Abstract
A device may identify terms in a speech signal using speech recognition. The device may further retain one or more of the identified terms by comparing them to a set of words and send the retained terms and information associated with the retained terms to a remote device. The device may also receive messages that are related to the retained terms and to the information associated with the retained terms from the remote device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- monitoring a speech signal produced from utterances received via a microphone of a client device;
- identifying, by the client device, a plurality of terms contained in the speech signal,
- retaining, by the client device, one or more of the identified terms by comparing the identified terms to a set of filtering terms;
- storing, by the client device, corresponding information for each of the retained terms including:
- an indication of a number of the utterances of the retained term,
- chronological information recorded for each of the utterances, and
- geographical information determined for each of the utterances;
- sending, by the client device based on a request received from a remote device, a subset of the retained terms, based on and the corresponding information associated with the subset of the retained terms, to one or more components of the remote device;
- and
- receiving, by the client device, messages, related to one or more of the subset of the retained terms and related to the corresponding information associated with the one or more of the subset of the retained terms, from the one or more components of the remote device.
7 more elements
A client device comprising:
- a speech recognition engine that identifies terms, in a particular communication, received via a microphone, at the client device;
- a filter that filters one or more of the identified terms to obtain filtered terms;
- a database for recording information related to the filtered terms, including:
- multiple instances of one or more of the filtered terms in the particular communication,
- a time at which the one or more of the filtered terms occurs in the particular communication, and
- a geographical location of the client device during the particular communication;
- a storing unit that stores the filtered terms and the recorded information associated with the filtered terms;
- a processor to retrieve a subset of the filtered terms based on at least two of:
- the recorded multiple instances corresponding to the subset of the filtered terms,
- the recorded times corresponding to the subset of the filtered terms or
- the recorded geographical information for the subset of the filtered terms;
- and
- a communication interface to:
- send the subset of the filtered terms and the recorded information associated with the subset of the filtered terms, from the client device, to a remote device;
- and
- receive messages, related to one or more of the subset of the filtered terms and related to at least some of the recorded information associated with the one or more of the subset of the filtered terms, from the remote device.

A client device comprising:
- means for identifying a plurality of terms in a speech signal, received by the client device, during a monitored communication;
- means for retaining one or more of the identified terms by comparing the identified terms to a set of words;
- means for storing corresponding information, for each of the retained terms, including
- a recorded number of occurrences during the monitored communication,
- a recorded time, during the monitored communication, for each of the occurrences, and
- one or more geographical locations of the client device during the monitored communication;
- means for sending particular ones of the retained terms and the corresponding information associated with the particular ones of the retained terms, to an advertisement server;
- and
- means for receiving, from the advertisement server, advertisements that are related to one or more of the particular ones of the retained terms and related to at least some of the corresponding information associated with the one or more of the particular ones of the retained terms.
