Definitions
- the invention relates to a voice-controlled alarm system for the domestic sector according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the published patent application DE 10 2004 054 124 A1 discloses a home appliance device with a control unit for controlling at least one household appliance, which has at least one interface for wireless communication with a mobile voice input device. It is the goal here to achieve a particularly optimal voice transmission, which is why a mobile voice input device is proposed to be placed directly on the mouth of the user operating the device.
- a device in the sense of a headset is disclosed.
- Such a device is not suitable for use in connection with an alarm system insofar as the aim is to be able to trigger an alarm in such a way that, for example, an intruder does not perceive the triggering of the alarm. This is usually not possible if the person triggering the alarm has a special input microphone or the like, since this is where the alarm-triggering character becomes obvious.
- the published patent application DE 10 2007 044 792 A 1 discloses a method, control device and system for controlling or operating target systems via spoken commands.
- a speech recognition system should be applied.
- the task here is to make certain applications or target systems accessible to a large number of users.
- a portable controller is disclosed in the dependent claims, that receives the spoken commands and forwards them to the target systems.
- a portable alarm device is known to trigger an audible alarm by means of speech recognition. It is a portable device that can also be designed in the form of a mobile phone.
- the object of the present application is to present a voice-controlled alarm system for the domestic sector which permits remote control by means of voice recognition without an input device, whereby a distinction is made between relevant and negligible acoustic input signals.
- the controller is to enable a voice control that can handle voice commands from any user whose application is thus not only reduced to the user whose voice command has been previously read into the controller.
- a secure implementation of voice commands in corresponding control signals for electrical equipment is to be implemented so that the present device is able to realize this even at a greater distance between the acoustic signal transmitter and the receiver in the form of the control device. This is intended to achieve that a single control device, which is arranged inconspicuously in the domestic area, allows control of the electrical equipment.
- the voice-controlled alarm system for domestic use comprises as basic components an acoustic receiving device, a speech recognition unit and a transmitting unit for the delivery of radio signals.
- the voice command is recorded, processed in the integrated core component of the speech recognition and finally the result of this processing via the transmitting unit, for example, as an alarm call to a control center or a person to be notified.
- An embodiment of the invention comprises as structural units a high-sensitivity microphone for recording voice commands from a distance of up to several meters, a pre-processing unit with a pre-processing unit. more for pre-processing of the analog input signal, an analog-to-digital converter for generating a digital signal, a computer unit with interface to the analog-to-digital converter, at least one microprocessor and at least one memory containing at least one electronic dictionary with reference words, input by the user Reference words are converted into phoneme chains and so speaker-independent recognizable stored, a digital signal processor with a microcontroller for speaker-independent speech recognition algorithms, a mobile unit and an integrated SIM card or alternatively an interface for integrating a SIM card.
- a preprocessing unit is part of the speech recognition unit which stores the analog input signals in phoneme strings.
- This conversion of the user-stored in the device reference terms in phoneme chains makes it possible according to the invention that the terms used can not only be spoken by the user but are recognized by the speech recognition user independent.
- a processor unit After converting these phoneme chains into an analog-to-digital converter into digital signals, a processor unit processes this digital data and triggers the commands associated with defined phoneme chains. Core idea of the present solution is also that the processor unit also performs a frequency analysis of the incoming acoustic signals and in this case a distinction between acoustic signals. Thus, it is detected whether an activation of the phoneme chain recognition of the alarm system is allowed due to the nature of the input signals, or if there are acoustic input signals that are to trigger a deactivation or a standby operation of the alarm system. In everyday life in the home area, a variety of acoustic signals that could lead to false alarms as potential input signals of the alarm system.
- the basic feature of the present alarm system must be taken into account with the fact that it is not triggered by the actuation of, for example, an alarm button or the use of a separate mobile voice input device. Rather, this alarm system as a potentially activatable at any time security system constantly record and evaluate acoustic input signals. Due to this constant evaluation of the acoustic input signals, however, there is also the risk that an alarm-triggering term, which has been previously programmed into the alarm system, will fall unintentionally.
- voice dialogues between persons in the monitored room In a larger number of people present, such as a celebration, there is an increased level of spoken words, which are evaluated as acoustic input signals in the alarm system, in addition by the superposition of the acoustic signals there is a risk that the speech recognition either not in is able to convert these overlays to individual phoneme chains or erroneous conversions take place, which may possibly lead to unintentional alarm triggering.
- Another example of this is acoustic signals that are not generated by people in the room but by playback devices for media such as radio or television.
- the present alarm system it is also relevant for the present alarm system that it is active at any time without activation or a longer charging process. As soon as the alarm system is activated by a connection to the power supply, it can fully fulfill its function. In this way it is ensured that the alarm can be triggered even in completely surprising situations without delay.
- An advantageous design of the alarm system also provides the possibility that there may be a dialogue between the person triggering the alarm in a room and the person contacted about the alarm.
- an alarm call can be sent to a person who then receives acoustic signals from the monitored room via the telephone connection. This means that the person receiving the emergency call can already get an impression of the situation in this way.
- an advantageous design has the ability to establish a dialogue between the person who is in the monitored room and the person being notified. If it concerns, for example, a medical emergency, then the notified person, for example, the family doctor, enter directly into dialogue with the possibly immobile person and thus transmit first behavioral rules.
