| 20120066600 | MULTIMODAL USER NOTIFICATION SYSTEM TO ASSIST IN DATA CAPTURE - A system for executing a multimodal software application includes a mobile computer device with a plurality of input interface components, the multimodal software application, and a dialog engine in operative communication with the multimodal software application. The multimodal software application is configured to receive first data from the plurality of input interface components. The dialog engine executes a workflow description from the multimodal software application by providing prompts to an output interface component. Each of these prompts includes notification indicating which of the input interface components are valid receivers for that respective prompt. Furthermore, the notification may indicate the current prompt and at least the next prompt in sequence. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20110287751 | VOICE DIRECTED SYSTEM AND METHOD CONFIGURED FOR ASSURED MESSAGING TO MULTIPLE RECIPIENTS - A communications system transmits messages via a wireless network to multiple users nearly simultaneously in real-time. Each user has a terminal that receives a message and plays the message for the user. The terminal may also wait for the user to verbally acknowledge the arrival of the message before continuing with its normally executing application. The sender of the message may track, for each intended recipient, the delivery of the message, the accessing of the message by the user, and the acknowledgement by the user that the message was understood. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20110056723 | ELECTRICAL CABLE WITH STRENGTH MEMBER - A cord assembly for an electronic device includes a cord having an insulation layer with a first end and an exterior surface, as well as at least one electrical conductor extending within the insulation layer. A strength member also extends within the insulation layer and includes a first end extending beyond the first end of the insulation layer. A securing element couples the first end of the strength member with the first end of the insulation layer along the exterior surface. The strength member is pre-tensioned to carry any additional tensile loads on the cord, at least initially. The cord assembly may also include a strain relief member molded over the first end of the strength member and the securing element. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110029313 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ADAPTING A MODEL FOR A SPEECH RECOGNITION SYSTEM - Methods are disclosed for identifying possible errors made by a speech recognition system without using a transcript of words input to the system. A method for model adaptation for a speech recognition system includes determining an error rate, corresponding to either recognition of instances of a word or recognition of instances of various words, without using a transcript of words input to the system. The method may further include adjusting an adaptation, of the model for the word or various models for the various words, based on the error rate. Apparatus are disclosed for identifying possible errors made by a speech recognition system without using a transcript of words input to the system. An apparatus for model adaptation for a speech recognition system includes a processor adapted to estimate an error rate, corresponding to either recognition of instances of a word or recognition of instances of various words, without using a transcript of words input to the system. The apparatus may further include a controller adapted to adjust an adaptation of the model for the word or various models for the various words, based on the error rate. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20100052871 | SPEECH-DRIVEN PATIENT CARE SYSTEM WITH WEARABLE DEVICES - Embodiments of the invention provide a communication system for care providers and a method of managing patient care utilizing same. The system comprises a patient communication unit configured to be positioned proximate to a patient and operable to capture a patient call that includes speech input of the patient, a central console communicably coupled with the patient communication unit for receiving the call from the patient communication unit, and a portable communication unit configured to be carried by a care provider and communicably coupled with the central console, the portable communication unit operable to receive the call from the central console, to capture speech input of the care provider, and to play at least a portion of the patient speech input, the portable communication unit further operable to convert at least a portion of the care provider speech input into at least one command associated with the call. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20080300016 | AURAL FEEDBACK APPARATUS FOR USER CONTROLS - A device having a processing unit with a processor and controls disposed on the device. The controls are operable for controlling the processing unit and operation of the device. The controls include at least a first button with capacitive sensing. The first button is operable to generate a first indication to a user when touched and further operable to interact with the processing unit to execute a function when depressed. | 12-04-2008 |
