Abstract

A method including displaying content on a display of a device, receiving a speech input designating a segment of the content to be excerpted and transferring the excerpted content to a predetermined location for storage and retrieval.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

displaying content on a display of a device;

receiving a speech input designating a segment of the content to be excerpted; and

transferring the excerpted content to a predetermined location for storage and retrieval.

2. The method of claim 1, where the speech input comprises at least a first word in the segment to be excerpted and at least a last word in the segment to be excerpted.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising collecting a speech recognition vocabulary set wherein the speech recognition vocabulary set corresponds to content visible on the display.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the speech recognition vocabulary set is updated as a content of the display changes.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising optically recognizing characters presented on the display for enabling designation of one or more recognized characters through speech recognition.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising creating a link to a source of the excerpted content and displaying the link with the excerpted content.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising extracting speech recognition grammar rules or statistical models from a currently displayed content.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the speech input corresponds to predetermined commands for designating the content to be excerpted.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the predetermined commands include “

first line”

, “

first paragraph”

, “

whole screen”

, “

next page”

, “

current page”

, “

last line”

, “

reset the beginning word” and

/or “

reset the ending word”

.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein extracting the speech recognition grammar rules or statistical models occurs within the device or external to the device.

11. A computer program product stored in a memory comprising computer readable program code embodied in a computer readable medium for:

displaying content on a display of a device;

receiving a speech input designating a segment of the content to be excerpted; and

transferring the excerpted content to a predetermined location for storage and retrieval.

12. The computer program product of claim 11 wherein the computer readable program code is stored in a memory of a mobile communications device.

13. A system comprising:

a remote server; and

a portable communication device including

a display configured to present predetermined content, and

a processor configured to

request the predetermined content from the remote server,

recognize a speech input for designating a segment of the content to be excerpted, and

transfer the excerpted content to a predetermined location for storage and retrieval.

14. The system of claim 13, where the speech input comprises at least a first word in the segment to be excerpted and at least a last word in the segment to be excerpted.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to collect a speech recognition vocabulary set wherein the speech recognition vocabulary set corresponds to content visible on the display.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to update the speech recognition vocabulary set as a content of the display changes.

17. The system of claim 13, further comprising an optical character recognition module configured to optically recognizing characters presented on the display for enabling designation of one or more recognized characters for excerption through speech recognition.

18. The system of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to display a link to a source of the excerpted content when the excerpted content is presented on the display.

19. The system of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to extract speech recognition grammar rules or statistical models from a currently displayed content.

20. The system of claim 13, wherein the remote server is a proxy server configured to extract speech recognition grammar rules or statistical models from content requested by the processor.

21. An apparatus comprising:

at least one input device configured to receive a speech input;

a display configured to present predetermined content acquired by the apparatus; and

a processor configured to

recognize the speech input for designating a segment of the content to be excerpted; and

transfer the excerpted content to a predetermined location for storage and retrieval.

22. The apparatus of claim 21, where the speech input comprises at least a first word in the segment to be excerpted and at least a last word in the segment to be excerpted.

23. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the processor is further configured to present on the display an excerpt organizer, the excerpt organizer including at least one excerpt content and at least a source of the excerpt content.

24. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the at least one input device further includes an imaging device configured to optically recognize characters for enabling the designation of excerpt content through speech recognition.

25. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the processor is further configured to cause a presentation of excerpt selections on the display, the excerpt selections being configured to enable designation of at least a portion of the content to be excerpted through speech recognition.

26. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the apparatus is a mobile communication device.

27. A user interface comprising:

at least one input device configured to receive a speech input;

a display configured to present predetermined content acquired by the apparatus; and

a processor configured to

recognize the speech input for designating a segment of the content to be excerpted; and

transfer the excerpted content to a predetermined location for storage and retrieval.

28. The user interface of claim 27, wherein the processor is further configured to present on the display an excerpt organizer, the excerpt organizer including at least one excerpt content and at least a source of the excerpt content.

29. The user interface of claim 27, wherein the at least one input device further includes an imaging device configured to optically recognize characters for enabling the designation of excerpt content through speech recognition.

30. The user interface of claim 27, wherein the processor is further configured to cause a presentation of excerpt selections on the display, the excerpt selections being configured to enable designation of at least a portion of the excerpt content through speech recognition.
