Abstract
The disclosed subject matter provides a main device and at least one secondary device. The at least one secondary device and the main device may operate in cooperation with one another and other networked components to provide improved performance, such as improved speech and other signal recognition operations. Using the improved recognition results, a higher probability of generating the proper commands to a controllable device is provided.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a trigger input signal;
- in response to the received trigger input signal, outputting a wake-up signal to a secondary device;
- receiving an input signal from the secondary device;
- receiving an input signal from a main device sensor;
- and
- in response to the main device and secondary device input signals, generating a command signal to perform an action related to recognized input signals.
3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a main device including a long-duration power supply, a sensor and a processor configured to:
- receive a trigger input signal from an external source;
- output a wake-up signal to a secondary device;
- receive an input signal from the secondary device;
- receive an input signal from the main device sensor;
- and
- in response to recognizing the main device and the secondary device input signals, generate a command signal to perform an action related to the recognized input signals.
4 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a main device including a long-duration power supply, a sensor and a processor configured to receive inputs and transmit signals, wherein the processor is configured to send a wake-up signal in response to receiving a trigger signal;
- and
- a secondary device including a short-duration power supply, a sensor, a memory, and a processor wherein the processor is configured to, in response to receiving the wake-up signal from the main device, enable transmission of an input signal detected by the sensor.
