SPEECH RECOGNITION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONCURRENT VOICE COMMANDS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240249726 titled 'SPEECH RECOGNITION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONCURRENT VOICE COMMANDS

The patent application describes systems and methods that enable concurrent voice commands from multiple users through a speech recognition system.

  • The system includes separate input interfaces for receiving audio inputs from different users.
  • It utilizes recognition modules to convert the audio inputs into textual representations and transmits them with unique identifiers via an output interface.
  • This allows for the simultaneous processing of voice commands from different users without interference.

Potential Applications:

  • Multi-user voice assistants
  • Collaborative voice-controlled devices
  • Interactive voice command systems in shared spaces

Problems Solved:

  • Overcoming limitations of traditional voice recognition systems that struggle with multiple users speaking simultaneously
  • Enhancing user experience by enabling seamless interaction with voice-controlled devices in group settings

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency in processing voice commands from multiple users
  • Enhanced user experience with voice-controlled devices in shared environments
  • Increased convenience and accessibility for group interactions with technology

Commercial Applications:

  • Smart home devices
  • Conference room equipment
  • Virtual assistants for businesses

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between voice commands from different users? 

  - The system uses unique identifiers associated with each audio input to distinguish between users.

2. Can the system handle a large number of concurrent voice commands from different users? 

  - The system's design allows for scalability to accommodate multiple users speaking simultaneously.


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods are provided that support concurrent voice commands from different users. a speech recognition system includes a first input interface to receive a first audio input, a second input interface to receive a second audio input, an output interface, a first recognition module coupled to the first input interface and the output interface to determine a first textual representation of the first audio input and transmit a first message stream comprising the first textual representation and a first identifier associated with the first audio input via the output interface, and a second recognition module coupled to the second input interface and the output interface to determine a second textual representation of the second audio input and transmit a second message stream comprising the second textual representation and a different identifier associated with the second audio input via the output interface.
