Interactive Voice-Controller Applied to Home Automation

This paper describes the application of the embedded sound-controller, SUNPLUS SPCE061A, combined with Microchip 2.4 GHz ZigBee modules, in Home Automation. Applying the speech recognition library provided by SUNPLUS, we use a multi-stage algorithm to identify which one of the target home devices should take the corresponding operation. The recognized control message is sent by the ZigBee module joined in the ZigBee network, routed and reached the home target device. Due to the multi-stage recognition phases, we can powerfully extend the capability of the original speech recognition library functions. Finally, some experimental results of an interactive voice-control lighting system demonstrate the facility, flexibility, scalability and feasibility of our work.
