Services identification and initiation for a speech-based interface to a mobile device
First Claim
1. A method of providing hands-free services using a mobile device having wireless access to computer-based services, comprising the steps of:
- (a) establishing a short range wireless connection between a mobile device and one or more audio devices that include at least a microphone and speaker;
(b) receiving at the mobile device speech inputted via the microphone from a user and sent via the short range wireless connection;
(c) wirelessly transmitting the speech input from the mobile device to a speech recognition server that provides automated speech recognition (ASR);
(d) receiving at the mobile device a speech recognition result representing the content of the speech input;
(e) Identifying a primary session context and an ancillary session context from the speech recognition result, wherein the ancillary session context is identified from the speech received from the user during step (b)(f) determining a desired service based on the primary session context by processing the speech recognition result using a first, service-identifying grammar;
(g) determining a user service request by processing at least some of the speech recognition result using a second, service-specific grammar associated with the desired service;
(h) determining another desired service based on the ancillary session context by processing the speech recognition result using the first, service-identifying grammar;
(i) initiating another desired service; and
(j) initiating the user service request and receiving a service response.

Abstract
A method of providing hands-free services using a mobile device having wireless access to computer-based services includes establishing a short range wireless connection between a mobile device and one or more audio devices that include at least a microphone and speaker; receiving at the mobile device speech inputted via the microphone from a user and sent via the short range wireless connection; wirelessly transmitting the speech input from the mobile device to a speech recognition server that provides automated speech recognition (ASR); receiving at the mobile device a speech recognition result representing the content of the speech input; determining a desired service by processing the speech recognition result using a first, service-identifying grammar; determining a user service request by processing at least some of the speech recognition result using a second, service-specific grammar associated with the desired service; initiating the user service request and receiving a service response; generating an audio message from the service response; and presenting the audio message to the user via the speaker.
