Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for fetching speech processing models based on context changes in advance of speech requests using the speech processing models. An example local device configured to practice the method, having a local speech processor, and having access to remote speech models, detects a change in context. The change in context can be based on geographical location, language translation, speech in a different language, user language settings, installing or removing an app, and so forth. The local device can determine a speech processing model that is likely to be needed based on the change in context, and that is not stored on the local device. Independently of an explicit request to process speech, the local device can retrieve, from a remote server, the speech processing model for use on the mobile device.

System and method for managing models for embedded speech and language processing

An application program interface capable of routing commands received from external devices to the appropriate system application that is runtime configurable is disclosed. At runtime, the application program interface receives enrollment signals from external interface packages used to provide communications to the external devices and dynamically updates a first routing table. Additionally, at runtime, the application program interface receives enrollment signals from system application packages used to perform system commands and dynamically updates a second routing table. The routing tables are used to route command request and responses between the external interface and system application packages and thus, provides a communication interface between external devices and system application software. Since the routing tables are configured at runtime, the application program interface can be re-configured without re-compiling the software used to implement it. In addition, since the routing is performed without specific knowledge of the number and content of the command requests and responses, the application program interface provides communications between the external devices and system application software that is command independent.

Flexible runtime configurable application program interface (API) that is command independent and reusable

Methods for parsing and validating a command message produced by a network element in a network utilizes table-drive approach. The messages are parsed by a parsing engine in object code stored at the network element and which operatively breaks down each of the messages into its constituent parameters. As each parameter is parsed, it is compared to a set of allowed values in object code stored in tables at the network element. Each validated parameter is entered into a data structure so that a valid message is populated. The methods allow for quick parsing and validation of existing messages and simple updating of the tables to allow for validation of new messages.
