10/978313

Inventors:

Avery Li-Chun Wang - Palo Alto CA, US
Daniel Culbert - Sunnyvale CA, US

Assignee:

Landmark Digital Services, LLC - Nashville TN

International Classification:

G10L 21/00

US Classification:

704273, 704217, 704257, 704224, 704270, 341155, 341110, 341114, 348515, 348464, 348500

Abstract:

The present invention provides an innovative technique for rapidly and accurately determining whether two audio samples match, as well as being immune to various kinds of transformations, such as playback speed variation. The relationship between the two audio samples is characterized by first matching certain fingerprint objects derived from the respective samples. A set () of fingerprint objects (), each occurring at a particular location (), is generated for each audio sample (). Each location () is determined in dependence upon the content of the respective audio sample () and each fingerprint object () characterizes one or more local features () at or near the respective particular location (). A relative value is next determined for each pair of matched fingerprint objects. A histogram of the relative values is then generated.

Assignee:

International Classification:

G06F 900

US Classification:

709310

Abstract:

A structure and method for routing information desired by a particular entity within a pen-based computer system to that entity are provided. The desired information is contained in "packages" containing the desired information in one or more "parts" and also containing a package directory (located in front of the parts) that identifies the package and provides selected information about the package and its parts. The packages are received and processed by a package manager that maintains a registry of entities that desire specified types of information (parts) that might be found in an incoming package. When the package manager receives a package containing such information, it routes the part containing that information to a "part handler" associated with the entity requesting the information. The package manager then updates a package registry to reflect that the package has been successfully delivered.
