Title: Method and system for controlling and/or communicating with a household appliance by means of voice commands with verification of the enabling of a remote control
Inventor: SERGI LEONARDO
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2020-11-10
Abstract: A method for controlling and/or communicating with a household appliance 100 by means of voice commands and with verification of remote control enabling is described.The method comprises the steps of receiving an acoustic voice signal SV, corresponding to a voice query and/or request expression pronounced by a user, and generating a corresponding first electric signal SE representative of the acoustic voice signal SV, by voice receiving means 2 integrated in the household appliance 100.The method then provides generating a query and/or request electric signal SR, on the basis of the received first electric signal SE, by first processing means 3 integrated in the household appliance 100 operatively connected to said voice reception means 2; and transmitting the query and/or request electric signal SR to second processing means 4.The method then comprises the steps of processing, performed by the second processing means 4, the query and/or request electric signal SR to identify a user query and/or request; and of recognizing if the user query and/or request is a command and/or control action which requires remote control enabling.If the user query and/or request is recognized as a command and/or control action which does not require remote control enabling, the method proceeds directly with the steps of determining a response to be provided to the user on the basis of the identified user query and/or request and generating a response electric signal C corresponding to the determined response, by the second processing means 4; then transmitting the aforesaid response electric signal C to the first processing means 3 of the household appliance; finally, providing the user with a visual and/or written and/or voice response, by display means 5 or sound reproduction means 7 comprised in the household appliance 100, on the basis of the aforesaid response electric signal C.If the user query and/or request is recognized as a command and/or control action which requires remote control enabling, the method provides performing a remote control verification and/or enabling procedure and then performing the aforesaid steps of determining and providing a response to the user, depending on the outcome of the remote control verification procedure.The aforesaid remote control verification and/or enabling procedure firstly provides verifying whether a remote control enabling state is activated in the household appliance 100.If it is verified that a remote control enabling state is activated in the household appliance 100, the method provides executing the command and/or control action in the household appliance 100.If it is verified that a remote control enabling state is not activated in the household appliance 100, the method provides setting a standby state and asking the user for an enabling action before executing the command and/or control action.
