摘要： Systems and methods are described for adding entries to a custom lexicon used by a speech recognition engine of a speech interface in response to user interaction with the speech interface. In one embodiment, a speech signal is obtained when the user speaks a name of a particular item to be selected from among a finite set of items. If a phonetic description of the speech signal is not recognized by the speech recognition engine, then the user is presented with a means for selecting the particular item from among the finite set of items by providing input in a manner that does not include speaking the name of the item. After the user has selected the particular item via the means for selecting, the phonetic description of the speech signal is stored in association with a text description of the particular item in the custom lexicon.

摘要： Specialized recognition engines are configured to recognize acoustic objects. A policy engine can consume a recognition policy that defines the conditions under which specialized recognition engines are to be activated or deactivated. An arbitrator receives events fired by the specialized recognition engines and provides the events to listeners that have registered to receive notification of the occurrence of the events. If a specialized recognition engine recognizes an acoustic object, the policy engine can utilize the recognition policy to identify the specialized recognition engines that are to be activated or deactivated. The identified specialized recognition engines can then be activated or deactivated in order to implement a particular recognition scenario and to meet a particular power consumption requirement.

摘要： Systems, computer program products and computer program products for facilitating the dynamic addition and removal of operating system components on computing devices based on application or user interaction over time are disclosed. Such systems, computer program products and computer program products provide one or more API intercept layers, a rules engine and a hydrate engine that facilitates the ability to dynamically rehydrate or hydrate operating system components. In an embodiment, a minimal (or core) operating system image on a computing device is deployed. Then, required components may be dynamically added (i.e., “streamed” or “rehydrated”) from storage, a server or cloud service as required by an executing application program on the computing device. In another embodiment, a totally complete operating system image is deployed on a computing device. Then, unused components may be dynamically removed (i.e., “dehydrated”) from the computing device over time based on application or user interaction.

摘要： A resolution-enhancing analog-to-digital signal conversion circuit is provided. The circuit includes a plurality of analog-to-digital converters arranged in parallel. Each analog-to-digital converter of the plurality of analog-to-digital converters is configured to output a digital signal that identifies an analog signal input to that analog-to-digital converter. The circuit further includes an input regulation module configured to clip the analog signal input to any of the plurality of analog-to-digital converters to within the voltage range corresponding to that analog-to-digital converter if such an analog signal otherwise is outside of the voltage range. The circuit further includes a controller configured to receive the digital signal output from each analog-to-digital converter and output an encoded signal based on one or more such digital signal that is received from an unclipped analog-to-digital converter having a highest analog-to-digital conversion resolution.

摘要： Systems, methods, and computer program products for facilitating web-based interaction with a local system are disclosed. Such systems, methods, and computer program products provide an approach that allows a web client within in a web browser environment to access local hardware and local software—via a web server contained in the local system—in a local computer system. In response to a user input, the web client directs local hardware and local software to perform actions (e.g., writing files and taking pictures). Information related to such actions is returned to the web client via the local web server. The local computer system may be remotely located from the web client and such returned information may be stored and/or executed at a remote site (e.g., cloud database). Security layers may be provided to authenticate the user as well as user permissions for accessing the local computer system.

摘要： Multiple devices having different architecture or platforms may be supported by the same application store. The related devices are used to synchronize the state of each device in a group, such as all the devices owned or used by a particular user. The devices themselves are used as separate payload delivery systems that are capable of sharing software, such as new or updated applications and operating systems, among the different types of devices in the group. A software payload may be created by a server that contains software for more than one device's architecture. They payload may include segments targeted for different platforms or architectures. Once the payload is loaded on one device, that device can then send the payload to the other devices within the group. Each device that receives the payload uses the appropriate software segment for its particular architecture or platform.
