1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- determining, using a processor, an orientation of a mobile device;
determining, using the processor, an operating mode of the mobile device based on the determined orientation of the mobile device;
identifying speech detection parameters that specify when speech detection begins or ends based on the determined operating mode; and
detecting speech from a user of the mobile device based on the speech detection parameters.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of multisensory speech detection is disclosed. The method comprises determining an orientation of a mobile device and determining an operating mode of the mobile device based on the orientation of the mobile device. The method further includes identifying speech detection parameters that specify when speech detection begins or ends based on the determined operating mode and detecting speech from a user of the mobile device based on the speech detection parameters.

14. A system, comprising:
-
one or more computers having at least one sensor that detects an orientation of a mobile device; a pose identifier that identifies a pose of the mobile device based on the detected orientation of the mobile device; and means for identifying selected speech detection parameters that determine whether a user of the mobile device is speaking to the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
determining, using a processor, a level of background noise in an operating environment of a mobile device; comparing, using the processor, the determined level of background noise with a threshold level of background noise; determining based on the comparison a pose for the mobile device that is associated with a relative orientation of the mobile device to a source of speech, wherein the determination occurs substantially before the speech is uttered by a user of the mobile device; and outputting an indication of the determined pose to the user of the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
