Patent number: 10318646Abstract: An operation of a user on a document is received. The received operation is analyzed. A structured guiding view for the document is generated by using a result of the analyzing and a basic structure of the document. In certain implementations, a user's reading interests and reading habits may be analyzed through the user's reading behaviors or notations added to the document by the user, and the result of the analyzing may be mapped into an intuitively presentable structured guiding view for the document.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2012Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Guo Kang Fu, Xue Feng Gao, Bing Xin Wang, Yi Yao, Da Wei Zhang

Patent number: 8650032Abstract: The present invention discloses converting a text form into a speech. In the present invention, partial word lists of a data source are obtained by parsing the data source in parallel or in series. The partial word lists are then compiled to obtain phoneme graphs corresponding, respectively, to the partial word lists, and then the obtained phoneme graphs are combined. Speech recognition is then conducted according to the combination results. According to the present invention, computational complexity may be reduced and recognition efficiency may be improved during speech recognition.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2011Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Guo Kang Fu, Zhao Bing Han, Bin Jia, Ying Liu
