CENTRALIZED VOICE RECOGNITION UNIT FOR WIRELESS CONTROL OF PERSONAL MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICES
First Claim
1. A system for controlling the operation of a first personal mobile electronic device disposed proximate to a user and adapted to receive commands in accordance with a first command set and for controlling the operation of a second personal mobile electronic device disposed proximate to the user and adapted to receive commands in accordance with a second command set, the first and second personal mobile electronic devices being capable of operating independent of a control module, the system comprising:
- a microphone to generate a voice signal responsive to a voice command spoken by the user; and
a wearable command module comprising;
a voice recognition unit in communication with the microphone, the voice recognition unit generating command data from the first and second command sets in response to the voice signal; and
a wireless data transmitter in electrical communication with the voice recognition unit and transmitting the command data from the first and second command sets encoded according to a wireless protocol to control an operation of the first and second personal mobile electronic devices, respectively.

Abstract
Described are a method and system for controlling the operation of personal mobile electronic devices disposed about a user. Each device is adapted to receive command according to a common wireless protocol. A voice signal is generated in response to a voice command spoken by the user. Command data are generated for one of the devices in response to the voice signal. The command data are transmitted through a wireless link to the respective device to control an operation of the device. There is no need for each device to have independent voice recognition capability. Instead, the burden of voice recognition is managed by the wearable command module that communicates with all the controlled devices through wireless links.
