Control of plurality of target systems
First Claim
1. A method for controlling or operating a plurality of target systems via spoken commands, the method comprising:
- assigning interface information to one or more target systems in the plurality of target systems;
transmitting the interface information from a first target system in the one or more target systems to a speech recognition system;
checking the first target system into the speech recognition system using the interface information, unless the interface information is stored on the speech recognition system;
analyzing the interface information for the one or more target systems including the first target system using the speech recognition system; and
identifying spoken commands issued for controlling or operating the first target system as a function of the interface information.

Abstract
A system for controlling or operating a plurality of target systems via spoken commands is provided. The system includes a first plurality of target systems, a second plurality of controllers for controlling or operating target systems via spoken commands, a speech recognition system that stores interface information that is specific to a target system or a group of target systems that are to be controlled or operated. A first controller in the second plurality of controllers includes a microphone for picking up audible signals in the vicinity of the first controller and a device for transmitting the audible signals to a speech recognition system. The speech recognition system is operable to analyze the interface information to recognize spoken commands issued for controlling or operating said target system.
