Definitions
- textual information is displayed in the language specified by the country version. Along with this there is the possibility for the user to set the desired language as user language or operating language. If - for whatever reason - the language of the user interface is now changed, the user is faced with the problem of resetting the desired user language without being able to be guided to the relevant menu entry or control status by textual feedback.
- This problem is general and is not limited to the graphical user interface with keyboard or mouse input. On the contrary, there will be more and more end devices in the future that are operated purely acoustically. The problem also arises in call centers where purely acoustic operation is also carried out.
- the voice input takes place via voice recognition and the voice output either by playing prefabricated voice files or by automated speech synthesis in the form of a text-to-speech conversion.
- Procedure In general, there is the option of resetting the device to the factory language setting. This is usually done using a certain key combination. There are also devices where a voice menu can be easily activated by using the
- the object of the invention is to enable the selection of the user language of a device by means of a purely acoustic method.
- the selection option should also be available when the device cannot or should not provide support by means of a display.
- the invention allows the user language of a device to be set simply by speaking the user language to be set in order to select the user language.
- An Englishman says: "English”, a German simply says “German”, a Frenchman says “Frangais” and a Ukrainian says “Ukraj ins' kyj” (English transliteration of "Ukrainian” in Polish script).
- the device already has phoneme-based speech recognition, for example for other functionalities, it is advantageous to use this for setting the user language. There are three ways to do this.
- HMM Hidden Markov model
- speech recognition devices which models the phonemes of all languages.
- a standardized representation of a phonetic alphabet is particularly advantageous for this, for example in the form of SAMPA phonemes.
- a particularly clever option is to use only a single language-specific or country-specific HMM instead of a multilingual HMM or the combination of phoneme sequences from several language-specific HMMs, and model the names of the foreign user languages using the language-specific phoneme sentence.
- the following example for the German language serves as an explanation, based on the menu in Table 1.
- the word models are in "phonetic" notation:
- the device is in particular a mobile terminal in the form of a mobile or cordless telephone, a headset or the server of a call center.
- Figure 1 shows the process for setting the user language.
- the device can be implemented in the form of a cordless headset which is controlled exclusively by voice.
- This can be, for example, a headset that uses Bluetooth, Dect, GSM, UMTS, GAP or another
- Transmission standard with or without a cable connects to a base.
- the headset has an on / off button and a so-called "P2T button" ("push-to-talk") with which the audio channel is switched to the speech recognition means for a specific time window.
- Command control of the headset includes briefly pressing the P2T button, acknowledging the button press with a short beep and then speaking the desired command, after which the
- step 1 When the device is switched on for the first time (step 1) or after the device is reset (step 2), which is caused, for example, by a long press on the P2T key, the user is initially in the user language selection. This is communicated to the user by an acoustic signal (step 3), for example in a longer beep tone or a multilingual prompt to speak in to be set
- the user now speaks the name of the language to be set in the language to be set into the device (step 4).
- the speech recognition means of the device now recognize the name of the user language to be set spoken in the user language to be set, insofar as the user language to be set is one of the several user languages that can be set for the device.
- the user language setting means of the device then set the user language of the device to the user language recognized by the speech recognition means, as a result of which the device is initialized accordingly.
- the device can then be operated (step 6) as if it were switched on normally (step 5).
- Proven means and methods from the prior art can be used to correct speech recognition and operating errors.
- the common advantage of all embodiments of the invention is the significant simplification and shortening of the operation of the device. Furthermore, if a phoneme-based recognition is used, there is no need to store stored speech in the device. The fact that phoneme-based acoustic resources are already present in the device is optimally used.
