Embodiment Construction

[0021] Described below are examples of devices, systems, and methods for controlling two or more smart devices using voice commands, and more particularly, relate to a method for receiving voice input from a user to identify the A specific smart device and a control device for formatting voice input into a digital signal understandable by the specific smart device.

[0022] figure 1 Illustrates a system known in the art in which a dedicated remote is operated to control the functional operation of a first smart device of the same consumer brand as the dedicated remote, primarily through the use of voice commands, and is not intended to Communicate with or control a second smart device of a different consumer brand by using voice commands. This example shows two dedicated remotes, a Comcast-branded Xfinity Voice Remote 102 and an Apple-branded Siri Voice Remote 104, which are used to respectively operate an associated smart device, such as a Comcast-branded set-top box 108, by...

Abstract

A system and method for controlling a controllable appliance resident in an environment which includes a device adapted to receive speech input. The system and method establishes a noise threshold forthe environment in which the device is operating, receives at the device a speech input, determines a noise level for the environment at the time the speech input is received by the device, comparesthe determined noise level to the established noise threshold, and causes one or more commands to be automatically issued to the controllable device to thereby cause the controllable device to transition from a first volume level to a second volume level that is less than the first volume level when the determined noise level for the environment is greater than the established noise threshold forthe environment.

Description

[0001] Related application information [0002] This application claims the benefit of and is a continuation-in-part of US Application 15 / 647,947, filed July 12, 2017, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Background technique [0003] Dedicated remote controls capable of controlling the operation of consumer electronic devices for receiving voice input by using keys to activate a microphone are well known in the art, and typically each remote control is capable of controlling the operation of one type of consumer electronic device. This dedicated remote is intended primarily to control the functional operation of consumer electronic devices associated with a consumer brand name. For example, a dedicated Apple-branded Siri remote for Apple TV-branded video streamers can use voice input to control volume, play, pause, rewind, stop, etc., by using a proprietary communication protocol. These dedicated remotes typically only work with the associated ...
