Systems and methods for voice based search
First Claim
1. A portable device, comprising:
- a computing device configured to detect a first change in orientation of the portable device;
wherein the computing device is configured to record a voice input from the user in response to the detection of the first change in orientation of the portable device;
wherein the computing device is configured to detect a second change in orientation of the portable device;
wherein the computing device is configured to stop recording in response to the detection of the second change in orientation of the portable device;
wherein the computing device is configured to submit the voice input from the portable device to a first server over a data communication channel;
wherein the computing device is configured to receive text recognized from the voice input from the first server;
wherein the computing device is configured to submit a search request generated based on the text from the portable device to a second server over the data communication channel;
wherein the computing device is configured to receive a search result responsive to the search request from the second server; and
wherein the computing device is configured to display the search result on the portable device.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to facilitate voice-based search of information. For example, a portable device may be in a first orientation to present a display of a graphical user interface, such as a search interface presented within a web browser of the portable device. When the portable device is in a second orientation different from the first orientation, the portable device records a voice input for the graphical user interface. When the portable device is back to the first orientation, the portable device applies the voice input to the graphical user interface. When the user shakes the portable device, the portable device re-initializes the graphical user interface for a subsequent input.

2. A method comprising:
-
detecting, via a computing device, a first change in orientation of a portable device; in response to detection of the first change in orientation of the portable device, recording, via the computing device, a voice input from the user; detecting, via the computing device, a second change in orientation of the portable device; in response to detection of the second change in orientation of the portable device, stopping, via the computing device, the recording; submitting, via the computing device, the voice input from the portable device to a first server over a data communication channel; receiving, via the computing device, text recognized from the voice input from the first server; submitting, via the computing device, a search request generated based on the text from the portable device to a second server over the data communication channel; receiving, via the computing device, a search result responsive to the search request from the second server; and displaying, via the computing device, the search result on the portable device. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A tangible machine readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing device, embedded in a portable device, cause the computing device to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
detecting a first change in orientation of the portable device; in response to detection of the first change in orientation of the portable device, recording a voice input from the user; detecting a second change in orientation of the portable device; in response to detection of the second change in orientation of the portable device, stopping the recording; submitting the voice input from the portable device to a first server over a data communication channel; receiving text recognized from the voice input from the first server; submitting a search request generated based on the text from the portable device to a second server over the data communication channel; receiving a search result responsive to the search request from the second server; and displaying the search result on the portable device.
