Latest Patents

Jung is associated with 1 patent: “Electronic Device and Control Method Thereof.” The invention describes a device with a microphone, memory storing a wake-up word detection model, and a processor that analyzes incoming sound. The model assigns probability scores to sections of the sound signal to estimate whether they contain a wake-up word. The processor identifies a section whose score exceeds a threshold and lowers that threshold when it detects a predetermined acoustic signal.

Career Highlights

Jung’s patent reflects work on voice-activated electronic devices and the processing methods that help them recognize wake-up words. The approach uses probability scores and an adjustable threshold to guide detection.

Collaborations

Jung’s listed coworkers include Changwoo Han and Jonguk Yoo. The patent information provided does not specify whether they collaborated with him on this invention.

Conclusion

Youngmoon Jung’s patent describes a wake-up word detection method that adjusts its threshold in response to an acoustic signal, contributing to voice-interaction technology in electronic devices.
