Abstract

An embodiment provides a system and method for sharing between computing devices via a sharing interface, a speech recognition program profile for one or more applications. Another embodiment provides a system and method for sharing between computing devices via an sharing interface, a speech recognition program profile for one or more games. In an embodiment of the invention a personal computer or tablet may comprise a computing device and or a sharing interface. In an embodiment of the invention a cell phone may comprise a computing device and or a sharing interface. In an embodiment of the invention a game play device may be a computing device and or a sharing interface.

Claims

1. A method of sharing one or more speech recognition program profiles for applications, the method comprising:

receiving, at a sharing interface, a speech recognition program profile for an application from a first computing device, wherein the speech recognition program profile for the application further comprises a grammar that is indicative of one or more speech commands executable by the application, one or more application actions associated with speech commands, and identification data indicating an application for which the grammar of the speech recognition program profile is executable;

receiving, from a requesting speech recognition software in a second computing device, a request for information describing one or more speech recognition program profiles for one or more applications;

providing from the sharing interface to the requesting speech recognition software in the second computing device information describing one or more speech recognition program profiles that are accessible via the sharing interface;

based on the information describing the one or more speech recognition program profiles, receiving a selection of one or more of the speech recognition program profiles that are accessible via the sharing interface for download into the requesting speech recognition software in the second computing device; and

providing, from the sharing interface to the requesting speech recognition software in the second computing device, the selected one or more speech recognition program profiles.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the sharing interface comprises a website.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the sharing interface comprises one or more databases.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the sharing interface comprises a database accessible via a website, wherein the database is configured to store the one or more speech recognition program profiles for one or more applications.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, at the sharing interface from the second computing device, an account access credential; and

based on the account access credential being verified, providing from the sharing interface to the requesting speech recognition software in the second computing device the information describing one or more speech recognition program profiles that are accessible via the sharing interface.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, at the sharing interface from one or more computing devices, speech recognition program profiles for associated applications;

making the speech recognition program profiles available for download into one or more additional computing devices.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

receiving, at the sharing interface from the one or more computing devices, information indicative of one or more users that can download the speech recognition program profiles that the one or more computing devices uploaded.

8. A computer-readable memory having stored therein instructions, that when executed by a device, cause the device to perform functions comprising:

receiving, at a sharing interface from one or more computing devices, speech recognition program profiles for associated applications, wherein the speech recognition program profile for the application further comprises a grammar that is indicative of one or more speech commands executable by the application, one or more application actions associated with speech commands, and identification data indicating an application for which the grammar of the speech recognition program profile is executable;

making the speech recognition program profiles available for download into one or more additional computing devices;

receiving, from a requesting speech recognition software in a given computing device, a request for information describing one or more speech recognition program profiles for one or more applications;

providing from the sharing interface to the requesting speech recognition software in the given computing device information describing one or more speech recognition program profiles that are accessible via the sharing interface;

based on the information describing the one or more speech recognition program profiles, receiving a selection of one or more of the speech recognition program profiles that are accessible via the sharing interface for download into the requesting speech recognition software in the given computing device; and

providing, from the sharing interface to the requesting speech recognition software in the given computing device, the selected one or more speech recognition program profiles.

9. The computer-readable memory of claim 8, further comprising:

receiving, at the sharing interface from the given computing device, an account access credential; and

based on the account access credential being verified, providing from the sharing interface to the requesting speech recognition software in the given computing device the information describing one or more speech recognition program profiles that are accessible via the sharing interface.

10. A method of sharing one or more speech recognition program profiles for applications, the method comprising:

providing, from a requesting speech recognition software in a computing device to a sharing interface, a request for information describing one or more speech recognition program profiles for one or more applications;

receiving from the sharing interface information describing one or more speech recognition program profiles that are accessible via the sharing interface, wherein the speech recognition program profile for the application further comprises a grammar that is indicative of one or more speech commands executable by the application, one or more application actions associated with speech commands, and identification data indicating an application for which the grammar of the speech recognition program profile is executable;

based on the information describing the one or more speech recognition program profiles, providing a selection of one or more of the speech recognition program profiles that are accessible via the sharing interface for download into the requesting speech recognition software in the computing device; and

receiving, from the sharing interface at the requesting speech recognition software in the computing device, the selected one or more speech recognition program profiles for download into the computing device.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising the computing device sharing one or more speech recognition program profiles for applications with the sharing interface.

12. The method of claim 10, further comprising updating the requesting speech recognition software with the downloaded one or more speech recognition program profiles.

13. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

modifying the downloaded speech recognition program profile; and

sharing the modified speech recognition program profile to the sharing interface so as to make the modified speech recognition program profile available for download into one or more additional computing devices.

14. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

providing, to the sharing interface from the computing device, information indicative of one or more users that can download the speech recognition program profiles that the computing device uploaded.
