Patent Images
1. A method of controlling an electronic device, comprising:
- receiving a voice input that indicates speech recognition is requested;
determining whether the voice input is for a first mode or a second mode of speech recognition;
displaying a voice user interface on a display screen of the electronic device in response to determining that the voice input is for the first mode, the voice user interface shows one or more speech commands that are currently available;
providing speech recognition training through the voice user interface when in the first mode; and
controlling the electronic device based on a command in the voice input in response to determining that the voice input is for the second mode.

Abstract
Speech recognition techniques are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a novice mode is available such that when the user is unfamiliar with the speech recognition system, a voice user interface (VUI) may be provided to guide them. The VUI may display one or more speech commands that are presently available. The VUI may also provide feedback to train the user. After the user becomes more familiar with speech recognition, the user may enter speech commands without the aid of the novice mode. In this “experienced mode,” the VUI need not be displayed. Therefore, the user interface is not cluttered.

10. A multimedia system, comprising:
-
a monitor for displaying multimedia content; a microphone for capturing user sounds; and a computer connected to the microphone and the monitor, the computer driving the monitor, the computer receives a voice input from the microphone;
the computer determines whether the voice input is for a novice mode or an experienced mode of speech recognition;
the computer displays a voice user interface on the monitor in response to determining that the voice input is for the novice mode, the voice user interface shows one or more speech commands that are available;
the computer provides speech recognition training feedback through the voice user interface when in the novice mode;
the computer recognizes a speech recognition command in the voice input if the voice input is for the experienced mode, the speech recognition command is not presented in the voice user interface at the time of the voice input; and
the computer controls the multimedia system based on the speech recognition command in the voice input in response to recognizing the speech recognition command in the voice input. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A processor readable storage device having instructions stored thereon, the instructions for programming one or more processors to perform a method for controlling a multimedia system, the method comprising:
-
receiving a voice input when in a mode in which speech recognition is not currently being used to control the multimedia system; recognizing a trigger voice signal in the voice input; determining whether the trigger voice signal is followed by a presently valid speech command; displaying a speech recognition user interface on a display screen of the multimedia system in response to determining that the trigger voice signal is not followed by any presently valid speech commands, the speech recognition user interface shows one or more speech commands that are presently available to control the multimedia system, the one or more speech commands include the presently valid speech command; providing speech recognition training through the speech recognition user interface; and controlling the multimedia system based on the presently valid speech command if it is determined that the trigger voice signal is followed by the presently valid speech command, the controlling the multimedia system if the trigger voice signal is followed by the presently valid speech command is performed without displaying the speech recognition user interface on the display screen. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
