Abstract
This invention is for a system and a process that will allow people to use a wireless phone or a wireline telephone to activate and control remote appliances using their spoken voice. The system is comprised of four operating networks: the speech activated control network, the caller'"'"'s network, the administrative network and the appliance network. A caller initially registers with the speech activated control network to provide voice sample, credit information and assigned PIN. Thereafter, a caller can call the system to selectively instruct the system to perform a specific function by one of the appliances within the appliance network, such as setting a particular appliance in motion or making a purchase from one of the preprogrammed appliances, including effecting secured payments for the transaction. The administrative network maintains data relating to the user as well as the individual remote appliances and the manufacturers of these appliances.
