The disclosed implementations relate generally to digital assistants. More specifically, to a method and system for obtaining training data to update an adaptive speech recognition model for use when interacting with a digital assistant.
Recently, voice-based digital assistants, such as Apple's SIRI, have been introduced into the marketplace to handle various tasks such as web searching and navigation. Currently, voice-based digital assistant systems utilize either speaker-independent models or speaker-dependent models in order to generate speech-to-text (STT) input to the digital assistant. The speaker-dependent model increases accuracy in generating the STT input, and therefore, enables the digital assistant to provide better results to the user. However, speaker-dependent models require significant training data in order to function with increased accuracy. Reciting many lines of predefined text in order to train a speaker-dependent model has several drawbacks. Many users would prefer not to expend the time and effort in providing training data for a model. In addition, a user's speech is markedly different when reading as opposed to ordinary conversation, therefore the accuracy of a speech model trained with data obtained from a user reading is worse than one trained with data obtained from a user's ordinary conversation. Finally, a user's speech changes with time and environment.
The implementations described below provide systems and methods for obtaining training data to update an adaptive speech recognition model for use when interacting with a digital assistant. The systems and methods obtain training data to update a speaker-dependent speech recognition model using a user's ordinary conversations.
Interactions with a voice-based digital assistant (or other speech-based services, such as a speech-to-text transcription service) often utilize a speaker-dependent speech recognition model (e.g., an adaptive speech recognition model). However, the accuracy of speaker-dependent speech recognition models depends on the volume and quality of training data. As described herein, an adaptive speech recognition model is updated by deriving training data from analyzing an outbound audio channel of a mobile communication device to obtain a call audio signal.
Some implementations provide a method for obtaining training data to update an adaptive speech recognition model. The method is performed at a first mobile communication device including one or more processors and memory storing instructions for execution by the one or more processors. The method includes determining that a first user of a first mobile communication device is engaged in a call over a communications network and providing an adaptive speech recognition model. The method further includes analyzing an outbound audio channel of the first mobile communication device to obtain a call audio signal corresponding to audio input from one or more microphones of the first mobile communication device, and updating the adaptive speech recognition model with training data derived from the call audio signal.
Some implementations provide a method for obtaining training data to update an adaptive speech recognition model. In these implementations, the method is performed at a server system distinct from a first mobile communication device. The method includes determining that a first user of the first mobile communication device is engaged in a call over a communications network and providing an adaptive speech recognition model. The method further includes analyzing an outbound audio channel of the first mobile communication device to obtain a call audio signal corresponding to audio input from one or more microphones of the first mobile communication device, and updating the adaptive speech recognition model with training data derived from the call audio signal (e.g., sending parameters derived from the call audio signal at the device to a server to update the adaptive speech recognition model).
In some implementations, the first mobile communication device is a mobile telephone. In some implementations, the first mobile communication device is a laptop computer. In some implementations, the first mobile communication device is a tablet computer.
In some implementations, the call is a mobile telephone call. In some implementations, the call is a multimedia communication. In some implementations, the call is a VoIP communication. In some implementations, the call comprises an interaction between the first user of the first mobile communication device and a second mobile device. In some implementations, the call comprises a conversation between the first user of the first mobile communication device and a user of a second device.
In some implementations, providing an adaptive speech recognition model comprises providing a speaker-independent model. In some implementations, providing an adaptive speech recognition model comprises providing a speaker-dependent model associated with a user of the first mobile communication device.
In some implementations, the method further includes, prior to analyzing the outbound audio channel, converting the call audio signal from an analog audio signal to a digital audio signal.

In some implementations, analyzing the outbound audio channel comprises analyzing the baseband unit. In some implementations, analyzing includes analyzing the digital signal processor (DSP). In some implementations, analyzing includes analyzing the application processor.
In some implementations, the method further includes, prior to updating the adaptive speech recognition model, determining that the call has ended.
In some implementations, training data comprises one or more speaker-dependent sound units. In some implementations, updating the adaptive speech recognition model comprises replacing the adaptive speech recognition model with a new adaptive speech recognition model generated from the training data. In some implementations, updating the adaptive speech recognition model comprises generating a speaker-dependent model from the data, comparing the speaker-dependent model to the adaptive speech recognition model, and updating the adaptive speech recognition model based on the comparison.
In some implementations, the method further includes modifying the adaptive speech recognition model with training data derived from audio user interaction with a digital assistant. In some implementations, the method further comprises, after said updating, receiving invocation of the digital assistant, receiving speech input from a second user, generating speech-to-text output corresponding to the speech input, and providing the speech-to-text output to the digital assistant. In some implementations, generating speech-to-text output corresponding to the speech input comprises comparing the speech input with the adaptive speech recognition model; in accordance with a determination that the second user is the same as the first user, performing automatic speech recognition using the adaptive speech recognition model to generate speech-to-text output; and in accordance with a determination that the second user is distinct from the first user, performing automatic speech recognition using a speaker-independent model to generate speech-to-text output.
In some implementations, the method further includes storing the adaptive speech recognition model in memory. In some implementations, the memory is a component of the first mobile communication device. In some implementations, the memory is a component of a server distinct from the first mobile communication device.

Specifically, once initiated, a digital assistant system is capable of accepting a user request at least partially in the form of a natural language command, request, statement, narrative, and/or inquiry. Typically, the user request seeks either an informational answer or performance of a task by the digital assistant system. A satisfactory response to the user request is generally either provision of the requested informational answer, performance of the requested task, or a combination of the two. For example, a user may ask the digital assistant system a question, such as “Where am I right now?” Based on the user's current location, the digital assistant may answer, “you are in Central Park near the west gate.” The user may also request the performance of a task, for example, by stating “Please invite my friends to my girlfriend's birthday party next week.” In response, the digital assistant may acknowledge the request by generating a voice output, “Yes, right away,” and then send a suitable calendar invite from the user's email address to each of the user's friends listed in the user's electronic address book or contact list. There are numerous other ways of interacting with a digital assistant to request information or performance of various tasks. In addition to providing verbal responses and taking programmed actions, the digital assistant can also provide responses in other visual or audio forms (e.g., as text, alerts, music, videos, animations, etc.).

The memory interface 202 is coupled to memory 250. In some implementations, memory 250 includes a non-transitory computer readable medium, such as high-speed random access memory and/or non-volatile memory (e.g., one or more magnetic disk storage devices, one or more flash memory devices, one or more optical storage devices, and/or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices).

As described above, in some implementations, memory 250 also stores client-side digital assistant instructions (e.g., in a digital assistant client module 264) and various user data 266 (e.g., user-specific vocabulary data, preference data, and/or other data such as the user's electronic address book or contact list, to-do lists, shopping lists, etc.) to provide the client-side functionalities of the digital assistant.
In various implementations, the digital assistant client module 264 is capable of accepting voice input, text input, touch input, and/or gestural input through various user interfaces (e.g., the I/O subsystem 244) of the user device 104.

Furthermore, various functions of the user device 104 may be implemented in hardware and/or in firmware, including in one or more signal processing and/or application specific integrated circuits, and the user device 104, thus, need not include all modules and applications illustrated in
The digital assistant system 300 includes memory 302, one or more processors 304, an input/output (I/O) interface 306, and a network communications interface 308. These components communicate with one another over one or more communication buses or signal lines 310.
In some implementations, memory 302 includes a non-transitory computer readable medium, such as high-speed random access memory and/or a non-volatile computer readable storage medium (e.g., one or more magnetic disk storage devices, one or more flash memory devices, one or more optical storage devices, and/or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices).
The I/O interface 306 couples input/output devices 316 of the digital assistant system 300, such as displays, keyboards, touch screens, and microphones, to the user interface module 322. The I/O interface 306, in conjunction with the user interface module 322, receives user inputs (e.g., voice input, keyboard inputs, touch inputs, etc.) and process them accordingly. In some implementations, when the digital assistant is implemented on a standalone user device, the digital assistant system 300 includes any of the components and I/O and communication interfaces described with respect to the user device 104 in
In some implementations, the network communications interface 308 includes wired communication port(s) 312 and/or wireless transmission and reception circuitry 314. The wired communication port(s) receive and send communication signals via one or more wired interfaces, e.g., Ethernet, Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc. The wireless circuitry 314 typically receives and sends RF signals and/or optical signals from/to communications networks and other communications devices. The wireless communications may use any of a plurality of communications standards, protocols and technologies, such as GSM, EDGE, CDMA, TDMA, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, VoIP, Wi-MAX, or any other suitable communication protocol. The network communications interface 308 enables communication between the digital assistant system 300 with networks, such as the Internet, an intranet and/or a wireless network, such as a cellular telephone network, a wireless local area network (LAN) and/or a metropolitan area network (MAN), and other devices.
