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;
receiving, by data processing hardware of the mobile device, an utterance;
while a display of the mobile device is off, detecting, by the data processing hardware, an initial portion of a predetermined command phrase in the utterance by matching the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase to a segment speech model associated with the predetermined command phrase, 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 the utterance, and the segment speech model storing each word of the series of multiple words of the predetermined command phrase; and
in response to detecting the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase in the utterance;
turning on, by the data processing hardware, the display of the mobile device; and
displaying, by the data processing hardware for output on the display, at least a portion of a graphical user interface that was stored in a frame buffer of the mobile device before receiving the utterance.

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.

17. 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; receiving an utterance; while a display of the mobile device is off, detecting an initial portion of a predetermined command phrase in the utterance by matching the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase to a segment speech model associated with the predetermined command phrase, 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 the utterance, and the segment speech model storing each word of the series of multiple words of the predetermined command phrase; and in response to detecting the initial portion of the predetermined command phrase in the utterance; turning on the display of the mobile device; and displaying, for output on the display, at least a portion of a graphical user interface that was stored in a frame buffer of the mobile device before receiving the utterance. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
