Command and Control of Devices and Applications by Voice Using a Communication Base System
First Claim
1. A method for controlling devices and applications using voice-commands and DTMF signals, the method comprising:
- establishing a first communication path between a first communication device and a base station;
establishing a second communication path between the first communication device and a second communication device via the base station;
relaying a verbal communication between the first communication device and the second communication device via the base station;
identifying, by the base station, during the communication between the first communication device and the second communication device, a speech pattern from a user of the first communication device as including a voice-command;
determining, by the base station, a first operation corresponding to the voice-command portion of the speech pattern;
performing, by the base station, the first operation corresponding to the voice-command portion of the speech pattern;
identifying, by the base station, a DTMF signal input from the first communication device during the communications between the first communication device and the second communication device;
determining, by the base station, a second operation corresponding to the DTMF signal; and
performing, by the base station, the second operation corresponding to the DTMF signal.

Abstract
A first communication path for receiving a communication is established. The communication includes speech, which is processed. A speech pattern is identified as including a voice-command. A portion of the speech pattern is determined as including the voice-command. That portion of the speech pattern is separated from the speech pattern and compared with a second speech pattern. If the two speech patterns match or resemble each other, the portion of the speech pattern is accepted as the voice-command. An operation corresponding to the voice-command is determined and performed. The operation may perform an operation on a remote device, forward the voice-command to a remote device, or notify a user. The operation may create a second communication path that may allow a headset to join in a communication between another headset and a communication device, several headsets to communicate with each other, or a headset to communicate with several communication devices.

8. A base station storing computer executable instructions on a non-transitory storage medium, said instructions for controlling devices and applications using voice-commands that, when said instructions are executed, cause the base station to:
-
establish a first communication path directly between a first communication device and a base station; establish a second communication path between the first communication device and a second communication device via the base station; relay a verbal communication between the first communication device and the second communication device via the base station; identify during the communications between the first communication device and the second communication device, a speech pattern from a user of the first communication device as including a voice-command; determine a first operation corresponding to the voice-command portion of the speech pattern; perform the first operation corresponding to the voice-command portion of the speech pattern; identify a DTMF signal input from the first communication device during the communications between the first communication device and the second communication device; determine a second operation corresponding to the DTMF signal; and perform the second operation corresponding to the DTMF signal. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A base station for controlling devices and applications using voice-commands and DTMF signals, the base station comprising:
-
a user-side interface coupled to a first communication path and configured receive verbal communications and DTMF signals from a user, said verbal communications comprising in part a voice-command from the user; and a processing engine in communication with the user-side interface through the first communication path, said processing engine being configured to; establish a first communication path directly between a first communication device and the base station; establish a second communication path between the first communication device and a second communication device coupled to a network side interface via the base station; relay a verbal communication between the first communication device and the second communication device via the base station; identify during the communications between the first communication device and the second communication device, a speech pattern from a user of the first communication device as including a voice-command; determine a first operation corresponding to the voice-command portion of the speech pattern; perform the first operation corresponding to the voice-command portion of the speech pattern; identify a DTMF signal input from the first communication device during the communications between the first communication device and the second communication device; determine a second operation corresponding to the DTMF signal; and perform the second operation corresponding to the DTMF signal. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
