Abstract

The invention discloses a user interface for an electronic device and a method for interfacing with the electronic device. The user interface includes sensors and interfaces. The sensor is able to sense and generate an indication of the user's physical movements associated with verbal communication. The sensor can then provide the indication to the electronic device via the interface. The method includes sensing physical movement of a user and, in response to sensing the physical movement, indicating to the electronic device initiation of the verbal communication.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to speech-based systems, and more particularly to initiating oral communication with speech-based systems. Background technique [0002] Humans interface with various electronic devices in various ways. The way in which humans interface with an electronic device depends largely on the function of the device. For example, computers typically rely at times on data input from a user, and traditionally such input has come from a keyboard, mouse, or some other type of peripheral device. However, mobile phones not only receive input through the keyboard, but also verbal input through the microphone. But the predominant situation is that the user interfaces with the device to inform the device of the information to be processed. [0003] A trend towards "hands-free" interfaces can be detected in interface technology. In many cases, one may need or desire to interface with electronic devices without requiring extensi...
