Description

The product relates to consumer and industrial electronics and can be used for remote control of various electronic devices.

At the moment, all speech recognition systems used in devices for controlling electronic equipment, in similar solutions - server ones. They have a large, but finite and rigidly fixed dictionary of phrases that can be recognized. User and client software cannot influence this dictionary in any way. That is, for recognition, the signal is transmitted to the company server, there it is recognized and returned in the form of a digital code or command text for execution on the spot. For all users the same set of commands.

Similar devices are rigidly attached to devices of the same brand.

Closest to the claimed device is a remote control for the TV company LG, containing a housing with a battery compartment, a keyboard, navigation keys, infrared receiver / transmitter, controller, voice recorder, accelerometer. Information about this device was obtained from the site (tv.html # more) where it was published on 03/02/2012.

The main disadvantages of the closest analogue is that the remote control is tied to a TV of a specific brand connected to the Internet, i.e. you definitely need a TV of a certain brand, you must have access to a powerful server of the company, the list of supported devices is small. There is no opportunity to program the commands yourself, just as there is no way to connect other devices and systems, as well as televisions of other brands, to the system.

The technical result of the claimed technical solution is to simplify the management of electronic equipment by transmitting voice commands converted into electronic directly, as well as due to the ability to connect to various types and types of devices.

The specified technical result is achieved in the proposed device for controlling electronic equipment comprising a housing with a battery compartment, navigation keys, an infrared signal transmitter-receiver, a controller, a voice recorder, and according to a utility model, it further comprises a module for connecting to wireless information exchange networks and an input key -performance of speech commands connected through a controller to a voice recorder, and the controller is connected to all elements with the possibility of receiving and information, and is also configured to convert the analog audio signal recorded by the voice recorder into a digital signal, recognize data from the navigation keys, digital audio signal and generate control commands transmitted using an infrared signal transmitter and / or electronic wireless network connection module technology, while the infrared signal transmitter-receiver is configured to receive and transmit signals of a wide range.

A device for controlling electronic equipment is illustrated in the drawing, which shows a General view of the device.

The device comprises a housing 1 with a battery compartment 2, a keyboard 3, navigation keys 4, an infrared signal transmitter-receiver 5, a controller, a voice recorder 6, an accelerometer, a module for connecting to wireless information exchange networks (Wi-Fi) 7, and the enter key executing voice commands 8 connected through a controller to a voice recorder. The controller is connected to all elements with the ability to receive and transmit information, and is also configured to convert the analog audio signal recorded by the voice recorder into a digital signal, recognize data from the accelerometer, keyboard, navigation keys, digital audio signal and generate control commands transmitted with them using an infrared signal transmitter and / or module for connecting to wireless networks of electronic equipment. The infrared receiver-transmitter of the signal is configured to receive and transmit signals of a wide range.

The device is made in the form of a remote control that is a signal source that connects directly to any personal computer, Wi-fi router, laptop, tablet via wi-fi. For recording codes from the control panels of any devices and for transmitting IR codes to these devices, the control panel has a wide-range receiver and transmitter of IR signals. To operate the algorithm for isolating a useful signal from a noisy environment, a speech recorder contains a pair of microphones, one narrowly focused, the other wide-directional. With such a remote control, you can use the resources of the user's home PC and use an external server only to protect against unauthorized use, receive and store settings for various devices, store data and unique user commands. If there is no personal computer, then the device can recognize voice on the server, while retaining all the same support functions for any devices and user command settings. A variant of the device with recognition of commands directly by the controller is possible

A device for controlling electronic equipment works as follows:

User teams are used to train the system in new commands and devices. The user can take the remote control of a device unknown to the system, bring it to the receiver of IR signals of one of the modules (or remote controls). By pressing the buttons of an unknown remote control, make them known to the system. Using his account, the user can configure-control via the Web interface, for example, enter voice commands through the web interface that correspond to the buttons of an unknown remote control. After that, a previously unknown device becomes known to all users. Users can change at their discretion, but only for themselves, any standard speech commands to any of their own. Several different speech commands can mean the same thing, thanks to this, after a lapse of time, the system begins to recognize almost all possible variants of commands to specific devices.

One of the control devices may be a personal computer (PC). At the same time, the programs on this PC become the objects of control, the technology for recording and executing voice macros is used for control.

The proposed device for controlling electronic equipment can work in conjunction with any modern computing device: a personal computer, smartphone, tablet, netbox. It does not require server power for recognition, does not have a fixed dictionary, for its operation it is necessary to submit in a text form a list of the current possible commands - and it automatically starts to recognize them. No developer intervention is needed to add a new team. This leads to the fact that the device dictionary is almost unlimited, and can dynamically change depending on the context. Taking into account the context leads to a decrease in the total number of alternatives of recognized commands at any time and a sharp increase in accuracy. Similar devices are always chosen from millions of alternatives - the proposed device can by context reject impossible alternatives in advance.
