Voice-controlled security system with smart controller
First Claim
1. A control system for permitting voice control of at least one device by at least a first user, the system comprising:
- a transponder unit for outputting an electronic signal including an identification code;
an electronic receiver for receiving said electronic signal and downconverting said received signal to output said identification code;
a microphone for receiving a first audible signal spoken by said first user, said first audible signal being specific to said first user and corresponding to at least one function of said at least one device;
a memory for storing at least one voiceprint and a command instruction for controlling said at least one function of said at least one device;
a microprocessor for determining whether said identification code is valid and, if said identification code is valid, for analyzing said first audible signal to determine whether it matches said at least one voiceprint stored in memory; and
said microprocessor further operative to sense an existing status of a selected function of said at least one device and, if a match is found, to respond to said command instruction based upon the existing status of the selected function.

Abstract
A control system for permitting voice control of at least one device by at least one user includes a transponder which outputs an electronic signal which includes an identification code; an electronic receiver for receiving said electronic signal and downconverting said received signal to output the identification code; a microphone for receiving an audible signal spoken by a user; a memory for storing at least one voiceprint and a command instruction for controlling at least one function of the device; and a microprocessor for determining whether the identification code is valid and for analyzing the audible signal to determine whether it matches the voiceprint stored in memory. The microprocessor executes the command instruction to control the function of the device if a match has been found.

18. A control system for permitting voice control of at least one device by at least a first user, the system comprising:
-
a microphone for receiving a first audible signal spoken by said first user, said first audible signal being specific to said first user and corresponding to at least one function of said at least one device;
a radio transponder unit for receiving said first audible signal and for outputting an RF signal including an identification code and said first audible signal;
an electronic receiver for receiving said RF signal and downconverting said received signal to output said identification code and said first audible signal;
a memory for storing at least one voiceprint of said first user and an associated command instruction for controlling said at least one function of said at least one device;
a microprocessor for determining whether said identification code is valid and, if said identification code is valid for analyzing said first audible signal to determine whether it matches said at least one voiceprint stored in said memory; and
said microprocessor further operative, if a match is found, to generate a voice response to said command instruction in one of a plurality of pre-determined voice personalities.

19. A vehicle, comprising:
-
at least one device affecting the operation of said vehicle;
a control system for permitting voice control of said at least one device, said control system comprising a transponder unit for outputting a signal including an identification code;
a receiver for receiving said signal and downconverting said received signal to output said identification code;
a microphone for receiving a first audible signal spoken by said first user, said first audible signal being specific to said first user and corresponding to at least one function of said at least one device;
a memory for storing at least one voiceprint and a command instruction for controlling said at least one function of said at least one device;
a microprocessor for determining whether said identification code is valid and, if said identification code is valid, for analyzing said first audible signal to determine whether it matches said at least one voiceprint stored in memory; and
said microprocessor further operative, if a match is found, to identify a master transponder and communicate with said master transponder regarding said command instruction. - View Dependent Claims (20)