In some implementations, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium of memory 302 stores programs, modules, instructions, and data structures including all or a subset of: an operating system 318, a communications module 320, a user interface module 322, one or more applications 324, and a digital assistant module 326. The one or more processors 304 execute these programs, modules, and instructions, and reads/writes from/to the data structures.

The communications module 320 facilitates communications between the digital assistant system 300 with other devices over the network communications interface 308. For example, the communication module 320 may communicate with the communications module 254 of the device 104 shown in
In some implementations, the user interface module 322 receives commands and/or inputs from a user via the I/O interface 306 (e.g., from a keyboard, touch screen, and/or microphone), and provides user interface objects on a display.
The applications 324 include programs and/or modules that are configured to be executed by the one or more processors 304. For example, if the digital assistant system is implemented on a standalone user device, the applications 324 may include user applications, such as games, a calendar application, a navigation application, or an email application. If the digital assistant system 300 is implemented on a server farm, the applications 324 may include resource management applications, diagnostic applications, or scheduling applications, for example.
Memory 302 also stores the digital assistant module (or the server portion of a digital assistant) 326. In some implementations, the digital assistant module 326 includes the following sub-modules, or a subset or superset thereof: an input/output processing module 328, a speech-to-text (STT) processing module 330, a natural language processing module 332, a dialogue flow processing module 334, a task flow processing module 336, a service processing module 338, and a photo module 132. Each of these processing modules has access to one or more of the following data and models of the digital assistant 326, or a subset or superset thereof: ontology 360, vocabulary index 344, user data 348, categorization module 349, disambiguation module 350, task flow models 354, service models 356, photo tagging module 358, search module 360, and local tag/photo storage 362.
In some implementations, using the processing modules (e.g., the input/output processing module 328, the STT processing module 330, the natural language processing module 332, the dialogue flow processing module 334, the task flow processing module 336, and/or the service processing module 338), data, and models implemented in the digital assistant module 326, the digital assistant system 300 performs at least some of the following: identifying a user's intent expressed in a natural language input received from the user; actively eliciting and obtaining information needed to fully deduce the user's intent (e.g., by disambiguating words, names, intentions, etc.); determining the task flow for fulfilling the deduced intent; and executing the task flow to fulfill the deduced intent. In some implementations, the digital assistant also takes appropriate actions when a satisfactory response was not or could not be provided to the user for various reasons.
In some implementations, as discussed below, the digital assistant system 300 identifies, from a natural language input, a user's intent to tag a digital photograph, and processes the natural language input so as to tag the digital photograph with appropriate information. In some implementations, the digital assistant system 300 performs other tasks related to photographs as well, such as searching for digital photographs using natural language input, auto-tagging photographs, and the like.
As shown in
In some implementations, the speech-to-text processing module 330 receives speech input (e.g., a user utterance captured in a voice recording) through the I/O processing module 328. In some implementations, the speech-to-text processing module 330 uses various acoustic and language models to recognize the speech input as a sequence of sound units (e.g., phonemes), and ultimately, a sequence of words or tokens written in one or more languages. The speech-to-text processing module 330 is implemented using any suitable speech recognition techniques (e.g., an adaptive speech recognition model), acoustic models, and language models, such as Hidden Markov Models, Dynamic Time Warping (DTW)-based speech recognition, maximum a posteriori (MAP) model adaptation (e.g., structural MAP approach), maximum likelihood linear regression (MLLR) model adaptation (e.g., constrained MLLR, mean-only MLLR), and other statistical and/or analytical techniques. In some implementations, the speech-to-text processing can be performed at least partially by a third party service or on the user's device. Once the speech-to-text processing module 330 obtains the result of the speech-to-text processing (e.g., a sequence of words or tokens), it passes the result to the natural language processing module 332 for intent deduction.
The natural language processing module 332 (“natural language processor”) of the digital assistant 326 takes the sequence of words or tokens (“token sequence”) generated by the speech-to-text processing module 330, and attempts to associate the token sequence with one or more “actionable intents” recognized by the digital assistant. As used herein, an “actionable intent” represents a task that can be performed by the digital assistant 326 and/or the digital assistant system 300 (
In some implementations, in addition to the sequence of words or tokens obtained from the speech-to-text processing module 330, the natural language processor 332 also receives context information associated with the user request (e.g., from the I/O processing module 328). The natural language processor 332 optionally uses the context information to clarify, supplement, and/or further define the information contained in the token sequence received from the speech-to-text processing module 330. The context information includes, for example, user preferences, hardware and/or software states of the user device, sensor information collected before, during, or shortly after the user request, prior interactions (e.g., dialogue) between the digital assistant and the user, and the like.
In some implementations, the natural language processing is based on an ontology 360. The ontology 360 is a hierarchical structure containing a plurality of nodes, each node representing either an “actionable intent” or a “property” relevant to one or more of the “actionable intents” or other “properties.” As noted above, an “actionable intent” represents a task that the digital assistant system 300 is capable of performing (e.g., a task that is “actionable” or can be acted on). A “property” represents a parameter associated with an actionable intent or a sub-aspect of another property. A linkage between an actionable intent node and a property node in the ontology 360 defines how a parameter represented by the property node pertains to the task represented by the actionable intent node.
In some implementations, the ontology 360 is made up of actionable intent nodes and property nodes. Within the ontology 360, each actionable intent node is linked to one or more property nodes either directly or through one or more intermediate property nodes. Similarly, each property node is linked to one or more actionable intent nodes either directly or through one or more intermediate property nodes. For example, the ontology 360 shown in
An actionable intent node, along with its linked concept nodes, may be described as a “domain.” In the present discussion, each domain is associated with a respective actionable intent, and refers to the group of nodes (and the relationships therebetween) associated with the particular actionable intent. For example, the ontology 360 shown in
While
In some implementations, the ontology 360 includes all the domains (and hence actionable intents) that the digital assistant is capable of understanding and acting upon. In some implementations, the ontology 360 may be modified, such as by adding or removing domains or nodes, or by modifying relationship between the nodes within the ontology 360.
In some implementations, nodes associated with multiple related actionable intents may be clustered under a “super domain” in the ontology 360. For example, a “travel” super-domain may include a cluster of property nodes and actionable intent nodes related to travels. The actionable intent nodes related to travels may include “airline reservation,” “hotel reservation,” “car rental,” “get directions,” “find points of interest,” and so on. The actionable intent nodes under the same super domain (e.g., the “travels” super domain) may have many property nodes in common. For example, the actionable intent nodes for “airline reservation,” “hotel reservation,” “car rental,” “get directions,” and “find points of interest” may share one or more of the property nodes “start location,” “destination,” “departure date/time,” “arrival date/time,” and “party size.”
In some implementations, each node in the ontology 360 is associated with a set of words and/or phrases that are relevant to the property or actionable intent represented by the node. The respective set of words and/or phrases associated with each node is the so-called “vocabulary” associated with the node. The respective set of words and/or phrases associated with each node can be stored in the vocabulary index 344 (
In some implementations, the natural language processor 332 shown in
In some implementations, the digital assistant system 300 also stores names of specific entities in the vocabulary index 344, so that when one of these names is detected in the user request, the natural language processor 332 will be able to recognize that the name refers to a specific instance of a property or sub-property in the ontology. In some implementations, the names of specific entities are names of businesses, restaurants, people, movies, and the like. In some implementations, the digital assistant system 300 can search and identify specific entity names from other data sources, such as the user's address book or contact list, a movies database, a musicians database, and/or a restaurant database. In some implementations, when the natural language processor 332 identifies that a word in the token sequence is a name of a specific entity (such as a name in the user's address book or contact list), that word is given additional significance in selecting the actionable intent within the ontology for the user request.
For example, when the words “Mr. Santo” are recognized from the user request, and the last name “Santo” is found in the vocabulary index 344 as one of the contacts in the user's contact list, then it is likely that the user request corresponds to a “send a message” or “initiate a phone call” domain. For another example, when the words “ABC Café” are found in the user request, and the term “ABC Café” is found in the vocabulary index 344 as the name of a particular restaurant in the user's city, then it is likely that the user request corresponds to a “restaurant reservation” domain.
