Speech Recognition System For Electronic Switches In A Non-Wireline Communications Network
US Patent:
6501966, Dec 31, 2002
Filed:
Nov 27, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/722810
Inventors:
Bernard F. Bareis - Dallas TX
Peter J. Foster - Dallas TX
Thomas B. Schalk - Dallas TX
Peter J. Foster - Dallas TX
Thomas B. Schalk - Dallas TX
Assignee:
Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. - Eindhoven
International Classification:
H04B 138
US Classification:
455563, 455414, 379 8801, 379 8803
Abstract:
An advanced telecommunications system is provided for the recognizing of spoken commands over a cellular telephone, satellite telephone, or personal communications network. In the cellular application, for example, a Speech Recognition System interconnects either internally with or as an external peripheral to a cellular telecommunications switch. The Speech Recognition System includes an administrative subsystem, a call processing subsystem, a speaker-dependent recognition subsystem, a speaker-independent recognition subsystem, and a data storage subsystem. The Speech Recognition System also allows for increased efficiency in the cellular telephone network by integrating with the switch or switches as a shared resource. The administrative subsystem of the Speech Recognition System is used to keep statistical logs of pertinent call information. Pre-recorded instructional messages are stored in the memory of the call processing subsystem for instructing a user on his or her progress in using the system.

Speech Recognition System For Electronic Switches In A Non-Wireline Communications Network
US Patent:
8019387, Sep 13, 2011
Filed:
Dec 2, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/326753
Inventors:
Bernard F. Bareis - Dallas TX, US
Peter J. Foster - Dallas TX, US
Thomas B. Schalk - Dallas TX, US
Peter J. Foster - Dallas TX, US
Thomas B. Schalk - Dallas TX, US
Assignee:
Nuance Communications, Inc. - Burlington MA
International Classification:
H04B 1/38
US Classification:
455563, 455560, 455564
Abstract:
Voice activated dialing is described for use in a mobile telecommunications system. A voice input is received from a wireless network user. A telephone number to be dialed is determined by using speaker independent speech recognition to interpret a string of spoken digits in the voice input to determine the telephone number, or using speaker dependent speech recognition to interpret a spoken word in the voice input to determine the telephone number. A telephone call is then initiated by dialing the telephone number.
Auto Attendant Having Natural Names Database Library
US Patent:
6502075, Dec 31, 2002
Filed:
Mar 26, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/276928
Inventors:
Kim S. Terry - Plano TX
Peter J. Foster - Dallas TX
Peter J. Foster - Dallas TX
Assignee:
Koninklijke Philips Electronics, N.V. - Eindhoven
International Classification:
G10L 1700
US Classification:
704275, 704255
Abstract:
An automated telephone operator platform (e. g. , an auto attendant) has a natural names library associated therewith. The natural names library comprises a large database of audio files representing common objects expected to be recognized by a telephone-based ASR application associated with or executing on the platform. Whenever the ASR application requires playback of an object file (e. g. , a users name associated with a mailbox), the system first determines whether the user has recorded a sample of his or her own voice. If so, the users actual voice sample is output. If, however, the users actual voice sample is not available or has not been recorded, the ASR application accesses the database to retreive objects files from which it then builds an appropriate output string.
