Inventor: MARK C WEBSTER
IPC: G10L15/26
Filed: 2019-11-18
Abstract: A system for microphone-captured voice command matching during testing of voice-assisted application prototypes for languages with non-phonetic alphabets (eg. Mandarin Chinese and Japanese Kanji) displays a visual page off an application, employs speech-to-text 128 on a non-phonetic voice command spoken in a language with a non-phonetic alphabet, converts into a non-phonetic text string 404, and then translates 134 the non-phonetic text string of the voice command into a phonetic text string 406 in a phonetic alphabet of the voice command (eg. Pinyin or Romaji), before finally matching with a stored command string 416 and performing an action associated with the matching voice command.

Title: Measuring vehicle speed in video capture
Inventor: SAMUEL GERARD BAILEY
IPC: G08G1/054
Filed: 2020-10-04
Abstract: A method of determining the speed of a vehicle in a video capture sequence comprises tracking the position of the wheels of the vehicle across multiple frames of the video sequence. Using knowledge of the distance between the wheels of the vehicle, the wheelbase, and measuring the time between frame captures 1, 3, the speed of the vehicle can be determined. The time between the front wheel 2 crossing a position 6, and the subsequent time the rear wheel 4 crosses the same position can be measured from the captured images, and this time used to calculate the speed based on the known wheelbase of the vehicle. The time the rear wheel passes the position can be determined via interpolation, such as liner interpolation, based on the position of the wheel in images where the wheel is either side of the position. The location of the wheels in the images can be determined using a neural network, template matching, or a circular Hough Transform. The tracking of the wheels between frames can be improved using a Kalman filter. The wheelbase can be determined from reading the license plate 5 of the vehicle and querying a vehicle information database.

Title: Predicting user needs for a particular context
Inventor: SANJIT JHALA
IPC: G06F16/2457
Filed: 2016-04-12
Abstract: A method for automatically and proactively providing a current user of a computing device with information for completing a task in a particular context. A stored history of previous actions of the current user and the previous actions performed by a group of users in the particular context are used to identify an action that the current user may perform with the computing device for the particular context. If the likelihood of the action being performed in the particular context sufficiently outweighs the likelihood of the action being performed in a broader context, then the information for completing the action in the particular context is provided automatically and proactively to the current user. The invention seeks to automatically provide information to a user that is sufficiently unique to a situation, such as provide taxi information at an airport, whilst information for routine actions, such as checking emails, is not provided to the user.
