Abstract
Abstract A system for having a mode for registering storing a necessary typical spoken word pattern for use in speech recognition and inputting a same spoken word a plurality of times. In the mode for registering a word pattern, a previous input spoken word, input prior to the Nth time, is reproduced. After listening to the reproduced spoken prompt word, the Nth input of the same spoken word is effected. The system registers one typical spoken word of a well-averaged voice pattern with high accuracy while increasing the system speech recognition rate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A system for registering speech information as a typical pattern for use in a word recognition system comprising: input means for inputting spoken words; mode change means for changing between a word-registration mode and a word-recognition mode; memory means in said word-registration mode for storing a spoken word obtained on the basis of inputting the same spoken word a plurality of times for use in said word-recognition mode; and output means for reading, when said system is in the registration mode and selected spoken word is input for the Nth time, said selected spoken word stored in said memory means before the Nth time, and said output means for outputting said selected spoken word as spoken information.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
117 words
A system for registering speech information as a typical pattern for use in a word recognition system comprising: input means for inputting spoken words; mode change means for changing between a word-registration mode and a word-recognition mode; memory means in said word-registration mode for storing a spoken word obtained on the basis of inputting the same spoken word a plurality of times for use in said word-recognition mode; and output means for reading, when said system is in the registration mode and selected spoken word is input for the Nth time, said selected spoken word stored in said memory means before the Nth time, and said output means for outputting said selected spoken word as spoken information.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The system for claim 1, wherein said memory means comprises a first memory means for storing averaged speech pattern information and a second memory means for storing the spoken information.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
The system of claim 2, wherein the averaged speech pattern to be stored in the first memory means and an address specifying a storage location of spoken information to be stored in the second memory means in response to the averaged speech pattern are associated with each other.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The system of claim 1, wherein said input means effects the input of said selected spoken word for the Nth time after output of said selected spoken word from said output means.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
175 words
A system for registering speech information as a typical pattern for use in a word recognition system comprising: input means for inputting a spoken word from an operator a plurality of times; mode change means for changing between a word-registration mode and a word-recognition mode; memory means for storing a spoken word pattern input by said input means for use in a word-recognition mode, said word-registration mode storing a typical spoken word pattern for recognition in said memory means on the basis of inputting said spoken word a plurality of times; and output means for reading said spoken word stored in said memory before the Nth time and for outputting said stored word as spoken information upon the input of said spoken word by said operator for the Nth time when said system is in the registration mode, wherein said system further comprises designation means for designating a word pattern registered in said memory means and said output means reads said spoken word in order to re-register the word pattern designated by said designation means.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
175 words
A system for registering speech information as a typical pattern for use in a word recognition system comprising: input means for inputting a spoken word from an operator a plurality of times; mode change means for changing between a word-registration mode and a word-recognition mode; memory means for storing a spoken word pattern input by said input means for use in a word-recognition mode, said word-registration mode storing a typical spoken word pattern for recognition in said memory means on the basis of inputting said spoken word a plurality of times; and output means for reading said spoken word stored in said memory before the Nth time and for outputting said stored word as spoken information upon the input of said spoken word by said operator for the Nth time when said system is in the registration mode, wherein said system further comprises designation means for designating a word pattern registered in said memory means and said output means reads said spoken word in order to re-register the word pattern designated by said designation means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
60 words
The system of claim 5, wherein said mode change means terminates the registration mode when said operator repeats the input of said spoken word for the Nth time after listening to the spoken information output by said output means in response to the input of the spoken word for the (N-1)th time when said system is in the registration mode.
