  • Patent number: 11417331
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for controlling a terminal, including the following operations: obtaining recognition results corresponding to control signals after receiving the control signals, and determining whether control instructions corresponding to the recognition results conflict, each control signal comprising at least one of a voice signal or a gesture signal; determining a credibility of each control instruction in response to a determination that there exists conflict among control instructions; and sending the control instruction with highest credibility to a control terminal. The present disclosure further provides a device for controlling a terminal and a computer readable storage medium. When control instructions are received and there exists conflict among control instructions, the control instruction with the highest credibility is sent to the control terminal after the credibility of each control instructions is determined, thereby avoiding settings from conflict.

  • Patent number: 10186256
    Abstract: Typical speech recognition systems usually use speaker-specific speech data to apply speaker adaptation to models and parameters associated with the speech recognition system. Given that speaker-specific speech data may not be available to the speech recognition system, information indicative of language skills is employed in adapting configurations of a speech recognition system. According to at least one example embodiment, a method and corresponding apparatus, for speech recognition comprise maintaining information indicative of language skills of users of the speech recognition system. A configuration of the speech recognition system for a user is determined based at least in part on corresponding information indicative of language skills of the user. Upon receiving speech data from the user, the configuration of the speech recognition system determined is employed in performing speech recognition.

  • Patent number: 9971765
    Abstract: Techniques for improved speech recognition disclosed herein include applying a statistical language model to a free-text input utterance to obtain a plurality of candidate word sequences for automatic speech recognition of the input utterance, each of the plurality of candidate word sequences having a corresponding initial score generated by the statistical language model. For one or more of the plurality of candidate word sequences, each of the one or more candidate word sequences may be analyzed to generate one or more hypotheses for a semantic class of at least one token in the respective candidate word sequence. The initial scores generated by the statistical language model for at least the one or more candidate word sequences may be revised based at least in part on the one or more hypotheses for the semantic class of the at least one token in each of the one or more candidate word sequences.

  • Patent number: 9572103
    Abstract: Embodiments included herein are directed towards a system and method for addressing discontinuous transmission (DTX) in a network device. Embodiments may include receiving, at a computing device, an audio signal and generating at least one silence descriptor (SID) frame associated with the audio signal. Embodiments may also include generating at least one no data frame associated with the audio signal. Embodiments may also include initiating a speech decoder, voice enhancement, and speech encoder operation for the at least one SID frame during a DTX operation and bypassing the speech decoder, voice enhancement, and speech encoder functions for the at least one no data frame.

  • Patent number: 7940092
    Abstract: An H bridge circuit includes a gate driver circuit coupled to a gate of an NMOS device. The output of the gate driver circuit is at a voltage from 0.1V to 0.4V during a dead time of the H bridge circuit. The gate voltage of the NMOS device is biased at 0.1˜0.4V to overcome the problems of minority carrier injection and power dissipation as compared with VG=0 in a conventional H bridge circuit.

  • Patent number: 6901366
    Abstract: The system retrieves information from the internet using multiple search engines that are simultaneously launched by the search engine commander. The commander is responsive to a speech-enabled system including a speech recognizer and natural language parser. The user speaks to the system in natural language requests, and the parser extracts the semantic content from the user's speech, based on a set of goal oriented grammars. The preferred system includes a fixed grammar and an updatable or downloaded grammar, allowing the system to be used without extensive training and yet capable of being customized for a particular user's purposes. Results obtained from the search engines are filtered based on information extracted from an electronic program guide and from prestored user profile data. The results may be displayed on screen or through synthesized speech.
