Abstract

Embodiments of the invention include a context sensitive adaptive digital assistant for personalized interaction. Embodiments of the invention also include a spoken genome for characterization and analysis of human voice. Aspects of the invention include selecting a starter vocabulary, receiving voice communications from a user, and modifying the starter vocabulary to generate a personalized lexicon. Aspects of the invention also include analyzing and categorizing human voice according to a plurality of characteristics, and creating a spoken genome database.

Claims (23)

1. A processing system for characterization and analysis of human voice comprising:

a processor in communication with one or more types of memory, the processor configured to:

receive a first reference voice sampling, wherein the first reference voice sampling comprises a plurality of reference voices corresponding to a first known reference quality;

analyze the first reference voice sampling to determine a spoken genome property corresponding to the first known reference quality;

receive a target voice input corresponding to a candidate;

determine a spoken genome property of the target voice input;

compare the spoken genome property of the target voice to the spoken genome property corresponding to the first known reference quality;

determine whether the candidate corresponds to the first known reference quality; and

output the determination of whether the candidate corresponds to the first known reference quality to a display.

2. The processing system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to output the spoken genome property corresponding to the first known reference quality.

3. The processing system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to receive a second reference voice sampling.

4. The processing system of claim 3 , wherein the second reference voice sampling comprises a plurality of reference voices corresponding to a second known reference quality.

5. The processing system of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to analyze the second voice sampling to determine a spoken genome property corresponding to the second known reference quality.

6. The processing system of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate a spoken genome database.

7. The processing system of claim 6 , wherein the spoken genome database comprises a first bin comprising the first known reference quality and the spoken genome property corresponding to the first known reference quality.

8. The processing system of claim 7 , wherein the spoken genome database further comprises a second bin comprising the second known reference quality and the spoken genome property corresponding to the second known reference quality.

9. The processing system of claim 1 , wherein the spoken genome property is pitch.

10. The processing system of claim 1 , wherein the spoken genome property is cadence.

11. The processing system of claim 1 , wherein the spoken genome property is tonality.

12. The processing system of claim 1 , wherein the spoken genome property is rhythm.

13. The processing system of claim 1 , wherein the spoken genome property is timing.

14. The processing system of claim 1 , wherein the spoken genome property is elocution.

15. The processing system of claim 1 , wherein the spoken genome property is accent.
