Abstract:
The invention provides a system for speech keyword detection and associated method. The system includes a speech keyword detector, an activity predictor and a decision maker. The activity predictor obtains sensor data provided by a plurality of sensors, and processes the sensor data to provide an activity prediction result indicating a probability for whether a user is about to give voice keyword. The decision maker processes the activity prediction result and a preliminary keyword detection result of the speech keyword detection to provide a keyword detection result.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses pertaining to enhanced audio effect realization for virtual reality may involve receiving data in a virtual reality setting. The data may be related to audio samples from one or more sound sources, motions of the one or more sound sources, and motions of a user. Physics simulation may be performed for realization of one or more audio effects based on the received data. Signal processing may be performed using a result of the physics simulation. Audio outputs may be provided using a result of the signal processing.
Abstract:
A voice control device has a speech command recognizer, a sensor data processor and a decision making circuit. The speech command recognizer is arranged for performing speech command recognition to output a recognized speech command. The sensor data processor is arranged for processing sensor data generated from at least one auxiliary sensor to generate a detection output. The decision making circuit is arranged for deciding a response of the voice control device according to the recognized speech command and the detection output. The same speech command is able to trigger difference responses according to the detection output (e.g., detected motion). Besides, an adaptive training process may be employed to improve the accuracy of the sensor data processor. Hence, the voice control device may have improved performance of the voice control feature due to a reduce occurrence probability of miss errors and false alarm errors.
Abstract:
A mobile device includes a motion detector, a processing unit, and a wireless positioning module. The motion detector is configured to detect a motion of the mobile device to obtain a motion signal. The processing unit is configured to do the followings: process the motion signal to obtain a vibration frequency and a vibration regularity of the mobile device; determine a device activity status of the mobile device according to the vibration frequency and the vibration regularity; and generate a control signal when finding that the device activity status switches from a first activity status to a second activity status. The wireless positioning module is configured to identify a first location of the mobile device in response to the control signal.
