00100 Protocol for KIKAKU(key kah coo)
00200
00300 Program should be accessable over the phone. One simply dials the number
00400 and is greeted by the words "This is KI KA KU speaking. Have you talked to me
00500 before? Reply OUI OUI OUI (we we we) or NO."
00550 If the reply is OUI OUI OUI the program then asks "What is your name?",
00600 if NO the program then prompts "Reply to my question by saying "My
00700 name is" followed by your name."
00800 The reason for asking for the name before any learning is, of course,
00900 purely showmanship since this will impress the user as being harder than
01000 it realy is. Actually verification, as this is, requires only N compares
01100 where N is the number of people involved and is much easier than
01200 identification where one attempts to identify an individual and prevent
01300 unautherized use. Here if a false identification is made it would be of
01400 little value to the speaker since the system would undoubtedly fail almost
01500 at once. >or the new speaker, the program would ask that some simple
01600 sentense be repeated, perhaps "He heard who had hocked it" from which it
01700 would attempt to go right ahead with some meaningful conversation. A certain
01800 fraction of the time it would be successful but if it were not it would ask
01900 for repeats and perhaps ask that other test sentences be repeated.
