The electronic apparatus includes a voice input unit configured to receive a user voice, a storage unit configured to store a plurality of voice print feature models representing a plurality of user voices and a plurality of utterance environment models representing a plurality of environmental disturbances, a controller, in response to a user voice being input through the voice input unit, configured to extract utterance environment information of an utterance environment model among the plurality of utterance environment models corresponding to a location where the user voice is input, compare a voice print feature of the input user voice with the plurality of voice print feature models, revise a result of the comparison based on the extracted utterance environment information, and recognize a user corresponding to the input user voice based on the revised result. | 2016-02-04 |
| 20160035351 | DISPLAY DEVICE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING DISPLAY DEVICE, AND PROGRAM - A head mounted display device includes an image display unit that allows a user to visually recognize an image and through which outside scenery is transmitted and a microphone that detects a voice. In addition, the head mounted display device further includes a data acquisition unit that acquires data and an additional data display control unit that allows the image display unit to display an image based on the voice detected by the microphone and the data acquired by the data acquisition unit when the outside scenery is visually recognized by the user through the image display unit. | 2016-02-04 |
| 20160035352 | VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM AND RECOGNITION RESULT DISPLAY APPARATUS - A voice recognition system, when deciding that a user is about to select a voice recognition result displayed on a screen while the system continuously recognizes a voice uttered, stops a display update of the recognition result on the display unit, thereby being able to prevent the recognition result from disappearing or from changing to other recognition result at the moment when the user is about to select the recognition result. This makes it possible to prevent a user from carrying out an unwanted operation, and to improve the convenience of the user. | 2016-02-04 |
| 20160035353 | CONVERSATIONAL AGENTS - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for handing off a user conversation between computer-implemented agents. One of the methods includes receiving, by a computer-implemented agent specific to a user device, a digital representation of speech encoding an utterance, determining, by the computer-implemented agent, that the utterance specifies a requirement to establish a communication with another computer-implemented agent, and establishing, by the computer-implemented agent, a communication between the other computer-implemented agent and the user device. | 2016-02-04 |
| 20160035354 | BIT ALLOCATING, AUDIO ENCODING AND DECODING - A bit allocating method is provided that includes determining the allocated number of bits in decimal point units based on each frequency band so that a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of a spectrum existing in a predetermined frequency band is maximized within a range of the allowable number of bits for a given frame; and adjusting the allocated number of bits based on each frequency band. | 2016-02-04 |
| 20160035355 | AUDIO DECODER AND DECODING METHOD USING EFFICIENT DOWNMIXING - A method, an apparatus, a computer readable storage medium configured with instructions for carrying out a method, and logic encoded in one or more computer-readable tangible medium to carry out actions. The method is to decode audio data that includes N.n channels to M.m decoded audio channels, including unpacking metadata and unpacking and decoding frequency domain exponent and mantissa data; determining transform coefficients from the unpacked and decoded frequency domain exponent and mantissa data; inverse transforming the frequency domain data; and in the case M| 2016-02-04 | |
