Abstract:
A set-top box with enhanced functionality and a system and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the set-top box, a housing secures a television input, a television output, a processor, memory, storage, an audio input unit, and an active sound control circuit portion interconnectively therein. The set-top box provides a visual prompt that is shown on the display. The set-top box utilizes the active sound control circuit portion to generate a processed audio signal by analyzing an external audio signal received at the audio input unit against an internal audio source signal component of a source signal to evaluate the processed audio signal for a spoken sequence of words to validate a meaning with respect to the visual prompt.

Claim (Index 1):
A set-top box comprising:\n a housing securing a television input, a television output, a processor, memory, storage, an audio input unit, and an active sound control circuit portion therein; a busing architecture communicatively interconnecting the television input, the television output, the processor, the memory, the storage, the audio input unit, and the active sound control circuit portion; the television input configured to receive a source signal from an external source, the source signal having a visual source signal component and an audio source signal component; the television output configured to forward a fully tuned audiovisual signal to a display and a speaker based on the source signal; and the memory accessible to the processor, the memory including processor-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:\n send via the television output to the display instructions for a visual prompt that is shown on the display, \n receive an external audio signal at the audio input unit, \n generate a sound cancellation signal based on the audio source signal component of the source signal, \n utilize the active sound control circuit portion to generate a processed audio signal by analyzing the external audio signal against the audio source signal component of the source signal, \n evaluate the processed audio signal for a spoken sequence of words to validate a meaning with respect to the visual prompt, and \n based on the validated meaning, generate a command signal.
