Filed:

May 14, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/859034

Inventors:

Seth Luisi - Foster City CA, US

International Classification:

G10L021/00
G10L011/00

US Classification:

704/275000

Abstract:

In a gaming system, a user controls actions of characters in the game environment using speech commands. In a learning mode, available speech commands are displayed in a command menu on a display device. In a non-learning mode, the available speech commands are not displayed. A speaker-independent context-sensitive speech recognition module contains a vocabulary of available speech commands. Use of speech commands is combined with input from a controller device to control actions of a character or characters in the game environment.

Appl. No.:

12/099046

Inventors:

Xiadong Mao - Foster City CA, US
Ruxin Chen - Redwood City CA, US
Seth C.H. Luisi - Millbrae CA, US

Assignee:

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. - Tokyo

International Classification:

H04R 1/10

US Classification:

381 74

Abstract:

An audio headset may comprise a case, near field microphone and far field microphone. A speaker, processor, memory, battery, charging interface and cradle detection circuit may be mounted to the case. Processor-executable instructions embodied in the memory, may be configured to implement a battery charging method. The headset may be shut off in response to placement of the headset in a charging cradle. The far-field microphone is turned on but not the near-field microphone. The battery may then be charged from the cradle. A headset having near-field and far-field microphones may be used to distinguish between user speech and competing sounds by generating signals from the sounds detected by each microphone and comparing the strengths of the signals. The signals may be processed as user speech if they are of comparable strength. Otherwise, the near-field signal may be processed as user speech and the far-field signal as competing sounds.
