Patent ID: 8438027

Claim:
A voice edition apparatus, of a mobile terminal, that uses existing voice data to generate another voice data, comprising: a standard pattern database that is stored in the mobile terminal, the standard pattern database storing the existing voice data as a plurality of predefined standard patterns, each standard pattern representing a plurality of words in a sequence; a modifying-part specifying unit that performs a matching process between usage-source voice data among the existing voice data and modifying-part voice data for specifying a modifying part of the usage-source voice data, and specifies at least a part of the usage-source voice data as the modifying part, wherein the usage-source voice data represents a plurality of words in a sequence; and a voice data generating unit that uses the modifying-part voice data specified by the modifying-part specifying unit to generate another voice data as another standard pattern representing a new plurality of words in a sequence not present in the standard pattern database, wherein a sequence of words within the usage-source voice data is identical to a sequence of words within the another standard pattern, the sequence of words within the usage-source voice data being a subset of said plurality of words in a sequence, and the sequence of words within the another standard pattern being a subset of said new plurality of words in a sequence not present in the standard pattern database, the another standard pattern including a further subset sequence of words that does not match the usage-source voice data, wherein the standard pattern database is updated by storing the another voice data in the standard pattern database.
