CONTEXT-AWARE QUERY RECOGNITION FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An electronic device to execute a context-aware query recognition, the device comprising:
- an input device to receive user speech;
memory to store instructions for performing a context-aware query; and
a controller, coupled to the memory and the input device, the controller being configured to generate a speech signal in response to the user speech, determine, using a first process, if the speech signal includes words implying an action and whether the words implying the action request the action to be performed, determine, using a second process running in parallel with the first process, if the speech signal includes words associated with an intended recipient of the user speech, if the speech signal requests the action to be performed and if the intended recipient of the user speech is the electronic device, generate a command for the electronic device to perform the action, wherein the user speech and the speech signal do not include a wake-up phrase.

Abstract
A method for context-aware query recognition in an electronic device includes receiving user speech from an input device. A speech signal is generated from the user speech. It is determined if the speech signal includes an action to be performed and if the electronic device is the intended recipient of the user speech. If the recognized speech signal include the action and the intended recipient of the user speech is the electronic device, a command is generated for the electronic device to perform the action.

10. A computer-implemented method for context-aware query recognition in an electronic device, the method comprising:
-
receiving user speech from an input device; generating a speech signal in response to the user speech, wherein the user speech and the speech signal do not include a wake-up phrase; determining, using a first process, if the speech signal includes words implying an action and determining whether the words implying the action request the action to be performed; determining an intended recipient of the user speech using a second process running in parallel with the first process; and if the speech signal requests the action to be performed and the intended recipient of the user speech is the electronic device, generating a command for the electronic device to perform the action. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-implemented method for context-aware query recognition in an electronic device, the method comprising:
-
receiving user speech from an input device; generating a speech signal in response to the user speech, wherein the user speech and the speech signal do not include a wake-up phrase; analyzing the speech signal using a first process to determine if the speech signal includes at least one of words or phonemes indicating that the user speech was intended for the electronic device; analyzing the speech signal using a second process, running in parallel with the first process to determine if the speech signal includes at least one of words or phonemes implying an action and determining whether the words implying the action request an action; and generating a command based on the requested action. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)

21. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for executing context-aware query recognition in an electronic device that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
-
receive user speech from an input device; generate a speech signal in response to the user speech, wherein the user speech and the speech signal do not include a wake-up phrase; determine using a first process, if the speech signal includes words implying an action and determine whether the words implying the action request the action to be performed; determine an intended recipient of the user speech using a second process running in parallel with the first process; and if the speech signal requests the action to be performed and the intended recipient of the user speech is the electronic device, generate a command for the electronic device to perform the action. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
