Abstract
A speech recognition remote control unit (SR RCU) having the ability to leverage the advanced processing and memory capabilities of a settop box in order to provide enhanced SR capability and enhanced user control of components in an audio-video system. Programming of commands takes place in either the SR RCU or in the settop box, or both. Commands programmed into the settop box may be initiated by speech communications received by the SR RCU that are then sent to the settop box via wireless transfer. The initiated commands may further be sent to a device either directly from the settop box, or via relay from the settop box to the SR RCU, and then to the device. The SR RCU may be capable of receiving both speech communications and wireless information.
