Abstract

See full text

The disclosed embodiments relate to the design of a system that uses an accelerometer in a mobile device to detect hotwords, which activate a voice interface to recognize subsequent voice input. During operation, the system gathers samples comprising readings from the accelerometer in the mobile device. Next, the system calculates features from the gathered samples. The system then classifies the calculated features using a classifier, which has been trained to detect hotwords based on calculated features. Finally, if the classifier detects one or more hotwords, the system causes the mobile device to launch a voice-control system that recognizes subsequent voice input received from an audio microphone.
