    摘要: Systems and methods for providing location based voice recognition include receiving, through a first microphone, an audio signal from a first user that includes an audio command requesting a service that requires user authorization before access to at least a portion of the service is granted. The user authorization is based on voice recognition (e.g., voice authentication and/or voice identification) of the audio signal. The source location of the audio signal is determined and a user location of the first user is determined. If the source location of the audio signal correlates with the user location, voice recognition on the audio signal may be performed. The first user may be authorized to access the service based on the voice recognition performed on the audio signal.

    摘要: A system includes a microphone providing input to a voice user interface (VUI), a motion sensor providing input to a gesture-based user interface (GBI), an audio output device, and a processor in communication with the VUI, the GBI, and the audio output device. The processor detects a predetermined gesture input to the GBI, and in response to the detection, decreases the volume of audio being output by the audio output device and activates the VUI to listen for a command. A system includes an audio output device for providing audible output from a virtual personal assistant (VPA), a motion sensor input to a gesture-based user interface (GBI), and a processor in communication with the VPA and the GBI. The processor, upon receiving an input from the GBI after the audio output device provided output from the VPA, forwards the input received from the GBI to the VPA.

    摘要: The present invention provides a speech recognition system combined with one or more alternate input modalities to ensure efficient and accurate text input. The speech recognition system achieves less than perfect accuracy due to limited processing power, environmental noise, and/or natural variations in speaking style. The alternate input modalities use disambiguation or recognition engines to compensate for reduced keyboards, sloppy input, and/or natural variations in writing style. The ambiguity remaining in the speech recognition process is mostly orthogonal to the ambiguity inherent in the alternate input modality, such that the combination of the two modalities resolves the recognition errors efficiently and accurately. The invention is especially well suited for mobile devices with limited space for keyboards or touch-screen input.

    摘要: A voice command device (VCD) has privacy protection. The VCD comprises a processor, first and second input devices, at least one data line to couple the first and second input devices to the processor, a power supply, and a sensor power line to couple the first and second input devices to the power supply. The VCD also comprises a manually operated mechanical switch on the sensor power line, to divide the sensor power line into a first leg comprising the power supply and a second leg comprising the input devices. The VCD also comprises an active sensor indicator light on the second leg of the sensor power line. The indicator light is configured to indicate whether the input devices are operational, based on a power level of the second leg of the sensor power line. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
