Abstract: Disclosed is a power storage device and method for discharging the same, which configures the power storage device to perform an electric power output under a discharging limit upon coupling with a load device and before any authentication is conducted. The discharging limit for the electric power output will be lifted only when an authentication result between the power storage device and the load device indicates a successful authentication.

Abstract: In the present invention, a voice input system and a voice input method are provided. The voice input method includes the steps of: (A) initiating a speech recognition process by a first input associated with a first parameter of a first speech recognition subject; (B) providing a voice and a searching space constructed by a speech recognition model associated with the first speech recognition subject; (C) obtaining a sub-searching space from the searching space based on the first parameter; (D) searching at least one candidate item associated with the voice from the sub-searching space; and (E) showing the at least one candidate item.

Abstract: A vocabulary generating method and apparatus and a speech recognition system using the same are disclosed. In the vocabulary generating method, a new system vocabulary can be generated to increase the flexibility of the speech recognition system, so a user, when unsure of a system command, can use a specially defined “unknown code word” (UCW) for the undetermined part in the command.

Abstract: A dialogue system and a speech dialogue operation method are provided. In the system, an inquiry speech signal is generated according to data for specific person and is transferred to a receiver. In response to the inquiry speech signal, a reply speech signal is generated by the receiver, and after the reply speech signal is recognized, a speech correspondence signal is obtained. A ID recognition procedure is performed according to the speech correspondence signal, and a dialogue control signal is generated according to the result of the ID recognition procedure, and accordingly, a response speech signal is generated and transferred to the receiver to continue or terminate the dialogue. When the receiver is recognized to be matched with the specific person, a message delivering procedure is performed to deliver a message to be transferred to the specific person to the receiver.

Abstract: A speech recognition device and a method thereof are adapted to recognize a Chinese word. The speech recognition device includes a lexicon model, a language model, a speech recognition module, and a parsing module. The lexicon model keeps a plurality of words. The speech recognition module performs a speech recognition processing on a voice signal conforming to a syntax structure of Chinese word description. The speech recognition processing searches words related to the Chinese word description from the lexicon model according to a feature of the Chinese word description, and produces a literal word series in digital data form by referring a syntax combination probability. The language model based on the syntax structure of Chinese word description provides the syntax combination probability according to combination relations between the searched words. The parsing module analyzes the syntax structure of the literal word series for retrieving the Chinese word.

Abstract: A network information searching method for a search engine system is provided. The search engine system is capable of searching with a plurality of web-site search engines. First, a voice signal is processed for speech recognition to generate a literal word series, in which the voice signal conforms to a grammatical format and includes a designated group and a keyword. Then, the literal word series is analyzed according to the grammatical format, so as to retrieve the designated group and the keyword from the literal word series. The retrieved designated group and keyword are transmitted to the search engine system. The search engine system selects a suitable web-site search engine according to the designated group to search for the keyword online, and obtain a searched result thereby.

Abstract: A device with a voice-assisted system is provided by using a voice command to adjust operations. The voice-assisted system includes a voice recognition engine and a control device. The voice recognition engine receives a voice command and outputting a voice signal based on the voice command to the control unit. The control unit based on the voice signal adjusts the operations. A user is only required to input the voice command. The voice recognition engine performs a series of actions to adjust the operations. Therefore, the voice-assisted system can enhance convenience of adjusting the operations of the device and reduce operation complexity for the user.

Abstract: A video device with a voice-assisted system is provided by using a voice command to adjust the images. The voice-assisted system includes a voice recognition engine and a control unit. The voice recognition engine receives a voice command and outputting a voice signal based on the voice command to the control unit. The control unit based on the voice signal performs the adjustment actions to adjust image. The user only requires inputting a single voice command. The voice recognition engine then can perform a series of actions to adjust image. Therefore, the voice-assisted system can enhance the convenience of adjusting the image of the video device and reduce the operation complexity for the user.

Abstract: A user interface for a text-to-phone conversion and the method for correcting the results of the text-to-phone in the user interface are provided. The user interface for the text-to-phone conversion comprises a vocabulary column, a pronunciation column, a category column, and an index column. The vocabulary column is displaying a word having at least one letter. The pronunciation column is displaying a pronunciation corresponding to the word. The category column is displaying a specific source corresponding to the corresponding pronunciation. The index column is displaying a specific confidence score corresponding to the pronunciation. The present invention could highly increase the processing rate and the usage convenience of the correctable interface during the text-to-phone conversion.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for constructing new Chinese words by voice input is disclosed. The invention provides a method of adding new words to a speech recognition system, for example, a speaker-independent Chinese speech recognition system, for updating its vocabulary database. In the invention, voice signals indicating a description of Chinese characters/syllables are input sequentially, and feature parameters are derived from the voice signals. The feature parameters are compared with a description constraint unit to determine corresponding characters or syllables. The characters or syllables are stored in a storage unit. After confirmation by users, the characters or syllables are combined into a new word.
