Filed:

Oct 24, 1984

Appl. No.:

6/664157

Inventors:

Lawrence D. Miller - Redmond WA
Robert J. Owen - Mercer Island WA
Richard M. Kiltz - Maple Valley WA

Assignee:

Sundstrand Data Control, Inc. - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G11B 502
G06F 1574

US Classification:

364424

Abstract:

Disclosed is a combined flight data recorder data aquisition circuitry (10) and airborne integrated data circuitry (12) that can be variously packaged to supplement and update existing aircraft systems or serve as a standalone flight data recording and/or airborne integrated data system. The flight data recorder system circuitry (10) and airborne integrated data system circuitry (12) are separately programmed microprocessor based systems that are capable of processing aircraft parametric signals provided by a variety of aircraft signal sources. In the disclosed arrangement, the airborne integrated data system circuitry (12) is arranged and programmed to automatically monitor engine start and shutdown procedures, aircraft takeoff and cruise and to provide a landing report that indicates fuel consumption and landing weight. To minimize memory storage requirements and provide readily available engine condition information, the automatic monitoring consists of a single set of signals for each monitored condition and the information is converted to standard engineering units. Monitoring of selected parametric signals to detect excessive levels also is provided.

International Classification:

G10L 15/22
G10L 15/08
G10L 25/78

Abstract:

Techniques for enabling a device to send to a speech processing server further input audio data following a completed utterance dialog to prevent the need for subsequent keywords to be spoken to invoke subsequent commands are described. A system receives input audio data corresponding to an utterance from a device upon the device detecting speech corresponding to a keyword. The system performs speech processing on the input audio data to determine a command. The system determines output data responsive to the command and sends same to the device, thus completing operations regarding the utterance. The system may also send an instruction to the device to: send to the system further input audio data corresponding to further input audio without the device first detecting a wake command.

International Classification:

G10L 21/06

US Classification:

704275

Abstract:

Techniques for receiving a voice command from a user and, in response, providing audible content to the user using a first device and providing visual content for the user using a second device. In some instances, the first device includes a microphone for generating audio signals that include user speech, as well as a speaker for outputting audible content in response to identified voice commands from the speech. However, the first device might not include a display for displaying graphical content. As such, the first device may be configured to identify devices that include displays and that are proximate to the first device. The first device may then instruct one or more of these other devices to output visual content associated with a user's voice command.
