Abstract

In one embodiment of the present invention, a voice control application transmits data to a voice server about a first execution state of an application program resident in the memory of an electronic device having a first graphical display. The voice control application also transmits an audio waveform encoding of a voice command defining a second execution state of the application program. The voice server performs a speech recognition process upon the audio waveform encoding and transmits a reply to the electronic device for causing the second execution state of the application program. The voice control program, in response to the response, automatically causes the second execution state of the application program having a second graphical display.
