Abstract
A speech recognition and control system including a receiver for receiving an audio input, an event detector for analyzing the audio input and identifying at least one event of the audio input, a recognizer for interpreting at least a portion of the audio input, a database including a plurality of rules, and a controller for generating a control command based on the at least one event and at least one rule.
Claims37
A speech recognition and control system, comprising:
- a receiver for receiving an audio input;
- an event detector for analyzing the audio input and identifying at least one event of the audio input;
- a recognizer for interpreting at least a portion of the audio input;
- a database including a plurality of rules;
- and
- a controller for generating a control command based on the at least one event and at least one rule.
A speech recognition and control system, comprising:
- a receiver for receiving an audio input;
- a processor in communication with said receiver;
- software executing on said processor for analyzing the audio input and identifying at least one event of the audio input;
- a database in communication with said processor, said database including a plurality of rules;
- and
- software executing on said processor for implementing an action based on the at least one event, and at least one rule and a system status.
A method of mitigating hazards in a voice-driven control system, comprising the steps of:
- receiving an audio input;
- identifying at least one event of the audio input;
- determining a system status;
- determining whether a hazard mitigation action is necessary based on the at least one event, the system status, and at least one rule;
- and
- generating a control command based on the at least one event, the system status, and the at least one rule.
A speech recognition and control system, comprising:
- one or more devices for receiving an audio input and converting the audio input into digital data;
- an event detector for identifying at least one event of the device or the audio in- put;
- a recognizer for interpreting at least a portion of the audio input;
- a database including a plurality of rules;
- and
- a controller for generating a control command based on the at least one event and at least one rule.
