrer module, this A/D modular converter converts this training sample to digital signal, and this data processor 220 with this digital signals formatization so that a formative digital signal to be provided, and calculate at least one parameter, make the corresponding referrer module (step 330 of the known case that will be diagnosed, 335,340).As a result, this referrer module has comprised at least one parameter, and this at least one parameter is corresponding to the training sample that is retained in the known condition that will be diagnosed in the storage module 230.For any other known condition that will be diagnosed, these data processor 220 uses one are used in other training samples of these other known condition, to calculate other referrer module of these other respiratory system known condition of expression.
In one embodiment of the invention, this storage device 230 has comprised the situation of being differentiated and diagnosing according to each, at least one referrer module of using concealed Marko's module (Hidden Markov model) to calculate.This data processor 220 utilizes the training sample of each respiratory system situation to calculate concealed Marko's module.For instance, this data processor 220 has utilized the format digital signal that obtains according to this training sample, calculates the referrer module of this situation corresponding to concealed Marko's module." basis of speech recognition ", L.Rabiner and B.Juang, 1993, narrated the concealed Marko's module that applies in the speech recognition.
With reference to figure 3, in order to determine whether this formative digital signal matches with this referrer module, 220 decisions (step 360) of this data processor are corresponding to this at least one parameter of one of this referrer module, and whether perhaps one group of parameter is in an acceptable similar value scope.In more detail, this data processor 220 is from being stored in storage module 230, makes a decision and selects (step 360) among respiratory system 100 situations of representing with at least one referrer module.As the some that determines and select a possibility situation, before an output is provided, 220 selections of this data processor, or say and prefer that the most similar situation can not be accepted or dissimilar situation and filter out.
What Fig. 6 represented is the example flow chart of a program 600, and this program has comprised the relevant step of selecting a kind of situation according to the present invention.With reference to figure 6, in an example embodiment according to the present invention, this data processor 220 uses the step that is illustrated in the program 600 to decide and choice situation (step 360).This data processor 220 has used the probability that receives from this comparison step (step 350) to assess the corresponding probability of each situation (step 610).This data processor 220 has been selected the value (step 620) of five maximum likelihoods.If the value (step 630) of an acceptable probability should five values of maximum be arranged, then this data processor 220 just provides this situation to come when output (step 650,660).If any in these five situations all can not be represented the real conditions of this problem, this data processor 220 is just only selected those acceptable situations (step 640), and provides a suitable output (step 650,660) to output module 240.This output can include the detailed pharmaceutical information (step 660) of selecting situation at this (a bit).As what in flow chart, mention, output can by this output module with one easily pattern be shown to a user (step 650).
With reference to figure 3, this output module 240 provides the indication of a situation to a user (step 370) again.In an example embodiment, this output module has comprised that for instance, a display 242 and a printer 244 are to provide the detailed medical information (step 660) of a user corresponding to this situation.
Therefore, the invention provides the situation that new device is diagnosed respiratory system.
Preferred embodiment of the present invention has disclosed as above, and purpose is expression and narrates its target.This is not the accurate form of wanting thorough detailed descriptionthe or limiting the invention to this exposure, and via above teaching enlightenment or implementation of the present invention, may be able to make and revising and variation.For instance, the present invention is not limited to the device shown in Fig. 1, but generally can the whole bag of tricks implements, scope definition of the present invention the scope of claims with and equivalence among.
