Abstract

A method and system of a voice recording device and a mobile computing device. Some of the exemplary embodiments may be a method comprising creating a voice recording with a voice recording device at least partially within a chassis of a mobile computing device (the creating while the mobile computer device is powered-off), and powering-on the mobile computing device.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

creating a voice recording with a voice recording device at least partially within a chassis of a mobile computing device, the creating while the mobile computing device is powered-off; and

powering-on the mobile computing device.

2. The method as defined in claim 1 further comprising transferring at least some information from the voice recording to the mobile computing device.

3. The method as defined in claim 2 further comprising, after transferring, applying the voice recording to a voice recognition program executed by the mobile computing device.

4. The method as defined in claim 1 wherein creating further comprises creating a digital voice recording.

5. The method as defined in claim 4 wherein transferring further comprises electronically transferring the digital voice recording from the voice recording device to the mobile computer device.

6. The method as defined in claim 4 further comprising applying the digital voice recording to a voice recognition program executed by the mobile computing device.

7. The method as defined in claim 1 wherein creating further comprises creating the voice recording with a voice recording device at least partially within the chassis of a laptop computer.

8. A system comprising:

a mobile computer system comprising a battery, the mobile computer system contained within a chassis; and

a voice recording system at least partially contained within the chassis and electrically coupled to the battery,

wherein the voice recording system makes voice recordings using power from the battery when the mobile computer system is powered-off.

9. The system as defined in claim 8 wherein the voice recording system further comprises a recording system user interface electrically coupled to a processor.

10. The system as defined in claim 9 wherein the chassis further comprises a top cover that rotates about a hinge, and wherein the recording system user interface mechanically couples in the top cover.

11. The system as defined in claim 9 wherein the chassis further comprises:

a top cover that rotates about a hinge; and

a front face substantially normal to a plane of the top cover when the top cover is in a closed position, the front face opposite the hinge;

wherein the recording system user interface mechanically couples in the front face.

12. The system as defined in claim 8 wherein the voice recording system further comprises a microphone.

13. The system as defined in claim 12 wherein the microphone also electrically couples to the mobile computer system, wherein both the voice recording system and the mobile computer system are each operable to utilize the microphone.

14. The system as defined in claim 8 wherein the voice recording system further comprises a speaker.

15. The system as defined in claim 14 wherein the speaker also electrically couples to the mobile computer system, wherein both the voice recording system and the mobile computer system are each operable to utilize the speaker.

16. The system as defined in claim 8 wherein a processor of the voice recording system couples to the mobile communication system by way of a communication bus, and wherein the processor transfers voice recordings to the mobile computer system after the mobile computer system is powered-on.

17. The system as defined in claim 16 wherein the mobile computer system applies the voice recordings to at least one voice recognition program.

18. A notebook computer comprising:

a means for executing personal computer application programs, the means for executing at least partially contained within a chassis, and the means for executing couples to a battery; and

a means for recording sound at least partially contained within the chassis and coupled to the battery;

wherein the means for recording makes sound recordings when the means for executing is not in an operational state, and uses power from the battery.

19. The system as defined in claim 18 further comprising a microphone means electrically coupled to the means for recording.

20. The system as defined in claim 19 wherein the microphone means is also electrically coupled to the means for executing.

21. The system as defined in claim 18 further comprising a speaker means electrically coupled to the means for recording.

22. The system as defined in claim 21 wherein the speaker means also electrically couples to the means for executing.

23. The system as defined in claim 18 wherein the means for recording communicatively couples to the means for executing, and wherein, after a powering-on of the means for executing, the means for recording transfers sound recordings to the means for executing.

24. The system as defined in claim 23 wherein the means for executing applies the sound recordings to a means for voice recognition.

25. A computer-readable media storing a program that, when executed by a processor, implements a method comprising:

receiving at least a portion of a voice recording from a voice recording device coupled to the processor, and the voice recording device at least partially within a same chassis as the processor;

transcribing the voice recording to created transcribed text; and

placing the transcribed text into a user program.

26. The computer-readable media as defined in claim 25 wherein receiving further comprises receiving a digital voice recording.

27. The computer-readable media as defined in claim 25 wherein the sound recording is made while the processor is powered-off.

28. A method comprising:

creating a digital voice recording with a voice recording device at least partially within a chassis of a mobile computer device, the creating while the mobile computer device is powered-off; and

then

powering-on the mobile computer device; and

transferring the digital voice recording from the voice recording device to a processor of the mobile computing device.

29. The method as defined in claim 28 further comprising supplying power to the voice recording device to make the digital voice recording from a battery of the mobile computing device.

30. The method as defined in claim 28 further comprising, after transferring, applying the digital voice recording to a voice recognition program executed by the processor of the mobile computing device.
