Abstract
A method for controlling voice activation by a target keyword in a mobile device is disclosed. The method includes receiving an input sound stream. When the input sound stream indicates speech, the voice activation unit is activated to detect the target keyword and at least one sound feature is extracted from the input sound stream. Further, the method includes deactivating the voice activation unit when the at least one sound feature indicates a non-target keyword.
