System And Method For Dynamically Generating A Recognition Grammar In An Integrated Voice Navigation Services Environment

View page
US Patent:
8326627, Dec 4, 2012
Filed:
Dec 30, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/341479
Inventors:
Michael R. Kennewick - Bellevue WA, US
Catherine Cheung - Sammamish WA, US
Larry Baldwin - Maple Valley WA, US
Ari Salomon - Mercer Island WA, US
Michael Tjalve - Bellevue WA, US
Sheetal Guttigoli - Kirkland WA, US
Lynn Armstrong - Woodinville WA, US
Philippe DiChristo - Bellevue WA, US
Bernie Zimmerman - Seattle WA, US
Sam Menaker - Bellevue WA, US
Assignee:
VoiceBox Technologies, Inc. - Bellevue WA
International Classification:
G10L 15/00
US Classification:
704257, 704 9, 704255
Abstract:
The system and method described herein may dynamically generate a recognition grammar associated with a conversational voice user interface in an integrated voice navigation services environment. In particular, in response to receiving a natural language utterance that relates to a navigation context at the voice user interface, a conversational language processor may generate a dynamic recognition grammar that organizes grammar information based on one or more topological domains. For example, the one or more topological domains may be determined based on a current location associated with a navigation device, whereby a speech recognition engine may use the grammar information organized in the dynamic recognition grammar according to the one or more topological domains to generate one or more interpretations associated with the natural language utterance.

System And Method For Providing A Natural Language Voice User Interface In An Integrated Voice Navigation Services Environment

US Patent:
8370147, Feb 5, 2013
Filed:
Dec 30, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/341621
Inventors:
Michael R. Kennewick - Bellevue WA, US
Catherine Cheung - Sammamish WA, US
Larry Baldwin - Maple Valley WA, US
Ari Salomon - Mercer Island WA, US
Michael Tjalve - Bellevue WA, US
Sheetal Guttigoli - Kirkland WA, US
Lynn Armstrong - Woodinville WA, US
Philippe DiChristo - Bellevue WA, US
Bernie Zimmerman - Seattle WA, US
Sam Menaker - Bellevue WA, US
Assignee:
VoiceBox Technologies, Inc. - Bellevue WA
International Classification:
G10L 15/00
US Classification:
704257, 704 9, 704270, 7042701
Abstract:
A conversational, natural language voice user interface may provide an integrated voice navigation services environment. The voice user interface may enable a user to make natural language requests relating to various navigation services, and further, may interact with the user in a cooperative, conversational dialogue to resolve the requests. Through dynamic awareness of context, available sources of information, domain knowledge, user behavior and preferences, and external systems and devices, among other things, the voice user interface may provide an integrated environment in which the user can speak conversationally, using natural language, to issue queries, commands, or other requests relating to the navigation services provided in the environment.

System And Method For Providing Advertisements In An Integrated Voice Navigation Services Environment

US Patent:
8452598, May 28, 2013
Filed:
Dec 30, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/341572
Inventors:
Michael R. Kennewick - Bellevue WA, US
Catherine Cheung - Sammamish WA, US
Larry Baldwin - Maple Valley WA, US
Ari Salomon - Mercer Island WA, US
Michael Tjalve - Bellevue WA, US
Sheetal Guttigoli - Kirkland WA, US
Lynn Armstrong - Woodinville WA, US
Philippe DiChristo - Bellevue WA, US
Bernie Zimmerman - Seattle WA, US
Sam Menaker - Bellevue WA, US
Assignee:
VoiceBox Technologies, Inc. - Bellevue WA
International Classification:
G10L 15/00
US Classification:
704257, 704 7, 704251, 704270
Abstract:
The system and method described herein may provide advertisements in an integrated voice navigation services environment. In particular, one or more advertisements may be identified based on affinities among a current location associated with a navigation device and shared knowledge and information used to interpret natural language utterances that relate to a navigation context, wherein the one or more advertisements may then be presented via a multi-modal output. As such, the shared knowledge and the information relating to the navigation context may provide the system and method with dynamic awareness relating to context, available information sources, domain knowledge, and user behavior and preferences, among other things, which may be used to deliver targeted and contextually relevant advertisements in the integrated navigation services environment.

Systems And Methods For Responding To Natural Language Speech Utterance

US Patent:
20040044516, Mar 4, 2004
Filed:
Jun 3, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/452147
Inventors:
Robert Kennewick - Seattle WA, US
David Locke - Redmond WA, US
Michael Kennewick - Bellevue WA, US
Richard Kennewick - Woodinville WA, US
Tom Freeman - Mercer Island WA, US
International Classification:
G06F017/28
US Classification:
704/005000
Abstract:
Systems and methods for receiving natural language queries and/or commands and execute the queries and/or commands. The systems and methods overcomes the deficiencies of prior art speech query and response systems through the application of a complete speech-based information query, retrieval, presentation and command environment. This environment makes significant use of context, prior information, domain knowledge, and user specific profile data to achieve a natural environment for one or more users making queries or commands in multiple domains. Through this integrated approach, a complete speech-based natural language query and response environment can be created. The systems and methods creates, stores and uses extensive personal profile information for each user, thereby improving the reliability of determining the context and presenting the expected results for a particular question or command.

US Patent:
20040193420, Sep 30, 2004
Filed:
Jul 15, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/618633
Inventors:
Robert Kennewick - Seattle WA, US
David Locke - Redmond WA, US
Michael Kennewick - Bellevue WA, US
Richard Kennewick - Woodinville WA, US
Tom Freeman - Mercer Island WA, US
Stephen Elston - Seattle WA, US
International Classification:
G10L011/00
US Classification:
704/257000, 704/270100
Abstract:
Mobile systems and methods that overcomes the deficiencies of prior art speech-based interfaces for telematics applications through the use of a complete speech-based information query, retrieval, presentation and local or remote command environment. This environment makes significant use of context, prior information, domain knowledge, and user specific profile data to achieve a natural environment for one or more users making queries or commands in multiple domains. Through this integrated approach, a complete speech-based natural language query and response environment can be created. The invention creates, stores and uses extensive personal profile information for each user, thereby improving the reliability of determining the context and presenting the expected results for a particular question or command. The invention may organize domain specific behavior and information into agents, that are distributable or updateable over a wide area network. The invention can be used in dynamic environments such as those of mobile vehicles to control and communicate with both vehicle systems and remote systems and devices.
