Zusammenfassung
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partitioning speech recognition rules for generation of a current language model and interpretation in a speech recognition system. Contexts for each of speech recognition rules are determined when each of the speech rules will be active. At one interval (e.g. initialization of the system), common contexts for the speech rules are determined and grouped or partitioned into speech rule sets according to these common contexts. Rapid and efficient generation of a language model upon the detection of a current context at a second interval (e.g. upon the detection of speech in one embodiment) then may be performed. Subsequent to the generation of the language model, interpretation may be performed using the speech recognition rules grouped into these common contexts.

Is it possible that this has something to do with Monday's announcement ?

No correlation what-so-ever with Monday. Patent law is patent law, so laws on the UK books should be pretty similar to stuff here. If this patent was just granted then Apple is probably in development of something. If its applied for then Apple has a project concept in mind. Either way patents are applied for far in advance of any release of a product. For anything to be announced on Monday the patents had to be inplace not only in the UK, but in the US and any other countries that Apple sells to just to make sure there are no infringement cases. Dont get too excited its just one patent and any product would have to go through a few of them so all variations of the technology are protected.

Maybe in a couple years, but this case means nothing for the near future.

I like your signature text... first few sentences in Ciwil War by Guns N'Roses... a long time favorite of mine... it was from some movie, right?
