1. A computing device comprising:
- a sensor to detect a user viewing the computing device;
an output device to output a cue in response to detecting the user viewing the computing device; and
a controller to;
determine if the user has viewed the computing device for a predetermined amount of time;
authenticate the user using facial recognition in response to determining that the user has viewed the computing device for the predetermined amount of time;
in response to successfully authenticating the user;
launch a listening mode of the computing device to receive an audio input from the user with a hardware audio input component,load a speech profile of the user, the speech profile comprising information of a speech pattern of the user, andrecognize a command in the audio input from the user using the information of the speech pattern in the speech profile; and
disable the listening mode of the computing device in response to failing to authenticate the user.

1. A computing device comprising:
-
a sensor to detect a user viewing the computing device; an output device to output a cue in response to detecting the user viewing the computing device; and a controller to; determine if the user has viewed the computing device for a predetermined amount of time; authenticate the user using facial recognition in response to determining that the user has viewed the computing device for the predetermined amount of time; in response to successfully authenticating the user; launch a listening mode of the computing device to receive an audio input from the user with a hardware audio input component, load a speech profile of the user, the speech profile comprising information of a speech pattern of the user, and recognize a command in the audio input from the user using the information of the speech pattern in the speech profile; and disable the listening mode of the computing device in response to failing to authenticate the user. - View Dependent Claims (2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A method of a computing device, comprising:
-
detecting, using a sensor, a user viewing the computing device; outputting a cue with an output component in response to detecting the user viewing the computing device; determining if the user has viewed the computing device for a predetermined amount of time; authenticating the user with facial recognition technology in response to determining that the user has viewed the computing device for the predetermined amount of time; in response to successfully authenticating the user; launching a listening mode of the computing device to receive an audio input from the user with a hardware audio input component, loading a speech profile of the user, the speech profile comprising information of a speech pattern of the user, and recognizing a command in the audio input from the user using the information of the speech pattern in the speech profile; and disabling the listening mode of the computing device in response to failing to authenticate the user. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that if executed cause a controller to:
-
detect, using a sensor, a user viewing a computing device; output a cue with an output component in response to detecting the user viewing the computing device; determine if the user continues to view the output component for a predetermined amount of time in association with the cue being outputted; authenticate the user using facial recognition in response to determining that the user has viewed the output component for the predetermined amount of time; in response to successfully authenticating the user; launch a listening mode of the computing device to receive an audio input from the user, load a speech profile of the user, the speech profile comprising information of a speech pattern of the user, and recognize a command in the audio input from the user using the information of the speech pattern in the speech profile; and disable the listening mode of the computing device in response to failing to authenticate the user. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
