VOICE COMMAND INTERFACE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A voice command interface device, comprising:
- a speech input device;
a speech recognition processor connected to the speech input device to receive speech input;
a computer readable medium coupled to the speech recognition processor, the computer readable medium having a command table stored thereon containing one or more command corresponding to a control on a manual input interface on a digital music player, the digital music player being separate from the speech input device, wherein the speech recognition processor is configured to compare the speech input to the commands in the command table and to generate instructions if the speech input matches a command in the command table, the instructions corresponding to the command that is matched;
a programmable controller coupled to the speech recognition processor and being configured to receive instructions and to convert the instructions into control signals; and
a standard interface connector coupled to the programmable controller, the programmable controller being configured to send the control signals through the standard interface connector to a digital music player.

Abstract
A device includes a speech input device. A speech recognition processor connected to the speech input device receives speech input. The device includes a computer readable medium coupled to the speech recognition processor. A command table stored on the computer readable medium includes commands corresponding to a control on a manual input interface on a digital music player. The digital music player is separate from the speech input device. The speech recognition processor compares the speech input to the commands in the command table and generates instructions if the speech input matches a command in the command table. A programmable controller is coupled to the speech recognition processor and is configured to receive instructions and to convert the instructions into control signals. The device includes a standard interface connector coupled to the programmable controller. The programmable controller sends the control signals through the standard interface connector.
