Method, software and device for uniquely identifying a desired contact in a contacts database based on a single utterance |
摘要 |
A single utterance having a name portion and a qualifier portion is received. The name portion represents a spoken name of a desired contact of a contacts database, and the qualifier portion represents a spoken word or words for disambiguating the name of the desired contact from any homophone names in the contacts database. From the utterance, a digital name representation corresponding to the name portion and a digital qualifier representation corresponding to the qualifier portion are generated. The digital representations may be textual or phonetic representations for example and may result from conversion of the utterance to a digital utterance representation and a parsing of the digital utterance representation. The digital name and qualifier representations are processed to uniquely identify the desired contact within the contacts database. The utterance may contain a disambiguation field identifier portion which facilitates the identification of a disambiguation field.
