Abstract: A method of detecting a target keyword for activating a function in an electronic device is disclosed. The method includes receiving an input sound starting from one of the plurality of portions of the target keyword. The input sound may be periodically received based on a duty cycle. The method extracts a plurality of sound features from the input sound, and obtains state information on a plurality of states associated with the portions of the target keyword. Based on the extracted sound features and the state information, the input sound may be detected as the target keyword. The plurality of states includes a predetermined number of entry states indicative of a predetermined number of the plurality of portions.

Abstract: A method, which is performed by an electronic device, for obtaining a speaker-independent keyword model of a keyword designated by a user is disclosed. The method may include receiving at least one sample sound from the user indicative of the keyword. The method may also generate a speaker-dependent keyword model for the keyword based on the at least one sample sound, send a request for the speaker-independent keyword model of the keyword to a server in response to generating the speaker-dependent keyword model, and receive the speaker-independent keyword model adapted for detecting the keyword spoken by a plurality of users from the server.

Abstract: A method for activating a voice assistant function in a mobile device is disclosed. The method includes receiving an input sound stream by a sound sensor and determining a context of the mobile device. The method may determine the context based on the input sound stream. For determining the context, the method may also obtain data indicative of the context of the mobile device from at least one of an acceleration sensor, a location sensor, an illumination sensor, a proximity sensor, a clock unit, and a calendar unit in the mobile device. In this method, a threshold for activating the voice assistant function is adjusted based on the context. The method detects a target keyword from the input sound stream based on the adjusted threshold. If the target keyword is detected, the method activates the voice assistant function.

Abstract: A method of detecting a target keyword from an input sound for activating a function in a mobile device is disclosed. In this method, a first plurality of sound features is received in a buffer, and a second plurality of sound features is received in the buffer. While receiving each of the second plurality of sound features in the buffer, a first number of the sound features are processed from the buffer. The first number of the sound features includes two or more sound features. Further, the method may include determining a keyword score for each of the processed sound features and detecting the input sound as the target keyword if at least one of the keyword scores is greater than a threshold score.
