Traditionally, home appliances are controlled by switches or remote controllers manually. In order to control the appliances, a user has to be near the switches or carry remote controllers all the time. To alleviate this inconvenience, this paper proposes a control system for home appliances using human speech and context information. We present an architecture of the control system and a process to control home appliances composed of three steps: speech detection, speech recognition, and command execution. To validate our system, we show two useful case studies by testing it at POSTECH smart home and UPnP-OSGi simulator.
