ACTIVATING SPEECH PROCESS
First Claim
1. A method of processing received data representing speech comprising the steps of:
- monitoring the received data to detect the presence of data representing a first portion of a trigger phrase in said received data;
sending, on detection of said data representing the first portion of the trigger phrase, a control signal to activate a speech processing block, andmonitoring the received data to detect the presence of data representing a second portion of the trigger phrase in said received data, andif said control signal to activate the speech processing block has previously been sent, maintaining, on detection of said data representing the second portion of the trigger phrase, the activation of said speech processing block.

Abstract
A method of processing received data representing speech comprises monitoring the received data to detect the presence of data representing a first portion of a trigger phrase in said received data. On detection of the data representing the first portion of the trigger phrase, a control signal is sent to activate a speech processing block. The received data is monitored to detect the presence of data representing a second portion of the trigger phrase in said received data. If the control signal to activate the speech processing block has previously been sent, then, on detection of the data representing the second portion of the trigger phrase, the activation of the speech processing block is maintained.

19. A speech processor, comprising:
-
an input, for receiving data representing speech; and a speech processing block, wherein the speech processor is configured to perform a method of processing received data representing speech comprising the steps of; monitoring the received data to detect the presence of data representing a first portion of a trigger phrase in said received data; sending, on detection of said data representing the first portion of the trigger phrase, a control signal to activate the speech processing block, and monitoring the received data to detect the presence of data representing a second portion of the trigger phrase in said received data, and if said control signal to activate the speech processing block has previously been sent, maintaining, on detection of said data representing the second portion of the trigger phrase, the activation of said speech processing block.

23. A method of processing speech data comprising the steps of:
-
activating, on detecting data representing said first portion of said trigger phrase in said speech data, a speech processing block; and maintaining, on subsequently detecting data representing said second portion of said trigger phrase, said activation of said speech processing block.
-
-
24. A method of processing speech data comprising the steps of:
-
activating, on detecting data representing said first portion of said trigger phrase in said speech data, a speech processing block; and de-activating, on subsequently detecting the absence of data representing said second portion of said trigger phrase, said speech processing block.
