Voice recognition and display device apparatus and method
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a speech transducer having an output;
a processor having an input and an output, the input connected to the output of the speech transducer; and
a display device having an input connected to the output of the processor, the display device having a screen;
the processor adapted for producing a plurality of windows on the screen at the same time, at least two of the windows comprised of different types of data;
wherein the processor is adapted to receive speech signals from the speech transducer and to modify a parameter of one or more of the windows based on the speech signals; and
wherein the processor responds to a first verbal command by moving a focus to a first application;
the processor responds to a second verbal command and a name of a first file when the first application has the focus, by displaying a portion of the first file in the first application,the processor responds to a third verbal command by moving the focus to a second application; and
the processor responds to the second verbal command and a name of a second file, when the second application has the focus, by displaying a portion of the second file in the second application.

Abstract
A speech transducer, a processor, and a display device are provided. The display device comprises a screen. The processor produces a plurality of windows on the screen at the same time, at least two of the windows comprised of different types of data. The processor also receives a speech signal from the speech transducer and modifies a parameter of one or more of the windows based on the speech signals. A plurality of data sources are provided at least two of which produce different types of data. Preferably one or more windows each comprising data from a different data source, are produced on the screen at the same time. The windows on the screen are arranged in a grid comprised of a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. The processor includes a voice input device for translating speech electrical signals into language signals and a language device for implementing language signals to modify a window on the screen of the display device.
