SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SPEECH-ENABLED PERSONALIZED OPERATION OF DEVICES AND SERVICES IN MULTIPLE OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

A system provides multi-modal user interaction. The system is configured to detect acoustic events to perform context-sensitive personalized conversations with the speaker. Conversation or communication among the speakers or devices is categorized into different classes as confidential, partially anonymous, or public. When exchange with cloud infrastructure is needed, a clear indicator is presented to the speaker via one or more modalities. Furthermore, different dialog strategies are employed in situations where conversation failures, such as misunderstanding, wrong expectation, emotional stress, or memory deficiencies, occur.

1. A human computer interaction (HCI) system comprising:
at least one user input interface; at least one output interface; an automated device; and a control system operatively connected to the at least one user input interface, the at least one output interface, and the automated device, the control system being configured to:
receive a series of spoken inputs from a user with the at least one input interface;identify the user using a continuous authentication process with a privacy and security management module in the control system;predict a level of authority for the user within a hierarchy of a plurality of users of the system;operate the automated device based on a command from the user in the series of spoken inputs only in response to the level of authority for the user being great enough to authorize the operation of the automated device.
