  • Publication number: 20160140481
    Abstract: Disclosed are a task supervising system and a method thereof, for automatically reporting whether a task is fulfilled. The system generates a task list via a task generating module. A worker learn the task and a required task area of a task location via the task list transmitted. The worker uses a location acquiring unit to obtain a location information of an electric device, and at least a sensor to obtain a sensing signal. A task executing module would first determine whether the location information of an electric device is within the required task area of the task location. If yes, the sensing signal would be transmitted to a database storing a reference signal corresponding to the task in advance. Finally, via the database, a task supervising module compares the sensing signal and the reference signal so as to generate a supervised result corresponding to the task.

  • Patent number: 8000964
    Abstract: A method of constructing a model of recognizing English pronunciation variations is used to recognize English pronunciations with different intonations influenced by non-English native languages. The method includes collecting a plurality of sound information corresponding to English expressions; corresponding phonetic alphabets of the non-English native language and English of a region to International Phonetic Alphabets (IPAs), so as to form a plurality of pronunciation models; converting the sound information with the pronunciation models to form a pronunciation variation network of the corresponding English expressions, thereby detecting whether the English expressions have pronunciation variation paths; and finally summarizing the pronunciation variation paths to form a plurality of pronunciation variation rules. Furthermore, the pronunciation variations are represented by phonetics features to infer possible pronunciation variation rules, which are stored to form pronunciation variation models.
