  • Method for controlling a device
    Patent number: 9323414
    Abstract: A device with a graphical user interface, via which the functions of the device are controlled has functions divided into categories which are sub-divided into subcategories. The categories are represented by primary regions that are schematically arranged on the user interface. The primary regions contain elements, each of which represents a sub-category of the category of the respective primary region. In addition, only one primary region is expanded by the display of a secondary region after an element has been selected. The secondary region contains control elements for at least one function that is assigned to the sub-category representing the selected element. The at least one function is controlled by the control elements.

  • Speech-processing system and method
    Patent number: 7286989
    Abstract: A speech processing system has an arbitrary number of speech recognition modules (Ei, i=1 . . . n) and speech output modules (Aj, j?1 . . . m). The modules provided respectively for a particular type of speech recognition or, respectively, speech output are selected and activated and parameterized according to the situation of application, dependent on an input signal (ES), by a device (MA) for selecting the modules, so that the selected modules are applied for speech recognition or, respectively, speech output corresponding to their construction.
