Systems and methods for searching databases by sound input
First Claim
1. A method for providing hosting for speech recognition database query handling, the method comprising:
- receiving a database on a computer system over a network, the database comprising a plurality of items for recognition;
processing the database using the computer system, the processing comprising;
generating corresponding features for each of one or more of the plurality items for recognition; and
generating corresponding rankings for each of one or more of the plurality of items for recognition;
receiving on the computer system over the network a sound data input comprising a query for the processed database;
determining one or more search results in the processed database using the computer system based on the query, the corresponding features, and the corresponding rankings, the processed database being the processed database that is processed to generate each of the corresponding features and the corresponding rankings; and
transmitting the one or more search results from the computer system to a remote computer system, the corresponding rankings affecting an organization of the one or more search results.

Abstract
Systems and methods for searching databases by sound data input are provided herein. A service provider may have a need to make their database(s) searchable through search technology. However, the service provider may not have the resources to implement such search technology. The search technology may allow for search queries using sound data input. The technology described herein provides a solution addressing the service provider'"'"'s need, by giving a search technology that furnishes search results in a fast, accurate manner. In further embodiments, systems and methods to monetize those search results are also described herein.

15. A method for providing for speech recognition database query handling, the method comprising:
-
receiving a database on a computer system over a network, the database comprising a plurality of items for recognition; processing the database using the computer system, the processing comprising generating corresponding phonetic data for each of one or more of the plurality of items for recognition, the generating corresponding phonetic data comprising transforming text data from an item for recognition into phonetic data; receiving on the computer system over the network a sound data input comprising a query for the processed database; processing the query by dividing the query into a plurality of query chunks; determining one or more search results in the processed database using the computer system based on one or more of the plurality of query chunks and the corresponding phonetic data; and selectively transmitting, for display in real time to a remote computer system from the computer system, one or more fields of the one or more search results, the one or more fields being related to the one or more search results. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A system for providing for speech recognition database query handling, the system comprising:
-
a communications module configured to receive a database on a computer system over a network, the database comprising a plurality of items for recognition; and a processor for executing instructions stored in memory to; generate corresponding phonetic data for each of one or more of the plurality items for recognition by transforming text data from an item for recognition into phonetic data; store the corresponding phonetic data in the database, thereby resulting in a processed database; receive on the computer system over the network a sound data input comprising a query for the processed database; process the query by dividing the query into a plurality of query chunks; determine one or more search results in the processed database using the computer system based on one or more of the plurality of query chunks and the corresponding phonetic data; and selectively transmit, for display in real time to a remote computer system from the computer system, via the network, one or more fields of the one or more search results, the one or more fields being related to the one or more search results.
