20120182381 | Auto Focus - A method of controlling a user interface to display participants of a call in dependence upon the participants' speech activity in the call, the method including monitoring the speech activity of the participants in the call and determining whether a participant is an active participant or an inactive participant in dependence on the participants' speech activity over a minimum time period of the call. In response to determining whether a participant is an active or inactive participant, an active participant is displayed in a first area of the user interface and an inactive participant is displayed in a second area of the user interface. The first area of the user interface is larger than the second area of the user interface. | 07-19-2012 |
20130078960 | DIVIDED CALL HISTORY USER INTERFACE - A computing device displays a call history graphical user interface (GUI). The call history GUI includes a new list and an old list. The new list may include new missed call elements and missed call elements associated with new unopened voicemails. The old list may include other call history GUI elements, such as old missed call elements and missed call elements associated with opened voicemails. | 03-28-2013 |
20130085753 | Hybrid Client/Server Speech Recognition In A Mobile Device - A computing device is able to use an embedded speech recognizer and a network speech recognizer for speech recognition. In response to detecting speech in the captured audio, the computing device may forward the captured audio to its embedded speech recognizer and to a speech client for the network speech recognizer. The embedded speech recognizer provides an embedded-recognizer result for the captured audio. If a network-recognition criterion is met, the speech client forwards the captured audio to the network speech recognizer and receives a network-recognizer result for the captured audio from the network speech recognizer. A speech recognition result for the captured audio is forwarded to at least one application, wherein the speech recognition result is based on at least one of the embedded-recognizer result and the network-recognizer result. | 04-04-2013 |
20130085755 | Systems And Methods For Continual Speech Recognition And Detection In Mobile Computing Devices - The present application describes systems, articles of manufacture, and methods for continuous speech recognition for mobile computing devices. One embodiment includes determining whether a mobile computing device is receiving operating power from an external power source or a battery power source, and activating a trigger word detection subroutine in response to determining that the mobile computing device is receiving power from the external power source. In some embodiments, the trigger word detection subroutine operates continually while the mobile computing device is receiving power from the external power source. The trigger word detection subroutine includes determining whether a plurality of spoken words received via a microphone includes one or more trigger words, and in response to determining that the plurality of spoken words includes at least one trigger word, launching an application corresponding to the at least one trigger word included in the plurality of spoken words. | 04-04-2013 |
20130085761 | Voice Control For Asynchronous Notifications - A computing device may receive an incoming communication and, in response, generate a notification that indicates that the incoming communication can be accessed using a particular application on the communication device. The computing device may further provide an audio signal indicative of the notification and automatically activate a listening mode. The computing device may receive a voice input during the listening mode, and an input text may be obtained based on speech recognition performed upon the voice input. A command may be detected in the input text. In response to the command, the computing device may generate an output text that is based on at least the notification and provide a voice output that is generated from the output text via speech synthesis. The voice output identifies at least the particular application. | 04-04-2013 |

20150074003 | SYNCHRONIZING PASSENGER CHECK-IN WITH THE LOCAL CACHING OF CLOUD-BASED MEDIA ON A VEHICLE - Cloud-based media can be locally cached at a vehicle in which a user will travel. The media may be accessed by an authorized user during an authorized period that can be based upon vehicle status, such as vehicle speed or altitude. When the authorized period expires, the media stored at the vehicle can be deleted. | 03-12-2015 |
