Handling Large Amounts of Media
Content
It is expected that large amounts of
media content will be brought into the
vehicle. It may be necessary to handle
large amounts of media content in a
different way than smaller amounts of
media. The system may limit the
options of voice recognition by not
allowing selection of files by voice at
the highest level if the number of files
exceeds the maximum limit.
Changes to voice commands due to
media content limits are:.Files including other individual files
of all media types such as songs,
audiobook chapters, podcast
episodes, and videos.
.Album type folders including types
such as albums and audiobooks.
There are no restrictions if the
number of files and albums is fewer
than 12,000. When the number of files
connected to the system is between
12,000 and 24,000, the content cannot
be accessed directly with one
command like “Play
The restriction is that the command
“Play Song” must be spoken first; the
system will then ask for the song
name. The reply command would be
to say the name of the song to play.
Similar limits exist for album content.
If there are more than 12,000 albums,
but fewer than 24,000, the content
cannot be accessed directly with one
command like, “Play
The command “Play Album”must first
be spoken; the system will then ask
for the album name. The reply would
be to say the name of the album
to play.

176 INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
Once the number of files has exceeded
approximately 24,000, there is no
support for accessing the songs
directly through voice commands.
There will still be access to the media
content by using commands for
playlists, artists, and genres.
The access commands for playlists,
artists, and genres are prohibited after
the number of this type of media
exceeds 12,000.
The system will provide feedback the
first time voice recognition is initiated
if it has become apparent that any of
these limits are reached during a
device initializing process.
Voice recognition performance will
degrade to some extent based on
many factors when adding large
amounts of data to recognize. If this is
the case, perhaps accessing songs
through playlists or artist name would
work better.
