  • Publication number: 20110067024
    Abstract: This specification discloses a system and method of downloading add-on elements to extend software functions. After the server generates the payment file for the add-on elements selected by the client according to the selected payment method, the payment file is transmitted to the client. After the client successfully verifies the rights limitation data in the payment file, the add-on elements are loaded for the user to customize the software. This also achieves the effects of combining with programs and data of some third-party manufacturers.

  • Publication number: 20060084047
    Abstract: A system and method of segmented language learning is disclosed. The system filtered background noise of the audio information therein and obtained with audio information pausing position. The audio information will be segmented into at least one piece of segmented audio language learning data according to the audio information pausing position, and then generates an index. The system then plays the segmented audio language learning data according to the index for language learning.

  • Publication number: 20060074650
    Abstract: A speech identification system and method thereof applicable to a data processing device is proposed. An original audio frequency and a recorded audio frequency are stored via a storage unit, and set with sample frequency values using the sample frequency setting mechanism according to the preset value. Then, the original and recorded audio frequencies are transformed into waveform signals, and maximum volumes of the sample frequencies for the original and recorded audio frequencies are analyzed. The absolute values of the original and recorded audio frequencies are calculated and compared to determine an identification result. On the other hand, the original audio frequency is adjusted in a personalized manner by an audio processing mechanism to match user's audio characteristics. With the speech identification system and method thereof, the audio frequency is adjusted according to user's characteristics so as to increase accuracy in speech identification.

  • Publication number: 20060074663
    Abstract: A speech waveform processing system and method which is able to perform a segmentation process for a continuous speech waveform according to predetermined speech parameters is proposed. First of all, an inputted continuous speech signal is read and subsequently preprocessed by the system. Meanwhile, the waveform of the speech signal is displayed. Then, the predetermined parameters for processing the speech waveform and inputted information relevant to the speech signal are stored by the system. Subsequently, a segmentation process is performed for the inputted continuous speech signal according to the predetermined parameters for processing the speech waveform and the inputted information relevant to the speech signal. Further, the waveform of the speech signal acquired after the segmentation process is displayed.

  • Publication number: 20030135643
    Abstract: A data transmission scheduling system and method, which utilizes the transmission character of a wireless network to schedule data updating and downloading, and to design a customized transmission mechanism. According to the scheduling plan defined by the user in advance, the system triggers a transmission mechanism to complete a data transmission task when a certain schedule condition is detected to be valid. The system is comprised of a starting module, a schedule defining module, a schedule adding module, a schedule removal module, a schedule executing module, a self-adjusting transmission module, and a schedule diary module. The system establishes and executes tasks according to the schedule. Using the disclosed method can avoid network transmission jams to effectively increase data transmission efficiency of the wireless network.
