Method Of And System For Providing Adaptive Respondent Training In A Speech Recognition Application Based Upon The Inherent Response Of The Respondent

View page
US Patent:
7933775, Apr 26, 2011
Filed:
Nov 14, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/273528
Inventors:
Nasreen Quibria - Newton MA, US
Lucas Merrow - North Andover MA, US
Oleg Boulanov - Beverly MA, US
John P. Kroeker - Hamilton MA, US
Alexandra Drane - Winchester MA, US
Assignee:
Eliza Corporation - Beverly MA
International Classification:
G10L 21/00
G10L 15/00
US Classification:
704270, 704231, 7042701
Abstract:
A system for conducting a telephonic speech recognition application includes an automated telephone device for making telephonic contact with a respondent and a speech recognition device which, upon the telephonic contact being made, presents the respondent with at least one introductory prompt for the respondent to reply to; receives a spoken response from the respondent; and performs a speech recognition analysis on the spoken response to determine a capability of the respondent to complete the application. If the speech recognition device, based on the spoken response to the introductory prompt, determines that the respondent is capable of competing the application, the speech recognition device presents at least one application prompt to the respondent. If the speech recognition device, based on the spoken response to the introductory prompt, determines that the respondent is not capable of completing the application, the speech recognition system presents instructions on completing the application to the respondent.

US Patent:
8363792, Jan 29, 2013
Filed:
Sep 2, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/219593
Inventors:
Lucas Merrow - North Andover MA, US
Alexandra Drane - San Francisco CA, US
John Kroeker - Hamilton MA, US
Oleg Boulanov - Beverly MA, US
Nasreen Quibria - Boston MA, US
Michael R. Robinson - Salem MA, US
Assignee:
Eliza Corporation - Beverly MA
International Classification:
H04M 1/64
US Classification:
379 69, 379 8802, 379 8818, 37926607, 704270
Abstract:
A system for determining the status of an answered telephone during the course of an outbound telephone call includes an automated telephone calling device for placing a telephone call to a location having a telephone number at which a target person is listed, upon the telephone call being answered, initiating a prerecorded greeting which asks for the target person and receiving a spoken response from an answering person and a speech recognition device for performing a speech recognition analysis on the spoken response to determine a status of the spoken response. If the speech recognition device determines that the answering person is the target person, the speech recognition device initiates a speech recognition application with the target person.

Systems And Techniques For Producing Spoken Voice Prompts With Dialog-Context-Optimized Speech Parameters

View page
US Patent:
8380519, Feb 19, 2013
Filed:
Jan 25, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/020217
Inventors:
Lisa Lavoie - Cambridge MA, US
Lucas Merrow - York ME, US
Alexandra Drane - Winchester MA, US
Frank Rizzo - Bedford NH, US
Ivy Krull - Andover MA, US
Assignee:
Eliza Corporation - Beverly MA
International Classification:
G10L 15/22
US Classification:
704275
Abstract:
Methods and systems are described in which spoken voice prompts can be produced in a manner such that they will most likely have the desired effect, for example to indicate empathy, or produce a desired follow-up action from a call recipient. The prompts can be produced with specific optimized speech parameters, including duration, gender of speaker, and pitch, so as to encourage participation and promote comprehension among a wide range of patients or listeners. Upon hearing such voice prompts, patients/listeners can know immediately when they are being asked questions that they are expected to answer, and when they are being given information, as well as the information that considered sensitive.

US Patent:
20080181371, Jul 31, 2008
Filed:
Jan 30, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/022723
Inventors:
Lucas Merrow - York ME, US
Alexandra Drane - Winchester MA, US
Ivy Krull - Andover MA, US
Assignee:
Eliza Corporation - Beverly MA
International Classification:
H04M 1/64
H04M 11/00
US Classification:
379 8801, 379 8818
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for making an automated telephone call more interactive and intelligent by saving responses gathered from a previous call and using that information to build more personal and engaging subsequent interactions. An initial telephone call can be designed with data needs in mind. Relevant responses from the initial calls can be captured and stored and a follow-up call can be created that includes dialogs that reference specific information from the previous interactions with the system. Such build call techniques can be utilized on outbound, as well as inbound calls, and can simulate a human being's ability to listen, remember and refer to past conversations, making the automated telephone calls more interactive and effective.
