Embodiment Construction

[0012] In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous examples and details are set forth in order to provide an understanding of specific embodiments. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that certain embodiments may be practiced without some of these details or may be practiced with modifications or equivalents to these details.

[0013] 1 Overview

[0014] Embodiments of the present invention are directed to smart listening modes that allow electronic devices to support "quasi-always listening" (ie, always-listening functionality that is dynamically and autonomously enabled and disabled by the device). More specifically, with these smart listening modes, the electronic device can automatically enable (i.e., switch on) the device in scenarios where the device determines that the likelihood that the user is speaking (or is about to speak) into the device is relatively high. and can automatically deactivate (i.e., turn off) the always-li...

Abstract

Smart listening modes for supporting quasi always-on listening on an electronic device are provided. In one embodiment, the electronic device can determine that a user is likely to utter a voice trigger in order to access the always-on listening functionality of the electronic device. In response to this determination, the electronic device can automatically enable the always-on listening functionality. Similarly, the electronic device can determine that a user is no longer likely to utter the voice trigger in order to access the always-on listening functionality of the electronic device. In response to this second determination, the electronic device can automatically disable the always-on listening functionality.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application asserts U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 327,112, filed April 25, 2016, entitled "SMART LISTENING MODES SUPPORTING QUASI ALWAYS-ON VOICE PROCESSING" rights and priorities. The entire content of this application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. technical field [0003] This application relates to electronic devices, in particular to smart listening modes that support quasi-always listening. Background technique [0004] Many electronic devices available today support "always listening," which involves continuous listening for a specific wake word or phrase (also known as a voice trigger) and then processing subsequent utterances as part of a natural language interface. While this feature is useful for enabling hands-free command and control of such devices, the process of hearing and recognizing voice triggers is a computationally complex task requiring ...
