Home animation apparatus and methods

This invention describes a system that lets people control home appliances using various inputs like touch or voice. It uses sensors to detect these inputs and a smart controller to learn what actions correspond to which commands, then sends those commands to the appliances. The claims specifically mention using a touch-activated button or an arbitrary voice phrase as the user's command.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of advanced voice AI. The claims cover using arbitrary voice phrases, which is now much easier to implement with off-the-shelf speech recognition and natural language processing models.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, sensors, electronics, learning algorithms
