Patent number: 8423481Abstract: A self-learning method for keyword based human machine interaction is disclosed. At least one of a plurality of keywords predetermined in a database is selected and a priority score of the selected keyword is updated and a weighted factor is generated for the selected keyword. A weighted score and the weighted factor of the selected keyword are transmitted to the keywords related to the selected keyword. The selected keyword is pushed to a keyword buffer and linkage strengths between the keywords in the keyword buffer are strengthened. When a keyword has been stored in the keyword buffer for over a predetermined reset time period, a reset operation is performed to remove the keyword from the keyword buffer.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2009Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Mitac International Corp.Inventors: Yin-pin Yang, Ching-Chung Chan, Xiao-Ming Lin

Patent number: 8364403Abstract: A processing method for a portable navigation device equipped with a conversation system is disclosed. When the portable navigation device is operating in a dumb mode, events are displayed on a screen of the device according to preset conditions and parameters. In a normal mode, events scheduled in the 1st to Xth order are pushed to the user according to preset conditions, and, in a hype mode, events are displayed on the screen based on preset conditions and parameters while events residing at the top layer of the screen are actively and repeatedly pushed to the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2009Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Mitac International Corp.Inventors: Yin-pin Yang, Ching-Chung Chan, Xiao-Ming Lin

Patent number: 7302390Abstract: A configurable distributed speech recognition system comprises a configurable distributed speech recognition protocol, and a configurable distributed speech recognition server. Herein, the configurable distributed speech recognition protocol is used to establish data transmitting format, for a client speech mobile device to packet the speech data and configuration data become a message packet. The configurable distributed speech recognition system receives the message packet from the client speech mobile device, configures its own speech recognition modules and resources according to the configuration data, and then returns a result to the client speech mobile device after completing the speech recognition.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2003Date of Patent: November 27, 2007Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Yin-Pin Yang, Po-Cheng Chen, Chien-Chieh Wang

Patent number: 7219057Abstract: A speech recognition method includes receiving signals derived from indices of a codebook corresponding to recognition feature vectors extracted from speech to be recognized. The signals include an indication of the number of bits per codebook index. The method also includes obtaining the string of indices from the received signals, obtaining the corresponding recognition feature vectors from the string of indices, and applying the recognition feature vectors to a word-level recognition process. To conserve network capacity, the size of the codebook and the corresponding number of bits per codebook index, are adapted on a dialogue-by-dialogue basis. The adaptation accomplishes a tradeoff between expected recognition rate and expected bitrate by optimizing a metric which is a function of both.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2005Date of Patent: May 15, 2007Assignee: Koninklijke Philips ElectronicsInventor: Yin-Pin Yang

Publication number: 20050267753Abstract: In a mobile wireless communication system automatic speech recognition is performed in a distributed manner using a mobile station based near or front end stage which extracts and vector quantizes recognition feature parameters from frames of an utterance and an infrastructure based back or far end stage which reverses the vector quantization to recover the feature parameters and subjects the feature parameters to a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) evaluation to obtain a recognition decision for the utterance. In order to conserve network capacity, the size (Sz) of the codebook used for the vector quantization, and the corresponding number of bits (B) per codebook index B, are adapted on a dialogue-by-dialogue basis in relation to the vocabulary size |V| for the dialogue. The adaptation, which is performed at the front end, accomplishes a tradeoff between expected recognition rate RR and expected bitrate RR by optimizing a metric which is a function of both.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2005Publication date: December 1, 2005Inventor: Yin-Pin Yang
