Method and apparatus for recognizing and reacting to user personality in accordance with speech recognition system
First Claim
1. A method of operating a voice user interface, the method comprising:
- customizing, for a user, one or more audio prompts presented to the user via the voice user interface based at least in part on at least one spoken utterance of the user, wherein customizing the one or more audio prompts based at least in part on the analysis comprises;
recognizing a personality trait associated with the user through analysis of the at least one spoken utterance of the user, wherein recognizing the personality trait comprises;
receiving at least one morphological attribute of a plurality of words spoken by the user in the at least one spoken utterance, the at least one morphological attribute comprising a number of compound words that are in the plurality of words; and
determining the personality trait associated with the user based at least in part on the at least one morphological attribute of the plurality of words spoken by the user, wherein the determining comprises determining whether the number of compound words exceeds a threshold; and
selecting, based at least in part on the personality trait, between presenting a first audio prompt or a second audio prompt via the voice user interface; and
outputting the one or more audio prompts, customized for the user, for presentation to the user via the voice user interface.

Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for recognizing user personality in accordance with a speech recognition system. For example, a technique for recognizing a personality trait associated with a user interacting with a speech recognition system includes the following steps/operations. One or more decoded spoken utterances of the user are obtained. The one or more decoded spoken utterances are generated by the speech recognition system. The one or more decoded spoken utterances are analyzed to determine one or more linguistic attributes (morphological and syntactic filters) that are associated with the one or more decoded spoken utterances. The personality trait associated with the user is then determined based on the analyzing step/operation.
