How does Siri hear me say “Hey Siri” if it’s not constantly listening to my conversation or me speaking?
In: Technology
You know how phones use all these technical big jargon words like “Octo-core Processing”?
Well imagine those “core” being brains and “octo” means 8. So it’s like 8 brains working on that phone.
So when you tell it to do something, you have the power of 8 people working on it (8 is better than 1 amiright?)
But imagine the 8 having different inteligence. You got a couple of smart ones, and one not so smart.
So instead of having 8 people listening whether you say “Hey Siri” they choose the dumbest/slowest person out of the 8 and told em that their job is to listen for the word “Hey Siri” and if they hear it, they would wake the other 7 up (cause the other ones are sleeping) so that the 7 would know what to do when you instruct it to…”Play Coldplay” or something.
.
Tldr; they have a low powered processing where it’s job is just to listen to the word “Hey Siri” and once it hears it, it turns on everything else. If everything else is constantly listening, then your battery would die faster and that’ll make you a battery murderer.
