Voice control module for controlling a game controller

Abstract

The present invention provides a voice control module for controlling a game controller comprising: a microphone for inputting voice signals, a first voice recognition device of command mode for converting the voice signals inputted from the microphone within a time period into a corresponding game command, and a second voice recognition device of continuous mode for converting the voice signals continuously inputted from the microphone into a corresponding switch command. Wherein after the switch command is converted, the second voice recognition device initiates the first voice recognition device to convert the voice signals inputted from the microphone within the time period into a corresponding game command to control the game controller.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A voice control module for controlling a game controller comprising: 
 a microphone for inputting voice signals;    a first voice recognition device for converting the voice signals inputted from the microphone within a time period into a corresponding game command; and    a second voice recognition device for converting the voice signals continuously inputted from the microphone into a corresponding switch command;    wherein after the switch command is converted, the second voice recognition device initiates the first voice recognition device to convert the voice signals inputted from the microphone within the time period into a corresponding game command to control the game controller.    
     
     
         2 . The voice control module of  claim 1  further comprising a switch for delivering the voice signals inputted from the microphone to the first or second voice recognition device wherein after the switch command is converted, the second voice recognition device controls the switch to deliver the voice signals inputted from the microphone to the first voice recognition device so as to enable the first voice recognition device to convert the voice signals into the corresponding game command.  
     
     
         3 . The voice control module of  claim 1  further comprising an output device for acknowledging the result of each conversion made by the first or second voice recognition device.  
     
     
         4 . The voice control module of  claim 4  wherein the output device is a speaker.  
     
     
         5 . The voice control module of  claim 1  wherein the first and second voice recognition devices are installed in a computer joystick which is used for generating pointing and key command signals to control the game controller.
