Method and apparatus for intention based communications for mobile communication devices
First Claim
1. A method for intention-based communications in a mobile communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving an input from a user of the mobile communication device;
converting speech portions in the user'"'"'s input into linguistic representations;
generating a phoneme lattice based on the linguistic representations;
scoring stored intention n-grams against the generated phoneme lattice;
scoring intentions from the intention-n grams;
determining the highest scoring intention; and
determining whether the highest scoring intention is above a predetermined threshold, wherein if the highest scoring intention is above the predetermined threshold, then executing the determined intention.

8. An apparatus for intention-based communications in a mobile communication device, the apparatus comprising:
-
an automatic speech recognizer that receives an input from a user of the mobile communication device and converts speech portions in the user'"'"'s input into linguistic representations; a phoneme lattice generator that generates a phoneme lattice based on the linguistic representations; and an intention determination unit that scores stored intention n-grams against the generated phoneme lattice, scores intentions from the intention n-grams, determines the highest scoring intention, and determines whether the highest scoring intention is above a predetermined threshold, wherein if the highest scoring intention is above the predetermined threshold, then the intention determination unit executes the determined intention. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A mobile communication device comprising:
-
an intention n-gram database that stores intention n-grams generated from stored intention attributes and stored audio; and an intention determination engine that receives an input from a user of the mobile communication device and converts speech portions in the user'"'"'s input into linguistic representations, generates a phoneme lattice based on the linguistic representations, scores stored intention n-grams against the generated phoneme lattice, scores intentions from the intention n grams, determines the highest scoring intention, and determines whether the highest scoring intention is above a predetermined threshold, wherein if the highest scoring intention is above the predetermined threshold, then the intention determination engine executes the determined intention. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
