Abstract
Methods and systems for remotely controlling a device through a wireless headset of a cellular phone are provided. In one implementation, the method includes storing a lookup table in a memory, in which the lookup table includes a digitized voice input and a corresponding control signal for the device. The method further includes receiving a voice input through a microphone, converting the voice input into a corresponding digital signal using an analog-to-digital converter, a voice recognition circuit recognizing the digital signal including matching the digital signal to the digitized voice input stored in the memory, and responsive to the digital signal matching the digitized voice input stored in the memory, a processor transmitting the corresponding control signal through the transceiver to the device.
