First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a control device, a voice input indicating a request to adjust a multimedia presentation characteristic;
determining, by the control device, an output control of a peripheral device external to the control device, the output control configured to adjust an output of the multimedia presentation characteristic at the peripheral device;
determining, by the control device and based on the received voice input and the output control, an amount to adjust the multimedia presentation characteristic at the peripheral device; and
transmitting, by the control device, a signal to the peripheral device, the signal configured to adjust the output of the multimedia presentation characteristic by the amount at the peripheral device.

Abstract
A method including: transmitting, by a control device, a first portion of content comprising a first portion of a signal corresponding to a multimedia presentation characteristic of a peripheral device; receiving, when an adjustment of the signal is below an adjustment threshold, a first instance of an input indicating a request to change the multimedia presentation characteristic; in response to receiving the first instance of the input, adjusting a second portion of the signal and transmitting a second portion of the content comprising the adjusted second portion of the signal; receiving, when the adjustment of the signal is at or above the adjustment threshold, a second instance of the input; and transmitting, in response to receiving the second instance of the input, a communication signal to the peripheral device to adjust a peripheral device control of an output of the multimedia presentation characteristic.

15. A control device comprising:
-
a voice input device; one or more processors; and one or more computer-readable storage media comprising instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to; receive, at the control device, a voice input at the voice input device, the voice input indicating a request to adjust a multimedia presentation characteristic; determine, by the control device, an output control of a peripheral device external to the control device, the output control configured to adjust an output of the multimedia presentation characteristic at the peripheral device; determine, by the control device and based on the received voice input and the control output, an amount to adjust the multimedia presentation characteristic at the peripheral device; and transmit, by the control device, a signal to the peripheral device, the signal configured to adjust the output of the multimedia presentation characteristic by the amount at the peripheral device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
