Abstract:
A system and method of automated speech recognition using a dynamically-adjustable listening timeout. The method includes: receiving speech signals representing a first speech segment during a first speech listening period; during the first speech listening period, processing the received speech signals representing the first speech segment to determine whether the first speech segment includes one or more insignificant utterances; adjusting a listening timeout in response to the determination of whether the first speech segment includes one or more insignificant utterances; listening for subsequent received speech using the adjusted listening timeout; and performing automatic speech recognition on the received speech signals and/or the subsequently received speech signals.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of automated speech recognition using a dynamically-adjustable listening timeout, wherein the method comprises:\n receiving speech signals representing a first speech segment at a client device during a first speech listening period; during the first speech listening period, processing the speech signals representing the first speech segment as the speech signals are received to determine whether the first speech segment includes one or more insignificant utterances, wherein the insignificant utterances are utterances conveyed by a user in the first speech segment that are separate from any words or speech in the first speech segment contributing to communication conveyed by the user in the first speech segment; adjusting a listening timeout based on the processing step; after the adjusting step and during the first speech listening period, continuing to listen for subsequent speech signals representing a second speech segment using the adjusted listening timeout; and after an end of the first speech listening period, performing automatic speech recognition on the received speech signals and/or subsequently received speech signals.
