  • Patent number: 11409390
    Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer-readable media for touch and speech interface, with audio location, includes structure and/or function whereby at least one processor: (i) receives a touch input from a touch device; (ii) establishes a touch-speech time window; (iii) receives a speech input from a speech device; (iii) determines whether the speech input is present in a global dictionary; (iv) determines a location of a sound source from the speech device; (v) determines whether the touch input and the location of the speech input are both within a same region; (vi) if the speech input is in the dictionary, determines whether the speech input has been received within the window; and (vii) if the speech input has been received within the window, and the touch input and the speech input are both within the same region, activates an action corresponding to both the touch input and the speech input.

  • Patent number: 10831297
    Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer-readable media for touch and speech interface includes structure and/or function whereby at least one processor: (i) receives an input from a touch sensitive input device; (ii) establishes a touch speech time window with respect to the received touch input; (iv) receives an input from a speech input device; (v) determines whether the received speech input is present in a global dictionary; (vi) if the received speech input is present in the global dictionary, determines whether the received speech input has been received within the established touch speech time window; and (vii) if the received speech input has been received within the established touch speech time window, activate an action corresponding to both the received touch input and the received speech input.
