Abstract
Presented are improvements for speech recognition systems used to control devices. Features include two-stage confirmation, two-stage limited speech recognition mode, and two-stage wake-up for speech driven applications and systems. A headset computer device includes such staged confirmation operation.
Claims20
A method of speech control in a computer application, comprising:
- given a headset computer having a microphone and a display, receiving a sound input via the microphone;
- processing the sound input using a speech recognition engine coupled to the headset computer, said processing including the speech recognition engine interpreting the sound input to be a command for an action having a level of criticality that meets or exceeds a threshold level of criticality;
- and
- in response to the processed sound input:
- (i) displaying a first dialog box on the display, and
- (ii) conditioning headset computer performance of the action on a user making a first confirmatory utterance corresponding to a prompt in the first dialog box.
3 more elements
A speech control apparatus comprising:
- given a headset computer having a display and a microphone configured to receive a sound input;
- a speech recognition engine configured to interpret the sound input and as part of that interpretation to determine whether the sound input is a command for an action having a level of criticality that meets or exceeds a threshold level of criticality, said command being a critical command;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the speech recognition engine, and in response to a determination by the speech recognition engine that a sound input is a critical command, configured to:
- (i) display a first dialog box on the display, and
- (ii) condition headset computer performance of the action on a user making a first confirmatory utterance corresponding to a prompt in the first dialog box.
- the sound input using a speech recognition engine coupled to the headset computer, said processing including and
