Patent number: 7804494Abstract: A mobile personal digital assistant (PDA) allows a user to enter information using both a touch screen and voice commands with a stylus. The stylus includes a microphone positioned at one end, and a transmitter for transmitting received voice signals to either a personal computer (PC) or the PDA. In one embodiment, a wireless stylus also includes a power supply and an activation control switch. The PC is used to translate the voice signals into translated voice data which is transmitted to the PDA for storage and display. If the user and the PDA are located remotely from the receiving PC, voice signals are stored in the PDA until a later time when the PC can translate the received voice signals. Where the PDA contains a processor to translate received voice signals, the stylus transmits directly to the PDA, and the PDA translates the received voice signals.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2010Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jim A. Larson, Ben S. Wymore

Patent number: 6738743Abstract: The invention relates to unified client-server distributed architectures for spoken dialogue systems. Particularly, the invention provides a method, apparatus, and system for dynamically switching between various architectural configurations based upon user functionality and network conditions to implement speech recognition functions for a spoken dialogue system. In one embodiment, a client device is coupled to a server through a network. A configuration selection switch located within the client device selects a configuration based upon user functionality and network conditions to implement speech recognition functions for the spoken dialogue system. For example, the configuration selection switch may select one of a client-based configuration, a server-based configuration, a client-server distributed configuration, or a client-gateway-server distributed configuration based upon user functionality and network conditions.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2001Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Sangita R.

Publication number: 20020138274Abstract: The invention provides for the adaption of acoustic models for a client device at a server. For example, a server can couple to a client device having speech recognition functionality. An acoustic model adaptor can be located at the server and can be used to adapt an acoustic model for the client device. The client device can be a mobile computing device and the server can be coupled to the mobile client device through a network. The acoustic model adaptor adapts the acoustic model for the mobile client device based upon digitized raw speech data or extracted speech feature data received from the client device when there is a network connection between the client device and the server. The server stores the adapted acoustic model. The mobile client device can download the adapted acoustic model and store the adapted acoustic model locally at the client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2001Publication date: September 26, 2002Inventors: Sangita R.