User data 348 includes user-specific information, such as user-specific vocabulary, user preferences, user address, user's default and secondary languages, user's contact list, and other short-term or long-term information for each user. The natural language processor 332 can use the user-specific information to supplement the information contained in the user input to further define the user intent. For example, for a user request “invite my friends to my birthday party,” the natural language processor 332 is able to access user data 348 to determine who the “friends” are and when and where the “birthday party” would be held, rather than requiring the user to provide such information explicitly in his/her request.
In some implementations, natural language processor 332 includes categorization module 349. In some implementations, the categorization module 349 determines whether each of the one or more terms in a text string (e.g., corresponding to a speech input associated with a digital photograph) is one of an entity, an activity, or a location, as discussed in greater detail below. In some implementations, the categorization module 349 classifies each term of the one or more terms as one of an entity, an activity, or a location.
Once the natural language processor 332 identifies an actionable intent (or domain) based on the user request, the natural language processor 332 generates a structured query to represent the identified actionable intent. In some implementations, the structured query includes parameters for one or more nodes within the domain for the actionable intent, and at least some of the parameters are populated with the specific information and requirements specified in the user request. For example, the user may say “Make me a dinner reservation at a sushi place at 7.” In this case, the natural language processor 332 may be able to correctly identify the actionable intent to be “restaurant reservation” based on the user input. According to the ontology, a structured query for a “restaurant reservation” domain may include parameters such as {Cuisine}, {Time}, {Date}, {Party Size}, and the like. Based on the information contained in the user's utterance, the natural language processor 332 may generate a partial structured query for the restaurant reservation domain, where the partial structured query includes the parameters {Cuisine=“Sushi”} and {Time=“7 pm”}. However, in this example, the user's utterance contains insufficient information to complete the structured query associated with the domain. Therefore, other necessary parameters such as {Party Size} and {Date} are not specified in the structured query based on the information currently available. In some implementations, the natural language processor 332 populates some parameters of the structured query with received context information. For example, if the user requested a sushi restaurant “near me,” the natural language processor 332 may populate a {location} parameter in the structured query with GPS coordinates from the user device 104.
In some implementations, the natural language processor 332 passes the structured query (including any completed parameters) to the task flow processing module 336 (“task flow processor”). The task flow processor 336 is configured to perform one or more of: receiving the structured query from the natural language processor 332, completing the structured query, and performing the actions required to “complete” the user's ultimate request. In some implementations, the various procedures necessary to complete these tasks are provided in task flow models 354. In some implementations, the task flow models 354 include procedures for obtaining additional information from the user, and task flows for performing actions associated with the actionable intent.
As described above, in order to complete a structured query, the task flow processor 336 may need to initiate additional dialogue with the user in order to obtain additional information, and/or disambiguate potentially ambiguous utterances. When such interactions are necessary, the task flow processor 336 invokes the dialogue processing module 334 (“dialogue processor”) to engage in a dialogue with the user. In some implementations, the dialogue processing module 334 determines how (and/or when) to ask the user for the additional information, and receives and processes the user responses. In some implementations, the questions are provided to and answers are received from the users through the I/O processing module 328. For example, the dialogue processing module 334 presents dialogue output to the user via audio and/or visual output, and receives input from the user via spoken or physical (e.g., touch gesture) responses. Continuing with the example above, when the task flow processor 336 invokes the dialogue processor 334 to determine the “party size” and “date” information for the structured query associated with the domain “restaurant reservation,” the dialogue processor 334 generates questions such as “For how many people?” and “On which day?” to pass to the user. Once answers are received from the user, the dialogue processing module 334 populates the structured query with the missing information, or passes the information to the task flow processor 336 to complete the missing information from the structured query.
In some cases, the task flow processor 336 may receive a structured query that has one or more ambiguous properties. For example, a structured query for the “send a message” domain may indicate that the intended recipient is “Bob,” and the user may have multiple contacts named “Bob.” The task flow processor 336 will request that the dialogue processor 334 disambiguate this property of the structured query. In turn, the dialogue processor 334 may ask the user “Which Bob?”, and display (or read) a list of contacts named “Bob” from which the user may choose.
In some implementations, dialogue processor 334 includes disambiguation module 350. In some implementations, disambiguation module 350 disambiguates one or more ambiguous terms (e.g., one or more ambiguous terms in a text string corresponding to a speech input associated with a digital photograph). In some implementations, disambiguation module 350 identifies that a first term of the one or more terms has multiple candidate meanings, prompts a user for additional information about the first term, receives the additional information from the user in response to the prompt and identifies the entity, activity, or location associated with the first term in accordance with the additional information.
In some implementations, disambiguation module 350 disambiguates pronouns. In such implementations, disambiguation module 350 identifies one of the one or more terms as a pronoun and determines a noun to which the pronoun refers. In some implementations, disambiguation module 350 determines a noun to which the pronoun refers by using a contact list associated with a user of the electronic device. Alternatively, or in addition, disambiguation module 350 determines a noun to which the pronoun refers as a name of an entity, an activity, or a location identified in a previous speech input associated with a previously tagged digital photograph. Alternatively, or in addition, disambiguation module 350 determines a noun to which the pronoun refers as a name of a person identified based on a previous speech input associated with a previously tagged digital photograph.
In some implementations, disambiguation module 350 accesses information obtained from one or more sensors (e.g., proximity sensor 214, light sensor 212, GPS receiver 213, temperature sensor 215, and motion sensor 210) of a handheld electronic device (e.g., user device 104) for determining a meaning of one or more of the terms. In some implementations, disambiguation module 350 identifies two terms each associated with one of an entity, an activity, or a location. For example, a first of the two terms refers to a person, and a second of the two terms refers to a location. In some implementations, disambiguation module 350 identifies three terms each associated with one of an entity, an activity, or a location.
Once the task flow processor 336 has completed the structured query for an actionable intent, the task flow processor 336 proceeds to perform the ultimate task associated with the actionable intent. Accordingly, the task flow processor 336 executes the steps and instructions in the task flow model according to the specific parameters contained in the structured query. For example, the task flow model for the actionable intent of “restaurant reservation” may include steps and instructions for contacting a restaurant and actually requesting a reservation for a particular party size at a particular time. For example, using a structured query such as: {restaurant reservation, restaurant=ABC Café, date=3/12/2012, time=7 pm, party size=5}, the task flow processor 336 may perform the steps of: (I) logging onto a server of the ABC Café or a restaurant reservation system that is configured to accept reservations for multiple restaurants, such as the ABC Café, (2) entering the date, time, and party size information in a form on the website, (3) submitting the form, and (4) making a calendar entry for the reservation in the user's calendar. In another example, described in greater detail below, the task flow processor 336 executes steps and instructions associated with tagging or searching for digital photographs in response to a voice input, e.g., in conjunction with photo module 132.
In some implementations, the task flow processor 336 employs the assistance of a service processing module 338 (“service processor”) to complete a task requested in the user input or to provide an informational answer requested in the user input. For example, the service processor 338 can act on behalf of the task flow processor 336 to make a phone call, set a calendar entry, invoke a map search, invoke or interact with other user applications installed on the user device, and invoke or interact with third party services (e.g. a restaurant reservation portal, a social networking website or service, a banking portal, etc.). In some implementations, the protocols and application programming interfaces (API) required by each service can be specified by a respective service model among the service models 356. The service processor 338 accesses the appropriate service model for a service and generates requests for the service in accordance with the protocols and APIs required by the service according to the service model.
For example, if a restaurant has enabled an online reservation service, the restaurant can submit a service model specifying the necessary parameters for making a reservation and the APIs for communicating the values of the necessary parameters to the online reservation service. When requested by the task flow processor 336, the service processor 338 can establish a network connection with the online reservation service using the web address stored in the service models 356, and send the necessary parameters of the reservation (e.g., time, date, party size) to the online reservation interface in a format according to the API of the online reservation service.
In some implementations, the natural language processor 332, dialogue processor 334, and task flow processor 336 are used collectively and iteratively to deduce and define the user's intent, obtain information to further clarify and refine the user intent, and finally generate a response (e.g., provide an output to the user, or complete a task) to fulfill the user's intent.
In some implementations, after all of the tasks needed to fulfill the user's request have been performed, the digital assistant 326 formulates a confirmation response, and sends the response back to the user through the I/O processing module 328. If the user request seeks an informational answer, the confirmation response presents the requested information to the user. In some implementations, the digital assistant also requests the user to indicate whether the user is satisfied with the response produced by the digital assistant 326.
