Abstract
Systems and methods are presented for recognizing and responding to voice commands at a local system and selectively streaming audio to a network-based computing system to recognize voice commands when the user provides a specific voice command to stream to the network-based computing system and/or when the user provides a voice command that is not recognizable by the local system.
Claims36
An electronic device, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having information stored thereon, the information comprising a plurality of command phrases,
- wherein each of the plurality of command phrases is associated with a respective command instruction;
- a network transceiver;
- and
- an electrical circuit in communication with the storage medium and the network transceiver, the electrical circuit configured to
- receive an audio signal,
- monitor the audio signal to determine a presence of at least one of the command phrases, and
- provide the respective command instruction associated with the detected command phrase,
- wherein a first command phrase of the plurality of command phrases is associated with a respective command instruction to cause the network transceiver to transmit the audio signal, and
- wherein a second command phrase of the plurality of command phrases is associated with a respective command instruction configured to executed by the portable electronic device without transmission of the audio signal.

A method comprising:
- monitoring, by an electronic device, an audio signal;
- comparing, for a predetermined time period by the electronic device, the audio signal to a plurality of predetermined command phrases stored on the electronic device;
- detecting, by the electronic device, a first command phrase of the plurality of command phrases in the audio signal;
- based upon the comparison, executing, by the electronic device, a first command instruction associated with the first command phrase without the audio signal being transmitted from the electronic device;
- detecting, by the electronic device, a second command phrase of the plurality of command phrases in the audio signal;
- and
- based upon the comparison, transmitting, by the electronic device, to an external network, in response to detecting the second command phrase, the audio signal.
