ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18057491 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that can activate a speech recognition function based on a predetermined trigger word in received audio. It can also detect user movement and transmit a control signal to activate the speech recognition function of another electronic device.
- The electronic device has a microphone to receive audio.
- It includes a communicator, memory, and processor.
- The processor determines if the received audio contains a specific trigger word.
- If the trigger word is detected, it activates the speech recognition function.
- The device can detect user movement while the speech recognition function is active.
- Based on the movement, it sends a control signal to activate the speech recognition function of another device.
Potential Applications
- Voice-controlled smart home devices.
- Hands-free control of electronic devices in a car.
- Remote control of speech recognition functions in multiple devices.
Problems Solved
- Enables hands-free control of electronic devices.
- Allows for remote activation of speech recognition functions.
- Enhances user experience by reducing the need for physical interaction.
Benefits
- Convenient and efficient way to activate speech recognition functions.
- Enables multitasking and improves accessibility.
- Provides flexibility in controlling multiple devices remotely.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a microphone to receive audio, a communicator, a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions, and a processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions. The processor is configured to determine whether the received audio includes a predetermined trigger word; based on determining that the predetermined trigger word is included in the received audio; activate a speech recognition function of the electronic device; detect a movement of a user while the speech recognition function is activated; and based on detecting the movement of the user, transmit a control signal, to a second electronic device to activate a speech recognition function of the second electronic device.