Attention is now directed to
In some implementations, the audio subsystem 226 includes a baseband subsystem 412, an application processor 418, a codec 410, and a buffer 414. In some implementations, more or fewer of these modules are used. The baseband subsystem 412, application processor 418, codec 410, and buffer 414 may be referred to as modules, and may include hardware (e.g., circuitry, memory, processors, etc.), software (e.g., programs, software-on-a-chip, firmware, etc.), and/or any combinations thereof for performing the functionality described herein. In some implementations, the codec 410 includes an analog to digital converter (ADC) and a digital to analog converter (DAC). In some implementations, the audio subsystem 226 is coupled to one or more microphones 230 (
Privacy is a concern for many users. Therefore, in some implementations, the baseband unit (e.g., baseband subsystem 412 in
In some implementations, baseband subsystem 412 includes an audio digital signal processor (DSP) 416. In some implementations, the audio digital signal processor 416 is included within the application processor 418. In some implementations, the audio digital signal processor (DSP) 416 is included within the codec 410. In some implementations, the audio digital signal processor (DSP) 416 is a standalone module within the audio subsystem 226. In some implementations, application processor 418 includes an embedded recognition engine. In some of these implementations, the embedded recognition engine is used to align sound units for updating the adaptive speech recognition model. In some implementations, application processor 418 corresponds to one or more processor(s) 204.
In some implementations, the voice trigger system 400 includes a noise detector 402, a sound-type detector 404, a trigger sound detector 406, and a speech-based service 408, and an audio subsystem 226, each coupled to an audio bus 401. In some implementations, more or fewer of these modules are used. The sound detectors 402, 404, and 406 may be referred to as modules, and may include hardware (e.g., circuitry, memory, processors, etc.), software (e.g., programs, software-on-a-chip, firmware, etc.), and/or any combinations thereof for performing the functionality described herein. In some implementations, the sound detectors are communicatively, programmatically, physically, and/or operationally coupled to one another (e.g., via a communications bus), as illustrated in
In some implementations, the speech-based service 408 is a voice-based digital assistant, and corresponds to one or more components or functionalities of the digital assistant system described above with reference to
In some implementations, the noise detector 402 monitors an audio channel to determine whether a sound input from the audio subsystem 226 satisfies a predetermined condition, such as an amplitude threshold. The audio channel corresponds to a stream of audio information received by one or more sound pickup devices, such as the one or more microphones 230 (
In some implementations, the predetermined condition is whether the sound input is above a certain volume for a predetermined amount of time. In some implementations, the noise detector uses time-domain analysis of the sound input, which requires relatively little computational and battery resources as compared to other types of analysis (e.g., as performed by the sound-type detector 404, the trigger word detector 406, and/or the speech-based service 408). In some implementations, other types of signal processing and/or audio analysis are used, including, for example, frequency-domain analysis. If the noise detector 402 determines that the sound input satisfies the predetermined condition, it initiates an upstream sound detector, such as the sound-type detector 404 (e.g., by providing a control signal to initiate one or more processing routines, and/or by providing power to the upstream sound detector). In some implementations, the upstream sound detector is initiated in response to other conditions being satisfied. For example, in some implementations, the upstream sound detector is initiated in response to determining that the device is not being stored in an enclosed space (e.g., based on a light detector detecting a threshold level of light).
The sound-type detector 404 monitors the audio channel to determine whether a sound input corresponds to a certain type of sound, such as sound that is characteristic of a human voice, whistle, clap, etc. The type of sound that the sound-type detector 404 is configured to recognize will correspond to the particular trigger sound(s) that the voice trigger is configured to recognize. In implementations where the trigger sound is a spoken word or phrase, the sound-type detector 404 includes a “voice activity detector” (VAD). In some implementations, the sound-type detector 404 uses frequency-domain analysis of the sound input. For example, the sound-type detector 404 generates a spectrogram of a received sound input (e.g., using a Fourier transform), and analyzes the spectral components of the sound input to determine whether the sound input is likely to correspond to a particular type or category of sounds (e.g., human speech). Thus, in implementations where the trigger sound is a spoken word or phrase, if the audio channel is picking up ambient sound (e.g., traffic noise) but not human speech, the VAD will not initiate the trigger sound detector 406.
In some implementations, the sound-type detector 404 remains active for as long as predetermined conditions of any downstream sound detector (e.g., the noise detector 402) are satisfied. For example, in some implementations, the sound-type detector 404 remains active as long as the sound input includes sound above a predetermined amplitude threshold (as determined by the noise detector 402), and is deactivated when the sound drops below the predetermined threshold. In some implementations, once initiated, the sound-type detector 404 remains active until a condition is met, such as the expiration of a timer (e.g., for 1, 2, 5, or 10 seconds, or any other appropriate duration), the expiration of a certain number of on/off cycles of the sound-type detector 404, or the occurrence of an event (e.g., the amplitude of the sound falls below a second threshold, as determined by the noise detector 402 and/or the sound-type detector 404).
As mentioned above, if the sound-type detector 404 determines that the sound input corresponds to a predetermined type of sound, it initiates an upstream sound detector (e.g., by providing a control signal to initiate one or more processing routines, and/or by providing power to the upstream sound detector), such as the trigger sound detector 406.
The trigger sound detector 406 is configured to determine whether a sound input includes at least part of certain predetermined content (e.g., at least part of the trigger word, phrase, or sound). In some implementations, the trigger sound detector 406 compares a representation of the sound input (an “input representation”) to one or more reference representations of the trigger word. If the input representation matches at least one of the one or more reference representations with an acceptable confidence, the trigger sound detector 406 initiates the speech-based service 408 (e.g., by providing a control signal to initiate one or more processing routines, and/or by providing power to the upstream sound detector). In some implementations, the input representation and the one or more reference representations are spectrograms (or mathematical representations thereof), which represent how the spectral density of a signal varies with time. In some implementations, the representations are other types of audio signatures or voiceprints. In some implementations, initiating the speech-based service 408 includes bringing one or more circuits, programs, and/or processors out of a standby mode, and invoking the sound-based service. The sound-based service is then ready to provide more comprehensive speech recognition, speech-to-text processing, and/or natural language processing.
In some implementations, the voice-trigger system 400 includes voice authentication functionality, so that it can determine if a sound input corresponds to a voice of a particular person, such as an owner/user of the device. For example, in some implementations, the sound-type detector 404 uses a voiceprinting technique to determine that the sound input was uttered by an authorized user. Voice authentication and voiceprinting are described in more detail in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/053,144, assigned to the assignee of the instant application, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. In some implementations, voice authentication is included in any of the sound detectors described herein (e.g., the noise detector 402, the sound-type detector 404, the trigger sound detector 406, and/or the speech-based service 408). In some implementations, voice authentication is implemented as a separate module from the sound detectors listed above (e.g., as voice authentication module 426,
In some implementations, the trigger sound detector 406 remains active for as long as conditions of any downstream sound detector(s) (e.g., the noise detector 402 and/or the sound-type detector 404) are satisfied. For example, in some implementations, the trigger sound detector 406 remains active as long as the sound input includes sound above a predetermined threshold (as detected by the noise detector 402). In some implementations, it remains active as long as the sound input includes sound of a certain type (as detected by the sound-type detector 404). In some implementations, it remains active as long as both of the foregoing conditions are met.
In some implementations, once initiated, the trigger sound detector 406 remains active until a condition is met, such as the expiration of a timer (e.g., for 1, 2, 5, or 10 seconds, or any other appropriate duration), the expiration of a certain number of on/off cycles of the trigger sound detector 406, or the occurrence of an event (e.g., the amplitude of the sound falls below a second threshold).
In some implementations, when one sound detector initiates another detector, both sound detectors remain active. However, the sound detectors may be active or inactive at various times, and it is not necessary that all of the downstream (e.g., the lower power and/or sophistication) sound detectors be active (or that their respective conditions are met) in order for upstream sound detectors to be active. For example, in some implementations, after the noise detector 402 and the sound-type detector 404 determine that their respective conditions are met, and the trigger sound detector 406 is initiated, one or both of the noise detector 402 and the sound-type detector 404 are deactivated and/or enter a standby mode while the trigger sound detector 406 operates. In other implementations, both the noise detector 402 and the sound-type detector 404 (or one or the other) stay active while the trigger sound detector 406 operates. In various implementations, different combinations of the sound detectors are active at different times, and whether one is active or inactive may depend on the state of other sound detectors, or may be independent of the state of other sound detectors.
While
Moreover, different combinations of sound detectors may be used at different times. For example, the particular combination of sound detectors and how they interact may depend on one or more conditions, such as the context or operating state of a device. As a specific example, if a device is plugged in (and thus not relying exclusively on battery power), the trigger sound detector 406 is active, while the noise detector 402 and the sound-type detector 404 remain inactive. In another example, if the device is in a pocket or backpack, all sound detectors are inactive.
