Short-Lived Repeat Voice Commands - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240161741 titled 'Short-Lived Repeat Voice Commands

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for detecting short-lived repeat voice commands by using warm words associated with controlling a digital assistant. When a warm word is detected, the respective action is performed, and repeat warm words are activated for further commands.

  • Detecting short-lived repeat voice commands
  • Using warm words to control a digital assistant
  • Performing actions based on detected warm words
  • Activating repeat warm words for subsequent commands

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Smart home devices
  • Virtual assistants
  • Automotive voice control systems

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Improving user experience with voice commands
  • Enhancing efficiency in controlling digital assistants

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Faster response to voice commands
  • Reduced errors in command recognition
  • Enhanced user interaction with digital assistants

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be commercially benefit:

  • Tech companies developing digital assistants
  • Home automation companies
  • Automotive manufacturers integrating voice control systems

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Voice recognition software with limited command options

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle background noise during voice command detection?

The method described in the abstract does not specify how background noise is filtered out to accurately detect voice commands.

What is the accuracy rate of detecting warm words and repeat warm words in various environments?

The abstract does not provide information on the accuracy of detecting warm words and repeat warm words in different noise levels or settings.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method for detecting short-lived repeat voice commands includes activating a set of one or more warm words each associated with a respective action for controlling a long-standing operation performed by a digital assistant. while the digital assistant is performing the long-standing operation, the method includes receiving audio data, and detecting, in the audio data, a warm word from the activated set of one or more warm words. in response to detecting the warm word, the method includes performing the respective action associated with the detected warm word, and activating a set of one or more repeat warm words associated with the detected warm word. the method further includes receiving additional audio data, detecting, in the additional audio data, a repeat warm word from the activated set of one or more repeat warm words, and performing the respective action associated with the detected repeat warm word.
