  • Patent number: 7682883
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a thin film transistor array substrate incorporating the manufacture of a photo-sensor is provided. In the manufacturing method, a photo-sensing dielectric layer is formed between a transparent conductive layer and a metal electrode for detecting ambient light. Since the transparent conductive layer is adopted as an electrode, the ambient light can pass through the transparent conductive layer and get incident light into the photo-sensing dielectric layer. Therefore, the sensing area of the photo-sensor can be enlarged and the photo-sensing efficiency is improved. In addition, the other side of the photo sensitive dielectric layer may be a metal electrode. The metal electrode can block the backlight from getting incident into the photo-sensing dielectric layer and thus reduce the background noise. A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display panel adopting the aforementioned thin film transistor array substrate is also provided.

    Abstract: A thin film transistor (TFT) including a substrate, a buffer layer, a patterned poly-silicon layer, a gate dielectric layer, and a number of gate electrodes is provided. The patterned poly-silicon layer is disposed on the buffer layer and the substrate. The patterned poly-silicon layer includes a number of channel regions, at least one heavily doped region, two lightly doped regions, a source region, and a drain region. The heavily doped region connects two adjacent channel regions. The source region connects one of the two outmost channel regions through one of the lightly doped regions. The drain region connects the other outmost channel region through the other lightly doped region. The gate dielectric layer covers the patterned poly-silicon layer. The gate electrodes are disposed on the gate dielectric layer and electrically connected to one another. Each gate is disposed above each channel region and a part of the heavily doped region.

  • Publication number: 20090259469
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing speech recognition receives an audio signal, generates a sequence of frames of the audio signal, transforms each frame of the audio signal into a set of narrow band feature vectors using a narrow passband, couples the narrow band feature vectors to a speech model, and determines whether the audio signal is a wide band signal. When the audio signal is determined to be a wide band signal, a pass band parameter of each of one or more passbands that are outside the narrow passband is generated for each frame and the one or more band energy parameters are coupled to the speech model.

  • Publication number: 20080207125
    Abstract: A wireless transmitter (201) transmits (102) a message intended for at least one wireless personal communications device (202). That message comprises content (203) configured and arranged to at least attempt to prompt a particular operability configuration for the wireless personal communications device that conforms to social standards as correspond to a given local venue (204). Such content can vary with the application setting with some relevant examples comprising, but not being limited to, information indicative of a degree to which the operability configuration comprises a required operability configuration (as versus a voluntary or merely suggested configuration), information indicative of at least one particular capability of the wireless personal communication device to which the operability configuration pertains, and/or information corresponding to a time frame during which the operability configuration is applicable, to note but a few.

  • Publication number: 20080114604
    Abstract: A Higher Order Command Dialog System (HOCS) 250 for enabling voice control to a user interface is provided. The HOCS can record (302) a sequence of action steps a user performs while navigating a menu system to perform a task, prompt (304) a user to create an HOC for the task, and associate (306) the sequence of actions steps with a Higher Order Command (HOC) for performing the task. The HOC can include multi-modal inputs (120/260) and prompt a user for non-specific additional information (124) required in performing the task. The HOCS can store the HOC as a voice tag or a user-input command.

  • Publication number: 20080080678
    Abstract: A method (10) and system (200) for personalized voice dialogue can include tracking (12) a user's use of voice dialogue states or transitions and progressively offering (16) a user more efficient voice dialogue transitions or states such as voice dialogue transition or states having fewer and fewer words. The tracking of dialog states or transitions can include tracking (14) of repeated use of the dialogue states or transitions. A user can be prompted to create a new transition or state. The prompting (18) and confirmation and verification (20) by the user of a new transition or state can be done using SCXML language. The method can further include instantiating (21) the new transition or state with voice tags or words and performing (22) speech recognition using the new transition or state. The method can again determine (23) if the new transition or state is a repeat transition or state.

  • Patent number: 7319958
    Abstract: Acoustic phones (preferably drawn 12 from a plurality of spoken languages) are provided 11. A hierarchically-organized polyphone network (20) organizes views of these phones of varying resolution and phone categorization as a function, at least in part, of phonetic similarity (14) and at least one language-independent phonological factor (15). In a preferred approach, a unique transcription system serves to represent the phones using only standard, printable ASCII characters, none of which comprises a special character (such as those characters that have a command significance for common script interpreters such as the UNIX command line).

  • Patent number: 7181397
    Abstract: An electronic device (300) for speech dialog includes functions that receive (305, 105) a speech phrase that comprises a request phrase that includes an instantiated variable (215), generate (335, 115) pitch and voicing characteristics (315) of the instantiated variable, and performs speech recognition (319, 125) of the instantiated variable to determine a most likely set of acoustic states (235). The electronic device may generate (335, 140) a synthesized value of the instantiated variable using the most likely set of acoustic states and the pitch and voicing characteristics of the instantiated variable. The electronic device may use a table of previously entered values of variables that have been determined to be unique, and in which the values are associated with a most likely set of acoustic states and the pitch and voicing characteristics determined at the receipt of each value to disambiguate (425, 430) a newly received instantiated variable.

  • Patent number: 6950796
    Abstract: The invention provides a Hidden Markov Model (132) based automated speech recognition system (100) that dynamically adapts to changing background noise by detecting long pauses in speech, and for each pause processing background noise during the pause to extract a feature vector that characterizes the background noise, identifying a Gaussian mixture component of noise states that most closely matches the extracted feature vector, and updating the mean of the identified Gaussian mixture component so that it more closely matches the extracted feature vector, and consequently more closely matches the current noise environment. Alternatively, the process is also applied to refine the Gaussian mixtures associated with other emitting states of the Hidden Markov Model.
