ADAPTATION OF A SPEECH PROCESSING SYSTEM FROM EXTERNAL INPUT THAT IS NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO SOUNDS IN AN OPERATIONAL ACOUSTIC ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A speech processing system comprising:
- an acoustic environment including at least one microphone for receiving speech input;
a speech processing system configured to receive speech input, to automatically performing a set of programmatic actions based upon the speech input, and to present output resulting from the programmatic actions;
an external input processor configured to receive non-sound input relating to the acoustic environment and to match the received input to a related profile; and
a setting adjustor configured to automatically adjust settings of the speech processing system based upon a profile determined based upon input processed by the external input processor.

Abstract
A speech processing system that performs adaptations based upon non-sound external input, such as weather input. In the system, an acoustic environment can include a microphone and speaker. The microphone/speaker can receive/produce speech input/output to/from a speech processing system. An external input processor can receive non-sound input relating to the acoustic environment and to match the received input to a related profile. A setting adjustor can automatically adjust settings of the speech processing system based upon a profile based upon input processed by the external input processor. For example, the settings can include customized noise filtering algorithms, recognition confidence thresholds, output energy levels, and/or transducer gain settings.

11. A method for adapting speech processing settings comprising:
-
receiving real-time input associated with at least one of an acoustic environment and a user of a speech processing system, wherein said real-time input is non-speech input; determining a previously established profile from a set of profiles that matches the received input, wherein the profile is associated with at least one setting of the speech processing system; and dynamically and automatically adjusting at least one setting. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of automatically adjusting settings of a speech processing system comprising:
-
determining at least one weather condition affecting an acoustic environment from which speech input for a speech processing system is received; and automatically adjusting at least one setting of the speech processing system to optimize the system in accordance with the determined weather condition. - View Dependent Claims (20)
