Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for training a speech signal. A speech signal training apparatus of the present disclosure may include a target speaker speech database storing a target speaker speech signal; a multi-speaker speech database storing a multi-speaker speech signal; a target speaker acoustic parameter extracting unit extracting an acoustic parameter of a training subject speech signal from the target speaker speech signal; a similar speaker acoustic parameter determining unit extracting at least one similar speaker speech signal from the multi-speaker speech signals, and determining an auxiliary speech feature of the similar speaker speech signal; and an acoustic parameter model training unit determining an acoustic parameter model by performing model training for a relation between the acoustic parameter and text by using the acoustic parameter and the auxiliary speech feature, and setting mapping information of the relation between the acoustic parameter model and the text.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method for providing an User Interface (UI) are disclosed. The method for providing a User Interface (UI) in an electronic device according to the present invention, the method may includes receiving a request for provision of the UI, collecting information for configuring the requested UI, classifying the collected information according to a first criterion so as to generate a plurality of pages, hierarchizing the generated pages and arranging the layers according to a second criterion so as to form a multilayer UI and providing the formed multilayer UI as the requested UI.

Abstract: A method for selecting preference channels comprising the steps of initializing a digital TV(DTV) system to set an idle state of a general mode in which a channel is selected through multi-stage-input procedures; registering a preference channel set including at least one preference channel through which a user most-frequently watch DTV, the registered preference channels corresponding to specific keys, respectively; c) switching current general mode to a preference mode; and d) selecting one channel of the registered preference channel set through the one-touch input of the specific key corresponding to the one channel, in the switched preference mode.
