  • Patent number: 10685665
    Abstract: A method improves speech recognition using a device located in proximity to a machine emitting high levels of audio noise. The microphone of the device receives the audio noise emitted by the machine and the speech emitted by a user and generates a composite signal. The device also receives a wireless communication signal from the machine comprising information on an audio noise profile and the proximity of the machine relative to the device. The audio noise profile is a representation of the audio noise emitted by the machine. Based on this information, the device determines a filter for filtering the composite signal to mitigate the audio noise before initiating the speech recognition process. The method improves speech recognition in a high audio noise environment.

  • Patent number: 9872135
    Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium are provided. One system includes a transmit antenna, at least one receive antenna, and an imager configured to acquire one or more images in a scanning area having one or more radio frequency identifier (RFID) tags including an RFID tag of interest. The system further includes a controller configured to operate the transmit antenna and the at least one receive antenna to acquire location information from the RFID tags, wherein the controller is further configured to operate the imager to acquire the images while the location information is acquired. The system includes a processor configured to correlate the acquired location information and the one or more images to determine an image corresponding to a location of the RFID tag of interest. The system additionally includes a display configured to display the image corresponding to the location of the RFID tag of interest.
