Patent ID: 7024366

Claim:
A method for providing user specific adaptive voice feedback in a multi-level speech recognition driven system, comprising the steps of: detecting whether a user of the speech recognition driven system has provided a voice input; determining whether a voice input is associated with a specific user that is recognized by the speech recognition driven system; providing adaptive voice feedback to the user when the user has not provided a voice input for a predetermined user specific time Period, wherein the adaptive voice feedback is level dependent and provides available commands for a current level; determining whether the voice input Provided by the user is recognized by the speech recognition driven system; performing a speech selectable task when the voice input provided by the user corresponds to a speech selectable task that is recognized by the speech recognition driven system; tracking the number of times in which the user has failed to respond for the predetermined user specific time period at a given level; and deactivating the speech recognition driven system when the user has failed to respond for a user specific set number of the predetermined user specific time periods at the given level, wherein the speech recognition system utilizes voice recognition technology in determining whether a voice input is associated with a specific user, and wherein the predetermined user specific time period and the user specific set number of the predetermined user specific time periods are adjusted by the speech recognition driven system as the ability of a specific user changes, and wherein a neural network is utilized to adjust the predetermined user specific time period and the user specific set number of the predetermined user specific time periods when the ability of a specific user changes.
