Abstract

The invention provides a system and method for providing a user prescribed playlist package of digitized entertainment files. A playlist package request is received at a call center. The playlist package is created based on the playlist package request. The playlist package comprises a plurality of digitized entertainment files and a playlist package information file. The playlist package is then sent to a digitzed entertainment file storage system. Another aspect of the invention provides a computer usable medium that includes program code for providing a user prescribed playlist package of digitized entertainment files.

Claims

1. A method for providing a user prescribed playlist package of digitized entertainment files comprising:

receiving a playlist package request at a call center;

creating a playlist package based on the playlist package request, wherein the playlist package comprises a plurality of digitized entertainment files and a playlist package information file; and

sending the playlist package to a playlist package storage system.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the playlist package further comprises a speech recognition grammar.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the playlist package information file comprises the speech recognition grammar.

4. The method of claim 2 wherein the playlist package is sent to the playlist package storage system when a retrieval signal is received at the call center.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the playlist package storage system is a telematics unit.

6. The method of claim 2 further comprising:

receiving a voice command for a data key at the playlist package storage system;

digitizing the voice command; and

determining whether the digitized voice command matches at least a portion of a data key contained within the information file.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising delivering a digitized entertainment file associated with a matched data key to a digitized entertainment file playback system.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the playlist package storage system comprises the digitized entertainment file playback system.

9. A computer usable medium including computer program code for providing a user prescribed playlist package of digitized entertainment files comprising:

computer program code for receiving a playlist package request at a call center;

computer program code for creating a playlist package based on the playlist package request, wherein the playlist package comprises a plurality of digitized entertainment files and a playlist package information file; and

computer program code for sending the playlist package to a playlist package storage system.

10. The computer usable medium of claim 9 wherein the playlist package further comprises a speech recognition grammar.

11. The computer usable medium of claim 10 wherein the playlist package information file comprises the speech recognition grammar.

12. The computer usable medium of claim 10 wherein the computer program code for sending the playlist package to the playlist package storage system is executed when a retrieval signal is received at the call center.

13. The computer usable medium of claim 9 further comprising:

computer program code for receiving a voice command for a data key at the playlist package storage system;

computer program code for digitizing the voice command; and

computer program code for determining whether the digitized voice command matches at least a portion of a data key contained within the information file.

14. The computer usable medium of claim 13 further comprising computer program code for delivering a digitized entertainment file associated with a matched data key to a digitized entertainment file playback system.

16. The system of claim 14 wherein the playlist package further comprises a speech recognition grammar.

18. The system of claim 16 wherein the means for sending the playlist package to the playlist package storage system comprises means for receiving a retrieval signal at the call center.

19. The system of claim 14 wherein the playlist package storage system is a telematics unit.

20. The system of claim 14 further comprising:

means for receiving a voice command for a data key at the playlist package storage system;

means for digitizing the voice command; and

means for determining whether the digitized voice command matches at least a portion of a data key contained within the information file.

21. The system of claim 20 further comprising means for delivering a digitized entertainment file associated with the matched data key to a digitized entertainment file playback system.

22. The system of claim 21 wherein the playlist package storage system comprises the digitized entertainment file playback system.

15. A system for providing a user prescribed playlist package of digitized entertainment files comprising:

means for receiving a playlist package request at a call center;

means for creating a playlist package based on the playlist package request, wherein the playlist package comprises a plurality of digitized entertainment files and a playlist package information file; and

means for sending the playlist package to a playlist package storage system.

17. The system of claim 15 wherein the playlist package information file comprises the speech recognition grammar.
