Abstract:
A method for controlling an electrical appliance, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The control method comprises: receiving a voice control instruction (S101); when the identity of a user who issued the voice control instruction is determined to be a child, acquiring a child knowledge graph (S102); when determined that a control object is a first electrical appliance, determining whether a knowledge expression corresponding to the first electrical appliance exists in the child knowledge graph (S103); if a knowledge expression corresponding to the first electrical appliance doesn't exist in the child knowledge graph, then not responding to the voice control instruction; otherwise, carrying out processing on the voice control instruction according to the knowledge expression corresponding to the first electrical appliance in the child knowledge graph (S104).
Abstract:
This relates to systems and processes for using a virtual assistant to control electronic devices. In one example process, a user can speak an input in natural language form to a user device to control one or more electronic devices. The user device can transmit the user speech to a server to be converted into a textual representation. The server can identify the one or more electronic devices and appropriate commands to be performed by the one or more electronic devices based on the textual representation. The identified one or more devices and commands to be performed can be transmitted back to the user device, which can forward the commands to the appropriate one or more electronic devices for execution. In response to receiving the commands, the one or more electronic devices can perform the commands and transmit their current states to the user device.
Abstract:
A remotely programmable infusion system. The remotely programmable infusion system comprises a memory for storing a programmable protocol and a remote communication port for sending a voice signal to a remote touch-tone transceiver and for receiving a remote programming signal from the remote touch-tone transceiver. The remotely programmable infusion system also comprises a voice storage unit for storing the voice signal. The remotely programmable infusion system further comprises a processor, coupled to the remote communication port, to the voice storage unit, and to the memory, for accessing the voice signal from the voice storage unit and the programmable protocol from the memory, and for processing the programmable protocol in response to receiving the remote programming signal.
Abstract:
A remote command system is provided for controlling a device, for example a device or machine used in a manufacturing process. The system may include one headset with a microphone or a plurality of wireless headsets each having a microphone and configured to receive voice sounds from a user and a transmission unit configured to transmit voice signals in response to the voice sounds. A controller interface unit may be configured to receive the voice signals from the wireless headsets and to transmit control signals, where the controller interface is further configured to be trained to receive and interpret voice signals having personal characteristics of a user. A processor module is configured to receive the control signals from the controller interface unit to operate the device or machine.
Abstract:
Parameterisation, operational checking or data smayning are signifimayt operating steps in process automation. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention a field device for process automation is stated, which field device comprises a detector for detecting acoustic signals. Thus parameterisation, operational checking or data smayning in an acoustic way is provided. Data transmission does not necessitate any recesses, drill holes or windows in the housing of the field device.

Abstract:
A control system including a portable device and a server. The portable device includes: (1) a body; (2) a microphone for receiving a first audio data; (3) an audio coder for converting the first audio data to first audio data signals; (4) an optical sensor for reading a first optical data; (5) an optical coder for converting the first optical data to first optical data signals; and (6) a transmitter for transmitting at least the first audio data signals or the first optical data signals to the server. The server includes: (1) a communication device for receiving at least first audio data signals or the first optical data signals transmitted by the transmitter; (2) a data analyzer for extracting semantic information from the first audio data signal and for converting the semantic information into an audio command; (3) an optical analyzer for converting the first optical data to an optical command; (4) a memory device for storing programs to be performed; and (5) a CPU for receiving the audio command and the optical command, retrieving a program associated with the audio command or the optical command and for executing the retrieved program.
Abstract:
An electrical home appliance (14) such as a dishwasher, a clothes dryer, a washing machine, a lighting arrangement, a heating system control or the like, which, via an interface arranged on or in the home appliance, can be connected to a bus system supplied to several home appliances and controlled by a single central control computer (17), with the interface being connected to a bus connection module for transmitting control commands and/or sensor signals between the bus system and the home appliance (14). The home appliance (14) additionally is provided with a plug-in position (18) for the detachable plugging in of the control computer (17). A contact configuration (19) establishing the connection between the plugged-in control computer (17) and the interface is arranged at the plug-in position (18). A great flexibility is accomplished since the control computer (17) can also be plugged in at the plug-in positions of other home appliances connected to the bus system. By changing the plug-in location of the control computer (17), the entire system can be controlled from different points. The control computer does not require a special location but is integrated into one of the home appliances when it is plugged in.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for speech recognition control of apparel manufacture equipment, such as a sewing machine, is provided. This invention allows an operator to control specific operational modes of the apparel manufacture equipment through verbal commands recognized by the equipment as distinct from other sounds in the environment of the equipment. The invention includes a device for recognizing and translating an operator's verbal command into an electronic control signal; a communication device such as a microphone for inputting the operator's verbal command into the recognizing and translating device; and interfacing means for presenting the electronic control signal to the apparel manufacture equipment in a form recognized and accepted by the equipment. The method for voice control of apparel manufacture equipment according to the present invention comprises the steps of receiving an operator's verbal command through, for instance, a microphone; recognizing and translating the verbal command into an electronic control signal; and routing this electronic control signal to the apparel manufacture equipment in a form recognized by and actable upon by the equipment.
Abstract:
A speaker independent conversational voice command control system is provided which is useful in connection with home appliances which operate within a range of selectable parameters, such as an automatic clothes dryer. The control system recognizes voice commands and emits synthesized speech sounds, in an interaction with a user, to obtain the input necessary for setting the operating parameters.
