Method and Apparatus for Voice Searching for Stored Content Using Uniterm Discovery
First Claim
1. In an electronic device, a method comprising:
- storing one or more content, wherein said one or more content includes one or more of text, images, audio, videos, and multimedia content;
tagging at least one of the one or more content with an audio tag;
receiving a voice query to retrieve content from the one or more content stored on the device;
completing a voice-to-voice search utilizing uniterms of the audio tag and a phoneme latent lattice model generated from the voice query to identify audio tags tagged to stored content among the audio tags of the one or more content, which audio tags provide one or more uniterms that scores within the phoneme lattice model; and
outputting retrieved content associated with the identified audio tags having uniterms that score within the phoneme lattice model, wherein the retrieved content is outputted in an order corresponding to an order in which the uniterms are structured within the voice query.

Abstract
A method, system and communication device for enabling voice-to-voice searching and ordered content retrieval via audio tags assigned to individual content, which tags generate uniterms that are matched against components of a voice query. The method includes storing content and tagging at least one of the content with an audio tag. The method further includes receiving a voice query to retrieve content stored on the device. When the voice query is received, the method completes a voice-to-voice search utilizing uniterms of the audio tag, scored against the phoneme latent lattice model generated by the voice query to identify matching terms within the audio tags and corresponding stored content. The retrieved content(s) associated with the identified audio tags having uniterms that score within the phoneme lattice model are outputted in an order corresponding to an order in which the uniterms are structured within the voice query.

11. A device comprising:
-
a processor; an audio input device for receiving audio data, including audio tags and voice queries; a storage mechanism for storing content, and corresponding audio tags; an output mechanism for outputting stored content based on a search of tags associated with the content; a voice search and content ordering (VSCO) utility executing on the processor and having logic for completing the following functions; storing one or more content, wherein said one or more content includes one or more of text, images, audio, videos, and multimedia content; tagging at least one of the one or more content with an audio tag; receiving a voice query to retrieve content from the one or more content stored on the device; triggering completion of a voice-to-voice search utilizing uniterms of the audio tag and a phoneme latent lattice model generated from the voice query to identify audio tags tagged to stored content among the audio tags of the one or more content, which audio tags provide one or more uniterms that scores within the phoneme lattice model; and outputting retrieved content associated with the identified audio tags having uniterms that score within the phoneme lattice model, wherein the retrieved content is outputted in an order corresponding to an order in which the uniterms are structured within the voice query. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
