Remote control styres med stemmeinput
Texas Instruments lancerer ny 'voice-enabled' remote control platforme til ZigBee RF4CE og Bluetooth Smart baseret trådløs kommunikation (in english).
Texas Instruments (TI) has announced new voice-enabled ZigBee RF4CE and Bluetooth Smart remote control development kits that will bring advanced voice features to more remotes and more consumers.
Working with Nuance Communications, Inc., a leading provider of voice and language solutions, TI’s new remote control solutions deliver high-quality voice recognition powered by Nuance’s Dragon TV in a limited bandwidth stream without quality loss or impact on the results. TVs and set-top boxes (STBs) now offer more advanced services where voice-enabled remotes provide an additional method for user control.
The performance and low power of TI’s solution delivers advanced consumer applications including voice commands, hands-free search and navigation as well as user identification for customized user interfaces. Additionally, with a lower cost point and more flexibility than current voice-enabled remote technology, TI’s RF4CE and Bluetooth Smart remote solutions make embedded- and Internet- or cloud-based remotes a reality.
- Voice is changing the TV remote experience bringing a new sense of simplicity and instant access to content, shows and features – otherwise hard to navigate with traditional remote controls and program guides, says Michael Thompson, executive vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile.
- TI’s RF4CE and Bluetooth Smart remote control solutions powered by Nuance’s Dragon TV bring the connected TV to life and create a compelling and engaging experience.
Based on a single-chip SoC (CC2533 or CC2541 for ZigBee RF4CE or Bluetooth low energy respectively), TI’s voice-enabled remote control solutions only require an external ADC—no external DSP is needed for voice compression, which reduces costs to manufacturers.
The voice-enabled remote controls use TI’s royalty-free RemoTI RF4CE stack and BLE-Stack software. TI offers manufacturers a complete RF4CE and Bluetooth Smart remote control product offering including simple button remotes, advanced remotes with pointing technology, and now voice-enabled.
The voice-enabled remote control solutions have already gained momentum with remote manufacturers.