By cascading sound detectors as described above, where the detectors that require more power are invoked only when necessary by detectors that require lower power, power efficient voice triggering functionality can be provided. As described above, additional power efficiency is achieved by operating one or more of the sound detectors according to a duty cycle. For example, in some implementations, the noise detector 402 operates according to a duty cycle so that it performs effectively continuous noise detection, even though the noise detector is off for at least part of the time. In some implementations, the noise detector 402 is on for 10 milliseconds and off for 90 milliseconds. In some implementations, the noise detector 402 is on for 20 milliseconds and off for 500 milliseconds. Other on and off durations are also possible.
In some implementations, if the noise detector 402 detects a noise during its “on” interval, the noise detector 402 will remain on in order to further process and/or analyze the sound input. For example, the noise detector 402 may be configured to initiate an upstream sound detector if it detects sound above a predetermined amplitude for a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 100 milliseconds). Thus, if the noise detector 402 detects sound above a predetermined amplitude during its 10 millisecond “on” interval, it will not immediately enter the “off” interval. Instead, the noise detector 402 remains active and continues to process the sound input to determine whether it exceeds the threshold for the full predetermined duration (e.g., 100 milliseconds).
In some implementations, the sound-type detector 404 operates according to a duty cycle. In some implementations, the sound-type detector 404 is on for 20 milliseconds and off for 100 milliseconds. Other on and off durations are also possible. In some implementations, the sound-type detector 404 is able to determine whether a sound input corresponds to a predetermined type of sound within the “on” interval of its duty cycle. Thus, the sound-type detector 404 will initiate the trigger sound detector 406 (or any other upstream sound detector) if the sound-type detector 404 determines, during its “on” interval, that the sound is of a certain type. Alternatively, in some implementations, if the sound-type detector 404 detects, during the “on” interval, sound that may correspond to the predetermined type, the detector will not immediately enter the “off” interval. Instead, the sound-type detector 404 remains active and continues to process the sound input and determine whether it corresponds to the predetermined type of sound. In some implementations, if the sound detector determines that the predetermined type of sound has been detected, it initiates the trigger sound detector 406 to further process the sound input and determine if the trigger sound has been detected.
Similar to the noise detector 402 and the sound-type detector 404, in some implementations, the trigger sound detector 406 operates according to a duty cycle. In some implementations, the trigger sound detector 406 is on for 50 milliseconds and off for 50 milliseconds. Other on and off durations are also possible. If the trigger sound detector 406 detects, during its “on” interval, that there is sound that may correspond to a trigger sound, the detector will not immediately enter the “off” interval. Instead, the trigger sound detector 406 remains active and continues to process the sound input and determine whether it includes the trigger sound. In some implementations, if such a sound is detected, the trigger sound detector 406 remains active to process the audio for a predetermined duration, such as 1, 2, 5, or 10 seconds, or any other appropriate duration. In some implementations, the duration is selected based on the length of the particular trigger word or sound that it is configured to detect. For example, if the trigger phrase is “Hey, SIRI,” the trigger word detector is operated for about 2 seconds to determine whether the sound input includes that phrase.
In some implementations, some of the sound detectors are operated according to a duty cycle, while others operate continuously when active. For example, in some implementations, only the first sound detector is operated according to a duty cycle (e.g., the noise detector 402 in
In some implementations, the voice trigger includes noise, echo, and/or sound cancellation functionality (referred to collectively as noise cancellation). In some implementations, noise cancellation is performed by the audio subsystem 226 (e.g., by the audio DSP 416). Noise cancellation reduces or removes unwanted noise or sounds from the sound input prior to it being processed by the sound detectors. In some cases, the unwanted noise is background noise from the user's environment, such as a fan or the clicking from a keyboard. In some implementations, the unwanted noise is any sound above, below, or at predetermined amplitudes or frequencies. For example, in some implementations, sound above the typical human vocal range (e.g., 3,000 Hz) is filtered out or removed from the signal. In some implementations, multiple microphones (e.g., the microphones 230) are used to help determine what components of received sound should be reduced and/or removed. For example, in some implementations, the audio subsystem 226 uses beam forming techniques to identify sounds or portions of sound inputs that appear to originate from a single point in space (e.g., a user's mouth). The audio subsystem 226 then focuses on this sound by removing from the sound input sounds that are received equally by all microphones (e.g., ambient sound that does not appear to originate from any particular direction).
In some implementations, the DSP 416 is configured to cancel or remove from the sound input sounds that are being output by the device on which the digital assistant is operating. For example, if the audio subsystem 226 is outputting music, radio, a podcast, a voice output, or any other audio content (e.g., via the speaker 228), the DSP 416 removes any of the outputted sound that was picked up by a microphone and included in the sound input. Thus, the sound input is free of the outputted audio (or at least contains less of the outputted audio). Accordingly, the sound input that is provided to the sound detectors will be cleaner, and the triggers more accurate. Aspects of noise cancellation are described in more detail in U.S. Pat. No. 7,272,224, assigned to the assignee of the instant application, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
In some implementations, different sound detectors require that the sound input be filtered and/or preprocessed in different ways. For example, in some implementations, the noise detector 402 is configured to analyze time-domain audio signal between 60 and 20,000 Hz, and the sound-type detector is configured to perform frequency-domain analysis of audio between 60 and 3,000 Hz. Thus, in some implementations, the audio DSP 46 (and/or other audio DSPs of the device 104) preprocesses received audio according to the respective needs of the sound detectors. In some implementations, on the other hand, the sound detectors are configured to filter and/or preprocess the audio from the audio subsystem 226 according to their specific needs. In such cases, the audio DSP 416 may still perform noise cancellation prior to providing the sound input to the sound detectors.
In some implementations, the context of the electronic device is used to help determine whether and how to operate the voice trigger. For example, it may be unlikely that users will invoke a speech-based service, such as a voice-based digital assistant, when the device is stored in their pocket, purse, or backpack. Also, it may be unlikely that users will invoke a speech-based service when they are at a loud rock concert. For some users, it is unlikely that they will invoke a speech-based service at certain times of the day (e.g., late at night). On the other hand, there are also contexts in which it is more likely that a user will invoke a speech-based service using a voice trigger. For example, some users will be more likely to use a voice trigger when they are driving, when they are alone, when they are at work, or the like. Various techniques are used to determine the context of a device. In various implementations, the device uses information from any one or more of the following components or information sources to determine the context of a device: GPS receivers, light sensors, microphones, proximity sensors, orientation sensors, inertial sensors, cameras, communications circuitry and/or antennas, charging and/or power circuitry, switch positions, temperature sensors, compasses, accelerometers, calendars, user preferences, etc.
The context of the device can then be used to adjust how and whether the voice trigger operates. For example, in certain contexts, the voice trigger will be deactivated (or operated in a different mode) as long as that context is maintained. For example, in some implementations, the voice trigger is deactivated when the phone is in a predetermined orientation (e.g., lying face-down on a surface), during predetermined time periods (e.g., between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM), when the phone is in a “silent” or a “do not disturb” mode (e.g., based on a switch position, mode setting, or user preference), when the device is in a substantially enclosed space (e.g., a pocket, bag, purse, drawer, or glove box), when the device is near other devices that have a voice trigger and/or speech-based services (e.g., based on proximity sensors, acoustic/wireless/infrared communications), and the like. In some implementations, instead of being deactivated, the voice trigger system 400 is operated in a low-power mode (e.g., by operating the noise detector 402 according to a duty cycle with a 10 millisecond “on” interval and a 5 second “off” interval). In some implementations, an audio channel is monitored more infrequently when the voice trigger system 400 is operated in a low-power mode. In some implementations, a voice trigger uses a different sound detector or combination of sound detectors when it is in a low-power mode than when it is in a normal mode. (The voice trigger may be capable of numerous different modes or operating states, each of which may use a different amount of power, and different implementations will use them according to their specific designs.)
On the other hand, when the device is in some other contexts, the voice trigger will be activated (or operated in a different mode) so long as that context is maintained. For example, in some implementations, the voice trigger remains active while it is plugged into a power source, when the phone is in a predetermined orientation (e.g., lying face-up on a surface), during predetermined time periods (e.g., between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM), when the device is travelling and/or in a car (e.g., based on GPS signals, BLUETOOTH connection or docking with a vehicle, etc.), and the like. Aspects of determining when a device is in a vehicle are described in more detail in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/657,744, assigned to the assignee of the instant application, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Several specific examples of how to determine certain contexts are provided below. In various embodiments, different techniques and/or information sources are used to detect these and other contexts.
