Abstract

Methods, systems and devices for a server remote to a mobile communication device are disclosed. The methods, systems, and devices process an audio sample of the mobile communication device and then provide a decoded audio sample to the mobile communication device. In one embodiment of a method of a server and a remote communication device, the method of the server includes receiving an audio sample from a remote communication device, applying a speech recognition algorithm to the audio sample to generate a decoded audio sample, generating the decoded audio sample and generating a training sequence to program the remote communication device to recognize another audio sample substantially similar to the audio sample.

Claims

1. A method of a server and a remote communication device, the method of the server comprising:

receiving an audio sample from a remote communication device;

applying a speech recognition algorithm to the audio sample to generate a decoded audio sample;

generating the decoded audio sample;

generating a training sequence; and

sending the training sequence to the remote communication device.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

transmitting both the decoded audio sample and the training sequence to the remote communication device.

3. The method of claim 1, the method of the remote communication device further comprising:

receiving the audio sample; and

attempting to recognize the audio sample.

4. The method of claim 3, the method of the remote communication device further comprising:

transmitting the audio sample to the server.

5. The method of claim 4 of the remote communication device, further comprising:

receiving both the decoded audio sample and the training sequence from the server.

6. The method of claim 5 of the remote communication device, further comprising:

providing a user interface to facilitate a comparison;

comparing the decoded audio sample with the audio sample to generate a comparison.

7. The method of claim 6 of the remote communication device, further comprising:

correcting the decoded audio sample based on the comparison.

8. The method of claim 5, of the remote communication device, further comprising;

storing the training sequence.

9. The method of claim 5 of the remote communication device, further comprising;

processing the training sequence.

10. The method of claim 1 where the training sequence comprises of a series of phonemes.

11. A method of a communication device, comprising;

receiving an audio sample;

attempting to recognize the audio sample;

transmitting the audio sample to a remote server;

receiving from the remote server a decoded audio sample and a training sequence based on the transmitted audio sample; and

processing the decoded audio sample.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

providing a user interface to the communication device to facilitate a comparison; and

comparing the decoded audio sample with the audio sample to generate a comparison.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising:

correcting the decoded audio sample based on the comparison.

14. The method of claim 11, the method comprising;

storing the training sequence in a memory of the communication device.

15. The method of claim 11, the method comprising;

processing the training sequence by the communication device.

16. A communication device, comprising:

an audio sample input module for receiving an audio sample to the communication device;

an audio sample recognition module for attempting to recognize the audio sample;

a transmission module for transmitting the audio sample to a remote server to generate a transmitted audio sample;

a reception module for receiving from the remote server a decoded audio sample and training sequence based on the transmitted audio sample; and

a processing module for processing the decoded audio sample.

17. The communication device of claim 16, further comprising:

a user interface module for providing a user interface to facilitate a comparison; and

a comparison module for comparing the decoded audio sample with the audio sample to generate a comparison.

18. The communication device of claim 17, further comprising:

a correction module for correcting the decoded audio sample based on the comparison.

19. The communication device of claim 16, further comprising;

a storage module for storing the training sequence.

20. The communication device of claim 16, further comprising;

a processing module for processing the training sequence.

21. The communication device of claim 16, wherein the communication device is a cellular telephone.
