Abstract

Method, apparatus, and computer-readable media for touch and speech interface, with audio location, includes structure and/or function whereby at least one processor: (i) receives a touch input from a touch device; (ii) establishes a touch-speech time window; (iii) receives a speech input from a speech device; (iii) determines whether the speech input is present in a global dictionary; (iv) determines a location of a sound source from the speech device; (v) determines whether the touch input and the location of the speech input are both within a same region; (vi) if the speech input is in the dictionary, determines whether the speech input has been received within the window; and (vii) if the speech input has been received within the window, and the touch input and the speech input are both within the same region, activates an action corresponding to both the touch input and the speech input.
