Embodiment Construction

[0012] In this disclosure, the conversion of name data and nicknames to first name, last name and nickname (when appropriate) enables a more natural recognition of contacts using speech input. By maintaining a score (quality parameter) for each step in the transformation, the confidence of the resulting data can be inferred.

[0013] The transformation process is a series of discrete sanitization operations that modify the input string source representing name data (such as full name, first name, nickname, etc.) in an attempt to remove common complex patterns and ambiguous String components to generate spellable names.

[0014] This transformation process may implement a transformation step performed on an input string characterizing a contact's name data / nickname in an attempt to decipher "leet speak". "Internet language" is the form of replacing letters in contact names with numbers and symbols. For example, the goal is to transform "S0meG1rl" into the spellable word "Some...

Abstract

A method of using speech input to identify a contact in a communication system, the method comprising: receiving an input string of characters characterizing a contact and which cannot be recognized by a human voice when literally read spelling; performing at least one transformation step to transform at least one character in the input string to generate a spellable name for the contact; and outputting the spellable name for input using speech A communication event is established with the contact.

Description

Background technique [0001] Contact identification on services such as Skype and Xbox Live often includes metadata like username, game tag, nickname, first name, last name, or combinations thereof. Some user groups actually encourage a certain level of "digital anonymity" in contact names. For example, the nickname "S0meG1rl" is intended to be pronounced "Some Girl", but cannot be pronounced correctly if read literally. This is a challenge for software trying to easily identify contacts using speech recognition without a high degree of (inconsequential) user interaction. [0002] The communication system attempts to address the above problems by doing one (or more) of the following: forcing the user to type in additional spellable metadata; The name "Chr1s" is completely unavailable in speech recognition commands. Contents of the invention [0003] This topic is about a method. The method is a method of identifying contacts in a communication system using speech input. ...
