Doesn't take a genius to work out where the big G is headed with this, but here's the description of the patent anyway.
It's a system that "provides search results from a voice search query". Simple enough.
We start losing it when the description turns to "recognition hypotheses" and "weighted boolean queries". We're a bear of little brain, but does this mean you could emphasise particular words to make them more important in your searches? Someone help us out here.
Mansized ponders variations of the words Aria, Giovanni and bikini before nipping off down the patent office...
