Abstract

According to one embodiment, a control method for providing at least one of voice or text corresponding to a brain signal may include: an operation of verifying a user's brainwave; an operation of verifying text corresponding to the user's brainwave; an operation of verifying a usage mode for outputting the text; and, based on verifying that the usage mode is a burst mode, an operation of outputting voice corresponding to the entire verified text or outputting voice corresponding to the result of applying a processing algorithm that does not cause a substantial change in meaning to the verified text.

Description

Method and System for Controlling Voice Output in Response to Brain Signals The present disclosure relates to a voice provision control method and system corresponding to a brain signal. Chang Lab at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and Facebook Reality Labs demonstrated a technology that allows individuals with severe speech disorders to display their thoughts on a screen almost instantly using only their thoughts, and the findings were published in *The New England Journal of Medicine*. UCSF researchers restored a person's communication ability by decoding brain signals sent from the motor cortex to the vocal cords. Notably, users could share words with a computer in real time simply by attempting to speak, without needing to type, and without wearing a head-mounted device. Electronic devices can be implanted in the brain regions that control the vocal cords and can sense neural signals. These devices process neural signals and, based on the processing results, can perform speech detection, word classification, and/or language modeling. Depending on the results, the text the patient intends to speak can be determined, and voice based on the determined text or text-to-speech (TTS) results can be output in real time. The algorithm can be trained to distinguish 50 words and generate over 1,000 sentences. Accordingly, text and/or voice that a user with limited language ability wishes to speak may be provided. FIG. 1 is a drawing for explaining a system according to one embodiment. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the determination of whether to output text and/or voice corresponding to a brain signal according to one embodiment. FIG. 3a is a diagram illustrating a voice provision control method corresponding to a brain signal according to one embodiment. FIG. 3b is a diagram illustrating a voice provision control method corresponding to a brain signal according to one embodiment. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a voice provision control method corresponding to a brain signal according to one embodiment. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a method for controlling the provision of at least one of voice or text corresponding to a brain signal according to one embodiment. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a method for controlling the provision of at least one of voice or text corresponding to a brain signal according to one embodiment. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the contents described in the attached drawings. However, the present invention is not limited or restricted by the exemplary embodiments. Identical reference numerals in each drawing indicate components that perform substantially the same function. It will be understood that embodiments of the present invention may be realized in the form of hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software. Any such software may be stored in a volatile or non-volatile storage device, such as a storage device such as ROM, regardless of whether it is eraseable or rewritable, for example; a memory, such as RAM, a memory chip, a device, or an integrated circuit, for example; or a storage medium that is optically or magnetically writable and simultaneously machine-readable (e.g., computer), such as a CD, DVD, magnetic disk, or magnetic tape, for example. It will be understood that the graphic screen update method of the present invention may be implemented by a computer or a portable terminal comprising a control unit and a memory, and said memory is an example of a machine-readable storage medium suitable for storing a program or programs that includes instructions for implementing embodiments of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention comprises a program including code for implementing a device or method described in any claim of this specification, and a machine-readable storage medium (computer, etc.) that stores such a program. In addition, such programs can be electronically transmitted through any medium, such as communication signals transmitted via wired or wireless connections, and the present invention appropriately includes equivalents thereof. In this specification, the term "electronic device" may be implemented in the form of a portable terminal, a wearable terminal, or a computer, but those skilled in the art will understand that it is not limited to any device capable of providing visual, auditory, and/or tactile content. In one example, the electronic device may perform at least some of the operations performed by various embodiments of the present disclosure without connection to other external electronic devices (which may be referred to as a stand-alone type). For example, the electronic device may store an application for a stand-alone type and may perform at least some of the operations performed by various embodiments of the present disclosure by executing the stored application. In another example, the electronic devi
