Claims
- 1. A method for presenting feedback on a display in a voice command recognition computer system executing a voice recognition application, comprising:recognizing a speech command; selecting one of a plurality of positions on said display as a function of said recognized speech command; displaying feedback at a confirmation area proximal to said one of said positions and corresponding to said command; extinguishing said feedback at a time after said displaying; automatically executing said command after said displaying; and wherein timing of said extinguishing is dynamically selected and wherein said feedback is selected from a group comprising a color change, animation, message, or reducing image on said display.
- 2. The method of claim 1 further includingdetermining a confidence factor corresponding to accuracy of said recognizing; and wherein said time of extinguishing corresponds to said confidence factor.
- 3. The method of claim 2 includingdepicting on said display information corresponding to said speech command at a location on said display; wherein said speech command corresponds to said information; and wherein said one of said positions corresponds to said location.
- 4. The method of claim 2 includinganalyzing said speech command; and wherein said one of said positions is a function of said analyzing.
- 5. The method of claim 2 wherein said computer system includesa graphical user interface on said display and a pointing device; and wherein said speech command corresponds to a command displayed on said graphical user interface actuatable by said pointing device.
- 6. The method of claim 2 wherein said confidence factor and said timing of extinguishing are inversely related.
- 7. The method of claim 1 further includingrecognizing a next speech command; selecting a next one of a plurality of positions on said display screen as a function of said recognized next speech command; and displaying next feedback at a next confirmation area proximal to said next one of said positions and corresponding to said next speech command.
- 8. An apparatus for presenting feedback on a display in a voice command recognition computer system executing a voice recognition application, comprising:means for recognizing a speech command; means for selecting one of a plurality of positions on said display as a function of said recognized speech command; means for displaying feedback at a confirmation area proximal to said one of said positions and corresponding to said command; means for extinguishing said feedback at a time after said displaying; means for automatically executing said command after said displaying; and wherein said timing of said extinguishing is dynamically selected and wherein said feedback is selected from a group comprising a color change, animation, message, or reducing image on said display.
- 9. The apparatus of claim 8 further includingmeans for determining a confidence factor corresponding to accuracy of said detecting; and wherein said time of extinguishing corresponds to said confidence factor.
- 10. The apparatus of claim 9 includingmeans for depicting on said display information corresponding to said speech command at a location on said display; wherein said speech command corresponds to said information; and wherein said one of said positions corresponds to said location.
- 11. The apparatus of claim 9 includingmeans for analyzing said speech command; and wherein said one of said positions is a function of said analyzing.
- 12. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein said computer system includesa graphical user interface on said display and a pointing device; and wherein said speech command corresponds to a command displayed on said graphical user interface actuatable by said pointing device.
- 13. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein said computer system includesa graphical user interface on said display and a pointing device; and wherein said speech command corresponds to a non-visible command interpreted by an application running on said graphical environment.
- 14. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein said confidence factor and said timing of extinguishing are inversely related; and wherein said computer system further includesa graphical user interface on said display and a pointing device; and wherein said speech command corresponds to a non-visible command interpreted by an application executing in said graphical user interface.
- 15. The apparatus of claim 8 further includingmeans for recognizing a next speech command; means for selecting a next one of a plurality of positions on said display screen as a function of said recognized next speech command; and means for displaying next feedback at a next confirmation area proximal to said next one of said positions and corresponding to said next speech command.
- 16. A program product for presenting feedback on a display in a voice command recognition computer system executing a voice recognition application, comprising:program code means for recognizing a speech command; program code means for selecting one of a plurality of positions on said display as a function of said recognized speech command; and program code means for displaying feedback at a confirmation area proximal to said one of said positions and corresponding to said command; program code means for extinguishing said feedback at a time after said displaying; program code means for automatically executing said command after said displaying; and wherein said timing of said extinguishing is dynamically selected and wherein said feedback is selected from a group comprising a color change, animation, message, or reducing image on said display.
- 17. The program product of claim 16 further includingprogram code means for determining a confidence factor corresponding to accuracy of said recognizing a speech command; and wherein said timing of extinguishing corresponds to said confidence factor.
- 18. The program product of claim 17 includingprogram code means for depicting on said display information corresponding to said speech command at a location on said display; wherein said speech command corresponds to said information; and wherein said one of said positions corresponds to said location.
- 19. The program product of claim 17 includingprogram code means for analyzing said speech command; and wherein said one of said positions is a function of said analyzing.
- 20. The program product of claim 17 wherein said computer system includesa graphical user interface on said display and a pointing device; and wherein said speech command corresponds to a command displayed on said graphical user interface actuatable by said pointing device.
- 21. The program product of claim 17 wherein said computer system includesa graphical user interface on said display and a pointing device; and wherein said speech command corresponds to a non-visible command interpreted by an application running on said graphical environment.
- 22. The program product of claim 17 wherein said confidence factor and said timing of extinguishing are inversely related.
- 23. The program product of claim 16 further includingprogram code means for recognizing a next speech command; program code means for selecting a next one of a plurality of positions on said display screen as a function of said recognized next speech command; and program code means for displaying next feedback at a next confirmation area proximal to said next one of said positions and corresponding to said next speech command.
