Abstract
A computing device detects a user viewing the computing device and outputs a cue if the user is detected to view the computing device. The computing device receives an audio input from the user if the user continues to view the computing device for a predetermined amount of time.
Claims15
A computing device comprising:
- a sensor to detect a user viewing the computing device;
- an output component to output a cue if the user is detected to view the computing device;
- and
- a controller to receive an audio input from the user with an audio input component if the sensor detects the user continuing to view the computing device in association with the cue being outputted for a predetermined amount of time.
1 more element
A method for receiving audio input comprising:
- detecting a user viewing a computing device with a sensor;
- outputting a cue with an output component if the user is viewing the computing device;
- determining if the user is viewing the output component for a predetermined amount of time;
- and
- launching a listening mode of the computing device to receive an audio input from the user if the user is viewing the output component for the predetermined amount of time.
2 more elements
A non-volatile computer readable medium comprising instructions that if executed cause a controller to:
- detect a user viewing a computing device with a sensor;
- output a cue with an output component if the user is viewing the computing device;
- detect if the user continues to view the output component for a predetermine amount of time in association with the cue being outputted;
- and
- launch a listening mode of the computing device to receive an audio input from the user if the user is viewing the output component for the predetermine amount of time.
