Methods for synchronous and asynchronous voice-enabled content selection and content synchronization for a mobile or fixed multimedia station
First Claim
1. A system enabling voice-enabled selection and execution for playback of media files stored on a media content playback device comprising:
- a voice input circuitry and speech recognition module for enabling voice input recognizable on the device as one or more voice commands for task performance;
a push-to-talk interface for activating the voice input circuitry and speech recognition module; and
a media content synchronization device for maintaining synchronization between stored media content selections and at least one list of grammar sets used for speech recognition by the speech recognition module, the names identifying one or more media content selections currently stored and available for playback on the media content playback device.

16. A media content selection and playback device including:
-
a voice input circuitry for inputting voice commands to the device;
a speech recognition module with access to a grammar repository for providing recognition of input voice commands; and
,a push-to-talk indicia for activating the voice input circuitry and speech recognition module;
wherein depressing the push-to-talk indicia and maintaining the depressed state of the indicia enables voice input and recognition for performing one or more tasks including selecting and playing media content. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
