System and method for a centralized intelligence network

Abstract

A system and method for a centralized intelligence network are presented. A user connects to a control gateway. The control gateway is configured to access a control module. The control module is configured to perform at least one operation associated with the user device. The control module performs the operation. The control gateway sends, to the user device, information based on the performed operation. Accordingly, control modules may assist user devices in providing functions for a user.

         28 . An apparatus capable of being used in association with at least one control module, a telephone device, at least one wireless network, a local area network, at least one video device, and multiple devices, the apparatus comprising:
 at least one control gateway capable of controlling via the at least one wireless network the multiple devices based upon input associated with the telephone device, the multiple devices including the at least one video device;   the at least one control gateway being capable of receiving, via the local area network, corresponding input that corresponds to the input associated with the telephone device;   the input associated with the telephone device being to control accessing of video data associated with at least one video device; and   the at least one control module being capable of controlling, based upon the input associated with the telephone device, video recording associated with the at least one video device.   
     
     
         29 . The apparatus of  claim 28 , wherein:
 the at least one control module is a software module.   
     
     
         30 . The apparatus of  claim 28 , wherein:
 the telephone device is capable of voice recognition.   
     
     
         31 . The apparatus of  claim 28 , wherein:
 the telephone device is capable of operating as a videophone.   
     
     
         32 . The apparatus of  claim 28 , wherein:
 the at least one video device is capable of registering with at least one control gateway to permit the at least one control gateway to control the at least one video device.   
     
     
         33 . The apparatus of  claim 28 , wherein:
 the at least one module is capable of invoking, via the at least one control gateway, at least one function to be performed by the at least one video device.   
     
     
         34 . The apparatus of  claim 28 , wherein:
 the at least one video feed is a program feed associated with a cable service provider.   
     
     
         35 . The apparatus of  claim 28 , wherein:
 other video data associated with the video recording is to be transmitted via the at least one control gateway.   
     
     
         36 . The apparatus of  claim 28 , wherein:
 the video recording is to be associated with a remote server.   
     
     
         37 . The apparatus of  claim 28 , wherein:
 the video recording is to occur at the at least one video device.
