==MULTI-MODE VOICE TRIGGERING FOR AUDIO DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240177715 titled 'MULTI-MODE VOICE TRIGGERING FOR AUDIO DEVICES

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a system and method for multi-mode voice triggering for audio devices. Here are some key points from the abstract:

* Audio devices can store multiple voice recognition models, each trained to detect a single trigger phrase.
* The device pre-loads a selected voice recognition model for an expected trigger phrase into the processor to conserve processing and power resources.
* The selection of the voice recognition model is based on the type of companion device that is connected to the audio device.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be applied in various fields such as:
* Smart home devices
* Automotive systems
* Wearable technology

== Problems Solved ==
The technology addresses the following issues:
* Efficient use of processing and power resources
* Quick and accurate voice triggering
* Personalized voice recognition based on companion devices

== Benefits ==
Some benefits of this technology include:
* Improved user experience
* Enhanced device performance
* Customized voice recognition capabilities

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
The technology can be commercially utilized in:
* Smart speakers
* Headphones
* Car infotainment systems

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of single voice recognition models for multiple trigger phrases, which may not be as efficient as the multi-mode voice triggering system described in the patent application.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does the technology handle background noise during voice triggering? ===
The patent application does not provide details on how the system deals with background noise that may interfere with voice recognition accuracy.

=== What is the impact of the companion device on the selection of the voice recognition model? ===
The abstract mentions that the selection of the voice recognition model is based on the type of companion device, but it does not elaborate on how this selection process works or what criteria are used.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

implementations of the subject technology provide systems and methods for multi-mode voice triggering for audio devices. an audio device may store multiple voice recognition models, each trained to detect a single corresponding trigger phrase. so that the audio device can detect a specific one of the multiple trigger phrases without consuming the processing and/or power resources to run a voice recognition model that can differentiate between different trigger phrases, the audio device pre-loads a selected one of the voice recognition models for an expected trigger phrase into a processor of the audio device. the audio device may select the one of the voice recognition models for the expected trigger phrase based on a type of a companion device that is communicatively coupled to the audio device.
