First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method implemented in a telecommunication device, the method comprising:
- receiving audio input through a unified audio interface of the telecommunication device; and
determining whether to handle the audio input as a command, as a request of a telecommunication device application, or as a network search request, the determining being based on one or more user-configurable rules or priorities.

16. A telecommunication device comprising:
-
a processor; a dedicated key configured to invoke an audio capture process when actuated; an audio recognition module operable by the processor and associated with the dedicated key, the audio recognition module configured to recognize audio input captured by the audio capture process; and an audio routing module operable by the processor and configured to evaluate the recognized audio input to determine whether to handle the recognized audio input as a command, as a request of a telecommunication device application, or as a network search request, the determining being based on one or more user-configurable rules or priorities, the audio routing module offering an application programming interface which enables telecommunication device applications to register with and/or interact with the audio routing module.

18. An article of manufacture comprising:
-
one or more storage media; and executable instructions stored on the storage media which, when executed by a telecommunication device, instruct the telecommunication device to perform operations including; receiving while engaged in communication with another device, an actuation of a dedicated key associated with a unified audio interface for audio commands and requests; processing audio input provided with the actuation as an audio command or request; and determining whether to handle the audio input as an audio command, as a request of a telecommunication device application, or as a network search request, the determining being based at least in part on a context or data associated with the communication with the other device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
