Method and communication device for handling data records by speech recognition
First Claim
1. Method for handling data records of a mobile communication device, wherein at least one pre-stored voice tag is assigned to each of said data records, wherein said voice tags are employed for speech recognition to enable selection of said data records by speech input and recognition on the basis of said voice tags;
- wherein said data records comprise a first set of data records and a second set of data records, wherein both sets of data records relate to different applications of said communication device;
said method comprising;
receiving an initial user input causing said mobile communication device to be prepared for receiving an acoustic input to perform said speech recognition thereon;
receiving a first manual user input by a multiple switching component, which is capable to exhibit a first input value and a second input value;
displaying a list of said first or said second set of data records in accordance with said first input signal and said second input signal of said first user input;
receiving a second manual user input identifying one data record of said displayed data records; and
transmitting an instruction comprised in said identified data record to at least one application of a plurality of applications executable on said mobile communication device.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a mobile communication device having a speech recognition for selecting and activating device function by acoustic input. Particularly, the present invention relates to a backup method to be used in case of failure of the speech recognition offering an advantageous method for selecting and activating the device functions operable with speech recognition by operation of switches and keys in an easy and fast way. The device functions, i.e. especially dialing of telephone numbers, are organized in data records. On receiving a user input, a list of the data records is displayed to the user. On receiving a further user input, one of the displayed list of data records is identified and an instruction is transmitted to at least one of several applications executed on the mobile communication device. The instruction commands the receiving application to operate in accordance with the transmitted instruction in order to cause the respective device function of the mobile communication device. Exemplary, the instruction may include a telephone number to be dialed which is transmitted to a dialing application causing on receiving the telephone number the establishment of a telephone communication link.

10. Mobile communication device for handling data records of a mobile communication device which are selectable by speech input and recognition, comprising:
-
a plurality of applications executable on said mobile communication device;
at least one pre-stored voice tag for speech recognition is assigned to each of said data records having assigned, wherein said voice tags are employed for speech recognition to enable selection of said data records by speech input and recognition on the basis of said voice tags;
said data records comprising a first set of data records and a second set of data records, wherein both sets of data records relate to different applications of said communication device;
a speech recognition component for recognizing acoustic input via a microphone resulting in a selection of one of said data records in accordance with said acoustic input;
a first actuator for activating said speech recognition component;
a second actuator being a said multiple switching component capable to generate a first input signal and a second input signal, said second actuator being operable with said speech recognition mode component causing displaying of a list of said first or said second set of said data records on said display in accordance with said first input signal and said second input signal; and
a third actuator for selecting one data record of said displayed list and for transmitting an instruction comprised in said selected data record to at least one of the plurality of applications to be operated in accordance with said instruction. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
