Decaying Automated Speech Recognition Processing Results - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240096320 titled 'Decaying Automated Speech Recognition Processing Results

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for decaying speech processing in a voice-enabled device, where the device captures speech for speech recognition. The method involves opening the microphone in response to a trigger event, capturing an audio stream, and decaying the level of speech recognition processing over time.

  • Receiving indication of a microphone trigger event
  • Instructing the microphone to open for a duration window
  • Providing the audio stream to a speech recognition system
  • Decaying the level of speech recognition processing based on the duration window
  • Instructing the speech recognition system to use the decayed level over the audio stream

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in voice-controlled devices such as smart speakers, virtual assistants, and voice-activated appliances.

Problems Solved

This method helps optimize speech recognition processing by adjusting the level of processing based on the duration of the audio stream captured by the microphone.

Benefits

- Improved efficiency in speech recognition processing - Enhanced user experience with voice-enabled devices - Reduction in computational resources required for speech processing

Potential Commercial Applications

"Optimizing Speech Recognition Processing in Voice-Enabled Devices"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to dynamic adjustment of speech processing levels based on audio stream duration in the field of speech recognition technology.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method impact the accuracy of speech recognition?

The abstract does not specify how the decayed level of speech recognition processing affects the accuracy of speech recognition. Further details on the relationship between processing level and accuracy would be beneficial.

What are the potential privacy implications of capturing audio streams for speech recognition?

The abstract does not address the privacy concerns related to capturing audio streams in the device environment. Exploring the privacy implications and potential safeguards would be important for implementing this technology responsibly.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method for decaying speech processing includes receiving, at a voice-enabled device, an indication of a microphone trigger event indicating a possible interaction with the device through speech where the device has a microphone that, when open, is configured to capture speech for speech recognition. in response to receiving the indication of the microphone trigger event, the method also includes instructing the microphone to open or remain open for a duration window to capture an audio stream in an environment of the device and providing the audio stream captured by the open microphone to a speech recognition system. during the duration window, the method further includes decaying a level of the speech recognition processing based on a function of the duration window and instructing the speech recognition system to use the decayed level of speech recognition processing over the audio stream captured by the open microphone.
