PROVIDING ACCESS WITH A PORTABLE DEVICE AND VOICE COMMANDS
A computing device may compare a voice command to a voiceprint of a user. The computing device may also determine if the voice command matches the voiceprint and a security level associated with the voice command. An audible announcement may be generated by a virtual assistant (VA) based the determined voice command match and proximity to an object detected by a sensor.
1 .- 14 . (canceled)
15 . A wireless computing device comprising:
an audio detector configured to receive an auditory signal including a voice command, wherein the voice command is for a virtual assistant (VA);
a processor configured to process the voice command based on a voiceprint of a user, wherein the voice command is an instruction for the VA to control a door lock of a vehicle or remotely start a vehicle over a network; and
a transceiver configured to receive, from the vehicle over the network, operation information related to the vehicle.
16 . The wireless computing device of claim 15 , wherein the VA retrieves information of the vehicle over the network without a user request.
17 . The wireless computing device of claim 15 , wherein the voice command includes one of a password, a security code, or an identification code.
18 . The wireless computing device of claim 15 , wherein the voice command is stored locally in a memory device.
19 . The wireless computing device of claim 15 , wherein the voice command is utilized to log a user in and out.
20 . The wireless computing device of claim 15 , wherein proximity of the wireless computing device to the vehicle is determined based on a bluetooth signal.
21 . The wireless computing device of claim 15 , wherein an audible announcement is made as confirmation of the voice command.
22 . The wireless computing device of claim 15 , wherein the VA receives information from an object to maintain continuity with a previous conversation or location of an object.
23 . A method performed by a wireless computing device, the method comprising:
receiving, by an audio detector of the wireless computing device, an auditory signal including a voice command, wherein the voice command is for a virtual assistant (VA);
processing, by the wireless computing device, the voice command based on a voiceprint of a user, wherein the voice command is an instruction for the VA to control a door lock of a vehicle or remotely start a vehicle over a network; and
receiving, by the wireless computing device from the vehicle over the network, operation information related to the vehicle.
24 . The method of claim 23 , wherein the VA retrieves information of the vehicle over the network without a user request.
25 . The method of claim 23 , wherein the voice command includes one of a password, a security code, or an identification code.
26 . The method of claim 23 , wherein the voice command is stored locally in a memory device.
27 . The method of claim 23 , wherein the voice command is utilized to log a user in and out.
28 . The method of claim 23 , wherein proximity of the wireless computing device to the vehicle is determined based on a bluetooth signal.
29 . The method of claim 23 , wherein an audible announcement is made as confirmation of the voice command.
30 . The method of claim 23 , wherein the VA receives information from an object to maintain continuity with a previous conversation or location of an object.