As noted above, whether or not the voice trigger system 400 is active (e.g., listening) can depend on the physical orientation of a device. In some implementations, the voice trigger is active when the device is placed “face-up” on a surface (e.g., with the display and/or touchscreen surface visible), and/or is inactive when it is “face-down.” This provides a user with an easy way to activate and/or deactivate the voice trigger without requiring manipulation of settings menus, switches, or buttons. In some implementations, the device detects whether it is face-up or face-down on a surface using light sensors (e.g., based on the difference in incident light on a front and a back face of the device 104), proximity sensors, magnetic sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes, tilt sensors, cameras, and the like.
In some implementations, other operating modes, settings, parameters, or preferences are affected by the orientation and/or position of the device. In some implementations, the particular trigger sound, word, or phrase of the voice trigger is listening for depends on the orientation and/or position of the device. For example, in some implementations, the voice trigger listens for a first trigger word, phrase, or sound when the device is in one orientation (e.g., laying face-up on a surface), and a different trigger word, phrase, or sound when the device is in another orientation (e.g., laying face-down). In some implementations, the trigger phrase for a face-down orientation is longer and/or more complex than for a face-up orientation. Thus, a user can place a device face-down when they are around other people or in a noisy environment so that the voice trigger can still be operational while also reducing false accepts, which may be more frequent for shorter or simpler trigger words. As a specific example, a face-up trigger phrase may be “Hey, SRI,” while a face-down trigger phrase may be “Hey, SIRI, this is Andrew, please wake up.” The longer trigger phrase also provides a larger voice sample for the sound detectors and/or voice authenticators to process and/or analyze, thus increasing the accuracy of the voice trigger and decreasing false accepts.
In some implementations, the device 104 detects whether it is in a vehicle (e.g., a car). A voice trigger is particularly beneficial for invoking a speech-based service when the user is in a vehicle, as it helps reduce the physical interactions that are necessary to operate the device and/or the speech based service. Indeed, one of the benefits of a voice-based digital assistant is that it can be used to perform tasks where looking at and touching a device would be impractical or unsafe. Thus, the voice trigger may be used when the device is in a vehicle so that the user does not have to touch the device in order to invoke the digital assistant. In some implementations, the device determines that it is in a vehicle by detecting that it has been connected to and/or paired with a vehicle, such as through BLUETOOTH communications (or other wireless communications) or through a docking connector or cable. In some implementations, the device determines that it is in a vehicle by determining the device's location and/or speed (e.g., using GPS receivers, accelerometers, and/or gyroscopes). If it is determined that the device is likely in a vehicle, because it is travelling above 20 miles per hour and is determined to be travelling along a road, for example, then the voice trigger remains active and/or in a high-power or more sensitive state.
In some implementations, the device detects whether the device is stored (e.g., in a pocket, purse, bag, a drawer, or the like) by determining whether it is in a substantially enclosed space. In some implementations, the device uses light sensors (e.g., dedicated ambient light sensors and/or cameras) to determine that it is stored. For example, in some implementations, the device is likely being stored if light sensors detect little or no light. In some implementations, the time of day and/or location of the device are also considered. For example, if the light sensors detect low light levels when high light levels would be expected (e.g., during the day), the device may be in storage and the voice trigger system 400 not needed. Thus, the voice trigger system 400 will be placed in a low-power or standby state.
In some implementations, the difference in light detected by sensors located on opposite faces of a device can be used to determine its position, and hence whether or not it is stored. Specifically, users are likely to attempt to activate a voice trigger when the device is resting on a table or surface rather than when it is being stored in a pocket or bag. But when a device is lying face-down (or face-up) on a surface such as a table or desk, one surface of the device will be occluded so that little or no light reaches that surface, while the other surface will be exposed to ambient light. Thus, if light sensors on the front and back face of a device detect significantly different light levels, the device determines that it is not being stored. On the other hand, if light sensors on opposite faces detect the same or similar light levels, the device determines that it is being stored in a substantially enclosed space. Also, if the light sensors both detect a low light level during the daytime (or when the device would expect the phone to be in a bright environment, the device determines with a greater confidence that it is being stored.
In some implementations, other techniques are used (instead of or in addition to light sensors) to determine whether the device is stored. For example, in some implementations, the device emits one or more sounds (e.g., tones, clicks, pings, etc.) from a speaker or transducer (e.g., speaker 228), and monitors one or more microphones or transducers (e.g., microphone 230) to detect echoes of the omitted sound(s). (In some implementations, the device emits inaudible signals, such as sound outside of the human hearing range.) From the echoes, the device determines characteristics of the surrounding environment. For example, a relatively large environment (e.g., a room or a vehicle) will reflect the sound differently than a relatively small, enclosed environment (e.g., a pocket, purse, bag, drawer, or the like).
In some implementations, the voice trigger system 400 operates differently if it is near other devices (such as other devices that have voice triggers and/or speech-based services) than if it is not near other devices. This may be useful, for example, to shut down or decrease the sensitivity of the voice trigger system 400 when many devices are close together so that if one person utters a trigger word, other surrounding devices are not triggered as well. In some implementations, a device determines proximity to other devices using RFID, near-field communications, infrared/acoustic signals, or the like.
Voice triggers are particularly useful when a device is being operated in a hands-free mode, such as when the user is driving. In such cases, users often use external audio systems, such as wired or wireless headsets, watches with speakers and/or microphones, a vehicle's built-in microphones and speakers, etc., to free themselves from having to hold a device near their face to make a call or dictate text inputs. For example, wireless headsets and vehicle audio systems may connect to an electronic device using BLUETOOTH communications, or any other appropriate wireless communication. However, it may be inefficient for a voice trigger to monitor audio received via a wireless audio accessory because of the power required to maintain an open audio channel with the wireless accessory. In particular, a wireless headset may hold enough charge in its battery to provide a few hours of continuous talk-time, and it is therefore preferable to reserve the battery for when the headset is needed for actual communication, instead of using it to simply monitor ambient audio and wait for a possible trigger sound. Moreover, wired external headset accessories may require significantly more power than on-board microphones alone, and keeping the headset microphone active will deplete the device's battery charge. This is especially true considering that the ambient audio received by the wireless or wired headset will typically consist mostly of silence or irrelevant sounds. Thus, in some implementations, the voice trigger system 400 monitors audio from the microphone 230 on the device even when the device is coupled to an external microphone (wired or wireless). Then, when the voice trigger detects the trigger word, the device initializes an active audio link with the external microphone in order to receive subsequent sound inputs (such as a command to a voice-based digital assistant) via the external microphone rather than the on-device microphone 230.
When certain conditions are met, though, an active communication link can be maintained between an external audio system 416 (which may be communicatively coupled to the device 104 via wires or wirelessly) and the device so that the voice trigger system 400 can listen for a trigger sound via the external audio system 416 instead of (or in addition to) the on-device microphone 230. For example, in some implementations, characteristics of the motion of the electronic device and/or the external audio system 416 (e.g., as determined by accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc. on the respective devices) are used to determine whether the voice trigger system 400 should monitor ambient sound using the on-device microphone 230 or an external microphone 418. Specifically, the difference between the motion of the device and the external audio system 416 provides information about whether the external audio system 416 is actually in use. For example, if both the device and a wireless headset are moving (or not moving) substantially identically, it may be determined that the headset is not in use or is not being worn. This may occur, for example, because both devices are near to each other and idle (e.g., sitting on a table or stored in a pocket, bag, purse, drawer, etc.). Accordingly, under these conditions, the voice trigger system 400 monitors the on-device microphone, because it is unlikely that the headset is actually being used. If there is a difference in motion between the wireless headset and the device, however, it is determined that the headset is being worn by a user. These conditions may occur, for example, because the device has been set down (e.g., on a surface or in a bag), while the headset is being worn on the user's head (which will likely move at least a small amount, even when the wearer is relatively still). Under these conditions, because it is likely that the headset is being worn, the voice trigger system 400 maintains an active communication link and monitors the microphone 418 of the headset instead of (or in addition to) the on-device microphone 230. And because this technique focuses on the difference in the motion of the device and the headset, motion that is common to both devices can be canceled out. This may be useful, for example, when a user is using a headset in a moving vehicle, where the device (e.g., a cellular phone) is resting in a cup holder, empty seat, or in the user's pocket, and the headset is worn on the user's head. Once the motion that is common to both devices is cancelled out (e.g., the vehicle's motion), the relative motion of the headset as compared to the device (if any) can be determined in order to determine whether the headset is likely in use (or, whether the headset is not being worn). While the above discussion refers to wireless headsets, similar techniques are applied to wired headsets as well.
