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.

Claims (38)

1. A method of accessing and controlling a computer from a mobile device, comprising:

receiving audio data from the mobile device, at the computer, at an audio command interface;

the audio command interface decodes the audio data into a command;

the audio command interface selects, from at least one operating system and at least one application, one operating system or one application, wherein the audio command interface decides is the appropriate operating system or application to execute at least one process in response to the command;

executing with the selected operating system or application the at least one process in response to the command;

generating output data in response to the selected operating system or application executing the at least one process; and

transmitting the output data to the mobile advice.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is not physically connected to the computer and the application selected by the audio command interface is installed on the computer.

3. A method of accessing and controlling a computer from a mobile device, comprising:

receiving audio data from the mobile device, at the computer, at an audio command interface;

the audio command interface decodes the audio data into a command;

the audio command interface selects, from two or more applications, one application, wherein the audio command interface decides is the appropriate application to execute at least one process in response to the command;

executing with the selected application the at least one process in response to the command;

generating output data in response to the selected application executing the at least one process; and

transmitting the output data to the mobile device.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the mobile device is not physically connected to the computer and the application selected by the audio command interface is installed on the computer.

5. A system for accessing and controlling a computer from a mobile device, comprising:

a computer;

a communications medium that couples the mobile device to the computer; and

an audio command interface, at the computer, the audio command interface:

receives audio data from the mobile device;

decodes the audio data into a command;

selects, from at least one operating system and at least one application, one operating system or one application, wherein the audio command interface decides is the appropriate operating system or application to execute at least one process in response to the command;

executes with the selected operating system or application the at least one process at the computer in response to the command; and

generates output data in response to the selected operating system or application executing the at least one process;

wherein a mobile device interface at the computer transmits the output data to the mobile device.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the mobile device is not physically connected to the computer and the application selected by the audio command interface is installed on the computer.

7. A system for accessing and controlling a computer from a mobile device, comprising:

a computer;

a communications medium that couples the mobile device to the computer; and

an audio command interface, at the computer, the audio command interface:

receives audio data from the mobile device;

decodes the audio data into a command;

selects, from two or more applications, one application, wherein the audio command interface decides is the appropriate application to execute at least one process in response to the command;

executes with the selected application the at least one process at the computer in response to the command; and

generates output data in response to the selected application executing the at least one process;

wherein a mobile device interface at the computer transmits the output data to the mobile device.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the mobile device is not physically connected to the computer and the application selected by the audio command interface is installed on the computer.
