Abstract

A speech encoding system for use with a digital cellular communication device and a receiving station, includes a mechanism for determining whether a voice communications packet needs to be treated as a data communications packet; a voice recognition mechanism for receiving instructions by voice command; and a control mechanism for responding to said voice command and controlling a controlled entity. A method for encoding a voice command generated on a digital cellular communication device and transmitted over a wireless communication network to a receiving station for controlling a controllable entity includes recognizing a voice command; determining whether the voice command needs to be treated as a data communications packet; encoding the voice command; connecting the voice command to a voice recognition mechanism; and controlling a controlled entity with the voice command.
