Abstract
A method include placing a first processor in a sleep operating mode and running a second processor that is operative to wake the first processor from the sleep operating mode in response to a speech command phrase. The method includes identifying, by the second processor, a speech command phrase segment and performing a control operation in response to detecting the segment in detected speech. The control operation is performed while the first processor is maintained in the sleep operating mode.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- during operation of a mobile device in a low-power mode in which functionality of a voice recognition engine of the mobile device is reduced:
- receiving, by data processing hardware of the mobile device, an utterance;
- detecting, by the data processing hardware, an initial portion of a predetermined command phrase in the utterance while a display of the mobile device is turned off, the predetermined command phrase comprising a series of multiple words configured to cause the mobile device to wake-up from the low-power mode in response to detecting each word of the series of multiple words in the utterance;
- and
- in response to detecting the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase in the utterance:
- determining, by the data processing hardware, whether a remaining portion of the predetermined command phrase is detected in the utterance within a first predetermined period of time after detecting the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase in the utterance;
- turning on, by the data processing hardware, the display of the mobile device;
- and
- displaying, by the data processing hardware for output on the display, a reminder message that comprises the series of multiple words of the predetermined command phrase.

A system comprising:
- one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
- during operation of a mobile device in a low-power mode in which functionality of a voice recognition engine of the mobile device is reduced:
- receiving an utterance;
- detecting an initial portion of a predetermined command phrase in the utterance while a display of the mobile device is turned off, the predetermined command phrase comprising a series of multiple words configured to cause the mobile device to wake-up from the low-power mode in response to detecting each word of the series of multiple words in the utterance;
- and
- in response to detecting the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase in the utterance:
- determining whether a remaining portion of the predetermined command phrase is detected in the utterance within a first predetermined period of time after detecting the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase in the utterance;
- turning on the display of the mobile device;
- and
- displaying, for output on the display, a reminder message that comprises the series of multiple words of the predetermined command phrase.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software comprising instructions executable by one or more computers which, upon such execution, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
- during operation of a mobile device in a low-power mode in which functionality of a voice recognition engine of the mobile device is reduced:
- receiving an utterance;
- detecting an initial portion of a predetermined command phrase in the utterance while a display of the mobile device is turned off, the predetermined command phrase comprising a series of multiple words configured to cause the mobile device to wake-up from the low-power mode in response to detecting each word of the series of multiple words in the utterance;
- and
- in response to detecting the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase in the utterance:
- determining whether a remaining portion of the predetermined command phrase is detected in the utterance within a first predetermined period of time after detecting the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase in the utterance;
- turning on the display of the mobile device;
- and
- displaying, for output on the display, a reminder message that comprises the series of multiple words of the predetermined command phrase.