Because people's voices vary greatly, it may be necessary or beneficial to tune a voice trigger to improve its accuracy in recognizing the voice of a particular user. Also, people's voices may change over time, for example, because of illnesses, natural voice changes relating to aging or hormonal changes, and the like. Thus, in some implementations, the voice trigger system 400 is able to adapt its voice and/or sound recognition profiles for a particular user or group of users (e.g., by using an adaptive speech recognition model).
As described above, sound detectors (e.g., the sound-type detector 404 and/or the trigger sound detector 406) may be configured to compare a representation of a sound input (e.g., the sound or utterance provided by a user) to one or more reference representations. For example, if an input representation matches the reference representation to a predetermined confidence level, the sound detector will determine that the sound input corresponds to a predetermined type of sound (e.g., the sound-type detector 404), or that the sound input includes predetermined content (e.g., the trigger sound detector 406). In order to tune the voice trigger system 400, in some implementations, the device adjusts the reference representation to which the input representation is compared. In some implementations, the reference representation is adjusted (or created) as part of a voice enrollment or “training” procedure, where a user outputs the trigger sound several times so that the device can adjust (or create) the reference representation. The device can then create a reference representation using that person's actual voice.
In some implementations, the device uses trigger sounds that are received under normal use conditions to adjust the reference representation. For example, after a successful voice triggering event (e.g., where the sound input was found to satisfy all of the triggering criteria) the device will use information from the sound input to adjust and/or tune the reference representation. In some implementations, only sound inputs that were determined to satisfy all or some of the triggering criteria with a certain confidence level are used to adjust the reference representation. Thus, when the voice trigger is less confident that a sound input corresponds to or includes a trigger sound, that voice input may be ignored for the purposes of adjusting the reference representation. On the other hand, in some implementations, sound inputs that satisfied the voice trigger system 400 to a lower confidence are used to adjust the reference representation.
In some implementations, the device 104 iteratively adjusts the reference representation (using these or other techniques) as more and more sound inputs are received so that slight changes in a user's voice over time can be accommodated. For example, in some implementations, the device 104 (and/or associated devices or services) adjusts the reference representation after each successful triggering event. In some implementations, the device 104 analyzes the sound input associated with each successful triggering event and determines if the reference representations should be adjusted based on that input (e.g., if certain conditions are met), and only adjusts the reference representation if it is appropriate to do so. In some implementations, the device 104 maintains a moving average of the reference representation over time.
In some implementations, the voice trigger system 400 detects sounds that do not satisfy one or more of the triggering criteria (e.g., as determined by one or more of the sound detectors), but that may actually be attempts by an authorized user to do so. For example, voice trigger system 400 may be configured to respond to a trigger phrase such as “Hey, SIRI”, but if a user's voice has changed (e.g., due to sickness, age, accent/inflection changes, etc.), the voice trigger system 400 may not recognize the user's attempt to activate the device. (This may also occur when the voice trigger system 400 has not been properly tuned for that user's particular voice, such as when the voice trigger system 400 is set to default conditions and/or the user has not performed an initialization or training procedure to customize the voice trigger system 400 for his or her voice.) If the voice trigger system 400 does not respond to the user's first attempt to active the voice trigger, the user is likely to repeat the trigger phrase. The device detects that these repeated sound inputs are similar to one another, and/or that they are similar to the trigger phrase (though not similar enough to cause the voice trigger system 400 to activate the speech-based service). If such conditions are met, the device determines that the sound inputs correspond to valid attempts to activate the voice trigger system 400. Accordingly, in some implementations, the voice trigger system 400 uses those received sound inputs to adjust one or more aspects of the voice trigger system 400 so that similar utterances by the user will be accepted as valid triggers in the future. In some implementations, these sound inputs are used to adapt the voice trigger system 400 only if certain conditions or combinations of conditions are met. For example, in some implementations, the sound inputs are used to adapt the voice trigger system 400 when a predetermined number of sound inputs are received in succession (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, or any other appropriate number), when the sound inputs are sufficiently similar to the reference representation, when the sound inputs are sufficiently similar to each other, when the sound inputs are close together (e.g., when they are received within a predetermined time period and/or at or near a predetermined interval), and/or any combination of these or other conditions.
In some cases, the voice trigger system 400 may detect one or more sound inputs that do not satisfy one or more of the triggering criteria, followed by a manual initiation of the speech-based service (e.g., by pressing a button or icon). In some implementations, the voice trigger system 400 determines that, because speech-based service was initiated shortly after the sound inputs were received, the sound inputs actually corresponded to failed voice triggering attempts. Accordingly, the voice trigger system 400 uses those received sound inputs to adjust one or more aspects of the voice trigger system 400 so that utterances by the user will be accepted as valid triggers in the future, as described above.
While the adaptation techniques described above refer to adjusting a reference representation, other aspects of the trigger sound detecting techniques may be adjusted in the same or similar manner in addition to or instead of adjusting the reference representation. For example, in some implementations, the device adjusts how sound inputs are filtered and/or what filters are applied to sound inputs, such as to focus on and/or eliminate certain frequencies or ranges of frequencies of a sound input. In some implementations, the device adjusts an algorithm that is used to compare the input representation with the reference representation. For example, in some implementations, one or more terms of a mathematical function used to determine the difference between an input representation and a reference representation are changed, added, or removed, or a different mathematical function is substituted.
In some implementations, adaptation techniques such as those described above require more resources than the voice trigger system 400 is able to or is configured to provide. In particular, the sound detectors may not have, or have access to, the amount or the types of processors, data, or memory that are necessary to perform the iterative adaptation of a reference representation and/or a sound detection algorithm (or any other appropriate aspect of the voice trigger system 400). Thus, in some implementations, one or more of the above described adaptation techniques are performed by a more powerful processor, such as an application processor (e.g., the processor(s) 204), or by a different device (e.g., the server system 108). However, the voice trigger system 400 is designed to operate even when the application processor is in a standby mode. Thus, the sound inputs which are to be used to adapt the voice trigger system 400 are received when the application processor is not active and cannot process the sound input. Accordingly, in some implementations, the sound input is stored by the device so that it can be further processed and/or analyzed after it is received. In some implementations, the sound input is stored in the memory buffer 414 of the audio subsystem 226. In some implementations, the sound input is stored in system memory (e.g., memory 250,
The system provides (504) an adaptive speech recognition model. In some implementations, the system provides a speaker-independent model (e.g., a canonical model). For example, in some implementations, the system determines that a speaker-dependent model has not been stored for a corresponding user and, in accordance with that determination, provides an initial speaker-independent model. In another example, the system determines that the first mobile communication device is not associated with any stored speaker-dependent models and, in accordance with that determination, provides a speaker-independent model. In some implementations, the system provides a speaker-dependent model associated with a user of the first mobile communication device. For example, the system determines that a stored speaker-dependent model corresponds to the user and, in accordance with that determination, provides the stored speaker-dependent model
The system analyzes (506) into an outbound audio channel of the first mobile communication device to obtain a call audio signal corresponding to audio input from one or more microphones of the first mobile communication device. In some implementations, analyzing the outbound audio channel includes analyzing a baseband unit (e.g., baseband subsystem 412 in
In some implementations, prior to analyzing the outbound audio channel, the system converts the audio signal from an analog audio signal to a digital audio signal. For example, in some implementations, the system converts the audio signal in a codec (e.g., codec 410 in
In some embodiments, analyzing the outbound audio channel comprises utilizing (508) a voice activity detector (VAD) to determine when there is active speech on the outbound audio channel; in accordance with a determination that there is active speech on the outbound audio channel, analyzing the outbound audio channel; and in accordance with a determination that there is not active speech on the outbound audio channel, forgoing analyzing the outbound audio channel. For example, in some embodiments, the system utilizes a VAD included within a voice trigger system (e.g., voice trigger system 400 in
The system updates (510) the adaptive speech recognition model with training data (e.g., one or more speaker-dependent sound units) derived from the call audio signal. In some implementations, prior to updating the adaptive speech recognition model, the system determines that the call has ended. In some implementations, updating the adaptive speech recognition model comprises replacing the adaptive speech recognition model with a new adaptive speech recognition model generated from the training data. For example, in some of these implementations, the system discards the provided adaptive speech recognition model and stores a new adaptive speech recognition model generated from the training data obtained during the call.
