Home networked device monitoring and controlling system, has home subsystem with server that directly receives command signals over wireless network, and issuing instruction commands to appropriate networked devices

摘要

The system has a vehicle subsystem (12) with a microphone that receives voice commands from an occupant of a vehicle (13). A display provides a visual interface between the occupant and the vehicle subsystem. A home subsystem (14) with a server that directly receives the command signals over a wireless network, interprets the command signals, and issues instruction commands to appropriate networked devices. An independent claim is also included for a method for monitoring and controlling home networked devices from a motor vehicle.
