Apparatus and method for determining relevance of input speech

摘要

Audio or visual orientation cues can be used to determine the relevance of input speech. The presence of a user's face may be identified during speech during an interval of time. One or more facial orientation characteristics associated with the user's face during the interval of time may be determined. In some cases, orientation characteristics for input sound can be determined. A relevance of the user's speech during the interval of time may be characterized based on the one or more orientation characteristics.
