No direct mentions of the patents in the article, but indirectly through an older article[0]. The patents in question seem to be [1][2] (both the same?!). > 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. How can a patent like this pass? This is absolutely ridiculous. Patents relating to CS are utterly broken, people need to demand the government to step in since it is impossible for small players to fight them, hence it stifles innovation. 0. https://www.theregister.com/2020/02/12/mycroft_patent_troll/ https://www.theregister.com/2020/02/12/mycroft_patent_troll/ 1. https://patents.google.com/patent/US9794348 https://patents.google.com/patent/US9794348 2. https://patents.google.com/patent/US10491679 https://patents.google.com/patent/US10491679
