Abstract:
A barrier operator system, such as a garage door operator system, includes one or more remote control units, such as an inside remote control unit, an external wall mounted remote control unit and portable vehicle disposed remote control units which include speech recognition modules for recognizing spoken command signals to open or close a garage door or energize or de-energize lighting associated with the garage. The speech recognition modules are operably connected to interface or microcontroller circuits for operating a radio frequency transmitter for sending signals to operate lighting, and/or the barrier operator to move a barrier between open and closed positions, and possibly perform other functions.
Abstract:
A remote controller includes a microphone, a data transmitter which transmits data corresponding to a button, and a voice transmitter which transmits voice input acquired from the microphone. The voice transmitter transmits voice based on the press of a predetermined button, and the data transmitter transmits data. An electronic device includes a voice receiver, data receiver, and processor. The processor acquires data from the data receiver. The processor determines based on data whether the voice receiver has received voice, and acquires the voice.
Abstract:
A mobile device and method are provided. The mobile device includes an input unit that receives a user voice command, a keyword extracting unit that extracts at least one keyword from the user voice command, a search unit that searches Electronic Program Guide (EPG) data for broadcast information related to the at least one keyword, and a generating unit that generates a broadcast control signal corresponding to the broadcast information related to the at least one keyword.
Abstract:
A remote wireless device is provided that operates a user interface specific to a particular target application or device. The wireless device receives information regarding the status or operation of the target's application, and uses that information to determine what information and controls to present to the remote user. The remote user views information regarding the target application, and makes desired control selections using the available controls. The wireless device generates a message according to the control selections, and transmits the message to the target device. The target device acts responsive to the control message, and updated operational information may be sent to the remote wireless device.
Abstract:
A multi-functional presenter includes a case, a control unit in the case, an operating unit on the case and connected to the control unit, a pointer unit connected to the control unit, a bidirectional wireless communication unit connected to the control unit and linked with an external electronic device, a voice receiving unit connected to the control unit for receiving voice signals, a reminding unit connected to the control unit for receiving a warning signal from the external electronic device and giving a reminder to a user, and a power supply unit connected to the control unit. With the voice receiving unit and the bidirectional wireless communication unit, the multi-functional presenter performs not only the functions of paging up/down, pointing images, giving the user a reminder, etc., but also enables on-site voice recording and storing the recorded voice signals on the external electronic device.
Abstract:
A universal remote control interacts with a user to assist in training to one or more appliances. If the appliance is activated by a rolling code activation signal, a sequence of different rolling code activation signals is transmitted until the user indicates a successful transmission. If the appliance is activated by a fixed code activation signal, a fixed code word is used to generate and transmit each of a sequence of different fixed code activation signals until the user indicates a successful transmission. At least one of the sequences of activation signals inserts a preset amount of time after each activation signal transmission. If user input is not received within the preset amount of time, the next activation signal in the sequence is transmitted.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method of remotely controlling target devices via an interface device, based on an input from a user comprising information identifying at least one target device and an action to be performed on said at least one target device, wherein the interface device is adapted for directly transmitting a control signal based on said input in a direction towards said least one of said target device, wherein the transmission direction is controllable using setup data stored at said interface device, wherein the setup data is obtained during setup phase of the interface device and comprises: identification data for uniquely identifying said target devices, and direction data associated to each of said identification data for identifying said transmission direction, wherein based on the user's input to perform said action on said at least one target device, using the direction data associated to the identification data of said at least one target device for controlling the transmission direction towards said at least one target device.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed toward a system and process that controls a group of networked electronic components using a multimodal integration scheme in which inputs from a speech recognition subsystem, gesture recognition subsystem employing a wireless pointing device and pointing analysis subsystem also employing the pointing device, are combined to determine what component a user wants to control and what control action is desired. In this multimodal integration scheme, the desired action concerning an electronic component is decomposed into a command and a referent pair. The referent can be identified using the pointing device to identify the component by pointing at the component or an object associated with it, by using speech recognition, or both. The command may be specified by pressing a button on the pointing device, by a gesture performed with the pointing device, by a speech recognition event, or by any combination of these inputs.
