ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17871711 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a user interface, processor, and memory. The device is capable of identifying a modified hotword (a specific word or phrase used to activate a voice assistant) when it fails to detect the original hotword in a user input. It can then monitor subsequent user inputs to find an existing hotword that corresponds to the modified hotword. The device can provide response data indicating whether to update the existing hotword with the modified one and update a hotword model based on user input.
- An electronic device with a user interface, processor, and memory
- Can identify a modified hotword when the original hotword is not detected in a user input
- Monitors subsequent user inputs to find an existing hotword corresponding to the modified hotword
- Provides response data indicating whether to update the existing hotword with the modified one
- Updates a hotword model based on user input to the response data
Potential Applications
- Voice assistants and smart speakers
- Mobile devices with voice recognition capabilities
- Automotive infotainment systems
Problems Solved
- Improves the accuracy and effectiveness of voice recognition systems
- Allows users to customize and modify hotwords for better user experience
- Provides a more efficient way to update and improve hotword models
Benefits
- Enhanced user experience with voice assistants
- Increased accuracy in detecting and responding to user inputs
- Flexibility to customize and modify hotwords based on user preferences
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may include a user interface, a processor operatively connected to the user interface, and a memory operatively connected to the processor. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, may cause the processor to identify a modified hotword included in the first user input in response to failing to detect a hotword included in a first user input received using the user interface, to monitor a second user input received during a specified time using the user interface, to identify an existing hotword corresponding to the modified hotword using the second user input, to provide response data indicating whether to update the existing hotword using the modified hotword, through the user interface, and to update a hotword model based on a user input to the response data. Moreover, various example embodiments found through the disclosure, as well as other embodiments, are possible.
