Abstract
A splicing device for optical fibers comprises a programmable splicing apparatus which can be controlled by means of at least one program parameter, for connecting optical fibers, and a speech recognition unit. Spoken text is detected via the speech recognition unit, and a spoken command is determined from the detected spoken text. The at least one program parameter of the splicing apparatus is adjusted and/or the splicing apparatus is controlled as a function of the determined spoken command.
Claims31
A splicing device for optical fibers, comprising:
- a programmable splicing apparatus which can be controlled by means of at least one program parameter, for connecting optical fibers;
- and
- a speech recognition unit which is designed to detect spoken text, to determine a spoken command from the detected spoken text and to adjust the at least one program parameter of the splicing apparatus and/or to control processes of the splicing apparatus as a function of the determined spoken command.
A method for operating a splicing device for optical fibers, comprising the following steps:
- providing a programmable splicing apparatus which can be controlled by means of at least one program parameter, for connecting optical fibers;
- detecting a spoken text;
- determination of a spoken command from the detected spoken text;
- adjustment of the at least one program parameter of the splicing apparatus and/or control of processes of the splicing apparatus in each case as a function of the determined spoken command.
