Vehicle-based remote control system and method
First Claim
1. A remote control system of a vehicle, comprising:
- a first in-vehicle device configured to store a semi-generic user voice command in an application of the first in-vehicle device, wherein the semi-generic voice command is updated based on one or more spoken words; and
a second in-vehicle device comprising;
a user-input mechanism comprising at least one actuatable member, wherein the at least one actuatable member is configured to receive an input; and
a controller configured to in response to an input from the user-input mechanism via the at least one actuatable member, prompt the first in-vehicle device to access and transmit the semi-generic user voice command from the application to a server located remotely from the vehicle, and wherein the server processes the semi-generic user voice command, generates a command, and executes the command for an action specified by the semi-generic user voice command.

Abstract
A vehicle-based remote control system and method are provided herein. A first in-vehicle device and a second in-vehicle device are provided. The second in-vehicle device includes a user-input mechanism having at least one actuatable member, and a controller programmed to respond to input from the user-input mechanism. Upon actuation of the at least one actuatable member, the controller prompts the first in-vehicle device to transmit a pre-recorded user voice command assigned to the at least one actuatable member. The pre-recorded user voice command is transmitted to a server. The server processes the pre-recorded user voice command and generates a command for executing an action specified by the pre-recorded user voice command. The command is executed by one or more smart devices located remotely from a vehicle.

11. A remote control system of a vehicle, wherein the remote control system is in communication with a first in-vehicle device and comprising:
a second in-vehicle device comprising; a user-input mechanism having an at least one actuatable member; and a controller configured to; respond to an input from the user-input mechanism upon actuation of the at least one actuatable member; prompt the first in-vehicle device to transmit a pre-recorded user voice command assigned to the at least one actuatable member, wherein the pre-recorded user voice command includes a generic voice command recording provided by an application of the first in-vehicle device and stored on the first in-vehicle device, wherein the generic voice command is assigned to a remote device being controlled using the pre-recorded user voice command; and transmit the generic voice command recording to a server in communication with one or more smart devices located remotely from the vehicle and process the generic voice command recording under a user directive by the server. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A vehicle-based remote control method, wherein the vehicle-based remote control is in communication with a first in-vehicle device, comprising the method steps of:
-
providing a second in-vehicle device comprising a user-input mechanism coupled to a controller, the user-input mechanism including at least one actuatable member having a pre-recorded user voice command assigned thereto, wherein the pre-recorded user voice command includes a semi-generic voice command recording provided by an application of the first in-vehicle device stored on the first in-vehicle device; recording one or more words of the user and storing the one or more words of the user on the first in-vehicle device, wherein the one or more words of the pre-recorded user voice command identify a device controlled by the vehicle-based remote control; updating the semi-generic voice command based on the recording in the application; and transmitting the updated semi-generic voice command to a server for processing in response to an actuation of the at least one actuatable member. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
