When Eppu is done with the shower, drying
up himself, Tessu starts to play the voice messages
received during the night: "Good morning Tessu
and Eppu!" It's Pekka, his colleaque from the work. Pekka explains the
hottest news briefly and asks Eppu to come to work as soon as possible.
They need more resources to handle this news.
Eppu asks Tessu once to "rewind a bit", because he could not hear part of it, now that he is not wearing his earphone. Eppu goes to the wardrobe in his bedroom to dress up. Tessu follows him. He listens also the other voice message from his boss, telling about the same things as Pekka did. Eppu asks Tessu to delete the messages. |

Playing voice messages: Eppu receives messages often during the
night, because there are always some colleaques doing night-shift. He has
programmed Tessu to play the messages automatically after he has been in
the shower. Tessu knows the right moment either by checking the home event
table ("Shower off"), or by recognizing himself that Eppu is drying up
himself.
Remote controlling the message system: Tessu can recognize
some command words of Eppu's speech, and remembers which system has been
operated most previously. So, when Eppu says "Rewind a bit", or
"Delete the messages", Tessu knows it is the just listened voice
messages that Eppu wants to act on. Basically, Tessu can recognize all
the commands that the devices have in their command language, plus many
more words and phrases defined at the factory.
Following the master: Tessu can move around the apartment,
recognizes its master and has a radar for estimating distances. These features
make it possible for it to follow its master when s/he is walking around.
Tessu does not, however, go out with its master or enter the regions it
has no permission, like a shower.
