Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computer system for receiving, by a computing device, a first signal emitted from one or more sources. A second signal may be received emitted from the one or more sources. A first confidence level that the wake-up-word is included in the first signal may be determined. A second confidence level that the wake-up-word is included in the second signal may be determined. It may be identified that the wake-up-word originated from a first source of the one or more sources based upon, at least in part, the first and second confidence levels. The first source may be enabled to participate in a dialogue phase.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a first signal emitted from one or more sources;
- receiving a second signal emitted from the one or more sources;
- determining a first confidence level that the wake-up-word is included in the first signal;
- determining a second confidence level that the wake-up-word is included in the second signal;
- identifying that the wake-up-word originated from a first source of the one or more sources based upon, at least in part, the first and second confidence levels;
- and
- enabling the first source to participate in a dialogue phase.
A computer program product residing on a computer readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed across one or more processors, causes at least a portion of the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a first signal emitted from one or more sources;
- receiving a second signal emitted from the one or more sources;
- determining a first confidence level that the wake-up-word is included in the first signal;
- determining a second confidence level that the wake-up-word is included in the second signal;
- identifying that the wake-up-word originated from a first source of the one or more sources based upon, at least in part, the first and second confidence levels;
- and
- enabling the first source to participate in a dialogue phase.
A computing system including one or more processors and one or more memories configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a first signal emitted from one or more sources;
- receiving a second signal emitted from the one or more sources;
- determining a first confidence level that the wake-up-word is included in the first signal;
- determining a second confidence level that the wake-up-word is included in the second signal;
- identifying that the wake-up-word originated from a first source of the one or more sources based upon, at least in part, the first and second confidence levels;
- and
- enabling the first source to participate in a dialogue phase.
