Abstract
A method and system of speech recognition presented by a back channel from multiple user sites within a network supporting cable television and/or video delivery is disclosed.
Claims42
A method of using a back channel containing a multiplicity of speech channels from a multiplicity of user devices presented to a speech recognition system in a network supporting content delivery for speech directed information delivery, comprising the steps of:
- partitioning a received back channel containing a multiplicity of speech channels from a multiplicity of user devices into a multiplicity of received identified speech channels;
- processing said multiplicity of received identified speech channels to create recognized speech for each of said received identified speech channels;
- and
- transmitting a unique response to each of said user devices, based upon said recognized speech.
- receiving speech information at a first device, wherein said first device is a wireless device;
- transferring said speech information from said first wireless device via a first network path to a speech recognition engine;
- and
- at said speech recognition engine, recognizing said speech information and effecting information delivery to a second device via a second network path.
A method for speech directed information delivery, comprising:
- receiving speech information at a first device, wherein said first device is a wireless device;
- transferring said speech information, after processing to complete the initial stages of speech recognition, from said first device via a first network path to a speech recognition engine;
- and
- at said speech recognition engine, performing further processing to complete the recognition of said speech information and effecting information delivery to said first device via a second network path;
- wherein said first network path and said second network paths are different.
A method for speech directed information delivery, comprising:
- receiving speech information at a first device, wherein said first device is a wireless device;
- performing speech recognition at said first device;
- transferring said recognized speech information from said first device via a first network path to a source of information;
- and
- effecting information delivery to said first device via a second network path;
- wherein said first network path and said second network paths are different.
A method for speech directed information delivery, comprising:
- receiving speech information at a first device, wherein said first device is a wireless device;
- transferring said speech information from said first device via a first network path to a speech recognition engine;
- and
- at said speech recognition engine, performing processing to recognize said speech information and effecting information delivery to said first device via a second network path;
- wherein said first network path and said second network paths are different.
