Speech Wakeup Method and Apparatus, Device, Storage Medium, and Program Product - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18591853 titled 'Speech Wakeup Method and Apparatus, Device, Storage Medium, and Program Product

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for waking up a device using a bone conduction microphone to detect a specific command word.

  • A bone conduction microphone collects a signal for speech detection.
  • The signal includes information about a command word input by the sound source.
  • The method detects a specific wakeup word based on the bone conduction signal.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Utilization of a bone conduction microphone for speech detection.
  • Detection of a specific command word input by the sound source.
  • Wakeup word detection based on the bone conduction signal.

  • Enhanced user experience with voice-controlled systems.

Commercial Applications

Title: "Bone Conduction Wakeup Method for Voice-Activated Devices" This technology can be utilized in:

  • Smart home devices.
  • Automotive infotainment systems.
  • Healthcare communication devices.

Questions about Bone Conduction Wakeup Method

1. How does the bone conduction microphone improve speech detection compared to traditional microphones?

The bone conduction microphone collects speech signals directly from the user's bones, reducing background noise and improving accuracy.

2. What are the potential limitations of using bone conduction technology for speech detection?

Bone conduction technology may have limitations in noisy environments where external sounds can interfere with signal detection.


Original Abstract Submitted

A speech wakeup method includes that a bone conduction microphone collects a bone conduction signal for speech detection, which includes information about a command word input by the sound source, and detects a wakeup word based on the bone conduction signal.
