Appl. No.:

10/945119

Inventors:

David Jaramillo - Lake Worth FL, US
Marc White - Boca Raton FL, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G10L 15/22

US Classification:

7042701

Abstract:

A method for inputting graphical data into a graphical input field includes initiating an input of graphical data via a graphical input device into the graphical input field, and actuating a voice-form module in response to initiating the input of graphical data. Actuating the voice-form module includes actuating a first voice-form function for capturing an initial value corresponding to the graphical input field and actuating a second voice-form function based upon a final value corresponding to the graphical input field. The first voice-form function initiates a timing function for polling the graphical input field at a predefined interval to determine subsequent values corresponding to the graphical input field in order to determine whether the input of graphical data into the graphical input field is complete. The second voice-form function determines whether the final value corresponding to the graphical input field is contained within a predefined set of valid values.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717109, 704270

Abstract:

A method to facilitate programming of multimodal access. The method can include receiving a user input request to voice-enable at least one graphical user interface (GUI) component defined in visual markup code, receiving a user input selecting at least one voice component, and a user input specifying a selected grammar syntax. Responsive to the user inputs, voice markup code corresponding to the selected voice component can be automatically generated and the voice markup code can be automatically linked to the GUI component.

US Classification:

704275, 704270, 7042701

Abstract:

A method for enhancing voice interactions within a portable multimodal computing device using visual messages. A multimodal interface can be provided that includes an audio interface and a visual interface. A speech input can then be received and a voice recognition task can be performed upon at least a portion of the speech input. At least one message within the multimodal interface can be visually presented, wherein the message is a prompt for the speech input and/or a confirmation of the speech input.

US Classification:

704270, 704275, 704258, 704260, 704231

Abstract:

A multimodal browser for rendering a multimodal document on an end system defining a host can include a visual browser component for rendering visual content, if any, of the multimodal document, and a voice browser component for rendering voice-based content, if any, of the multimodal document. The voice browser component can determine which of a plurality of speech processing configuration is used by the host in rendering the voice-based content. The determination can be based upon the resources of the host running the application. The determination also can be based upon a processing instruction contained in the application.

Marc White - Boca Raton FL, US

Assignee:

Nuance Communications, Inc. - Burlington MA

International Classification:

G10L 21/06

US Classification:

7042701

Abstract:

A method of obtaining information using a mobile device can include receiving a request including speech data from the mobile device, and querying a network service using query information extracted from the speech data, whereby search results are received from the network service. The search results can be formatted for presentation on a display of the mobile device. The search results further can be sent, along with a voice grammar generated from the search results, to the mobile device. The mobile device then can render the search results.

US Classification:

704275, 704270, 7042701

Abstract:

Dynamically generating a vocal help prompt in a multimodal application that include detecting a help-triggering event for an input element of a VoiceXML dialog, where the detecting is implemented with a multimodal application operating on a multimodal device supporting multiple modes of interaction including a voice mode and one or more non-voice modes, the multimodal application is operatively coupled to a VoiceXML interpreter, and the multimodal application has no static help text. Dynamically generating a vocal help prompt in a multimodal application according to embodiments of the present invention typically also includes retrieving, by the VoiceXML interpreter from a source of help text, help text for an element of a speech recognition grammar, forming by the VoiceXML interpreter the help text into a vocal help prompt, and presenting by the multimodal application the vocal help prompt through a computer user interface to a user.
