摘要： A remote tuner control system for responding to command signals transmitted by a user on a full-duplex communication channel. The tuner control system comprises a tone decoder coupled to the communication channel for conversion of pushbutton telephone tones generated by a user to binary numeric data; a tuner for reception of local audio broadcast radio signals; a speech generator for generating audio speech command menus and command acknowledgements; an output selector assembly coupled to the tuner and to the speech generator adapted for selection of audio information returned to the user; and an input/output interface assembly coupled to the tuner and output selector assembly. The input/output interface assembly is adapted to control reception frequency of the tuner and output selection of the output selector assembly and is coupled to a processor, the speech generator and tone decoder. The processor is adapted to receive the binary numeric data from the tone decoder and control the input/output interface assembly and speech generator in response to the binary numeric data from the tone decoder.

摘要： Herein described are at least a method and a system for providing an extended forecast of scheduled video programming information provided by a multimedia provider. The extended forecast processes electronic program data (EPG) provided by the multimedia provider, such that a long term program guide (LTPG) may be developed. The LTPG provides a forecast of programs to be broadcasted that extends beyond what the EPG may provide. The method generates the LTPG by utilizing algorithms that compare newly received EPG data against historically processed EPG data. The system comprises a controller, a processor used for extracting EPG data from a signal, a memory that stores software, and a remote sensor capable of receiving signals transmitted by a remote control. When executed by the controller, the software implements the algorithms that generate the LTPG.
