Modifying spoken commands

Abstract

A method includes obtaining, at a first conference endpoint device, spoken command data representing a spoken command detected by the first conference endpoint device during a teleconference between the first conference endpoint device and a second conference endpoint device. The method further includes generating modified spoken command data by inserting a spoken phrase into the spoken command. The method further includes transmitting the modified spoken command data to a natural language service.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 obtaining, at a first conference endpoint device, spoken command data representing a spoken command detected by the first conference endpoint device during a teleconference between the first conference endpoint device and a second conference endpoint device;   generating modified spoken command data by inserting a spoken phrase into the spoken command; and   transmitting the modified spoken command data to a natural language service.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the spoken phrase corresponds to a wake-up phrase associated with the natural language service. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein generating the modified spoken command data further includes removing a second wake-up phrase from the spoken command, the second wake-up phrase associated with a second natural language service. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 generating additional modified spoken command data by inserting an additional spoken phrase into the spoken command; and   transmitting the additional modified spoken command data to an additional natural language service.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 receiving first response data from the natural language service;   receiving second response data from the additional natural language service; and   in response to the first response data indicating an error, outputting audio based on the second response data.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 receiving first response data from the natural language service;   receiving second response data from the additional natural language service; and   outputting audio based on the first response data and the second response data.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the spoken phrase corresponds to a third party command phrase, and wherein the natural language service is configured to transmit data to a third party service responsive to the third party command phrase. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising transmitting the spoken command data to the natural language service. 
     
     
         9 . A computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
 obtaining, at a first conference endpoint device, spoken command data representing a spoken command detected by the first conference endpoint device during a teleconference between the first conference endpoint device and a second conference endpoint device;   generating modified spoken command data by inserting a spoken phrase into the spoken command; and   transmitting the modified spoken command data to a natural language service.   
     
     
         10 . The computer readable storage medium of  claim 9 , wherein the spoken phrase corresponds to a wake-up phrase associated with the natural language service. 
     
     
         11 . The computer readable storage medium of  claim 10 , wherein generating the modified spoken command data further includes removing a second wake-up phrase from the spoken command, the second wake-up phrase associated with a second natural language service. 
     
     
         12 . The computer readable storage medium of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 generating additional modified spoken command data by inserting an additional spoken phrase into the spoken command; and   transmitting the additional modified spoken command data to an additional natural language service.   
     
     
         13 . The computer readable storage medium of  claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 receiving first response data from the natural language service;   receiving second response data from the additional natural language service; and   in response to the first response data indicating an error, outputting audio based on the second response data.   
     
     
         14 . The computer readable storage medium of  claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 receiving first response data from the natural language service;   receiving second response data from the additional natural language service; and   outputting audio based on the first response data and the second response data.   
     
     
         15 . The computer readable storage medium of  claim 9 , wherein the spoken phrase corresponds to a third party command phrase, and wherein the natural language service is configured to transmit data to a third party service responsive to the third party command phrase. 
     
     
         16 . The computer readable storage medium of  claim 9 , wherein the operations further include transmitting the spoken command data to the natural language service. 
     
     
         17 . An apparatus comprising:
 one or more processors; and   a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
 obtaining, at a first conference endpoint device, spoken command data representing a spoken command detected by the first conference endpoint device during a teleconference between the first conference endpoint device and a second conference endpoint device; 
 generating modified spoken command data by inserting a spoken phrase into the spoken command; and 
 transmitting the modified spoken command data to a natural language service. 
   
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein the spoken phrase corresponds to a wake-up phrase associated with the natural language service. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 18 , wherein generating the modified spoken command data further includes removing a second wake-up phrase from the spoken command, the second wake-up phrase associated with a second natural language service. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 generating additional modified spoken command data by inserting an additional spoken phrase into the spoken command; and   transmitting the additional modified spoken command data to an additional natural language service.
