In order to produce and store a pattern of reference words for use in a speaker-dependent speech recognition system, the system prompts the operator of the system to speak standard words in a predetermined sequence. For this purpose, a prestored standard word is spoken by the system with a predetermined length, power and rhythm, and the operator then repeats the standard words while attempting to simulate the same predetermined length, power and rhythm. The standard word repeated by the operator is detected and processed to determine whether it meets a certain resemblance criteria with respect to the standard word as spoken by the system. If the standard word repeated by the operator does not meet the resemblance criteria, the system repeats the same standard word to prompt the operator to try again; and, if the standard word repeated by the operator meets the resemblance criteria, it is stored as a reference word. This operation is repeated for each of the sequence of prestored standard words.

Method and apparatus for registering standard pattern for speech

A speech recognition system comprising a speech input device an analyzer for analyzing input speech to produce analyzed parameters and a discriminator for recognizing the input speech based on lthe analyzed parameters, has store/matching circuit at an input or output port of the analyzer for adjusting write time and read time. The store-matching circuit acts as a buffer with independent read and write addressing.

A figure displaying device operates to display a plurality of fundamental figures each defined by a preset number of vectors on a display device of the raster scanning type. The figure displaying device stores the start and end point coordinates of the respective vectors of the respective fundamental figures and the gradient data of the respective vectors of the fundamental figures, and determines whether the respective vectors are located on a horizontal scanning line or not for each fundamental figure prior to the scanning operation of the horizontal scanning line. If the vectors are located on the horizontal scanning line the gradient data corresponding to the vectors on the aforementioned horizontal scanning line is read out and added to the start point coordinates thereby to renew the start point coordinates. A line memory is provided having a capacity corresponding to the number of picture elements in one horizontal scanning line so that preset data can be stored therein at the address corresponding to the added results and a control circuit is provided for consecutively reading the data out of the address in the line memory, which corresponds to the position of the horizontal scanning line being scanned, thereby to effect the display in accordance with the read results.

Figure displaying device

A data transfer system for use in a data processing system using a direct memory access mode of operation, which is equipped with a processor, a main memory and an input/output device. The data transfer system is characterized in that, when a group of data to be transferred exists in a plurality of areas of continuous addresses of the afore-mentioned memory, a table is provided in the afore-mentioned main memory with identifying information for each group of data indicative of the first address and the number of data items to be transferred from each area of continuous addresses. Only the first address and the number of data items are fed out of the processor to the input/output device by the program control; and in the input/output device, the content of the corresponding table is transferred from the main memory in accordance with the data fed out of the processor so that the direct data transfer may be effected between the main memory and the input/output device in accordance with the transferred table content.

Direct memory access of a main memory by an input/output device using a

Herein disclosed is a figure displaying device for producing and displaying a figure on a raster scan television. The figure displaying device includes first memory means for storing the vertical and horizontal coordinate values of the stop information of one frame to be displayed and second memory means for storing preset information. Further inclusive is control means for locating such dot information having a vertical coordinate value corresponding to the vertical scan of the television from the first memory means so that the dot information may be stored at the address of the second memory means corresponding to the horizontal coordinate value of the dot information located.
