US Patent 7366672 Method and device for recovering interrupted voice input

A method for recovering interrupted voice input, particularly voice input into communication, audio and/or navigation systems installed in a vehicle detects, during an ongoing voice input process, an event that requires interruption of the voice input process, stores an incomplete sequence of the voice input, and interrupts the voice input process in response to detection of the event. The method can further detect that the event has finished and can recover the voice input process based on the stored sequence. A corresponding device is also described.
