Abstract:
A speech interface device is configured with “hybrid” capabilities, which allows the speech interface device to perform actions in response to user speech, even when the speech interface device is unable to communicate with a remote system over a wide area network (e.g., the Internet). A hybrid request selector of the speech interface device sends audio data representing user speech to both a remote speech processing system and a local speech processing component executing on the speech interface device, and then waits for a response from either or both components. The local speech processing component may start execution based on the audio data and subsequently suspend the execution until further instruction from the hybrid request selector. The hybrid request selector can then determine which response to use, and, depending on which response is chosen, may instruct the local speech processing component to either continue or terminate the suspended execution.

Claim (Index 1):
A speech interface device comprising:\n one or more processors; memory; a voice services component stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to send audio data representing user speech to a remote speech processing system executing on a remote system; a hybrid proxy subcomponent of a hybrid request selector component stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to:\n receive the audio data being sent to the remote speech processing system; and \n send the audio data to a hybrid execution controller subcomponent of the hybrid request selector component; and \n the hybrid execution controller subcomponent stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to:\n input the audio data to a local speech processing component of the speech interface device; \n determine preference data indicating a preference for responding to the user speech with locally-generated directive data; \n determine, based at least in part on the preference data, to respond to the user speech with directive data generated by the local speech processing component; \n receive the directive data from the local speech processing component; and \n send, using the hybrid proxy subcomponent, the directive data to the voice services component; and \n the voice services component being further executable by the one or more processors to cause the speech interface device to perform an action based at least in part on the directive data.
