Tone pattern identifying system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A tone pattern identifying system, comprising:
- means for generating a tone array of successively located tone data serving as a reference theme;
means for externally inputting a tone array of successively located tone data independent of the reference theme tone data; and
comparing means for collating the array of reference theme tone data with the array of inputted tone data by recognizing coincidence between the tone data in said reference theme tone array and the tone data in said inputted tone array at respective corresponding locations in the arrays each time one of these two arrays is shifted in its position relative to the other, and outputting a most closely resembling array of tone data thus recognized.

Abstract
A tone pattern identifying system collates coincidence between tone data of an inputted tone array and tone data of a given reference theme tone array by recognizing such coincidence at corresponding locations between these two tone arrays for each shifting of their relative positions, and outputs at least a most closely resembling tone array as a result of the collation. This system may include means for evaluating the result of collation and means for displaying the result of the evaluation.

19. A tone pattern identifying system, comprising:
-
means for generating a tone array of successively located tone data serving as a reference theme, means for inputting a separate tone array of successively located tone data, comparing means for collating the array of reference theme tone data with the array of inputted tone data, comprising; means for successively shifting the position of one of these two tone data arrays relative to the other, and means, operative at each shift of said shifting means, for comparing coincidence at each array location between the tone data of said two relatively shifted arrays, and means for outputting a most closely resembling array of tone data from the coincidences recognized by said comparing means.
