Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An input speech signal is splitted into a time section and generating the splitted signal as a speech vector and LPC coefficient sets are developed by linear prediction analysis for every time section of the speech vector. The speech vector is weighted based on the developed LPC coefficient sets, then a plurality of the weighted speech vectors are connected and the connected speech vector having a predetermined frame length is generated. An excitation codevector whose weighted synthesized signal is the most similar to the weighted speech vector is determined among from a plurality of excitation vectors each having the frame length which are previously stored as a sound source. A plurality …

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 23, 1993 and granted August 4, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 23, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 23, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
