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.

Abstract: A remote control transmitter and a controlled apparatus that are paired by a pairing process that remotely controls the controlled apparatus. The operator initially uses the remote control transmitter to control the controlled apparatus so that it performs a specified operation, the remote control transmitter transmits RF packet data that contains a master ID, control data, and a status code that indicates a pairing start via an RF signal, and the controlled apparatus that receives this RF signal transmits RF packet data that contains a slave ID, the master ID, and a status code that indicates pairing ACK back to the remote control transmitter via an RF signal. The controlled apparatus further performs an operation based on the control data included in the transmitted RF packet data.
