Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
In a method for recording voices of a plurality of speakers and for enabling later identification of each voice with the proper corresponding speaker, the steps of: producing voice signals representative of said voices and recording said voice signals upon a sound storage medium; producing a plurality of identifiably different voiceidentification signals, one for each of said speakers; and separately recording on said sound storage medium, continuously througout each time one of said voice signals produced by one of said speakers is being recorded, that one of said different voice-identification signals corresponding to the voice then speaking, in a manner to permit electrical separation of said voice-identification signals from said recorded voice signals upon later reproduction of signals on said storage medium, thereby to enable continuous identification of the speaker during reproduction of each voice signal without the interference with the sound of each voice by the voiceidentification signals.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
In a method for recording voices of a plurality of speakers and for enabling later identification of each voice with the proper corresponding speaker, the steps of: producing voice signals representative of said voices and recording said voice signals upon a sound storage medium; producing a plurality of identifiably different voiceidentification signals, one for each of said speakers; and separately recording on said sound storage medium, continuously througout each time one of said voice signals produced by one of said speakers is being recorded, that one of said different voice-identification signals corresponding to the voice then speaking, in a manner to permit electrical separation of said voice-identification signals from said recorded voice signals upon later reproduction of signals on said storage medium, thereby to enable continuous identification of the speaker during reproduction of each voice signal without the interference with the sound of each voice by the voiceidentification signals.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said recording comprises recording on two different storage tracks, one for said voice signals and one for said voice-identification signals.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said recording comprises recording on different storage tracks, at least one for said voice signals and at least one other track for said voice-identification signals.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said producing of voice-identification signals comprises producing oscillations in different frequency ranges, each range corresponding to a particular one of said speakers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 comprising producing a visual indication of which voice-identification signal is being recorded at any time.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
45 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 comprising reproducing said voice signals and their corresponding voice-identification signals from said storage medium, and discriminating among said reproduced voice-identification signals to produce a visual indication of the identity of the speaker whose voice is being played back.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
114 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said producing of said voice-identification signals compriSes producing oscillations in different frequency ranges, each range corresponding to a particular one of said speakers, and said method comprising reproducing said voice signals and their corresponding voice-identification signals from said storage medium, and discriminating among said reproduced voice-identification signals to produce a visual indication of the identity of the speaker whose voice is being played back, said discriminating comprising applying said voice identification signals to a plurality of frequency-selective filter means each passing voice-identification signals in only one of said ranges, and producing a different visual display depending upon which of said filter means is passing voice-identification signals.
