Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“There are many existing systems for interacting with compu ter-based systems using speech capturedfrom a user, as well as other input moda lities through devices such as keyboards, mice, and other devices.”As a supplement to the background information on this patent application, NewsRx correspondents alsoobtained the inventors’ summary information for this patent application: “In some aspects, it is appreciatedthat new modalities of interac ting with computer-based systems by users would be beneficial. With newtypes of devices such as those that can detect and recognize user input such as silent s peech, speech, andother user inputs, it would be helpful to create new modaliti es that permit users to interact with suchsystems more efficiently. For instanc e, it is appreciated that systems and devices that are configured todetect and process gestures, expressions (e.g., facial), tone and/or gestures of the user c an be used for thepurpose of improving the quality and speed of interactions wi th computer-based systems. The informationdetected can be used to improve inter actions (e.g., through training of systems capable of learning) withthe compute r and may be used to provide additional inputs and control to these systems. In the case ofinteractive systems, such information may be used to more efficientl y interact and control these systemsin a user-centric way.
