Language data storage and reproduction apparatus
First Claim
1. A language data storage and reproduction apparatus, comprising:
- a language data inputting section for inputting a series of language data as an electric signal string;
a tag application section for automatically applying to each of the language data inputted from said language data inputting section a tag representative of a distribution position of the language data in the entire series of language data;
a data recognition section for producing a plurality of recognition data sets, wherein each recognition data set corresponds to a portion of said electric signal string, and each recognition data set contains a plurality of candidates for recognition of said language data, wherein each of the candidates of one recognition data set corresponds to the same portion of said electric signal string as the other candidates in said one recognition data set, and wherein each of the candidates of said one recognition data set is different from any other candidate in said one recognition data set;
a storage section for storing the recognition data sets together with the language data to which the tags are applied with reference to the tags;
a retrieval key inputting section for inputting a word or a phrase by means of keys;
a key retrieval section for retrieving that one of the recognition data sets having a candidate which is coincident with the word or phrase inputted from said retrieval key inputting section from within said storage section and outputting the tag corresponding to the retrieved recognition data set as a retrieval result;
a data extraction section for referring to the tag of the retrieval result of said key retrieval section to extract the language data designated by the tag from said storage section; and
a language data reproduction section for reproducing the language data extracted by said data extraction section.

Abstract
The invention provides a language data storage and reproduction apparatus wherein manual application of a tag is unnecessary and, even if key inputting for retrieval is not accurate, object language data can be reproduced. A tag application section automatically applies to each language data inputted from a language data inputting section a tag representative of a distribution position of the language data in the entire language data, and a data recognition section performs data recognition processing of the individual language data to obtain recognition data. A storage section stores the recognition data together with the language data to which the tags are applied with reference to the tags. If a word or a phrase to be retrieved is inputted, a key retrieval section retrieves recognition data coincident with the word or the phrase from within the storage section. When the tag corresponding to the retrieved recognition data is outputted as a retrieval result, a data extraction section extracts the language data designated by the tag from the storage section. A language data reproduction section reproduces the language data extracted by the data extraction section.

5. A language data storage and reproduction apparatus comprising:
-
a language data inputting section for inputting an electric signal string representative of language data; a data recognition section for producing a plurality of recognition data sets, wherein each recognition data set corresponds to a portion of said electric signal string, and each recognition data set contains a plurality of candidates for recognizing said language data, wherein each of the candidates of one recognition data set corresponds to the same portion of said electric signal string as the other candidates in said one recognition data set, and wherein each of the candidates of said one recognition data set is different from any other candidate in said one recognition data set; a storage section for storing each recognition data set together with the corresponding portion of said electric signal string; an inputting section for inputting a desired word or phrase to be retrieved; a retrieval section for comparing the desired word or phrase to said plurality of candidates in said recognition data sets, and for retrieving the recognition data set which contains the candidate most closely matched to the desired word or phrase; a reproduction section for reproducing the segment of language data which corresponds to the recognition data set retrieved by the retrieval section. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
