Example of "Natural Language" Control of Products
The following example shows what would be possible if the URC standards were implemented in household devices like alarm clocks, coffee makers, video recorders, and home alarm systems. In this illustration, a natural language voice control capability has been built in to the PDA, which is being used as a controller.
 |
A man is turning in at the end of the day |
 |
He picks up his PDA (which has a V2 URC program in it) and tells it to
- set the alarm for 4:30 (he needs to get up early)
- set the coffee pot for 4 am (so it is ready for him)
- set the VCR to record the news tomorrow at 6 pm on channel 4 (he will not be back from his trip)
and
|
 |
As it confirms that it has successfully set the alarm to 4:30 am.
He flops in bed ...
And it continues to confirm that it...
Set the coffee maker to 4 am |
| 
|
Set the VCR to record channel 4 at 6 pm
|
| 
|
And turned the house alarm on.
|
| 
|
... but the man has already fallen asleep. |
