Controlling audio video display device (AVDD) tuning using channel name

1. An audio video display device (AVDD) comprising:

at least one processor configured to communicate with at least one video display;

at least one computer readable storage medium with instructions executable by the processor to configure the processor to:

enable voice command control of the AVDD;

receive a voice command from a person;

determine whether the voice command matches a channel name;

responsive to determining that the voice command matches a channel name;

configure an electronic program guide (EPG) to present on the display metadata associated with the channel name, or

tune the AVDD to the channel number correlated to the channel name; and

responsive to a determination that the voice command does not match a channel name, determine whether the voice command indicates an input device, the input device configured for communicating video content to the AVDD, and responsive to a determination that the voice command indicates an input device, automatically configure the AVDD to present video from the input device.

2. The AVDD of claim 1 , wherein the instructions when executed by the processor configure the processor to, responsive to a determination that the same channel name is repeated by a person plural times, cause the AVDD to tune to successive channel numbers correlated to the channel name.

3. The AVDD of claim 1 , wherein the voice command is determined to match an input source name.

4. The AVDD of claim 1 , wherein the voice command is determined to match an input source task.

5. The AVDD of claim 1 , wherein the first channel number is the predetermined preferred one of the first and second channel numbers by virtue of being a high definition channel.

6. The AVDD of claim 1 , wherein the first channel number is the predetermined preferred one of the first and second channel numbers by virtue of being the first channel number as between the first and second channel numbers on a channel list.

7. The AVDD of claim 1 , wherein the instructions when executed by the processor configure the processor to correlate a channel name established by a voice command to a channel number by accessing metadata carried in a television signal.

8. The AVDD of claim 1 , wherein the instructions when executed by the processor configure the processor to:

responsive to determining that the voice command matches a channel name, determine whether an electronic program guide (EPG) is being presented on the display;

responsive to determining that the EPG is being presented on the display, configure the EPG to present on the display metadata associated with the channel name.

9. The AVDD of claim 8 , wherein the instructions when executed by the processor configure the processor to:

responsive to determining that no EPG is being presented on the display, determine whether the channel name matching the voice command correlates to more than a single channel number;

responsive to determining that the channel name correlates to only a single channel number, tune the AVDD to the channel number correlated to the channel name; and

responsive to determining that the channel name correlates to at least first and second channel numbers, tune to a predetermined preferred one of the first and second channel numbers.

10. A device comprising:

at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium with instructions executable by at least one processor to configure the processor to:

receive a voice command from a person;

determine if the voice command matches a channel name;

responsive to determining that the voice command matches a channel name, determine if the channel name correlates to at least a first channel number and a second channel number;

responsive to determining that the channel name correlates to at least the first and second channel numbers, tune to a predetermined preferred one of the first and second channel numbers; and

responsive to a determination that the voice command does not match a channel name, determine if the voice command indicates an input device, the input device configured for communicating with the AVDD, and responsive to a determination that the voice command indicates an input device communicating with the AVDD, automatically configure the AVDD to present video from the input device indicated by the voice command.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions when executed by the processor configure the processor to, responsive to detecting a trigger phrase spoken by a person, enable voice command control of the AVDD.

12. The device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions when executed by the processor configure the processor to provide visible indication on the display indicating that voice command control is enabled.

13. The device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions when executed by the processor configure the processor to:

determine if an electronic program guide (EPG) is being presented on the display; and

responsive to determining that the EPG is being presented on the display, configure the EPG to present on the display metadata associated with the channel name.

14. The device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions when executed by the processor configure the processor to, responsive to a determination that the same channel name is repeated by a person plural times, cause the AVDD to tune to successive channel numbers correlated to the channel name.

15. The device of claim 10 , wherein the command represents an input source name or an input source task or both an input source name and an input source task.

16. The device of claim 10 , wherein the first channel number is the predetermined preferred one of the first and second channel numbers by virtue of being a high definition channel.

17. The device of claim 10 , wherein the first channel number is the predetermined preferred one of the first and second channel numbers by virtue of being the first channel number as between the first and second channel numbers on a channel list.

18. Method comprising:

responsive to receiving an audible voice command, converting the voice command using speech recognition software to a computer-understandable voice command;

determining if the computer-understandable voice command matches a channel name;

responsive to determining that the computer-understandable voice command matches a channel name,

tuning an audio video display device (AVDD) to a channel number corresponding to the channel name, and responsive to determining that the voice command does not match a channel name, determining whether the voice command matches an input device, and responsive to a determination that the voice command indicates an input device the method automatically configures the AVDD to present video from the input device.

19. The method of claim 18 , comprising, responsive to determining that an electronic program guide (EPG) is being presented on the AVDD when the voice command is received and that the computer-understandable voice command matches a channel name, configuring the EPG to automatically present visible metadata associated with the channel name.

20. The method of claim 18 , comprising:

responsive to determining that the computer-understandable voice command matches a channel name, determining if the channel name correlates to at least first and second channel numbers, the first channel number being predefined to be preferred over the second channel number; and

responsive to determining that the channel name correlates to at least first and second channel numbers, tuning the AVDD to the first channel number.
