Patent number: 11961522Abstract: The disclosure relates to an electronic apparatus for recognizing user voice and a method of recognizing, by the electronic apparatus, the user voice. According to an embodiment, the method of recognizing the user voice includes obtaining an audio signal segmented into a plurality of frame units, determining an energy component for each filter bank by applying a filter bank distributed according to a preset scale to a frequency spectrum of the audio signal segmented into the frame units, smoothing the determined energy component for each filter bank, extracting a feature vector of the audio signal based on the smoothed energy component for each filter bank, and recognizing the user voice in the audio signal by inputting the extracted feature vector to a voice recognition model.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chanwoo Kim, Dhananjaya N. Gowda, Sungsoo Kim, Minkyu Shin, Larry Paul Heck, Abhinav Garg, Kwangyoun Kim, Mehul Kumar

Patent number: 11532310Abstract: Provided is a system and method for recognizing a user's speech. A method, performed by a server, of providing a text string for a speech signal input to a device includes: receiving, from the device, an encoder output value derived from an encoder of an end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) model included in the device; identifying a domain corresponding to the received encoder output value; selecting a decoder corresponding to the identified domain from among a plurality of decoders of an end-to-end ASR model included in the server; obtaining a text string from the received encoder output value using the selected decoder; and providing the obtained text string to the device.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Chanwoo Kim, Dhananjaya N. Gowda, Kwangyoun Kim, Kyungmin Lee
