Voice recognition status display
First Claim
1. A method of displaying the status of a voice recognition process, comprising:
- receiving a volume event determination notification from a voice recognition application, the volume event determination notification corresponding to a volume event;
in response to receiving the volume event determination notification, displaying a volume event occurrence indicator;
receiving a volume event recognition notification from the voice recognition application, the volume event recognition notification notifying that the volume event has been recognized,in response to receiving the volume event recognition notification, displaying a volume event recognition indicator so as to associate the volume event recognition indicator with the volume event occurrence indicator;
receiving a second volume event determination notification from a voice recognition application, the second volume event determination notification corresponding to a second volume event;
in response to receiving the second volume event determination notification, displaying a second volume event occurrence indicator;
receiving a second volume event recognition notification from the voice recognition application, the second volume event recognition notification notifying that the second volume event has been recognized, andin response to receiving the second volume event recognition notification, displaying a second volume event recognition indicator so as to associate the second volume event recognition indicator with the second volume event occurrence indicator.

Abstract
A user interface is described that informs the user as to the status of the operation of a voice recognition application. The user interface displays an indicator, such as a volume bar, each time that the voice recognition application records and identifies a volume event. The user interface also displays an indicator when the voice recognition application recognizes a volume event corresponding to a displayed volume event indicator. The interface thus confirms to a user that the voice recognition application is both recording and recognizing the words being spoken by the user. It also graphically informs the user of the delay the application is currently experiencing in recognizing the words that the user is speaking.

13. An apparatus for displaying the status of a voice recognition application, comprising:
-
a volume event notification module tat receives a notification from the voice recognition application when a volume event is determined; a volume event recognition module that receives a notification from the voice recognition application when a volume event is recognized; and a user interface module that displays a volume event occurrence indicator in response to the volume event notification module receiving a notification from the voice recognition application, and in response to the volume event recognition module receiving the notification from the voice recognition application that a volume event has been recognized, determines if the volume event occurrence indicator for the recognized volume event is being displayed, and if a volume event occurrence indicator for the recognized volume event is being displayed, displays a volume event volume event recognition indicator so as to associate volume event volume event recognition indicator with the volume event occurrence indicator. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A voice recognition system, comprising:
-
a voice recognition application for determining and recognizing volume events; and a user interface application that displays a volume event occurrence indicator when the voice recognition application determines a volume event; if the volume event occurrence indicator is still displayed when the voice recognition application recognizes the volume event, displays a volume event recognition indicator so as to associate the volume event recognition indicator with volume event occurrence indicator, and includes a volume event notification module that receives a notification from the volume event determination module when the volume event determination module determines the volume event; a volume event recognition module that receives a notification from the voice recognition application when the volume event is recognized; and a user interface module that displays a volume event occurrence indicator in response to the volume event notification module receiving a notification from the volume event determination module, and in response to the volume event notification module receiving the notification from the voice recognition module, determines if the volume event occurrence indicator for the recognized volume event is being displayed, and if a volume event occurrence indicator for the recognized volume event is being displayed, displays a volume event recognition indicator so as to associate the volume event recognition indicator with the volume event occurrence indicator. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
