Abstract: This disclosure provides a voice-operated remote control intended to replace multiple entertainment system remotes, and it preferably includes two parts, a base unit and a remote (or table-top) unit. During normal operation, the base unit receives each electronic speaker driver signal from a stereo receiver or other sound source and uses speaker-specific transfer functions to generate an “audio mimic signal” which accounts for room acoustics and circuitry distortions. This signal is then subtracted from detected sound and a residual is used to detect spoken commands. In response to spoken commands, learned IR commands are transmitted by the base unit to the remote unit, which then repeats these commands, directing them toward the appropriate entertainment system. Learning of room acoustics and of IR and spoken commands are each performed in discrete modes. During a speaker learning mode, the base unit causes each speaker in turn to generate a test pattern which is measured via microphone and used to develop a speaker-specific transfer function. During a command learning mode, a user speaks each command (e.g., “TV on,” “Tape Off,” “louder,” etc) several times into the remote unit until that spoken command is “learned” and recognizable.

Abstract translation: 该公开提供了用于替换多个娱乐系统遥控器的语音操作遥控器，并且其优选地包括两个部件，即基本单元和远程（或桌面）单元。 在正常操作期间，基本单元从立体声接收器或其他声源接收每个电子扬声器驱动器信号，并使用特定于扬声器的传递函数来产生考虑室内声学和电路失真的“音频模拟信号”。 然后从检测到的声音中减去该信号，并使用残差来检测口头命令。 响应于口语命令，学习的IR命令由基本单元发送到远程单元，然后重复这些命令，将它们指向适当的娱乐系统。 室内声学和IR和口语命令的学习都以离散模式进行。 在扬声器学习模式期间，基本单元使得每个扬声器依次产生通过麦克风测量的测试图案，并用于开发特定于扬声器的传递功能。 在命令学习模式期间，用户将多个命令（例如，“打开电视”，“磁带关闭”，“更响亮”等）多次进入远程单元，直到该语音命令被“学习”并且可识别为止。

Abstract: A voice-signal/remote-control-pulse converter (30) receives a voice signal (S) by means of infrared rays (RV) from a remote control transmitter, and then performs voice recognition. An item of control information indicated by a recognized word (W) is converted into a control code (C) in the same format as that of a control code indicated by a remote control signal (RK). The control codes are entered into a remote control pulse selector (23) as respective remote control pulses P1 and P2 in the common format. The remote control pulse selector (23) enters exclusively one of the remote control pulses P1 and P2 into a remote control pulse decoder (24) in response to a remote-control-pulse switching signal (N).

Abstract: A remote control system, particularly for remotely controlling industrial equipment, has a sensor that detects the operator's safety-relevant medical data and transmits them as a control signal to a control circuit in a transmitter or receiver. The control circuit triggers a predefinable control sequence when the value of the control signal exceeds or falls below at least one predefinable value. A malfunction, especially of the “human component” of the total system, can be reliably detected as soon as it becomes safety relevant, i.e., as soon as there is a danger that the operator might no longer be able to control the industrial equipment properly and reliably with the remote control system.

Abstract: A remote control system is provided for translating an utterance of an operator to a control parameter of an electronic device. A remote control of the system includes an audio input for receiving the utterance. A transmitter of the remote control is operably linked to the audio input for providing a transmission signal corresponding to the utterance. A relay station is responsive to the transmission signal. The relay station includes a receiver for recovering the utterance from the transmission signal and a speech recognition module for translating the utterance of the operator into the control parameter. In this way, the control parameter is provided to an electronic device enabling hands-free remote control of the electronic device.
