InactiveUS20130238326A1Accurate identificationEfficient and accurateSpeech recognitionSound input/outputComputer networkSpeech sound
In an environment including multiple electronic devices that are each capable of being controlled by a user's voice command, an individual device is able to distinguish a voice command intended particularly for the device from among other voice commands that are intended for other devices present in the common environment. The device is able to accomplish this distinction by identifying unique attributes belonging to the device itself from within a user's voice command. Thus only voice commands that include attribute information that are supported by the device will be recognized by the device, and other voice commands that include attribute information that are not supported by the device may be effectively ignored for voice control purposes of the device.
