A device includes a plurality of components, a memory having a keyword recognition module and a context recognition module, a microphone configured to receive an input speech spoken by a user, an analog-to-digital converter configured to convert the input speech from an analog form to a digital form and generate a digitized speech, and a processor. The processor is configured to detect, using the keyword recognition module, a keyword in the digitized speech, initiate, in response to detecting the keyword by the keyword recognition module, an action to be taken one of the plurality of components, wherein the keyword is associated with the action, determine, using the context recognition module, a context for the keyword, and execute the action if the context determined by the context recognition module indicates that the keyword is a command.

Speech-controlled actions based on keywords and context thereof

There is provided a system including a plurality of radio frequency (RF) tags, each corresponding to one of a plurality of individuals, a memory, and a processor configured to receive a signal from a first RF tag of the plurality of RF tags, the signal including a first tag identification (ID) uniquely identifying the first RF tag, follow a motion of the first RF tag, follow a motion of a first individual of the plurality of individuals, and determine a first likelihood that the first RF tag corresponds to the first individual based on the motion of the first RF tag and the motion of the first individual.
