US Patent:

7010490, Mar 7, 2006
Filed:

Jan 26, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/770577
Inventors:

Larry A. Brocious - Apalachin NY, US
Jonathan L. Gabel - Charlotte NC, US
David C. Loose - Austin TX, US
Ronald E. VanBuskirk - Louisville CO, US
Huifang Wang - Sunnyvale CA, US
Steven G. Woodward - Boca Raton FL, US
Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:

G10L 15/00
US Classification:

704275
Abstract:

A method and system for completing user input in a speech recognition system. The method can include a series of steps which can include receiving a user input. The user input can specify an attribute of a selection. The method can include comparing the user input with a set of selections in the speech recognition system. Also, the method can include limiting the set of selections to an available set of selections which can correspond to the received user input. The step of matching a received user spoken utterance with the selection in the available set of selections also can be included.

US Patent:

7240006, Jul 3, 2007
Filed:

Sep 27, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/670646
Inventors:

Larry A. Brocious - Apalachin NY, US
Michael J. Howland - Endicott NY, US
Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:

G10L 15/22
US Classification:

704270, 7042701, 704275
Abstract:

A generic way of encoding information needed by an application to register voice commands and enable a speech engine are used to tell a browser what to present to the user and what options are available to the user to interact with an application. This is accomplished by enhancements to a markup language which register and enable voice commands that are needed by an application to the speech engine, and provide an audio context for the page scope command by adding a context option to make the page much more flexible and usable. The action of the application can be altered based on the current audio context by adding a context option. The application remains independent of the browser and separate from interaction with the speech engine. The application can accommodate both verbal and visual interactions by registering the verbal commands and identifying to what those commands will translate.

US Patent:

20040064565, Apr 1, 2004
Filed:

Feb 6, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/068362
Inventors:

Virinder Batra - Chapel Hill NC, US
Valerie Bennett - Macon NC, US
Larry Brocious - Apalachin NY, US
Andrew Capella - Cary NC, US
Stephen Feustel - Endwell NY, US
Peter Gamble - Raleigh NC, US
Joseph Gdaniec - Vestal NY, US
James Hennessy - Endicott NY, US
Michael Howland - Endicott NY, US
Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:

G06F015/16
US Classification:

709/228000
Abstract:

A method of requesting location-based services using a rejection model. Responsive to receiving from a pervasive device a network request for location-based processing, the received network request can be stored prior to being forwarded to a selected location-based application. A rejection response to the forwarded network request can be received subsequently and a request for required location information can be identified in the rejection response. The required location information can be identified within the stored network request and a specific network request can be formulated with the required location information. Finally, the specific network request can be forwarded to the selected location-based application. The selected location-based application, in turn, can perform the requested location-based processing using the required location information provided in the specific network response.

US Patent:

6745163, Jun 1, 2004
Filed:

Sep 27, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/670800
Inventors:

Larry A. Brocious - Apalachin NY
Stephen V. Feustel - Endwell NY
James P. Hennessy - Endicott NY
Michael J. Howland - Endicott NY
Steven M. Pritko - Endicott NY
Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:

G10L 1300
US Classification:

704260, 707513
Abstract:

A system and method for a multi-modal browser/renderer that simultaneously renders content visually and verbally in a synchronized manner are provided without having the server applications change. The system and method receives a document via a computer network, parses the text in the document, provides an audible component associated with the text, simultaneously transmits to output the text and the audible component. The desired behavior for the renderer is that when some section of that content is being heard by the user, that section is visible on the screen and, furthermore, the specific visual content being audibly rendered is somehow highlighted visually. In addition, the invention also reacts to input from either the visual component or the aural component. The invention also allows any application or server to be accessible to someone via audio instead of visual means by having the browser handle the Embedded Browser Markup Language (EBML) disclosed herein so that it is audibly read to the user. Existing EBML statements can also be combined so that what is audibly read to the user is related to, but not identical to, the EBML text.
