VOICE INTERFACE AND SEARCH FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES INCLUDING BLUETOOTH HEADSETS AND REMOTE SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A wireless electronic device comprising:
- a microphone for receiving a speech input;
a speech recognizer coupled to the microphone to receive the speech input;
a memory, the memory comprising a stored resource access number; and
a wireless transceiver for sending information from the electronic device to one or more other electronic devices,wherein the speech recognizer is configured to recognize a first spoken command word, and wherein if the first command word is recognized in the speech input, then the speech recognizer generates a corresponding first command result, andwherein if the first command result matches a predefined criteria, then the electronic device automatically accesses the resource access number from memory and sends the resource access number and an externally executed command through said transmitter to a second electronic device, andwherein the externally executed command, when executed, uses the resource access number to establish a communication channel between said second electronic device and at least one remote device.

Abstract
Systems and methods for improving the interaction between a user and a small electronic device such as a Bluetooth headset are described. The use of a voice user interface in electronic devices may be used. In one embodiment, recognition processing limitations of some devices are overcome by employing speech synthesizers and recognizers in series where one electronic device responds to simple audio commands and sends audio requests to a remote device with more significant recognition analysis capability. Embodiments of the present invention may include systems and methods for utilizing speech recognizers and synthesizers in series to provide simple, reliable, and hands-free interfaces with users.

13. A method comprising:
-
receiving input speech from a user in an electronic device; recognizing the input speech on the electronic device, and outputting a command if the input speech is recognized as an utterance in a word set of a recognizer; accessing a resource access number stored in a memory of the electronic device if the command matches a predefined criteria; and sending the resource access number and an externally executed command to a second electronic device, wherein the externally executed command, when executed, instructs the second electronic device to use the resource access number to establish a communication channel between said second electronic device and at least one remote device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A wireless electronic device comprising:
-
a speech recognizer coupled to receive the speech input; a memory, the memory comprising one or more stored resource access numbers; a voice user interface for interacting with a user using speech recognition or speech synthesis; and a wireless transceiver for communicating with at least one remote device, wherein the remote device comprises a voice search engine, wherein the electronic device is configured to allow a user to interact with the electronic device primarily through the voice user interface, and wherein the speech recognizer is configured to recognize a first spoken command word, and wherein if the first command word is recognized in the speech input, then the speech recognizer generates a corresponding first command result, and wherein if the first command result matches a predefined criteria, then the electronic device automatically accesses the resource access number from memory and establishes a communication channel between said wireless electronic device and the at least one remote device, and wherein, after establishing the communication channel, input speech from a user is transmitted to said voice search engine through said wireless electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
