Appeal No. 1995-3030 Page 9 Application No. 08/073,091 operating a second transducer for converting, in parallel with the step of converting a user's speech, the user's handwriting to a second signal; combining with a digital data processor the first signal and the second signal to generate a third signal .... Further similarly, claims 85 and 86 specify in pertinent part the following limitations: a user interface having a first input coupled to an output of a speech transducer means and a second input coupled to an output of a handwriting transducer means, for receiving signals therefrom and for converting the signals to a first multi- dimensional representation of a speech signal and to a second multi-dimensional representation of a handwriting signal; a first likelihood estimator, having an input coupled to said first multi-dimensional representation of the speech signal, for generating, in accordance with an associated first word model and in response to the first multi-dimensional representation, a first list comprised of one or more probable words that the first multi-dimensional representation may represent; a second likelihood estimator, having an input coupled to said second multi-dimensional representation of the handwriting signal, for generating, in accordance with an associated second word model and in response to the second multi- dimensional representation, a second list comprised of one or more probable words that the second multi- dimensional representation may represent;Page: Previous 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
