Abstract
To effectively resolve the issue of inappropriate handovers during communication sessions, methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums which utilize speech features captured by microphones in the original wireless peripheral device and/or the wireless peripheral device to which the communication session is to be handed over to determine if a handover should proceed or should be reversed. Speech features refer to the composite attributes of spoken language that encompass both acoustic and linguistic features. Acoustic features characterize the sound properties of speech and include, but are not limited to, timbre, pitch, intonation, speaking rate, articulation, prosody, melody, spectral features, formant frequencies, and the like. Linguistic features pertain to the actual content conveyed, comprising words, phrases, syntax, and semantics. This includes the analysis of words, phrases, syntax, and semantics to understand the context and continuity of the conversation.
