Client-server speech recognition with processing level based on value received from client

摘要

Methods and systems for handling speech recognition processing in effectively real-time, via the Internet, in order that users do not experience noticeable delays from the start until they receive responsive feedback. A user uses a client to access the Internet and a server supporting speech recognition processing. The user inputs speech to the client, which transmits the user speech to the server in approximate real-time. The server evaluates the user speech using processing level based on the value received from each client.

1. A method comprising:
at a first client comprising a capability to receive audio speech from a user, after receiving audio speech, encoding the received audio speech; from the first client, after encoding the received audio speech, transmitting packets of encoded audio speech along with a first value over the Internet; at a second client comprising a capability to receive audio speech from a user, after receiving audio speech, encoding the received audio speech; from the second client, after encoding the received audio speech, transmitting packets of encoded audio speech along with a second value over the Internet; at a server, receiving packets of encoded audio speech from two or more clients; and at the server, servicing the encoded audio speech in an amount of processing time based on the first value received from the first client and the second value received from the second client, wherein the server comprises the capability to transmit responses to the first and second clients, and the response is a result of the server's servicing of the encoded audio speech based on the first and second values received from the clients.
