Speech Recognition System And Method

US Patent:
8175883, May 8, 2012
Filed:
Jul 8, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/179034
Inventors:
Richard Grant - Davie FL, US
Pedro E. McGregor - Miami FL, US
Assignee:
Nuance Communications, Inc. - Burlington MA
International Classification:
G10L 21/00
US Classification:
704270, 704275, 704257, 704249, 7042701
Abstract:
According to the present invention, a method for integrating processes with a multi-faceted human centered interface is provided. The interface is facilitated to implement a hands free, voice driven environment to control processes and applications. A natural language model is used to parse voice initiated commands and data, and to route those voice initiated inputs to the required applications or processes. The use of an intelligent context based parser allows the system to intelligently determine what processes are required to complete a task which is initiated using natural language. A single window environment provides an interface which is comfortable to the user by preventing the occurrence of distracting windows from appearing. The single window has a plurality of facets which allow distinct viewing areas. Each facet has an independent process routing its outputs thereto.

Apr 11, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/444352
Inventors:
Richard Grant - Davie FL, US
Pedro E. McGregor - Miami FL, US
Assignee:

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for initiating an action using a voice-controlled human interface. The interface provides a hands free, voice driven environment to control processes and applications. According to one embodiment, a method comprises electronically receiving first user input, parsing the first user input to determine whether the first user input contains a command activation statement that cues a voice-controlled human interface to enter a command mode in which a second user input comprising a voice signal is processed to identify at least one executable command and, in response to determining that the first user input comprises the command activation statement, identifying the at least one executable command in the second user input.

Method For Processing Telephone Orders

US Patent:
8595078, Nov 26, 2013
Filed:
Oct 14, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/682635
Inventors:
Maureen Winter - Davie FL, US
Richard Grant - Davie FL, US
International Classification:
G06Q 30/00
US Classification:
705 261
Abstract:
A method for completing an order from a free-form input from a customer, such as by phone, SMS, IM or e-mail. The customer input has discrete components. The individually recognized components are compared to a list of predefined elements, and each possible predefined element present in the order is recognized and then put into a possible order. If all of the components necessary for a complete order are present in the input, either by being recognized or inferred, an order is established and complete. The completed order is passed on to the next stage in the process, whether it is shipping or assembling for satisfying the order.

System And Method For Processing Orders From A Menu

US Patent:
2007027, Nov 29, 2007
Filed:
May 14, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/803492
Inventors:
Richard Grant - Davie FL, US
International Classification:
G06Q 10/00, G06Q 30/00
US Classification:
705 1
Abstract:
Methods for presenting options on a telephone based, tree-structured, ordering system. The methods include re-sequencing the menus based upon the individual user's ordering history. When a menu is re-sequenced, the new order of the menu is structured so that the individual menu items are presented to the user in the order deemed to reflect the likelihood that the user will most likely order the first item on the menu. The second-most-likely-to-be-ordered item is presented second, and so on. Additionally, the user may navigate through the menu either by following the menu, or by choosing items from anywhere on the menu, even if the option selected is not one currently being presented to the user. The user may also navigate through the menu tree in a non-linear fashion, such as by repeating or skipping menu items.
