Pattern recognition apparatus with retrieval reference patterns
First Claim
1. A pattern recognition apparatus comprising:
- input means for receiving a plurality of input speech patterns;
a plurality of pattern memory sections each for storing a set of reference speech patterns;
selection means for selecting one of said pattern memory sections;
recognition means, responsive to a first input speech pattern, for recognizing said first input speech pattern as being identical to one of said set of reference patterns stored in said selected pattern memory section which has the closest similarity to said first input speech pattern, in a recognition mode; and
registration means, responsive to a second input speech pattern, for registering a new set of reference patterns in a registration mode, said registration means including modifying means for copying a reference pattern set stored in a first one of said pattern memory sections into a second one of said pattern memory sections and for modifying only said copied reference pattern set stored in said second pattern memory section, as the new reference pattern set.

Abstract
A pattern recognition apparatus includes a pattern memory unit for storing a pattern set constituted by a plurality of reference patterns and a comparison unit for comparing an input pattern with each reference pattern stored in the pattern memory unit in the recognition mode. In the pattern recognition apparatus, the pattern memory unit includes first and second pattern memory sections, a switch is provided to select one of the first and second pattern memory sections, the comparison unit is constituted to compare the input pattern with a desired reference pattern stored in one of the pattern memory sections which is selected by the switch in the registration mode, and a pattern modifying unit is provided to copy the pattern set stored in one of the pattern memory sections which is selected by the switch into the other pattern memory section in the registration mode, and modify the desired reference pattern in one of the first and second pattern memory sections according to the comparison result obtained from the comparison unit.
