Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to a personal voice pattern carrying card system and more particularly to a voice pattern recognition apparatus which is capable of identifying a person by recognizing discriminatively voice information produced by that person through comparison with a voice pattern stored previously in a card.
  • the voice pattern recognition in a voice information input apparatus has been commonly realized by storing a standardized voice pattern or those of particular persons.
  • a voice pattern recognition system disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 90367/1981 (JP-A-56-90367), by way of example.
  • the voice patterns corresponding to a plurality of character information such as those available on a keyboard or the like are stored in a card.
  • the card thus prepared is placed in the voice input apparatus for utilization, being followed by utterance of character information to be inputted in the form of voice.
  • the voice information input apparatus analyses the uttered character information to create a voice pattern corresponding to the input character information and detects the same voice pattern by retrieving it from those stored in the card mentioned above. Since the card stores therein the character information in correspondence with the voice pattern, the character information corresponding to the detected voice pattern is utilized as the input information to a computer, word processor or the like.
  • a reference numeral 1 denotes a card storing a personal voice pattern of a user
  • 2 denotes a voice input apparatus
  • 3 denotes a microphone
  • 4 denotes a voice detecting circuit
  • 5 denotes a digital pattern generator
  • 6 denotes a pattern recognizing circuit
  • 7 denotes a voice pattern memory
  • a numeral 8 denotes a display device.
  • the system includes the personal voice pattern carrying card 1 (hereinafter referred to simply as the card), the voice input apparatus 2, the microphone 3 and the display device 8.
  • the card 1 may be implemented in the form of an IC card or the like and includes the voice pattern memory 7 and the pattern identifying circuit 6.
  • the voice pattern memory 7 is previously loaded with a number of voice patterns based on the utterance by the holder of the card 1 (which patterns may correspond to the characters imprinted on keys of a conventional keyboard or idioms used frequently by the card holder) together with the character information of the characters or idioms corresponding to the voice patterns.
  • the voice pattern is digitized before being stored in the card, while the corresponding character information of the characters or idioms is also digitized into a digital signal of eight bits or the like and stored in the card together with the digitized patterns in one-to-one correspondence, which can be realized, for example, by placing the digitized character information immediately succeeding to the digitized voice pattern for each of the character information.
  • the holder or possessors of the card 1 performs the voice input operation.
  • he or she places the card which stores therein his or her own voice patterns and the corresponding character information prepared previously in the manner mentioned above in a voice input apparatus 2 to be utilized, to thereby realize connection between the card 1 and the voice input apparatus 2.
  • the user of the card 1 utters the character information to be inputted, which information is caught by the microphone 3 to be supplied to the voice input apparatus 2.
  • the input voice signal is then digitized by the voice detecting circuit 4 and the digital pattern generator 5 (in the manner similar to the storage of the voice pattern in the card), the signal resulting from the digitization being supplied to the pattern identification circuit 6 of the card 1.
  • the pattern identification circuit 6 implemented in the card 1 in turn detects the voice pattern which coincides with the voice pattern retrieved from those stored in the card 1, whereupon the corresponding character information (which naturally coincides with the character information produced by the card user) is inputted to the computer or word processor and at the same time displayed on the display device 8.
  • the voice input information is necessarily compared and collated with the voice pattern of the person by whom the voice information was inputted.
  • the character information is never restricted to the characters mentioned above but may be constituted by an idiom or short sentence used frequently.
  • Fig. 2 is a view showing an arrangement of the personal voice pattern carrying card system according to another embodiment of the present invention.
  • like parts as those shown in Fig. 1 are denoted by like reference numerals, respectively.
  • the system shown in Fig. 2 differs from the one shown in Fig. 1 in that the pattern identifying circuit 6 is incorporated in the voice input apparatus 2 instead of being realized in the card 1.
  • Operation of the system shown in Fig. 2 is substantially similar to that of the system shown in Fig. 1 except that the voice pattern generated by the digital pattern generator 5 is not transferred to the card but made use of in the voice input apparatus 2 for verification of the coincidence, since the pattern identification circuit 6 is incorporated in the voice input apparatus 2.
  • an IC or the like card incorporating no active elements such as, for example, a memory card or optical card may be used as the card 1.
  • a buffer may be provided in the voice input apparatus 2, wherein at the stage of placing the card 1 in the voice input apparatus 2, the information stored in the card 1 may be transferred to the buffer to thereby allow the pattern identification circuit 6 to retrieve the contents of the buffer for verifying the coincidence.
  • the memory card of a low access speed can also be employed.
