Abstract
A system and method of speech recognition involving a mobile device. Speech input is received (202) on a mobile device (102) and converted (204) to a set of phonetic symbols. Data relating to the phonetic symbols is transferred (206) from the mobile device over a communications network (104) to a remote processing device (106) where it is used (208) to identify at least one matching data item from a set of data items (114). Data relating to the at least one matching data item is transferred (210) from the remote processing device to the mobile device and presented (214) thereon.
Claims56
A method of speech recognition involving a mobile device, the method including:
- receiving speech input on a mobile device;
- converting the speech input into a set of phonetic symbols on the mobile device;
- transferring data relating to the phonetic symbols from the mobile device over a communications network to a remote processing device;
- using the data relating to the phonetic symbols on the remote processing device to identify at least one matching data item from a set of data items;
- transferring data relating to the at least one matching data item from the remote processing device to the mobile device;
- and
- presenting data relating to the at least one transferred matching data item using the mobile device.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a mobile device, causes the mobile device to:
- receive speech input on the mobile device;
- convert the speech input into a set of phonetic symbols on the mobile device;
- transfer data relating to the phonetic symbols from the mobile device over a communications network to a remote processing device;
- use the data relating to the phonetic symbols on the remote processing device to identify at least one matching data item from a set of data items;
- transfer data relating to the at least one matching data item from the remote processing device to the mobile device;
- and
- present data relating to the at least one transferred matching data item using the mobile device.
A system adapted to perform speech recognition involving a mobile device, the system including:
- a mobile device configured to receive speech input;
- the mobile device including a device configured to convert the speech input to a set of phonetic symbols on the mobile device;
- the mobile device further configured to transfer data relating to the phonetic symbols to a remote processing device over a communications network;
- the remote processing device including a device configured to use the data relating to the phonetic symbols to identify at least one matching data item from a set of data items;
- the remote device including a communications device configured to transfer data relating to the at least one matching data item to the mobile device over the communications network;
- and
- the mobile device including a device configured to present data relating to the at least one transferred matching data item.
