Abstract: The present subject matter at least describes a method and a system (300, 1200) of performing speech-recognition in an electronic device having an embedded speech recognizer. The method comprises receiving an input-audio comprising speech at a device. In real-time, at-least one speech-recognition module is selected within at least one of the device and a server for recognition of at least a portion of the received speech based on a criteria defined in terms of a) past-performance of speech-recognition modules within the device and server; b) an orator of speech; and c) a quality of service associated with at least one of the device and a networking environment thereof. Based upon the selection of the server, output of the selected speech-recognition modules within the device are selected for processing by corresponding speech-recognition modules of the server. An uttered-speech is determined within the input-audio based on output of the selected speech-recognition modules of the device or the server.

Abstract: Detection of interaction events in recorded audio streams is disclosed, including: detecting an interaction event within a recorded audio stream; analyzing text before and after the interaction event in the recorded audio stream to determine a causer of the interaction event; and determining an action to be performed in response to the interaction event based at least in part on the causer of the interaction event.

Abstract: Automatic evaluation of recorded interactions is disclosed, including: detecting a plurality of signals in an interaction; combining at least a subset of the plurality of signals using a prescribed set of operators into a combined signal; and determining whether an event criterion has been met with respect to the interaction based at least in part on the combined signal.

Abstract: Signal processing devices normally filter the signal to reduce noise. Any filtering is likely to eliminate useful components of the signal too. A device for and method of signal processing is disclosed, wherein intrinsically clean signal cycles are selected for reproduction so that the processed signal retains components of all frequencies. A system that uses the disclosed device and the method for processing periodic physiological signals is also disclosed.

Abstract: This method for analysing the sounds of body fluid flows includes:—simultaneously acquiring (2) sounds from various locations of a body;—identifying (6) the points of maximum sound intensity (PMIs) of the acquired sounds for each acquisition instant;—determining (10) the source locations of the acquired sounds; and—determining (12, 14) the sound radiation patterns of the acquired sounds. A corresponding device, system and program perform this method.