In some implementations, updating the adaptive speech recognition model comprises generating a speaker-dependent model from the data, comparing the speaker-dependent model to the adaptive speech recognition model, and updating the adaptive speech recognition model based on the comparison. In some of these implementations, updating the adaptive speech recognition model based on the comparison includes directly adapting the model parameters. In some other implementations, updating the adaptive speech recognition model based on the comparison includes applying Linear transforms (e.g., an MLLR transform) for a set of Gaussians to the model parameters. In some implementations, updating the adaptive speech recognition model based on the comparison includes aligning a user's speech to phonetic sound units. These alignments are subsequently used to update each sound unit in the adaptive speech recognition model. In some implementations, the system updates the adaptive speech recognition model with training data only if the amount of training data reaches a predetermined threshold (e.g., batch adaptation). In some of these implementations, the system updates the adaptive speech recognition model with training data derived from the call audio signal and discards any prior data.
In some implementations, the system utilizes the adaptive speech recognition model to authenticate a user on a device (e.g., the first mobile communication device). For example, in some of these implementations, voice-trigger system 400 includes voice authentication module 426 and voice authentication module 426 utilizes the adaptive speech recognition model to authenticate the user. In some of these implementations, the adaptive speech recognition model comprises a Gaussian mixture model that models the unique characteristics of the associated user. A statistical likelihood measure is used to render an authentication by how the user's voice matches the adaptive speech recognition model versus a second model calculated from large amounts of anti-user data.
In some embodiments, updating the adaptive speech recognition model comprises comparing (512) the call audio signal with the adaptive speech recognition model, generating a confidence score based on the comparison; in accordance with a determination that the confidence score is at or above a predetermined threshold, updating the adaptive speech recognition model with the training data derived from the call audio signal; and, in accordance with a determination that the confidence score is below the predetermined threshold, forgoing the updating of the adaptive speech recognition model. For example, a confidence score below the predetermined threshold may indicate that a user is not associated with the provided adaptive speech recognition model or that the user is sick or that conditions have temporarily altered the user's voice. In these examples, forgoing the updating of the adaptive speech recognition model prevents a potential decrease in the model's accuracy which may result from updating the model with the training data.
In some embodiments, the training data derived from the call audio signal includes (514) one or more speaker-dependent sound units (e.g., phonemes). In these embodiments, updating the adaptive speech recognition model comprises comparing at least a subset of the one or more speaker-dependent sound units to the adaptive speech recognition model, generating one or more adaptive speech vectors based on the comparison, and modifying the adaptive speech recognition model based on at least a subset of the one or more adaptive speech vectors.
In some embodiments, the system stores (516) the adaptive speech recognition model in memory. In some implementations, the memory is a component of the first mobile device (e.g., memory 250 in
In some embodiments, the system modifies (518) the adaptive speech recognition model with training data derived from audio user interaction with a digital assistant. In some implementations, the adaptive speech recognition model is updated with training data obtained both from calls and from audio user interactions with a digital assistant. For example, the adaptive speech recognition model is updated when a user makes a call and is then updated again when the user audibly interacts with a digital assistant.
In some embodiments, after said updating, the system receives (520) invocation of the digital assistant, receives speech input from a second user, generates speech-to-text output corresponding to the speech input, and provides the speech-to-text output to the digital assistant. For example, a user (e.g., a user of device 104a in
In some embodiments, generating speech-to-text output corresponding to the speech input comprises comparing (522) the speech input with the adaptive speech recognition model; in accordance with a determination that the second user is the same as the first user, performing automatic speech recognition using the adaptive speech recognition model to generate speech-to-text output; and in accordance with a determination that the second user is distinct from the first user, performing automatic speech recognition using a speaker-independent model to generate speech-to-text output. For example, a user (e.g., a user of device 104a in
In accordance with some implementations,

In some implementations, generating speech-to-text (e.g., with STT generating unit 618) output corresponding to the speech input comprises: comparing (e.g., with speech comparing unit 622) the speech input with the adaptive speech recognition model; in accordance with a determination that the second user is the same as the first user, performing automatic speech recognition using the adaptive speech recognition model to generate speech-to-text output; and in accordance with a determination that the second user is distinct from the first user, performing automatic speech recognition using a speaker-independent model to generate speech-to-text output.
In some implementations, processing unit 604 is further configured to store (e.g., with storing unit 624) the adaptive speech recognition model in memory.
In some implementations, analyzing (e.g., with analyzing unit 612) into the outbound audio channel comprises: utilizing a voice activity detector to determine when there is active speech on the outbound audio channel; in accordance with a determination that there is active speech on the outbound audio channel, analyzing the outbound audio channel; and in accordance with a determination that there is not active speech on the outbound audio channel, forgoing analyzing the outbound audio channel.
In some implementations, updating (e.g., with model updating unit 614) the adaptive speech recognition model comprises: comparing (e.g., with speech comparing unit 622) the call audio signal with the adaptive speech recognition model; generating (e.g., with score generating unit 626) a confidence score based on the comparison; in accordance with a determination that the confidence score is at or above a predetermined threshold, updating the adaptive speech recognition model with the training data derived from the call audio signal; and in accordance with a determination that the confidence score is below the predetermined threshold, forgoing to update the adaptive speech recognition model.
In some implementations, the training data derived from the call audio signal includes one or more speaker-dependent sound units; and updating (e.g., with model updating unit 614) the adaptive speech recognition model comprises: comparing at least a subset of the one or more speaker-dependent sound units to the adaptive speech recognition model; generating (e.g., with speech vector generating unit 628) one or more adaptive speech vectors based on the comparison; and modifying the adaptive speech recognition model based on at least a subset of the one or more adaptive speech vectors.
As described above, one aspect of the present technology is the gathering and use of data available from various sources to improve the delivery to users of invitational content or any other content that may be of interest to them. The present disclosure contemplates that in some instances, this gathered data can include personal information data that uniquely identifies or can be used to contact or locate a specific person. Such personal information data can include demographic data, location-based data, telephone numbers, email addresses, home addresses, or any other identifying information.
The present disclosure recognizes that the use of such personal information data, in the present technology, can be used to the benefit of users. For example, the personal information data can be used to deliver targeted content that is of greater interest to the user. Accordingly, use of such personal information data enables calculated control of the delivered content. Further, other uses for personal information data that benefit the user are also contemplated by the present disclosure.
The present disclosure further contemplates that the entities responsible for the collection, analysis, disclosure, transfer, storage, or other use of such personal information data will comply with well-established privacy policies and/or privacy practices. In particular, such entities should implement and consistently use privacy policies and practices that are generally recognized as meeting or exceeding industry or governmental requirements for maintaining personal information data private and secure. For example, personal information from users should be collected for legitimate and reasonable uses of the entity and not shared or sold outside of those legitimate uses. Further, such collection should occur only after receiving the informed consent of the users. Additionally, such entities would take any needed steps for safeguarding and securing access to such personal information data and ensuring that others with access to the personal information data adhere to their privacy policies and procedures. Further, such entities can subject themselves to evaluation by third parties to certify their adherence to widely accepted privacy policies and practices.
Despite the foregoing, the present disclosure also contemplates examples in which users selectively block the use of, or access to, personal information data. That is, the present disclosure contemplates that hardware and/or software elements can be provided to prevent or block access to such personal information data. For example, in the case of advertisement delivery services, the present technology can be configured to allow users to select to “opt in” or “opt out” of participation in the collection of personal information data during registration for services. In another example, users can select not to provide location information for targeted content delivery services. In yet another example, users can select to not provide precise location information, but permit the transfer of location zone information.
Therefore, although the present disclosure broadly covers use of personal information data to implement one or more various disclosed examples, the present disclosure also contemplates that the various examples can also be implemented without the need for accessing such personal information data. That is, the various examples of the present technology are not rendered inoperable due to the lack of all or a portion of such personal information data. For example, content can be selected and delivered to users by inferring preferences based on non-personal information data or a bare minimum amount of personal information, such as the content being requested by the device associated with a user, other non-personal information available to the content delivery services, or publicly available information.
The foregoing description, for purpose of explanation, has been described with reference to specific implementations. However, the illustrative discussions above are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosed implementations to the precise forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in view of the above teachings. The implementations were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles and practical applications of the disclosed ideas, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize them with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
It will be understood that, although the terms “first,” “second,” etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first sound detector could be termed a second sound detector, and, similarly, a second sound detector could be termed a first sound detector, without changing the meaning of the description, so long as all occurrences of the “first sound detector” are renamed consistently and all occurrences of the “second sound detector” are renamed consistently. The first sound detector and the second sound detector are both sound detectors, but they are not the same sound detector.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular implementations only and is not intended to be limiting of the claims.
