Automatic data routing via voice command annotation

A voice command annotation method for a device, said method comprising the steps of:

• (a) capturing a voice disposition command with a voice pickup component in said device;
• (b) processing said voice disposition command with a controller in said device comprising the steps of
• (b1) calling, by said controller, voice analysis software from a memory in said device,
• (b2) generating a first recognition pattern, wherein said first recognition pattern is representative of said voice disposition command,
• (b3) comparing said first recognition pattern to at least one recognition pattern for said at least one function stored in a function recognition table in said memory in said device,
• (b4) when said first recognition pattern matches said at least one recognition pattern for said at least one function stored in said function recognition table, retrieving a command number stored in said memory associated with said at least one recognition pattern;
• (c) storing said voice disposition command processed with said controller in a voice command annotation file, comprising the step of
• (c1) storing, by said controller, said command number in said voice command annotation file in said memory in said device;
• (d) associating said voice command annotation file with a data file in said device;
• (e) copying said data file and said voice command annotation file from said device to a host computer system;
• (f) processing said voice command annotation file in said host computer system to identify at least one function associated with said command number;
• and
• (g) executing at least one instruction associated with said at least one function, wherein said at least one instruction acts upon said data file.

A device with voice command annotation comprising:

• a voice pickup component for capturing a voice disposition command, and for outputting said voice disposition command as an analog signal;
• an analog-to-digital converter, connected to said voice pickup component, for converting said analog signal into a digital signal;
• a controller, connected to said analog-to-digital converter, for receiving said digital signal from said analog-to-digital converter and storing said digital signal in a voice command annotation file;
• and
• a host connection, connected to said controller, for establishing a connection with a host computer system, wherein said host computer system comprises
• a memory,
• voice analysis software loaded into said memory, and
• file transfer software loaded into said memory, wherein said file transfer software processes said voice command annotation file by calling said voice analysis software to perform a plurality of frequency domain transforms on said digital signal in said voice command annotation file, generating a first recognition pattern, wherein said first recognition pattern is a spectral transform of said digital signal, and further wherein said file transfer software compares said first recognition pattern to at least one recognition pattern for said at least one function stored in a function recognition table in said memory, wherein when said first recognition pattern matches said at least one recognition pattern for said at least one function stored in said function recognition table, said file transfer software retrieves a command number associated with said at least one recognition pattern and accesses through said command number said at least one instruction, wherein said at least one instruction is linked to said command number, and further wherein said file transfer software executes said at least one instruction.

A device with voice command annotation comprising:

• a voice pickup component for capturing a voice disposition command;
• a controller, connected to said voice pickup component, for deriving a first recognition pattern from said voice disposition command;
• and
• a static memory, connected to said controller, for storing at least one recognition pattern in a function recognition table, and for storing a command number in said function recognition table associated with said at least one recognition pattern;
• wherein, said controller compares said first recognition pattern with said at least one recognition pattern in said function recognition table stored in said static memory, and further wherein, when said first recognition pattern and said at least one recognition pattern match, said controller retrieves said command number from said function recognition table and stores said command number in a voice command annotation file in said static memory.
