  • Publication number: 20140236582
    Abstract: Methods of enabling voice processing with minimal power consumption includes recording time-domain audio signal at a first clock frequency and a first voltage, and performing Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) operations on the time-domain audio signal at a second clock frequency to generate frequency-domain audio signal. The frequency domain audio signal may be enhanced to obtain better signal to noise ratio, through one or multiple filtering and enhancing techniques. The enhanced audio signal may be used to generate the total signal energy and estimate the background noise energy. Decision logic may determine from the signal energy and the background noise, the presence or absence of the human voice. The first clock frequency may be different from the second clock frequency.

    Abstract: A disclosed speech processor includes a front end to receive a speech input and generate a feature vector indicative of a portion of the speech input and a Gaussian mixture (GMM) circuit to receive the feature vector, model any one of a plurality of GMM speech recognition algorithms, and generate a GMM score for the feature vector based on the GMM speech recognition algorithm modeled. In at least one embodiment, the GMM circuit includes a common compute block to generate feature a vector sum indicative of a weighted sum of differences squares between the feature vector and a mixture component of the GMM speech recognition algorithm. In at least one embodiment, the GMM speech recognition algorithm being modeled includes a plurality of Gaussian mixture components and the common compute block is operable to generate feature vector scores corresponding to each of the plurality of mixture components.

  • Publication number: 20090169018
    Abstract: In some embodiments an accelerometer is mechanically coupled to a first device. The accelerometer obtains a vibration profile in response to a relative movement of the first device and a second device. A radio transmits an encrypted version of the vibration profile to the second device and receives an encrypted version of a vibration profile from the second device. A processor sets up a secure channel between the radio and the second device in which to exchange keys with the second device in order to decrypt the received encrypted vibration profile. The processor also decrypts the received encrypted vibration profile in response to at least one of the exchanged keys, compares the transmitted vibration profile with the received vibration profile and allows a sharing of resources with the second device if a match occurs between the transmitted vibration profile and the received vibration profile. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20080240266
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for improving communication between a transmitter and a receiver is disclosed. The method can include receiving a first signal having a first power level over a first path, receiving a second signal having a second power level over a second path wherein the first path is different than the second path. The method can compare the first power level with the second power and determine a difference between the first power level and the second power level. The method can also adjusting a parameter in the system to reduce the difference in power levels between the first and second signals compensating for interference cause by many sources.

  • Patent number: 7224981
    Abstract: Speech recognition in mobile processor-based devices may be improved by using location information. Location information may be derived from on-board hardware or from information provided remotely. The location information may assist in a variety of ways in improving speech recognition. For example, the ability to adapt to the local ambient conditions, including reverberation and noise characteristics, may be enhanced by location information. In some embodiments, pre-developed models or context information may be provided from a remote server for given locations.
