Title: Voice user interface
Inventor: CARLOS AVILÉS-CASCO VAQUERO
IPC: G10L17/10
Filed: 2016-06-29
Abstract: A speaker recognition system (eg. a neural network) uses different recognition processes on different speech portions (eg. a trigger phrase and a subsequent speech portion) in order to determine whether the speaker is a registered user. Quality measures such as Signal-Noise Ratio, Direct-Reflected Ratio, saturation or received direction are input to different background models (eg. Hidden Markov, Gaussian mixture factor analysis) which yield weighted scores which indicate whether to verify the user and provide anti-spoofing defence. Feedback may then be provided back to the user.

Title: System and method for assigning frequency resource allocation to communication devices
Inventor: DAVID P GURNEY
IPC: H04W72/08
Filed: 2017-08-31
Abstract: A resource scheduler determines a frequency resource allocation for a communication device (i.e. user equipment, UE) to operate in a communication channel within a frequency range based on at least one interference emission threshold and at least one communication device emission level. The at least one interference emission threshold is associated with the frequency range 420 and the at least one communication device emission level is based on at least the communication device model 410. The frequency resource allocation is determined so that the at least one communication device emission level is not greater than the at least one interference emission threshold for the frequency range 440. The frequency resource allocation is assigned to the communication device 460. Another aspect of the invention provides assigning a frequency resource allocation to a communication device using the aforementioned process also including determining whether incumbent devices are located near the communication device and assigning the frequency allocation based on this determination. Determining the frequency resource allocation may also depend on: the location of the communication device; and a channel assignment of the communication channel within the frequency range wherein the channel assignment is determined via a spectrum database.
