Controlling a set-top box for program guide information using remote speech recognition grammars via session initiation protocol (SIP) over a Wi-Fi channel
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, via a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) session over a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) channel, a digital audio signal from a remote control configured to receive audible information;
terminating, responsive to receiving the digital audio signal, the SIP session;
converting, at an audio processor, the digital audio signal into text based on a number of speech grammars corresponding to program guide information;
obtaining, using the program guide information, a matching set of program guide entries related to the text to determine command information corresponding to the audible information;
sending, via hypertext transfer protocol or file transfer protocol, the command information to a set-top box; and
generating, at the set-top box responsive to receiving the command information, a display indicative of the matching set.

11. A system comprising:
-
a set-top box; a remote control including; a communication interface configured to transmit an infrared signal to the set-top box, a microphone configured to receive audible information, an audio processor configured to generate digital audio signals from the audible information, and a wireless network interface configured to transmit the digital audio signals; a voice application facility, in wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) communication with the remote control via the wireless network interface, configured to; receive the digital audio signals from the remote control via a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) session, terminate the SIP session responsive to the received digitals audio signals, and convert the digital audio signals into text; and a content provider device, in communication with the set-top box and the voice application facility, wherein the content provider device is configured to provide media content programming and program guide information, wherein the voice application facility is further configured to convert the digital audio signals into text based on speech grammars generated from the program guide information to determine command information corresponding to the audible information, and wherein the content provider device is further configured to receive the command information from the voice application facility and provide the command information to the set-top box. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising computer-executable instructions for causing one or more processors executing the computer-executable instructions to:
-
receive, via a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) session over a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) channel, a digital audio signal from a remote control configured to receive audible information; terminate the SIP session responsive to the received digital audio signal; convert, at an audio processor, the digital audio signal into text based on a number of speech grammars corresponding to program guide information; obtain, using the program guide information, a matching set of program guide entries related to the text to determine command information corresponding to the audible information; send, via hypertext transfer protocol or file transfer protocol, the command information to a set-top box; and generate, at the set-top box responsive to the received command information, a display indicative of the matching set.
