Abstract

See full text

Devices are registered within a zone using a service discovery protocol. At the time of registration, a device sends a grammar and a set of help sequences to a control unit in the zone to be merged into a composite grammar and composite set of help sequences. If the voice command iddued by a user is recognized, an appropriate method invocation is sent to the device to perform the desired operation. If the device in the voice command is recognized but the operation is not recognized, then the user is provided with a help sequence on how to properly perform operations with the device. If the device is not recognized, the command is forwarded to another zone within a set of zones until either the device is found or no such device is located.
