Method and system for a recognition system having a verification recognition system
View Patent ↗A method and system for performing computer implemented recognition. In one method embodiment, the present invention first accesses user input stored in a memory of a mobile device. On the mobile device, the present invention performs a coarse recognition process on the user input to generate a coarse result. The coarse process may operate in real-time. The embodiment then displays a portion of the coarse result on a display screen of the mobile device. The embodiment further performs a detailed recognition process on the user input to generate a detailed result. The detailed process has more recognition patterns and computing resources available to it. The present embodiment performs a comparison of the detailed result and the coarse result. The present embodiment displays a portion of the comparison on the display screen.
1. A method of performing computer implemented recognition comprising:
a) accessing user input to be recognized;
b) on a mobile device, performing a coarse recognition process on said user input to generate a coarse result;
c) displaying a portion of said coarse result on a display screen of said mobile device;
d) performing a detailed recognition process on said user input to generate a detailed result;
e) performing a comparison of said detailed result and said coarse result; and
f) displaying a portion of said comparison on said display screen.
2. A method as described in claim 1 , wherein said detailed recognition process is performed on another computing system separate from said mobile device.
3. A method as described in claim 2 further comprising:
transferring said user input from said mobile device to said another computing system; and
transferring said detailed result from said another computing system to said mobile device.
4. A method as described in claim 3 further comprising:
transferring said coarse result to said another computing system in conjunction with said user input.
5. A method as described in claim 3 , wherein said transferring is performed wirelessly over a wireless communications channel.
6. A method as described in claim 1 , wherein said detailed recognition process is performed on said mobile device.
7. A method as described in claim 1 , wherein said detailed recognition process is performed during background processing of said mobile device.
8. A method as described in claim 1 , wherein said user input is speech data and wherein said coarse and said detailed recognition processes are speech recognition processes.
9. A method as described in claim 1 , wherein said user input is handwriting data and wherein said coarse and said detailed recognition processes are handwriting recognition processes.
10. A method as described in claim 1 , wherein said user input is image data and wherein said coarse and said detailed recognition processes are image recognition processes.
11. A method as described in claim 1 , wherein said coarse recognition process is constrained by time and computing resources.
12. A recognition system comprising:
a mobile device accessing user input and performing a coarse recognition process thereon; and
a data link between said mobile device and another computing system;
wherein said another computing system is for receiving said user input from said mobile device and for performing a detailed recognition process thereon to return a detailed result to said mobile device.
13. The system as recited in claim 12 , wherein said coarse recognition process is constrained with regard to allowable response time.
14. The system as recited in claim 12 , wherein a result of said coarse recognition process is displayed upon a display screen of said mobile device.
15. The system as recited in claim 12 , wherein said data link is wireless.
16. The system as recited in claim 12 , wherein said data link is wired.
17. The system as recited in claim 12 , wherein said another computing system is not constrained by response time.
18. The system as recited in claim 12 , wherein said another computing system also receives a portion of the result of said coarse recognition process.
19. The system as recited in claim 12 , wherein a comparison of said detailed result and result of said coarse recognition process is performed and a portion of said comparison is displayed on a display device of said mobile device.
20. A recognition system comprising:
a mobile device accessing user input and performing a coarse recognition process thereon; and
a background recognition process performed on said mobile device, wherein said background recognition process performs a detailed recognition process on said user input, said background recognition process returning a detailed result to a foreground application of said mobile device.
