Using Voice Commands From A Mobile Device To Remotely Access And Control A Computer

Abstract

A method of using voice commands from a mobile device to remotely access and control a computer. The method includes receiving audio data from the mobile device at the computer. The audio data is decoded into a command. A software program that the command was provided for is determined. At least one process is executed at the computer in response to the command. Output data is generated at the computer in response to executing at least one process at the computer. The output data is transmitted to the mobile device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for accessing and controlling a computer from a mobile device, comprising:
 the mobile device, wherein the mobile device is any hardware device capable of mobility;   the computer, wherein the computer is a general purpose processing platform comprised of one or more discrete components;   a communications medium that couples the mobile device to the general purpose processing platform; and   an audio command interface, at the general purpose processing platform, the audio command interface:
 receives voice or data information from the mobile device; 
 determines whether the voice or data information corresponds to a command; and 
 selects, from at least one operating system and at least one application, one operating system or one application, wherein the audio command interface decides which is the appropriate operating system or application to execute at least one process in response to the command; 
   wherein the at least one operating system or the at least one application is not required to be configured for interaction with the mobile device;   wherein the at least one process is executed at the general purpose processing platform with the selected operating system or application in response to the command; and   wherein the audio command interface comprises an application command system.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the application command system comprises at least one predetermined command which operates the at least one application. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the application command system comprises at least one predetermined command which operates the selected application. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the application command system comprises at least one application programming interface.
