Patent EP-2109096-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WOUTERS JOHAN
IPC: G10L13/07
Filed: 2008-09-03
Abstract: The method for providing speech parameters to be used for synthesis of a speech utterance is comprising the steps of receiving an input time series of first speech parameter vectors, preparing at least one input time series of second speech parameter vectors consisting of dynamic speech parameters, extracting from the input time series of first and second speech parameter vectors partial time series of first speech parameter vectors and corresponding partial time series of second speech parameter vectors, converting the corresponding partial time series of first and second speech parameter vectors into partial time series of third speech parameter vectors, wherein the conversion is done independently for each set of partial time series and can be started as soon as the vectors of the input time series of the first speech parameter vectors have been received. The speech parameter vectors of the partial time series of third speech parameter vectors are combined to form a time series of output speech parameter vectors to be used for synthesis of the speech utterance. The method allows a continuous providing of speech parameter vectors for synthesis of the speech utterance. The latency and the memory requirements for the synthesis of a speech utterance are reduced.

IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2008-03-31
Abstract: In providing identity management in distributed systems, it is known to provide a user with a single sign-on to accounts with different service providers with whom the user interacts by communicating with the service providers' computers. Such a single sign-on is provided by having the user authenticate himself to an identity provider computer, and thereafter relying on that identity provider computer to issue identity assertions on his behalf. An identity provider validation service is proposed with which service providers can interact on receiving an identity assertion on behalf of a user. This allows the service provider to rely only on the identity provider validation service rather than having to rely on the numerous identity providers who might issue identity assertion on behalf of one of their users. Furthermore, the identity assertions include a level of assurance indication, and the identity provider validation service indicates whether each identity provider can be trusted to properly issue an identity assertion claiming that level of assurance. This provides a more fine-grained and adaptable identity management than has hitherto been provided.
