The National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan has filed a patent
infringement lawsuit against Apple claiming that Apple's use of
Siri on the iPhone and (future) iPad, infringe on two of their
patents relating to speech recognition.
The National Cheung Kung University in Taiwan is suing Apple for
alleged patent infringement. The University's Exhibit "A," which
is shown in-part below, is that of a US Granted Patent 7,707,032
titled "Method and System for Matching Speech Data," which was
originally filed in Q4 2005. The filing states that the patent is
generally directed to a system used to determine the similarity
between an input speech data and sample speech data on a touch
device, such as smartphone or tablet. The words "smartphone" or
"tablet" don't appear in the first patent.
Yet the heart of their patent infringement suit is really about
how the iPhone and (future) iPad use the voice activated assistant
capabilities of Siri. To make this absolutely clear, the
University filed a second count of patent infringement against
Apple using a 2007 Granted Patent 7,266,496 titled "Speech
Recognition System."
The University's filing states that "The '496 Patent is generally
directed to a complete speech recognition system having a training
button and a recognition button, and the whole system uses the
application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) architecture for
the design, and also uses the modular design to divide the speech
processing into 4 modules: system control module, autocorrelation
and kinear predictive coefficient module, cepstrum module, and DTW
recognition module as used with the with a device, such as
smartphone or tablet." I'm not a scientist, but the filing may
have erred with listing "kinear predictive" instead of "Linear
Predictive," as "linear predictive" is listed in their patent
abstract noted above.
In both counts, the filing states that to the extent that facts
learned in discovery show that Apple's infringement of their
patents have been willful, the University reserves the right to
request such a finding at time of trial. Willful infringement
usually translates to requesting the court to triple the amount of
the actual/compensatory damages.
The case was filed in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division. The presiding Judge
in this case is noted as being Judge Rodney Gilstrap and referred
to Magistrate Judge Roy S. Payne. The complaint for patent
infringement was filed with the court on Friday, July 27, 2012.
簡單來說：成大在2005年就已經註冊好一項對於觸控語音輸入系統的專利
但沒有明確針對智慧型手機或者是平板電腦的語音輸入就是了，以下有圖：
不過真正侵犯到的專利核心是2007年的這項專利：
這項專利明確的描述了，觸控語音輸入背後的電路系統架構
（這段有電子學上的專業術語，有興趣的可以看原文）
不過成大告蘋果並不是為了錢，成大認為他們擁有此專利的”試驗權“
（reserves the right to request such a finding at time of trial）

老實說我翻的不是很好Orz，所以我在下面有附上原文：

然後樓下的解釋非常的好，感謝m(_ _)m
