The first one claimed: https://patents.google.com/patent/US9794348B2/en https://patents.google.com/patent/US9794348B2/en Abstract A method of using voice commands from a mobile device to remotely access and control a computer. The method includes receiving audio data from the mobile device at the computer. The audio data is decoded into a command. A software program that the command was provided for is determined. At least one process is executed at the computer in response to the command. Output data is generated at the computer in response to executing at least one process at the computer. The output data is transmitted to the mobile device. It is worth noting (based on Google...) that they are the first ones against which this patent asserted in court. Based on its broad applicability they are clearly following a strategy of getting a few wins against weaker targets before taking on the rest of the world. Alexa, Siri please help!

The claim is the relevant part, not the abstract. Claim 1 recites: > A method of remotely accessing and controlling a computer from a mobile device, comprising: > receiving audio data from the mobile device, at the computer, at an audio command interface; the audio command interface decodes the audio data into a command; > the audio command interface selects, from two or more applications, one application the audio command interface decides is the appropriate application to execute at least one process in response to the command, wherein in deciding which application to select the audio command interface uses biometric data; (This step is likely the basis for any claim of patentability over the prior art. Interestingly, the patent doesn’t use the term “biometric” in the specification. So there might be a written description or enablement problem. Caveat: I’m a lawyer but this is not legal advice, just entertainment.) > executing with the selected application the at least one process in response to the command; > generating output data in response to the selected application executing the at least one process; > and transmitting the output data to the mobile device.

Don't bother reading ANYTHING other than the claims. Just skip right to them. That's the legal part, that's what they're trying to do a land-grab on. The stuff up front (abstracts, diagrams, whatever) don't mean a thing and will only serve to distract you.
