  • Publication number: 20090164215
    Abstract: A device with a voice-assisted system is provided by using a voice command to adjust operations. The voice-assisted system includes a voice recognition engine and a control device. The voice recognition engine receives a voice command and outputting a voice signal based on the voice command to the control unit. The control unit based on the voice signal adjusts the operations. A user is only required to input the voice command. The voice recognition engine performs a series of actions to adjust the operations. Therefore, the voice-assisted system can enhance convenience of adjusting the operations of the device and reduce operation complexity for the user.

  • Patent number: 7499859
    Abstract: A video device with a voice-assisted system is provided by using a voice command to adjust the images. The voice-assisted system includes a voice recognition engine and a control unit. The voice recognition engine receives a voice command and outputting a voice signal based on the voice command to the control unit. The control unit based on the voice signal performs the adjustment actions to adjust image. The user only requires inputting a single voice command. The voice recognition engine then can perform a series of actions to adjust image. Therefore, the voice-assisted system can enhance the convenience of adjusting the image of the video device and reduce the operation complexity for the user.
