Abstract
The present application describes systems, articles of manufacture, and methods for continuous speech recognition for mobile computing devices. One embodiment includes determining whether a mobile computing device is receiving operating power from an external power source or a battery power source, and activating a trigger word detection subroutine in response to determining that the mobile computing device is receiving power from the external power source. In some embodiments, the trigger word detection subroutine operates continually while the mobile computing device is receiving power from the external power source. The trigger word detection subroutine includes determining whether a plurality of spoken words received via a microphone includes one or more trigger words, and in response to determining that the plurality of spoken words includes at least one trigger word, launching an application corresponding to the at least one trigger word included in the plurality of spoken words.

21. A method comprising:
-
receiving a first input at a computing device; and in response to the first input, the computing device taking a trigger word detection action, wherein the trigger word detection action includes; receiving spoken input via a microphone of the computing device, determining whether the spoken input includes one or more trigger words associated with a voice command prompt action, and in response to determining that the spoken input includes the one or more trigger words associated with the voice command prompt action, taking the voice command prompt action which includes; receiving, via the microphone, additional spoken input that causes the computing device to take one or more other actions, and displaying a voice command prompt using the computing device at least until the computing device has begun to take the one or more other actions. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A computing device comprising:
-
a sound detector; a display; a power selector configured to selectively power the computing device from one of either an external power source or one or more batteries; and one or more processors configured for; receiving a first input at the computing device; and in response to the first input, taking a trigger word detection action, wherein the trigger word detection action includes; receiving spoken input via the sound detector, determining whether the spoken input includes one or more trigger words associated with a voice command prompt action, and in response to determining that the spoken input includes the one or more trigger words associated with the voice command prompt action, taking the voice command prompt action which includes; receiving, via the sound detector, additional spoken input that causes the computing device to take one or more other actions, and displaying a voice command prompt using the computing device at least until the computing device has begun to take the one or more other actions. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein executable instructions that, when executed by a computing device having at least one processor, causes the computing device to perform functions comprising:
-
receiving a first input; and in response to the first input, taking a trigger word detection action, wherein the trigger word detection action includes; receiving spoken input via a microphone, determining whether the spoken input includes one or more trigger words associated with a voice command prompt action, and in response to determining that the spoken input includes the one or more trigger words associated with the voice command prompt action, taking the voice command prompt action which includes; receiving, via the microphone, additional spoken input that causes the computing device to take one or more other actions, and displaying a voice command prompt using the computing device at least until the computing device has begun to take the one or more other actions. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40)
