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:
A toll call service center accessible by subscribers to the service. Subscribers have their own set of identifiers uniquely associated with a plurality of called stations desired to be accessed. The center comprises a voice command system (10) having a storage (16) for storing representations of the identifiers at storage locations uniquely identified with the subscriber. Command system (10) also includes an announcing circuit and a processor (30). Processor (30) is responsive to reception of an incoming call from a subscriber for controlling the announcing circuit to request the subscriber to speak an identifier associated with one of the plurality of called stations. A voice recognizer (48) is responsive to receipt of the identifier for determining whether the identifier is valid. If the identifier is recognized as belonging to the subscriber, the processor controls an outdialer (24) to dial the telephone number of the called station associated with the identifier.
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.
