Managing processor intensive commands by a controller
One example method of operation may include determining whether a received command will be locally processed by a control device, determining an audio stream is associated with the received command, forwarding the audio stream to a server, and forwarding an audio output to a termination device based on a processed audio stream.
1. A method, comprising:
identifying, by a control device, whether a command received by the control device will be locally processed by the control device;
determining, by the control device, that an audio stream is associated with the command;
in response to identifying that the command will not be locally processed, forwarding, by the control device, the audio stream to a server to generate a processed audio stream; and
forwarding, by the server, the processed audio stream to a termination device.
2. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
receiving a notification that the audio stream was processed by the server and forwarded to a termination device.
3. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
filtering the audio stream; and
transmitting the filtered audio stream to a loudspeaker identified by the control device.
4. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
forwarding a control device configuration to the server;
storing the control device configuration in memory.
5. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
determining an additional command received will be processed by the control device based on a type of the command.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein a type of the additional command is one or more of:
an additional command to modify a volume, an additional command to control an on or off status, and an additional command to terminate device selection.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the type of the command is a digital filtering procedure to perform to the audio stream.
8. A system, comprising
a control device configured to:
identify whether a command received by the control device will be locally processed by the control device,
determine that an audio stream is associated with the command, and
in response to an identification that the command will not be locally processed, forward the audio stream to a server, wherein the server is configured to:
generate a processed audio stream and to forward the processed audio stream, and
forward the processed audio stream to a termination device.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the control device is further configured to:
receive a notification that the audio stream was processed by the server and forwarded to a termination device.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the control device is further configured to:
filter the audio stream; and
transmit the filtered audio stream to a loudspeaker identified by the control device.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the control device is further configured to:
forward a control device configuration to the server;
store the control device configuration in memory.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the control device is further configured to:
determine an additional command received will be processed by the control device based on a type of the command.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein a type of the additional command is one or more of:
an additional command to modify a volume, an additional command to control an on or off status, and an additional command to terminate device selection.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the type of the command is a digital filtering procedure to perform to the audio stream.
15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform:
identifying, by a control device, whether a command received by the control device will be locally processed by the control device;
determining, by the control device, that an audio stream is associated with the command;
in response to identifying that the command will not be locally processed, forwarding, by the control device, the audio stream to a server to generate a processed audio stream; and
forwarding, by the server, the processed audio stream to a termination device.
16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to perform:
receiving a notification that the audio stream was processed by the server and forwarded to a termination device.
17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to perform:
filtering the audio stream; and
transmitting the filtered audio stream to a loudspeaker identified by the control device.
18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to perform:
forwarding a control device configuration to the server; and
storing the control device configuration in memory.
19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to perform:
determining an additional command received will be processed by the control device based on a type of the command.
20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein a type of the additional command is one or more of:
an additional command to modify a volume, an additional command to control an on or off status, and an additional command to terminate device selection.
