Abstract: The present invention provides a random voiceprint certification system comprises a training system, a random cipher generator, and a testing system, which is employed to process training or testing operation for the input raw voice data. In training voice, the training system obtains an appointment voiceprint feature model parameter groups from the input raw voice data. From the appointment voiceprint feature model parameter groups several voiceprint characteristic units are obtained and at least one reference voiceprint password, which is for the testing system to carry out the voice testing operation is built. In processing testing voice, the random cipher generator generates randomly at least one reference voiceprint password from the voiceprint characteristic units of the appointment voiceprint feature model parameter groups to build the random voiceprint cipher lock. The present invention generates randomly one or several reference voiceprint passwords.

Abstract: This invention provides efficient method and apparatus of the motion estimation for the video compression. A storage device saving MVs of a partial or an entire frame and the prediction modes are applied to be the reference for the motion estimation of the neighboring frame. The majority MV of the current frame and at least one neighboring frame is referred as the MV or as the initial point of searching for the current frame or the neighboring frames. Should the movement of the blocks in previous frame is different from the FMV, will the blocks or the neighboring blocks need to go through the motion estimation. The predetermined threshold values are specified to decide the need of a refiner pixel resolution, the sub-sampling ratio, and early giving up or early selecting of the current macroblock. Sub-sampling ratio or the decision of refiner or coarser pixel resolution is determined by the values of the MV or MAD.

Abstract: A portable voiceprint-lock remote transmitting system includes a network voiceprint database and network communication devices connecting with the network voiceprint database on a network. The network voiceprint database includes a public-access voiceprint directory and a plurality of public-access voiceprint keys. The network communication device can download the public-access voiceprint key from the network voiceprint database, and the selected public-access voiceprint key can be used to encrypt electronic files to form a voiceprint lock. A receiver can decrypt the encrypted electronic files in a verification procedure.

Abstract: A voiceprint-lock system for electronic data includes a voiceprint-key which is used to encrypt or decrypt the electronic data to form a voiceprint-lock of the electronic data. A voiceprint verification system is used to generate a voiceprint feature from which to retrieve the voiceprint-key. The voiceprint verification system includes a front-end processing portion, a feature-retrieving portion, a training system and a testing system so as to process raw voice data for training or testing operation.

Abstract: A voiceprint identification method for transacting e-commerce includes the steps of: accessing user's login via electronic communication means; an identification device recognizing a password; the identification device verifying voiceprint registration of users whether a voiceprint of the assessed user is registered; a voiceprint identification system identifying the assessed user's login or approving registration of a voiceprint of the user; and the voiceprint identification system determining the user to approve or disapprove in transacting e-commerce.

Abstract: The invention provides method and apparatus of video bit stream encoding. In non-intra type encoding, block pixel differences between a target block and the corresponding best match block is compared to other blocks' to determine whether a bit stream of a previously compressed block can be used to represent a target block. In Intra-coding, a target block is compared to other blocks to determine whether a bit stream of a previously compressed block can represent the target block. Should variance range of a block pixel of an intra-coded frame or block pixel differences of a non-intra coding frame is less than predetermined thresholds, the DC coefficient is represented by a predetermined value, or a certain amount of AC coefficients are calculated.
