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, the method comprising:
- establishing a first communication path directly between a user and a base station for receiving a communication;
establishing communication paths between the user and a plurality of communication devices via the base station;
relaying communications between the user and the plurality of communication devices;
identifying, by the base station, during the communications between the user and the plurality of communication devices, a speech pattern from the user, as including a voice-command, wherein the speech pattern is identified as including a voice command by a command processing module of the base station by the detection of a preliminary pre-determined address word;
separating, by the bases station, the voice command portion of the speech pattern from the address word portion of the speech pattern;
determining, by the base station, an operation corresponding to the voice-command portion of the speech pattern; and
performing, by the base station, the operation on one or more communication devices within the plurality of communication devices selected by the user.

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 system includes non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing computer executable instructions for controlling devices and applications using voice-commands that, when executed, cause the base station to:
-
establish a first communication path with a user through the base station for receiving a communication; establishing communication paths between the user and a plurality of communication devices via the base station; receive and identify during the communications between the user and the plurality of communication devices a speech pattern including a voice-command, wherein the speech pattern is identified as including a voice command by a command processing module of the base station by the detection of a preliminary pre-determined address word; separate the voice command portion of the speech pattern from the address word portion of the speech pattern; determine an operation corresponding to the voice-command portion of the speech pattern; and perform the operation on one or more communication devices within the plurality of communication devices selected by the user. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A base system for controlling devices and applications using voice-commands, the base system comprising:
- a plurality of communication devices
a user-side interface coupled to a first communication path and configured receive verbal communications from a user, said verbal communications comprising in part a voice-command from the user; and a processing engine in communication the user-side interface through the first communication path, the processing engine being configured receive and identify during verbal communications between the user and the plurality of communication devices a speech pattern including a voice-command, wherein the speech pattern is identified by the processing engine as including a voice command by the detection of a preliminary pre-determined address word, wherein the processing engine is further configured to separate the voice command portion of the speech pattern from the address word portion of the speech pattern, determine an operation corresponding to the voice-command portion of the speech pattern, and perform the operation on any number of user-selected communication devices coupled to a network side interface. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
