METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR INITIATING ACTIONS USING A VOICE-CONTROLLED INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A method for initiating an action using a voice-controlled human interface, the method comprising:
- electronically receiving first user input;
parsing the first user input to determine whether the first user input contains a command activation statement that cues the voice-controlled human interface to enter a command mode in which a second user input comprising a voice signal is processed to identify at least one executable command; and
in response to determining that the first user input comprises the command activation statement, identifying the at least one executable command in the second user input.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for initiating an action using a voice-controlled human interface. The interface provides a hands free, voice driven environment to control processes and applications. According to one embodiment, a method comprises electronically receiving first user input, parsing the first user input to determine whether the first user input contains a command activation statement that cues a voice-controlled human interface to enter a command mode in which a second user input comprising a voice signal is processed to identify at least one executable command and, in response to to determining that the first user input comprises the command activation statement, identifying the at least one executable command in the second user input.

15. An apparatus for integrating processes within a voice-controlled human to interface, the apparatus comprising:
-
a communication interface; at least one memory to store processor-executable instructions; and at least one processor coupled to the communication interface and the at least one memory, wherein upon execution of the processor-executable instructions by the at least one processor, the at least one processor; A) controls the communication interface so as to electronically receive first user input; B) parses the first user input to determine whether the first user input contains a command activation statement that cues the voice-controlled human interface to enter a command mode in which a second user input comprising a voice signal is processed to identify at least one executable command; and C) in response to determining that the first user input comprises the command activation statement, identifies the at least one executable command in the second user input. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
