Problems solved by technology

Although these alternate sources of programming and programming related content have given the consumer more choices and improved the viewing experience, the sheer number of programming and programming related content can be sometimes not only overwhelming to some viewers but can prove difficult to navigate, to discover and retrieve suitable content.
That is, the conventional process of selecting different sources and channel surfing via a remote device connected to the set-top box can at the very least be challenging, time-consuming and frustrating to t

Embodiment Construction

[0026]The following detailed description of the invention is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the invention or the application and uses of the invention. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any theory presented in the preceding background or the following detailed description.

[0027]According to various embodiments, a set-top box (STB) or other television receiver device provides an integrated content management service (ICMS) that focuses on particular television programs that are available, rather than the content or related data for channels, networks or other sources of programming. The viewer selects a program for viewing and then surfs an EPG to find a particular channel or program. The STB obtains the selected program from whatever source may be available to the STB, including broadcast sources (e.g., cable, DBS, terrestrial broadcasts), stored content (e.g., content stored in a DVR), content available from video on demand (VOD) services, a...

Abstract

Systems, and methods are described to provide voice search in an elastic cloud environment communicating with a set-top box (STB) by receiving by a voice cloud search server pulse-code modulation (PCM) audio packets transmitted from the STB; sending the PCM audio packets to a natural language processing (NLP) service for converting to text; sending the text sets to an elastic voice cloud search server for querying an electronic program guide (EPG) service, channel and program data associated with the text sets wherein the EPG service to at least return identified channel and program data; in response to an identified return of channel and television program data, sending sets of text to a third-party search service for performing an independent search for related data and returning search results of video and image content which is then stripped of dynamic scripts to return to the STB.
