Replying to a Spoken Command - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240038235 titled 'Replying to a Spoken Command
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for receiving and responding to spoken commands during a teleconference between two audio input/output devices. The method involves an analysis and response device receiving a signal indicating a spoken command associated with a command mode. In response to this signal, the device generates a reply message based on the spoken command, which is then output to one or more devices selected based on the command mode. These devices can include the two audio input/output devices or a combination of them.
- The method involves receiving and responding to spoken commands during a teleconference.
- An analysis and response device receives a signal indicating a spoken command associated with a command mode.
- In response to the signal, the device generates a reply message based on the spoken command.
- The reply message is output to one or more devices selected based on the command mode.
- The devices can include the two audio input/output devices or a combination of them.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Improved teleconferencing experiences by allowing participants to give spoken commands.
- Enhanced accessibility for individuals with disabilities who may have difficulty using traditional input methods.
- Streamlined control and management of audio input/output devices during teleconferences.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Overcoming limitations of traditional input methods (e.g., keyboards or touchscreens) during teleconferences.
- Facilitating efficient and convenient control of audio input/output devices.
- Enabling seamless integration of spoken commands into teleconferencing systems.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased convenience and ease of use for teleconference participants.
- Improved accessibility for individuals with disabilities.
- Enhanced control and management of audio input/output devices.
- Potential for increased productivity and efficiency during teleconferences.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method includes, during a teleconference between a first audio input/output device and a second audio input/output device, receiving, at an analysis and response device, a signal indicating a spoken command, the spoken command associated with a command mode. the method further includes, in response to receiving the signal, generating, at the device, a reply message based on the spoken command, the reply message to be output to one or more devices selected based on the command mode. the one or more devices includes the first audio input/output device, the second audio input/output device, or a combination thereof.
