    Abstract: Speech recognition systems and/or techniques are provided in which grammar elements and/or speech inputs are targeted to selected functions. One or more input capture devices facilitate the collection of user input associated with a vehicle, and a vehicle function may be selected based upon received user input. A subset of available grammar elements that are associated with audible commands for the selected function may then be identified and utilized to evaluate received audio input. In this regard, speech recognition may be targeted to the selected function.

    Abstract: An indoor location awareness method for locating a device using device-observable signals of known proximity sensors and device-unobservable signals of known proximity sensors. The exclusion of the possibility that the device is within an unobservable proximity sensor's range increases the knowledge of the device's true location. In addition to defining the location of the device, the device can predict the arrival and departure of unobservable proximity sensors as it moves throughout the environment.

    Abstract: A method of automatically calibrating a microphone having a microphone input gain comprises the steps of receiving an input signal generated by the microphone in response to an audio input, sampling the input signal to produce a plurality of samples, detecting a plurality of instances of voice energy in the samples, creating a power density function (PDF) from the detected instances of voice energy, wherein the acquired signal level differs from a predefined voice reference level by an offset amount, and adjusting the value of the input gain so that the acquired signal level equals the predefined voice reference level. The step of detecting a plurality of instances of voice energy comprises the step of generating a noise floor by creating a noise power density function (NPDF) from the samples. The NPDF is based on a relationship between an approximate peak power level of the signal and a current power level of the signal and based on a plurality of standard deviation values of the signal, each of the standard deviation values corresponding to one of a plurality of time intervals. The NPDF is repeatedly updated to produce a current state of the NPDF to update the noise floor. If a predetermined relationship exists between the current power level of the audio signal and the updated noise floor, an instance of voice energy is detected.
