1. A method for identifying a user group in connection with user group-based speech recognition, the method comprising acts of:
- receiving, from a user, by at least one computer, a user group identifier,wherein the user group identifier identifies a user group to which the user was previously assigned prior to the receiving of the user group identifier by the at least one computer,wherein the assignment of the user to the user group was based on training data comprising at least one speech utterance from the user,wherein the user group identifier is shared by each of a plurality of individuals assigned to the user group based on one or more similar speech characteristics, andwherein the user group identifier uniquely identifies a pattern processing data set shared by each of the plurality of individuals, including the user, that are assigned to the user group via the user group identifier;
selecting, using at least one computer, the pattern processing data set identified by the user group identifier corresponding to the user group; and
receiving speech input from the user to be recognized using the pattern processing data set using at least one computer.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for identifying a user group in connection with user group-based speech recognition. An exemplary method comprises receiving, from a user, a user group identifier that identifies a user group to which the user was previously assigned based on training data. The user group comprises a plurality of individuals including the user. The method further comprises using the user group identifier, identifying a pattern processing data set corresponding to the user group, and receiving speech input from the user to be recognized using the pattern processing data set.

8. An apparatus for identifying a user group in connection with user group-based speech recognition, the apparatus comprising:
-
at least one user interface; at least one memory to store processor-executable instructions; and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the at least one user interface and the at least one memory, wherein upon execution of the processor-executable instructions by the at least one processor, the at least one processor; controls the at least one user interface to receive, from a user, a user group identifier, wherein the user group identifier identifies a user group to which the user was previously assigned prior to the receiving of the user group identifier by the at least one user interface, wherein the assignment of the user to the group was based on training data comprising at least one speech utterance from the user, wherein the user group identifier is shared by each of a plurality of individuals assigned to the user group based on one or more similar speech characteristics, and wherein the user group identifier uniquely identifies a pattern processing data set shared by each of the plurality of individuals, including the user, that are assigned to the user group via the user group identifier; using the user group identifier, selects the pattern processing data set identified by the user group identifier corresponding to the user group; and controls the at least one user interface to receive speech input from the user to be recognized using the pattern processing data set. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. At least one computer-readable storage device encoded with instructions that, when executed on at least one processor, perform a method for identifying a user group in connection with user group-based speech recognition, the method comprising:
-
electronically receiving, from a user, a user group identifier, wherein the user group identifier identifies a user group to which the user was previously assigned prior to the receiving of the user group identifier, wherein the assignment of the user to the user group was based on training data comprising at least one speech utterance from the user, wherein the user group identifier is shared by each of a plurality of individuals assigned to the user group based on one or more similar speech characteristics, and wherein the user group identifiers uniquely identifies a pattern processing data set shared by each of the plurality of individuals, including the user, that are assigned to the user group via the user group identifier; using the user group identifier, selecting the pattern processing data set identified by the user group identifier corresponding to the user group; and electronically receiving speech input from the user to be recognized using the pattern processing data set. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
