Abstract: A computer implemented method, data processing system, apparatus and computer program product for determining current behavioral, psychological and speech styles characteristics of a speaker in a given situation and context, through analysis of current speech utterances of the speaker. The analysis calculates different prosodic parameters of the speech utterances, consisting of unique secondary derivatives of the primary pitch and amplitude speech parameters, and compares these parameters with pre-obtained reference speech data, indicative of various behavioral, psychological and speech styles characteristics. The method includes the formation of the classification speech parameters reference database, as well as the analysis of the speaker's speech utterances in order to determine the current behavioral, psychological and speech styles characteristics of the speaker in the given situation.

Abstract: An apparatus for determining emotional arousal of a subject by speech analysis, and an associated method. In the method, a speech sample is obtained, the speech sample is pre-processed into silent and active speech segments and the active speech segments are divided into strings of equal length blocks (the blocks having primary speech parameters including pitch and amplitude parameters), a plurality of selected secondary speech parameters indicative of characteristics of equal-pitch are derived, rising-pitch and falling-pitch trends in the strings of blocks, the secondary speech parameters are compared with predefined, subject independent values representing non-emotional speech to generate a processing result indicative of emotional arousal, and the generated processed result is outputted to an output device.
