METHOD OF DETERMINING END POINT DETECTION TIME AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18363309 titled 'METHOD OF DETERMINING END POINT DETECTION TIME AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method and electronic device for determining the end point detection (EPD) time of an utterance. The electronic device includes a processor and memory for storing commands. The processor recognizes an utterance when the commands are executed and determines the EPD time based on stored utterance data. If no additional input is received within the EPD time, the recognition of the utterance is terminated.

  • The electronic device includes a processor and memory for storing commands.
  • The processor recognizes an utterance when the commands are executed.
  • The EPD time for terminating recognition of the utterance is determined based on stored utterance data.
  • The recognition of the utterance is terminated if no additional input is received within the EPD time.
  • The utterance data includes sentence data and word data.
  • Sentence data includes a pattern related to the sentence type of the utterance.
  • Word data includes a word of the utterance.

Potential Applications:

  • Speech recognition systems
  • Voice assistants
  • Language learning applications
  • Transcription services

Problems Solved:

  • Efficient termination of utterance recognition
  • Avoiding unnecessary processing and waiting time
  • Improving user experience by reducing response time

Benefits:

  • Improved accuracy and efficiency in speech recognition
  • Faster response times in voice-controlled devices
  • Enhanced user experience with more seamless interactions
  • Increased productivity in transcription and language learning tasks


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of determining an End Point Detection (EPD) time and an electronic device for performing the method are provided. The electronic device includes a processor and a memory electrically connected to the processor and configured to store commands executed by the processor. The processor may be configured to recognize an utterance when the commands are executed, determine an End Point Detection (EPD) time for terminating recognition of the utterance based on utterance data stored in the memory, and terminate the recognition of the utterance when the utterance is not additionally input within the EPD time. The utterance data may include sentence data, which includes a pattern related to a sentence type of the utterance, and word data, which includes a word of the utterance.
