Abstract
Abstract A portable communication device (10) is controlled by voice recognition circuitry (20) remote from the portable communication device. The portable communication device includes apparatus for producing and transmitting a parametric representation of voice commands. The remote circuitry (which could possibly be a base station, a mobile repeater, or simply a dedicated box, separate from the portable) produces control signals, responsive to the parametric representation of voice commands, for controlling the portable communication device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
In a communication system including a voice recognition means for recognizing voice commands and providing control signals in response thereto, a portable radio remote from the voice recognition means, the portable radio including adjustable controls, the portable radio comprising: transmitter means for transmitting a representation of the voice commands to the voice recognition means, the voice commands informing the voice recognition means which of the adjustable controls in the portable radio to adjust; receiver means for receiving said control signals from the voice recognition means; and controller means for adjusting at least one of the adjustable controls of the portable radio in response to the control signals received by the receiver means, whereby control signals received from the voice recognition means control operation of the portable radio which transmitted the representation of the voice commands.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
In a communication system including a voice recognition means for recognizing voice commands and providing control signals in response thereto, a portable radio remote from the voice recognition means, the portable radio including adjustable controls, the portable radio comprising: transmitter means for transmitting a representation of the voice commands to the voice recognition means, the voice commands informing the voice recognition means which of the adjustable controls in the portable radio to adjust; receiver means for receiving said control signals from the voice recognition means; and controller means for adjusting at least one of the adjustable controls of the portable radio in response to the control signals received by the receiver means, whereby control signals received from the voice recognition means control operation of the portable radio which transmitted the representation of the voice commands.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The portable radio of claim 1, wherein the representation of the voice commands is parametric.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The portable radio of claim 1, wherein the representation of the voice commands comprises recognition features of the voice commands.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
The portable radio of claim 1, further comprising: first means for placing the portable radio in a conventional transmit mode when the first means is activated; and second means for placing the portable radio in a voice command transmit mode when the second means is activated.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
The portable radio of claim 4, wherein the second means is responsive to voice commands.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
133 words
A communication system comprising: voice recognition means for recognizing voice commands, and for providing control signals responsive to the voice commands; and a portable radio remote from the voice recognition means, the portable radio including adjustable controls, comprising: transmitter means for transmitting a representation of the voice commands to the voice recognition means, the voice commands informing the voice recognition means which of the adjustable controls in the portable radio to adjust; receiver means for receiving said control signals from the voice recognition means; controller means for adjusting at least one of the adjustable controls in the portable radio in response to the control signals received by the receiver means, whereby control signals received from the voice recognition means control operation of the portable radio which transmitted the representation of the voice commands.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
133 words
A communication system comprising: voice recognition means for recognizing voice commands, and for providing control signals responsive to the voice commands; and a portable radio remote from the voice recognition means, the portable radio including adjustable controls, comprising: transmitter means for transmitting a representation of the voice commands to the voice recognition means, the voice commands informing the voice recognition means which of the adjustable controls in the portable radio to adjust; receiver means for receiving said control signals from the voice recognition means; controller means for adjusting at least one of the adjustable controls in the portable radio in response to the control signals received by the receiver means, whereby control signals received from the voice recognition means control operation of the portable radio which transmitted the representation of the voice commands.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
