To detect events in an audio stream, frames of an audio signal (e.g., frames generated by a codec for a voice call or music stream) are received. Based on information in the frames, an index is used to look up an entry in a table associated with the codec. Each entry in the table indicates a likelihood that a frame matches a sound model element. The likelihood is used in the search for a sound bite, word, and/or phrase in the audio signal. The process of dynamic programming is used to find the combined likelihood for a match of the word, phrase, and/or sound bite to a region of the audio stream. Upon detection of the word, phrase, and/or sound bite in the audio stream, an event is generated, such as, notifying a person or logging the event in a database.

Audio search using codec frames

Apparatus for analyzing non-deterministic results of a search query of data, comprising a processor and a user interface, the processor being operably in communication with a plurality of data sources and adapted to communicate with the user interface which enables the user to query the content of the data sources, wherein the processor is adapted to determine the probable relevance of at least the part of a searched data source for a user query and the user interface is adapted to present to the user the search results in a form comprising two or more portlets, wherein the portlets comprises two or more of: a portlet presenting the search results (such as search strings) for a data source(s); a portlet presenting the data source (such as by source name) of a data source(s); a portlet presenting a data source filter tree for selecting currently active source(s); a portlet presenting the hit(s) of a search query for a data source; a portlet presenting the hit location within a data source; and at least one of the portlets presents the user with the probability of the relevance of the data source to the search query.
