          Application 09/740,277                                                      

                                      Invention                                       
               Appellants’ invention relates to a method and system for               
          activating speech recognition in a user terminal.  Appellants’              
          specification at page 2, lines 3-4.                                         
               Claim 1 is representative of the claimed invention and is              
          reproduced as follows:                                                      
               1.  A method for activating speech recognition in a                    
          terminal, comprising the steps of:                                          
               (a) detecting an event at the terminal;                                
               (b) performing a first command in response to the event of             
          step (a);                                                                   
               (c) automatically activating speech recognition at the                 
          terminal in response to said step (a);                                      
               (d) determining whether a second command is received by one            
          of the speech recognition and a primary input of the terminal               
          during a speech recognition time period commenced upon a                    
          completion of said step (b);                                                
               (e) deactivating the speech recognition at the terminal if             
          it is determined that the second command is not received by the             
          one of the speech recognition and a primary input of the terminal           
          in said step (d) during the speech recognition time period;                 
               (f) determining whether the second command is received by              
          the primary input after step (e); and                                       
               (g) performing the second command received in one of said              
          steps (d) and (f).
