1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- during operation of a mobile device in a low-power mode in which functionality of a voice recognition engine of the mobile device is reduced;
detecting, by data processing hardware, an initial portion of a predetermined command phrase in a first utterance while a display of the mobile device is turned off, the predetermined command phrase comprising a series of multiple words configured to cause the mobile device to wake-up from the low-power mode in response to detecting each word of the series of multiple words in any given utterance;
detecting, by the data processing hardware, the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase in a second utterance while the display of the mobile device is turned off;
determining, by the data processing hardware, whether the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase was detected in the second utterance within a first predetermined period of time after detecting the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase in the first utterance; and
when the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase was detected in the second utterance within the first predetermined period of time;
turning on, by the data processing hardware, the display of the mobile device; and
providing, by the data processing hardware for output on the display, a graphical user interface comprising a message box.

Abstract
A method include placing a first processor in a sleep operating mode and running a second processor that is operative to wake the first processor from the sleep operating mode in response to a speech command phrase. The method includes identifying, by the second processor, a speech command phrase segment and performing a control operation in response to detecting the segment in detected speech. The control operation is performed while the first processor is maintained in the sleep operating mode.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software comprising instructions executable by one or more computers which, upon such execution, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
during operation of a mobile device in a low-power mode in which functionality of a voice recognition engine of the mobile device is reduced; detecting an initial portion of a predetermined command phrase in a first utterance while a display of the mobile device is turned off, the predetermined command phrase comprising a series of multiple words configured to cause the mobile device to wake-up from the low-power mode in response to detecting each word of the series of multiple words in any given utterance; detecting the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase in a second utterance while the display of the mobile device is turned off; determining whether the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase was detected in the second utterance within a first predetermined period of time after detecting the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase in the first utterance; and when the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase was detected in the second utterance within the first predetermined period of time; turning on the display of the mobile device; and providing, for output on the display, a graphical user interface comprising a message box. - View Dependent Claims (20)
