  • Patent number: 8879799
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a human identification system by fusion of face recognition and speaker recognition, a method and a service robot thereof. The system fuses results of the face recognition and the speaker recognition, and further uses confidence index to estimate the confidence level of the two recognition results. If only one of the confidence indices of the two recognition results reaches the threshold, then only this result is used as the output. If both confidence indices of the two recognition results reach the threshold, then the two recognition results are fused to output as a final result.

  • Patent number: 8400140
    Abstract: A sensor system for receiving an input signal and applying a digital control signal to adjust an output sensitivity of a triggering signal within the sensor system. The input signal includes a bias DC and a fluctuation bias voltage. The sensor system includes a first voltage contact, a normalized voltage contact, a normalized circuit and a comparison circuit. The first voltage contact provides a first comparison voltage based on the digital control signal, wherein the first comparison voltage defines a standby voltage region. The normalized voltage contact provides a reference voltage based on the digital control signal, wherein the reference voltage is located within the standby voltage region. When the fluctuation bias voltage is located outside of the standby voltage region, the sensor system outputs a triggering signal so as to adjust the digital control signal.
