Multi-Mode Guard for Voice Commands
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- at least one audio sensor; and
a computing system configured to;
(a) analyze audio data captured by the at least one audio sensor in order to detect speech that includes a predefined guard phrase and (b) cause the device to operate in a plurality of different interface modes comprising at least a first and a second interface mode;
wherein, during operation in the first interface mode, the computing system is configured to initially disable one or more first-mode speech commands, and to respond to detection of the guard phrase by enabling the one or more first-mode speech commands; and
wherein, during operation in the second interface mode, the computing system is configured to initially disable one or more second-mode speech commands, and to respond to detecting the guard phrase by enabling the one or more second-mode speech commands.

Abstract
Embodiments may be implemented by a computing device, such as a head-mountable display, in order to use a single guard phrase to enable different voice commands in different interface modes. An example device includes an audio sensor and a computing system configured to analyze audio data captured by the audio sensor to detect speech that includes a predefined guard phrase, and to operate in a plurality of different interface modes comprising at least a first and a second interface mode. During operation in the first interface mode, the computing system may initially disable one or more first-mode speech commands, and respond to detection of the guard phrase by enabling the one or more first-mode speech commands. During operation in the second interface mode, the computing system may initially disable a second-mode speech command, and to respond to the guard phrase by enabling the second-mode speech command.

15. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
a computing device operating in a first interface mode, wherein, during operation in the first interface mode, the computing device; initially disables one or more first-mode speech commands; and responds to detection of a guard phrase by enabling the one or more first-mode speech commands; and a computing device operating in a second interface mode, wherein, during operation in the second interface mode, the computing device; initially disables one or more second-mode speech commands; and responds to detection of a guard phrase by enabling the one or more second-mode speech commands. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A device comprising:
-
at least one audio sensor; and a computing system configured to;
(a) analyze audio data captured by the at least one audio sensor in order to detect speech that includes a predefined guard phrase and (b) cause the device to operate in a plurality of different interface modes comprising at least a first and a second interface mode;wherein, during operation in the first interface mode, the computing system is configured to;
(i) initially disable one or more first-mode speech commands, (ii) analyze first audio data captured by the audio sensor for the predefined guard phrase, and to (iii) respond to a first detection of the predefined guard phrase in the first audio data by enabling the one or more first-mode speech commands, wherein the first detection of the predefined guard phrase occurs during the operation in the first interface mode; andwherein, during operation in the second interface mode that is non-contemporaneous to the operation in the first interface mode, the computing system is configured to;
(i) initially disable one or more second-mode speech commands, (ii) analyze second audio data captured by the audio sensor for the predefined guard phrase, and (iii) respond to a second detection of the predefined guard phrase in the second audio data by enabling the one or more second-mode speech commands. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
