A voice control system for managing home electrical appliances includes a home
agent server (HAS) connected to the home electrical appliances, a microphone and
a speaker linked to the agent server through an in-house network. An transaction
processing (TP) program runs on HAS and interprets the user's voice request to
find a destined appliance and a manner of control the same, and performs the requested
control to the destined appliance. The result is notified to the user by means
of a voice message.
