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 14):
A speech interface device comprising:\n one or more processors; and memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the speech interface device to:\n receive audio data that represents user speech; \n send the audio data to a remote speech processing system executing on a remote system; \n input the audio data to a local speech processing component of the speech interface device; \n receive first data from the local speech processing component, the first data indicating a first intent output by the local speech processing component; \n determine, based at least in part on the first data, to suspend execution on the first intent for a period of time while waiting for second data representing a second intent from the remote system; \n receive the second data from the remote system prior to a lapse of the period of time; \n determine to respond to the user speech with directive data included in the second data received from the remote system; \n instruct the local speech processing component to terminate the execution; and \n perform an action based at least in part on the directive data.
