System for updating and outputting speech data
First Claim
1. A method for updating speech data supplied with an application, the method comprising:
- generating a sequence of first segment designators that designate at least one first digitized speech segment of first speech data to define speech;
generating a first sequence identifier to identify the sequence of the first segment designators;
providing second data comprising at least one second digitized speech segment, which are designated by at least one second segment designator identified by a second sequence identifier;
comparing with a computer the first sequence identifier with the second sequence identifier to determine compatibility, where the sequence of the first segment designator partially matches the second sequence identifier; and
adding the second digitized speech data to the first digitized speech data in memory when the second sequence identifier indicates compatibility with the first sequence identifier.

Abstract
A system for outputting speech from speech data that may include an application, an internal speech data module, and an external speech data module is provided. The internal speech module stores default speech data that defines which speech data is compatible with the application. The external speech module, which may include a data carrier, may provide optional speech data, including a sequence identifier, separately from the application. To determine whether optional speech data fits the application, the application generates a sequence of one or more segment designators designating speech segments, and associating with them a sequence identifier. The application may also compare the sequence identifier generated by the application with that of the optional speech data. If a predetermined result occurs, the optional speech data may be used. Otherwise, the default speech data may be used. This method may be used to update default speech data with optional speech data.
