20150065199 | MOBILE PHONE WITH VARIABLE ENERGY CONSUMING SPEECH RECOGNITION MODULE - Apparatus, computer-readable storage medium, and method associated with speech recognition are described. In embodiments, a mobile phone may include a processor; and a speech recognition module coupled with the processor. The voice recognition module may be configured to recognize one or more voice commands and may include first echo cancellation logic and second echo cancellation logic to be selectively employed during recognition of voice commands. Employment of the first and second echo cancellation logic respectively may cause the mobile phone to variably consume a first and second amount of energy, with the second amount of energy being less than the first amount energy. | 03-05-2015 |
20150098578 | CANCELLATION OF INTERFERING AUDIO ON A MOBILE DEVICE - Generally, this disclosure provides devices, systems and methods for cancelling an interfering audio signal. The system may include a mobile device including a microphone configured to capture an acoustic audio signal, the acoustic audio signal a combination of the interfering audio signal and a desired audio signal, the desired audio signal generated by a user of the mobile device. The system may also include a wireless communication module incorporated in the mobile device, to receive a reference signal through a side-channel, the reference signal associated with the interfering audio signal. The system may further include an acoustic echo cancellation module incorporated in the mobile device, the acoustic echo cancellation module to cancel the interfering audio signal from the captured acoustic audio signal, the cancellation based on the reference signal. | 04-09-2015 |
20150179189 | PERFORMING AUTOMATED VOICE OPERATIONS BASED ON SENSOR DATA REFLECTING SOUND VIBRATION CONDITIONS AND MOTION CONDITIONS - Systems and methods may provide for determining a sound vibration condition of an ambient environment of a wearable device and determining a motion condition of the wearable device. In addition, one or more automated voice operations may be performed based at least in part on the sound vibration condition and the motion condition. In one example, two or more signals corresponding to the sound vibration condition and the motion condition may be combined. | 06-25-2015 |
20150187369 | INTELLIGENT ANCILLARY ELECTRONIC DEVICE - In one example a controller comprises logic, at least partially including hardware logic, configured to detect a key phrase in a received audio signal, and in response to the key phrase, to transmit a signal to a personal assistant in a remote electronic device, determine whether an audio input was received, and in response to a determination that additional audio input was received prior to receiving a response from the personal assistant in the remote electronic device, to buffer the audio input in a memory and forward the audio input to the personal assistant in the remote electronic device. Other examples may be described. | 07-02-2015 |
20150189072 | INTELLIGENT ANCILLARY ELECTRONIC DEVICE - In one example a controller comprises logic, at least partially including hardware logic, configured to receive a signal from a remote electronic device, and in response to the signal, to present an announcement of an incoming call on the remote device, receive an instruction for the incoming call, and in response to a determination that the instruction is a greeting, to buffer the greeting, instruct the remote electronic device to connect the call, and present the greeting on the call. Other examples may be described. | 07-02-2015 |
20150189683 | INTELLIGENT WIRELESS CHARGING DEVICE - In one example a base station for an electronic device comprises a charging station, an audio interface, logic, at least partially including hardware logic, configured to detect a first electronic device within a geographic region proximate the charging device, and in response to detecting the first electronic device | 07-02-2015 |
20150221307 | TRANSITION FROM LOW POWER ALWAYS LISTENING MODE TO HIGH POWER SPEECH RECOGNITION MODE - Disclosed are embodiments for seamless, single-step, and speech-triggered transition of a host processor and/or computing device from a low functionality mode to a high functionality mode in which full vocabulary speech recognition can be accomplished. First audio samples are captured by a low power audio processor while the host processor is in a low functionality mode. The low power audio processor may identify a predetermined audio pattern. The low power audio processor, upon identifying the predetermined audio pattern, triggers the host processor to transition to a high functionality mode. An end portion of the first audio samples that follow an end-point of the predetermined audio pattern may be stored in system memory accessible by the host processor. Second audio samples are captured and stored with the end portion of the first audio samples. Once the host processor transitions to a high functionality mode, multi-channel full vocabulary speech recognition can be performed and functions can be executed based on detected speech interaction phrases. | 08-06-2015 |
20150245154 | MECHANISM AND APPARATUS FOR SEAMLESS VOICE WAKE AND SPEAKER VERIFICATION - Technologies are described herein that allow a user to wake up a computing device operating in a low-power state and for the user to be verified by speaking a single wake phrase. Wake phrase recognition is performed by a low-power engine. In some embodiments, the low-power engine may also perform speaker verification. In other embodiments, the mobile device wakes up after a wake phrase is recognized and a component other than the low-power engine performs speaker verification on a portion of the audio input comprising the wake phrase. More than one wake phrases may be associated with a particular user, and separate users may be associated with different wake phrases. Different wake phrases may cause the device transition from a low-power state to various active states. | 08-27-2015 |
