Abstract
Systems and methods for voice-controlled communication connections are provided. An example system includes a mobile device being operated consecutively in listen, wakeup, authentication, and connect modes. Each of subsequent modes consumes more power than a preceding mode. The listen mode consumes less than 5 mW. In the listen mode, the mobile device listens for an acoustic signal, determines whether the acoustic signal includes voice, and upon the determination, selectively enters the wakeup mode. In the wakeup mode, the mobile device determines whether the acoustic signal includes a spoken word and, upon the determination, enters the authentication mode. In authentication mode, the mobile device identifies a user using the spoken command and, upon the identification, enters the connect mode. In the connect mode, the mobile device receives an acoustic signal, determines whether the acoustic signal includes a spoken command and performs one or more operations associated with the spoken command.

24. A non-transitory computer readable medium having embodied thereon a program, the program providing instructions for a method for voice-controlled communication connections, the method comprising:
-
operating a mobile device in a first mode, wherein the mobile device comprises; one or more microphones; a buffer; and while operating the mobile device in the first mode; detecting, via the one or more microphones, an acoustic signal; determining whether the acoustic signal includes a voice; based on the determination, switching the mobile device to a second mode; and storing the acoustic signal in the buffer; operating the mobile device in the second mode; while operating the mobile device in the second mode; receiving the acoustic signal; determining whether the acoustic signal includes one or more spoken commands; and based on the determination, switching the mobile device to a third mode; operating the mobile device in the third mode; while operating the mobile device in the third mode; receiving the one or more spoken commands; identifying based on the one or more spoken commands, a user; and based on the identification, switching the mobile device to a fourth mode; operating the mobile device in a fourth mode; and while operating the mobile device in the third mode; receiving a further acoustic signal; determining whether the further acoustic signal includes one or more further spoken commands; and performing an operation of the mobile device, the operation being associated with the one or more further spoken commands. - View Dependent Claims (25)
