Mar 23, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/729573

Inventors:

Thomas Barton Schalk - Plano TX, US
Leonel Saenz - Carrollton TX, US
Barry Burch - Dallas TX, US

International Classification:

G10L 21/00

US Classification:

704201, 704235, 704275, 704E21001

Abstract:

A system and method for implementing a server-based speech recognition system for multi-modal automated interaction in a vehicle includes receiving, by a vehicle driver, audio prompts by an on-board human-to-machine interface and a response with speech to complete tasks such as creating and sending text messages, web browsing, navigation, etc. This service-oriented architecture is utilized to call upon specialized speech recognizers in an adaptive fashion. The human-to-machine interface enables completion of a text input task while driving a vehicle in a way that minimizes the frequency of the driver's visual and mechanical interactions with the interface, thereby eliminating unsafe distractions during driving conditions. After the initial prompting, the typing task is followed by a computerized verbalization of the text. Subsequent interface steps can be visual in nature, or involve only sound.

International Classification:

H04W 8/00
G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709217

Abstract:

A content delivery system includes a remote data center in wireless communication with a vehicle telematics system. The remote data center includes a content server, an automated voice recognition system, and a database. The remote data center utilizes combinations of GPS information, voice automation technology, and preconfigured vehicle operator preferences to deliver content to vehicles over a wireless link. The content delivery system includes a web portal at which vehicle operators configure personal profiles, including information regarding personal preferences and/or information pertaining to application access. The web portal feeds the profile information to the remote data center over a remote Internet connection. The remote data center stores the preconfigured vehicle operator profiles in the database, which is later accessed in response to vehicle operator commands recognized by the voice recognition system.

International Classification:

H04M 9/08

US Classification:

455570, 37940601, 37940604, 37940615

Abstract:

The present invention provides mechanisms for removing duplicate signals during a communication session. More particularly an over-air signal is received at a given endpoint and a stream of electronic data is monitored at the same endpoint for a duplicate to the over-air signal. If a duplicate is detected in the electronic data stream, it is removed so that only one occurrence of the signal is received at the endpoint.
