DIALOG SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC REACTIVATION OF SPEECH ACQUIRING MODE
First Claim
1. A method for operating of a dialog system, the method comprising:
- activating, by means of a computing device comprising one or more processors and a memory, a speech acquiring mode;
receiving, by means of the computing device, a first input of a user;
deactivating, by means of the computing device, the speech acquiring mode;
obtaining, by means of the computing device, a first response associated with the first input;
delivering, by means of the computing device, the first response to the user;
determining, by means of the computing device, that a conversation mode is activated;
selecting, by means of the computing device, a first predetermined time period based on a number of words in the first response; and
based on the determination that the conversation mode is activated, automatically re-activating, by means of the computing device, the speech acquiring mode within the first predetermined time period after delivery of the first response to the user.

Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure generally relate to a dialog system allowing for automatically reactivating a speech acquiring mode after the dialog system delivers a response to a user request. The reactivation parameters, such as a delay, depend on a number of predetermined factors and conversation scenarios. The embodiments further provide for a method of operating of the dialog system. An exemplary method comprises the steps of: activating a speech acquiring mode, receiving a first input of a user, deactivating the speech acquiring mode, obtaining a first response associated with the first input, delivering the first response to the user, determining that a conversation mode is activated, and, based on the determination, automatically re-activating the speech acquiring mode within a first predetermined time period after delivery of the first response to the user.

19. A dialog system, the system comprising:
-
a speech recognition module configured to receive a first user input and recognize at least a part of the first user input and generate a first recognized input, when the speech recognition module is in a speech acquiring mode; a dialog manager configured to activate and deactivate the speech acquiring mode, and to generate a first response to the first recognized input; a user output module configured to deliver the first response to a user; and wherein the dialog manager is further configured to select a first predetermined time period based on a number of words in the first response and automatically re-activate the speech acquiring mode within the first predetermined time period after delivering of the first response to the user, when a conversation mode is activated.

20. A non-transitory processor-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement a method for operating of a dialog system, the method comprising:
-
activating a speech acquiring mode; receiving a first input of a user; deactivating the speech acquiring mode; obtaining a first response associated with the first input; delivering the first response to the user; determining that a conversation mode is activated; select a first predetermined time period based on a number of words in the first response; and based on the determination that the conversation mode is activated, automatically re-activating the speech acquiring mode within the first predetermined time period after delivering of the first response to the user.
