Voice interface to NFC applications
First Claim
1. A portable device for processing Web content comprising:
- a processor coupled to an NFC (Near Field Communications) reader, an audio input interface, a speech recognition system, and memory, the NFC reader to read URI (Universal Resource Identifier) input and associated keywords from objects having NFC tags, the memory to store the URI input based on the associated keywords, and the audio input interface and the speech recognition system to enable a user of the portable device to retrieve the URI input from memory verbally using the associated keywords.

Abstract
A method for combining speech recognition with near field communication (NFC) to enable a user to enter, store, and use web addresses on portable devices. A user of a portable device having a NFC reader, a voice input interface, a speech recognition system, and memory enables the NFC reader of the portable device to touch a NFC tag or reader found on an object. The object containing information of interest to a user of the portable device; wherein when the NFC reader and the NFC tag or reader touch, the portable device receives a URI and default keywords associated with the URI. The portable device stores the URI in a persistent storage of the portable device based on the default keywords, and date, time, and location of when and where the URI was obtained. The user of the portable device can then retrieve and use the URI at a later time using the voice input interface and the speech recognition system, wherein when the user speaks the default keywords into the voice input interface, the speech recognition system to retrieve the URI.
