ABSTRACT:
Controlling a computer user interface with sound including defining ranges of audio frequencies; associating each range with a user interface command; receiving as input from a user a sound representing an instruction to execute a user interface command, the sound characterized by a spectrum of frequencies and energies; identifying the user interface command to be executed in dependence upon the spectrum of frequencies and energies, the defined ranges of audio frequencies, and the user interface commands associated with the ranges; and executing the identified command.
