REDUCED-LATENCY SPEECH PROCESSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18261449 titled 'REDUCED-LATENCY SPEECH PROCESSING
Simplified Explanation
The device described in the patent application includes a first stage keyword detector and a processor. The processor is designed to initiate a change of state to enable a voice service that is in a low-power mode to be scheduled for execution on reserved processor cores, based on a signal indicating keyword detection by the first stage keyword detector before confirmation of the detection.
- The device includes a first stage keyword detector and a processor.
- The processor can initiate a change of state to enable a voice service in low-power mode to be scheduled for execution on reserved processor cores.
- This change of state is based on a signal indicating keyword detection by the first stage keyword detector before confirmation of the detection.
- Potential Applications
- This technology could be used in smart home devices to improve voice recognition capabilities.
- It could also be applied in automotive systems for hands-free voice commands.
- Problems Solved
- Enables efficient use of processor resources by scheduling voice services on reserved cores.
- Improves responsiveness of voice services by initiating a change of state based on early keyword detection.
- Benefits
- Enhances user experience by enabling faster execution of voice commands.
- Optimizes power consumption by utilizing low-power mode for voice services when not in use.
Original Abstract Submitted
A device includes a first stage keyword detector and a processor. The processor is configured to, based on a signal indicating a keyword detection by the first stage keyword detector and prior to confirmation of the keyword detection, initiate a change of state to enable a voice service that is in a low-power mode to be scheduled for execution on one or more reserved processor cores.
