Common word graph based multimodal input
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for processing input received by a computing device comprising:
- initializing a common word graph based on a language model;
receiving input and complementary information using a plurality of modalities, the complementary information corresponding to at least a portion of the input; and
modifying the word graph based on the input and the complementary information.

Abstract
Multiple input modalities are selectively used by a user or process to prune a word graph. Pruning initiates rescoring in order to generate a new word graph with a revised best path.

11. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions that when executed by a computer perform steps to process input received by the computer comprising the steps of:
-
receiving input using a first modality;
modifying a word graph based on the input; and
rendering a hypothesis for the input based on the word graph, and repeating the following steps until a desired hypothesis is obtained;
modifying the word graph based on complementary information received using a second modality, the complementary information corresponding to at least a portion of the input and the second modality being different than the first modality; and
rendering a new hypothesis for the input based on the word graph. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A computing device:
-
a first component configured to provide input into the computing device using a first modality;
a second component configured to provide input into the computing device using a second modality; and
a recognizer configured to receive input from the first and the second component and configured to modify a common word graph based on input from the first component and input from the second component. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
