Abstract:
An advanced electronic vehicle alarm system allows control of alarm functions to be accomplished using specific spoken commands. A microphone (14) converts speech into time-variant voltage levels which are amplified and sent to a analog-to-digital converter and digitized. The digitized data is then processed by a speech recognition subsystem (10). The speech recognition subsystem (10) separates extraneous speech from words and provides corresponding output signals when control words are recognized. The output signals are preferably employed by the alarm system to operate door locking and unlocking controls (26), to operate a loud audible siren (20) and/or horn (22), to operate vehicle light controls (24), to provide engine (28) cut-off control, to provide engine (28) starting control or to operate a response indicator incorporated in the main alarm processing unit (12). The response indicator provides verbal responses to confirm spoken commands. A speaker verification capability is also included in the speech recognition subsystem (10) to allow for secured operation of the vehicle alarm system.
Abstract:
An advanced telecommunications system is provided for the recognizing of spoken commands over a cellular telephone (15), satellite telephone (14), or personal communications network (16). In the cellular application, for example, a Speech Recognition System (20) interconnects either internally with or as an external peripheral to a cellular telecommunications switch (12). The Speech Recognition System (20) includes an administrative subsystem (21), a call processing subsystem (23), a speaker-dependent recognition subsystem (25), a speaker-independent recognition subsystem (27), and a data storage subsystem (29). Pre-recorded instructional messages are stored in the memory of the call processing subsystem (23) for instructing a user on his or her progress in using the system. The speaker-independent recognition subsystem (27) allows the user to interact with the system employing non-user specific functions. User specific functions are controlled with the speaker-dependent recognition subsystem (25). User specific attributes collected by the recognition subsystems are stored in the data storage subsystem (29).

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.
