Latest Patents
One of Mekuria's latest patents is a method and system for voice dialing. In this invention, the speech recognition system of a mobile telephone organizes words in a trellis structure. This arrangement allows the system to search only a limited part of the entire vocabulary at any given moment. Consequently, it addresses the challenge of searching through numerous words simultaneously, which can be time-consuming and computationally intensive. This innovation significantly increases the accuracy of speech recognition systems.
Another notable patent is for a mobile terminal equipped with a text-to-speech (TTS) converter. This mobile terminal receives text messages over an RF channel and converts them into audible form. By leveraging the reduced bandwidth required for transmitting text messages, this invention provides audible messages to subscribers using mobile terminals. In an exemplary embodiment, the mobile terminal operates within a GSM communication system and receives text messages defined under the short message service (SMS) protocol. The TTS converter can also output text menus of the mobile terminal's interface in speech format.
