Abstract

Implementations of a mobile platform for device control may use voice recognition. A user may use a mobile platform, such as a mobile application, on a mobile device to interpret and relay voice commands to a device. Voice recognition services may be integrated into the mobile application, the mobile device operating system (OS), or both.

Claims (36)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, at a first device, a voice-to-text signal associated with an audio input signal via a cellular channel;

generating, at the first device, a command signal based on the audio input signal, the command signal associated with a voice command of a second device; and

transmitting the command signal to the second device, wherein the command signal causes the second device to configure a time lapse capture mode of the second device based on a user activity that is determined based on accelerometer data including a velocity vector.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a feedback message from the device, wherein the feedback message indicates that an action associated with the voice command is completed.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the feedback message is an audible signal.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the feedback message is displayed on a display of a remote device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the command signal is generated based on the audio input signal, voice data, and the user activity.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time lapse capture mode is a high dynamic range (HDR) mode.

7. A system, comprising:

a first device; and

a second device configured to:

receive a voice-to-text signal associated with an audio input signal via a cellular channel;

generate, based on the audio input signal, a command signal associated with a voice command that is associated with a user activity that is determined based on accelerometer data that includes an acceleration vector; and

transmit the command signal to the first device,

wherein the first device is configured to update a time lapse capture mode of the first device based on the command signal.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the command signal is generated based on the audio input signal and voice data.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the command signal is generated based on the audio input signal, the voice data, and the user activity.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the accelerometer data is associated with the first device.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the accelerometer data is associated with the second device.

12. An image capture system, the system comprising:

a device mount configured to couple to an image capture device; and

a remote device configured to:

receive a voice-to-text signal associated with an audio input signal via a cellular channel;

generate, based on the audio input signal, a command signal that is associated with a voice command of the device mount; and

transmit the command signal to the device mount,

wherein the device mount is configured to switch to a slow-motion mode based on speed data.

13. The image capture system of claim 12 , wherein the remote device is configured to receive a feedback message from the device mount, and wherein the feedback message indicates that an action associated with the voice command is completed.

14. The image capture system of claim 13 , wherein the feedback message is an audible signal.

15. The image capture system of claim 13 , wherein the feedback message is displayed on a display of the remote device.

16. The image capture system of claim 12 , wherein the speed data is associated with the device mount.

17. The image capture system of claim 16 , wherein the speed data is associated with the remote device.

18. The image capture system of claim 12 , wherein the command signal is associated with a pan angle adjustment of the device mount.

19. The image capture system of claim 12 , wherein the command signal is associated with a tilt angle adjustment of the device mount.

20. The image capture system of claim 12 , wherein the command signal is associated with a roll angle adjustment of the device mount.
