Patent Package
Voice Activation
available for sale or licensing
The "Voice Activation" patent package can be used for all types of virtual assistants including smart speakers, smart TVs, smartphones, navigation and entertainment systems in cars, and more.
Conversations, radio, and television should not trigger unwanted responses!
No voice response if voice command is not relevant:
Example 1
The smart speaker detects the activation word or phrase “Hey Godid.” The advanced voice processing system in the cloud realizes that only the sound of a TV set is following the activation word, and the smart speaker does not output an unsought voice response. Instead, an optical signal may be output (LED, optional).
Example 2
The smart speaker triggers voice activation because for the local system, the beginning of “Abigail ” sounds like the activation word “Abbie.” However, the advanced voice recognition system in the cloud realizes that the activation word has been recognized in error (cloud-based wake word verification), and the smart speaker does not output a voice response.

Activation word at the beginning,
at the end
, or
within
the utterance!
More flexibility for your users! By buffering the incoming audio (from the microphone) on the local system, the virtual assistant has access to the entire utterance or command including the beginning spoken before the activation word.
In the example, “Give me the weather forecast” has been spoken before the activation word “Abbie,” and because of the local buffer (e.g., a ring buffer), the whole utterance can be streamed to the voice recognition system in the cloud for processing including the first part, “Give me the weather forecast,” the activation word, “Abbie,” and the second part, “for the weekend.” The beginning of the utterance or command can be detected by means of a speech pause or silence.
This gives your users more flexibility in articulating a statement but still preserves their privacy because the audio is only buffered locally.
