Apparatus and method for remotely diagnosing laryngeal disorder/laryngeal state using speech codec
First Claim
1. An apparatus for diagnosing laryngeal disorder/laryngeal state using a speech codec, comprising:
- a user information/speech codec information collecting means for collecting user information and a speech codec information which is used in an external device through an external network;
a parameter extracting means for extracting a diagnosis parameter in bitstream transmitted from the network based on the speech codec information collected in the user information/speech codec information collecting means;
a storing means for pre-storing a diagnosis parameter considering the type of the speech codec and a bit rate;
a parameter comparing means for comparing the diagnosis parameter extracted from the parameter extracting means with the information of the storing means based on the speech codec information; and
a laryngeal disorder/laryngeal state determining means for diagnosing presence of laryngeal disorder/laryngeal state based on the comparison result obtained in the parameter comparing means.

Abstract
Provided is an apparatus and method for remotely diagnosing laryngeal disorder/laryngeal state by using the speech codec. The apparatus provides a remote larynx diagnosing apparatus and method deciding laryngeal disorder/laryngeal state by using parameters, such as a Linear Prediction Coefficient (LPC) and a pitch, which are transmitted from a system using a speech codec. The apparatus includes a user information/speech codec information collecting block; a parameter extracting block for extracting the diagnosis parameter in bitstream transmitted from the network; a storing block for pre-storing a diagnosis parameter considering the type of the speech codec and a bit rate; a parameter comparing block for comparing the diagnosis parameter extracted from the parameter extracting block with the information of storing block; and a laryngeal disorder/laryngeal state determining block for diagnosing presence of laryngeal disorder/laryngeal state.

6. A method for remotely diagnosing laryngeal disorder/laryngeal state, comprising the steps of:
-
a) collecting user information and speech codec information which is used in an external device according to the setup of a call with an external user terminal;
b) receiving data converted into bitstream in a speech codec of the user terminal by requesting speech data to the user terminal;
c) acquiring a diagnosis parameter from the bitstream;
d) comparing the acquired diagnosis parameter with information pre-established in a database considering a type of the speech codec and a bit rate; and
e) determining presence of a laryngeal disorder/laryngeal state by analyzing the comparison result based on a mean value and individual deviation to thereby produce a diagnosis result. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
