Abstract

See full text

A voice actuated VCR controller includes increment and decrements buttons, and instruction button. Upon user battery insertion, and audio prompt requesting sequential setting of the day, hour, and minute occurs utilizing the increment and decrements buttons. Presuming the clock is set, and the device turned on, the decision tree protocol is activated. The protocol includes asking sequentially for the day, hour, and minute, AM and/or PM time for both the start and stop of VCR recording. Thereafter, the correct times are verified, the user instructed to turn on his VCR, insert a tape, and place the voice actuated VCR controller addressed to the VCR. In an alternate embodiment, the voice actuated VCR can make a presumption for VCR programming based on information in the controller, announce to the user the presumption and inquiring whether the presumption is correct, receiving an answer to the announced presumption, and in the event that the presumption is incorrect, receiving corrected information.
