CONFIGURING A PROXY FOR HANDS-FREE OPERATION

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for configuring a proxy device is provided herein. During operation, a proxy device will maintain a remote device voice control database comprising user-interface (UI) commands used to control the remote device. When a user invokes an action on the remote device using a non-vocal control of the remote device (e.g. by not using a voice command but instead pressing the recording button on a camera), the remote device advertises a command associated with the performed user action to the proxy device. The proxy device checks the database for the advertised command. If the command is not found in the database, the proxy device dynamically requests that the user record a voice utterance to associate with the command. The recommended voice utterance and its associated command are updated in the body-worn camera voice control database of the proxy device.
