Title
Multifunctional System Via Assistive Computing Devices
Abstract
The present disclosure provides for multifunction system (MFS) control via associating a user with a MFS; outputting an initial audio cue based on an initial status of the MFS via an assistive computing device; receiving command inputs; transmitting the command inputs to the MFS; receiving an updated status from the MFS based on the command inputs; and outputting updated audio cues via the assistive computing device based on the updated status and/or via in response to receiving an association request, identifying a user profile; interfacing with an assistive computing device (having a microphone and a speaker) associated with the user profile; receiving an utterance captured by the microphone; locally processing the utterance according to a natural language processor to identify an action intent; performing the action intent via an MFS; and transmitting, for output via the speaker, a status of the MFS performing the action intent.
