Application ID: 10844211

Base Claim:
1. A system comprising a speech recognizer with end of utterance detection, wherein the speech recognizer is configured to calculate values of state scores and token scores associated with frames of received speech data, the speech recognizer is configured to determine best state scores and best token scores, a best state score being a score of a state having the best probability amongst a number of states in a state model for speech recognition purposes, and a best token score being the best probability of a token amongst a number of tokens used for speech recognition purposes, the speech recognizer is configured to, at each received frame of received speech data, determine whether recognition result determined from received speech data is stabilized, if the recognition result determined from received speech data is not stabilized at a current frame, the speech recognizer is configured to continue speech processing for a next received speech frame and to calculate values of state scores and token scores and to determine the best state score and best token score for the next received speech frame, if the recognition result determined from speech data is stabilized at the current frame, the speech recognizer is configured to, in place of continuing speech processing for the next received frame, process values of the determined best state scores and best token scores associated with frames of received speech data for end of utterance detection purposes, and on the basis of the processed values of the best state scores and best token scores, whether end of utterance is detected or not, if the end of utterance is not detected on the basis of the processed values of the best state scores and best token scores, the speech recognizer is configured to continue speech processing for a next received speech frame and to calculate values of state scores and token scores and to determine the best state score and best token score for the next received speech frame, and if the end of utterance is detected on the basis of the processed values of the best state scores and best token scores, the speech recognizer is configured to end the speech processing.

Claim 10:
10. A system according to claim 1 , wherein the speech recognizer is configured to determine best token score of at least one inter-word token and best token score of an exit token, and the speech recognizer is configured to determine detection of end of utterance only if the best token score value of the exit token is higher than the best token score of the inter-word token.
