Abstract
The present invention relates to an ultra wideband wireless, voice-activated remote control device for controlling an electronic device having voice control circuitry. A short-range ultra wideband wireless data and voice communication link is established between the remote control device and the electronic device. To activate voice control circuitry in the electronic device, a user supplies an input to the remote control device. In response to the user input, ultra wideband wireless link circuitry within the remote control device sends a control signal via ultra wideband techniques, for example an AT command transmitted through the ether using ultra wideband technology, to the electronic device. The electronic device receives the control signal and transmits a control signal indicating the status of the electronic device. Once the voice control circuitry is activated, the user provides a voice command to the remote control device. The remote control device transmits the voice signal to the electronic device over the wireless communication link. The electronic device processes the voice signal in the voice control circuitry and generates instructions in response to the voice signal if recognized. The voice control circuitry is advantageously located within the electronic device and not within the remote control device to simplify the remote control device and to minimize the amount of power dissipated in the remote control device.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
