  • Publication number: 20230373305
    Abstract: A voice control system for recreational vehicles controls safe operation of deployable components of the RV, such as an antenna, awning or room extension. A voice recognition system is employed to interpret voice commands and control operation of the deployable components in response. A voice control system monitors the status of the RV and its components to detect unsafe conditions relating to operation of the deployable components. If an unsafe condition is detected, the safety supervisor of the voice control system triggers a warning or activates a predetermined interlock to prevent unsafe operation of the RV and its deployable components. In addition, the safety supervisor can halt operation of the deployable components in response to a predetermined “cancel” voice command.

  • Publication number: 20230047554
    Abstract: A voice control system for recreational vehicles controls safe operation of deployable components of the RV, such as an antenna, awning or room extension. A voice recognition system is employed to interpret voice commands and control operation of the deployable components in response. A control system monitors the status of the RV and its components to detect unsafe conditions relating to operation of the deployable components. For example, this can be done via a wired or wireless network of sensors detecting the state of the RV and its deployable components. The control system can also monitor the status of the RV via the data bus built into the RV. If an unsafe condition is detected, the safety manager of the control system triggers a warning or activates a predetermined interlock to prevent unsafe operation of the RV and its deployable components.
