Abstract: A first device is installed at a first location in a first space visible to a user. A second device is installed at a second location in a second space not visible to the user. A control method acquires line-of-sight information indicating a line-of-sight direction of the user from a camera. The line-of-sight direction of the user is determined based on the line-of-sight information. In a case where the line-of-sight direction indicates a third location other than the first location, a second dictionary corresponding to the second device is acquired from a plurality of dictionaries including a first dictionary corresponding to the first device and the second dictionary. Sound data indicating speech of the user is acquired from a microphone, a control command corresponding to the sound data is generated using the second dictionary, and the control command is transmitted to the second device.

Abstract: A voice-controlled shower system for use with a conventional shower assembly includes sources of hot and cold water, a showerhead, and a conduit for delivering water from the water sources to the showerhead. Each water source includes a control valve coupled to a control unit. The control unit is adapted to store electric impulses representative of a predetermined vocabulary of voice commands. The shower system further includes a receiver for receiving a speech input from a user and delivering corresponding electric impulses to the control unit. The electric impulses of the speech input are compared by the control unit to the electric impulses of the vocabulary of voice commands, the control unit actuating predetermined control valves upon recognizing a match so as to start or stop the water flow from the water sources to the showerhead or to adjust the water temperature. The shower system may also include a plurality of liquid containers, each container including a tube member with a control valve for selectably communicating a respective liquid with the water conduit. A respective container control valve is actuated upon a recognition of a speech input as matching an appropriate command of said vocabulary of voice commands.

Abstract: A footswitch apparatus for remotely controlling a surgical instrument. The footswitch apparatus preferably includes a base and a footpedal movably mounted to the base. The footpedal is movable within set upward and downward limits. In one mode of operation, the downward travel of the footpedal is resisted by different springs and different ranges of travel. The footpedal position is sensed and the operation of the surgical instrument is altered depending on which of the ranges the footpedal is in. This gives the operator constant tactile feedback as to which range of travel the footpedal is in. In addition, in a second mode of operation, the multiple springs are decoupled and only a single spring is experienced throughout the range of travel. This provides a flexibility so that the same footswitch apparatus can be used to operate a surgical instrument in a particular mode with linear control throughout the range of footpedal travel.
