This circut could be used to detect a valid I.D. number (address) or a "password".
A household DTMF remote control system with an
optional data port can boast a variety of
conveniences (Fig. 19). Remote ON/OFF control
may be given to electric appliances such as a slow
cooker, exterior lighting and garage heater. An
electro-mechanical solenoid operated valve allows
remote control of a garden sprinkler. Video buffs
could interface to their VCR remote control inputs
and record T.V. shows with a few keystrokes of their
friend’s telephone. This would enhance the function
of timers which are currently available on most
VCR’s.
Schedule
changes
broadcasts could be captured from any remote
or
unexpected
location featuring a Touch-Tone
phone. Security
systems could be controlled and a microphone could
be switched in for remote audio monitoring.
Interfacing a home computer to the data port makes
an excellent family message center. At the remote
end messages are entered from a telephone keypad.
The computer responds with voice messages
generated by a speech synthesizer. In the home,
messages to be left are entered via the computer
keyboard. Messages to be read may be displayed
on the computer monitor or ”played back“ through
the speech synthesizer.
