RESPONDING TO A MESSAGE GENERATED BY AN EVENT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A mobile communication device (FOB) attached to a user operates on sound information utter by the user to respond to alert messages sent to it by an event notification system (ENS). The FOB is able to transition between a training mode and a normal mode of operation. In the training mode of operation, the FOB can detect and store sound information associated with a user's response to a training alert message. The sound information in the user response to the training alert message is associated with a response code that the user is prompted to enter into the FOB during the training process. In the normal mode of operation, the user can respond to an alert message played by the FOB with a verbal utterance, and the FOB generates and sends a response message to the ENS that includes the response code associated with the training verbal response.

1. In an event notification system, a method of training a mobile communication device, comprising:
entering, by a mobile communication device user, a response code that is associated with an alert training message; controlling the mobile communication device to play the alert training message; responding, by the mobile communication device user, to the played alert training message with an alert training message response utterance that is detected and stored by the mobile communication device in association with the response code; receiving at the mobile communication device from the event notification system an alert message, and playing the alert message; detecting, by the mobile communication device an alert message response utterance generated by the mobile communication device user, and matching the detected alert message response utterance to the stored alert training message response utterance; and generating an alert response message having the response code that is associated with the alert training message, and transmitting the alert response message with the response code to the event notification system.
