Abstract
A characteristic of one or more human resonating cavities may be utilized to provide information for speech recognition, independent from the actual sounds produced. In one embodiment, information about the changing shape of the human oral cavity may provide information useful in determining the nature of a person's vocalizations for speech recognition purposes.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- detecting a characteristic of a human resonating cavity;
- based on the characteristic, obtaining information about a vocalization corresponding to that characteristic;
- determining if the vocalization is audible or inaudible;
- capturing the vocalization in a first format if the vocalization is audible;
- and
- capturing the vocalization in a second format if the vocalization is inaudible.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a first detector to detect a characteristic of a human resonating cavity;
- a second detector to detect sound associated with the characteristic;
- and
- a controller to obtain information about a vocalization corresponding to the characteristic, determine if the vocalization is audible or inaudible, capture the vocalization in a first format if the vocalization is audible, and capture the vocalization in a second format if the vocalization is inaudible.
1 more element
An article comprising a medium storing instructions that enable a processor-based system to:
- detect a characteristic of a human resonating cavity;
- based on the characteristic, obtain information about a vocalization corresponding to that characteristic;
- determine if the vocalization is audible or inaudible;
- capture the vocalization in a first format if the vocalization is audible;
- and
- capture the vocalization in a second format if the vocalization is inaudible.
