First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for accessing media comprising:
- generating a query at a portable communication device, the query for video media and based on a first received tactile input and parsed text based on a first received audio input;
transmitting the query to a multimodal portal;
receiving a text response in response to the query, the text response identifying video media based on the query;
transmitting a request for additional information related to the text response based on a second tactile input;
receiving the additional information based on the request for additional information; and
transmitting a command to transmit video to a device in response to a third tactile input and a second received audio input.

Abstract
A portable communication device has a touch screen display that receives tactile input and a microphone that receives audio input. The portable communication device initiates a query for media based at least in part on tactile input and audio input. The touch screen display is a multi-touch screen. The portable communication device sends an initiated query and receives a text response indicative of a speech to text conversion of the query. The portable communication device then displays video in response to tactile input and audio input.

5. An apparatus for accessing media comprising:
-
a touch screen display adapted to receive tactile input; a microphone adapted to receive audio input; a memory storing computer program instructions; a processor communicatively coupled to the touch screen display, the microphone, and the memory, the processor configured to execute the computer program instructions, which, when executed on the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising; generating a query for video media, the query based on a first received tactile input and parsed text based on a first received audio input; transmitting the query to a multimodal portal; receiving a text response in response to the query, the text response identifying video media based on the query; transmitting a request for additional information related to the text response based on a second tactile input; receiving the additional information based on the request for additional information; and transmitting a command to transmit video to a device in response to a third tactile input and a second received audio input. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A method of accessing media, the method comprising:
-
receiving a query for video media at a multimodal portal, the query based on a first tactile input received at a portable communication device and parsed text based on a first audio input received at the portable communication device; querying a database based on the query; sending a text response identifying video media, the text response based on results of querying the database; receiving a request for additional information related to the text response based on a second tactile input received at the portable communication device; transmitting the additional information based on the request for additional information; and receiving a command to transmit video to a device in response to a third tactile input and a second audio input. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
