International Classification:

H04L 9/00

US Classification:

713186

Abstract:

A method () and system () for using a biometrically enabled password can include an input device () capable of entering a password entry and a processor () coupled to the input device. The processor can monitor ( or ) a cadence such as monitoring a keystroke signature, store the cadence of the password entry, compare () the cadence of a subsequent password entry with the cadence of at least one previous password entry, establish () a stability metric with respect to the cadences compared, and require () both the password entry and the cadence once the cadence meets the stability metric. The processor can require only the password entry until the stability metric for the cadence is achieved. The processor can also determine () if the password entry is new and optionally require () only the password entry to enter the system if determined as new.

International Classification:

G10L 15/26

US Classification:

704235, 704257, 704 9

Abstract:

The present invention can include a method for tuning grammar option weights of a phrase-based, automatic speech recognition (ASR) grammar, where the grammar option weights affect which entries within the grammar are matched to spoken utterances. The tuning can occur in an unsupervised fashion, meaning no special training session or manual transcription of data from an ASR session is needed. The method can include the step of selecting a phrase-based grammar to use in a communication session with a user wherein different phrase-based grammars can be selected for different users. Feedback of ASR phrase processing operations can be recorded during the communication session. Each ASR phrase processing operation can match a spoken utterance against at least one entry within the selected phrase-based grammar. At least one of the grammar option weights can be automatically adjusted based upon the feedback to improve accuracy of the phrase-based grammar.

International Classification:

G10L 15/04

US Classification:

704251, 704231, 704270, 7042701

Abstract:

A search algorithm utilizing confidence levels of keywords spoken by a caller to identify keyword indexed search items which best match the spoken keywords. In response to receiving a spoken search request from a caller, keywords are identified in the spoken search request. A list of candidates is created comprising a match to at least one of the keywords, wherein each candidate in the list is assigned a level of confidence in the match. Keyword indexed search items having at least one of the keywords as an index and an original matching score are then located. The original matching score of each keyword indexed search item is weighted with the level of confidence in the list of candidates to form weighted matching scores. The keyword indexed search items are sorted based on weighted matching score. A list of the sorted keyword indexed search items is then created.

US Classification:

709204, 715751, 715838, 709207

Abstract:

The present invention discloses a chat tool including a chat window configured to permit a user to simultaneously receive chat messages for two or more different chat sessions, thereby permitting side discussions within a secondary chat session. Each of the different chat sessions can correspond to a session specific chat channel. Different chat sessions can include private and public sessions. The participants of a private chat session can be participants of the public chat session and/or can be able to view discussions occurring in the public chat session. Further, members of the public chat session can be unaware of the existence of the private chat session. Any number of private chat sessions can be spawned from a public chat session using an invitation option, which automatically establishes new private sessions for invited individuals.
