A method and apparatus for diagnosing a user's health state are provided. The apparatus includes including a voice detecting unit which detects and monitors a user's voice; a voice analyzing unit which extracts a voice feature from a voice detected by the voice detecting unit, based on a health state to be diagnosed; a voice diagnosing unit which diagnoses a health state of the user by comparing the voice feature extracted by the voice analyzing unit with an abnormal state reference, and which monitors a change in the health state; and a diagnosis outputting unit which outputs information regarding the health state and a health state change diagnosed by the voice diagnosing unit.

A method and an apparatus for playout scheduling in a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system are provided. The method includes acquiring Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) samples by decoding a received packet; setting a first scale ratio according to a length of PCM samples stored in a playout buffer based on a preset scale ratio table; setting a second scale ratio by predicting a packet delay; setting a final scale ratio using the first scale ratio and the second scale ratio; and adjusting the length of the acquired PCM samples at the final scale ratio.

A method and apparatus for expanding a bandwidth of an input narrowband voice signal is provided. The narrowband voice signal is analyzed separately for each frame, and a Degree of Voicing (DV) and a Degree of Stationary (DS) are calculated depending on the analysis. A Degree of Difficulty of Bandwidth Expansion (DDBWE) of the narrowband voice signal is calculated based on DV and DS. Bandwidth expansion is controlled according to DDBWE.
