  • Patent number: 7269562
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for exposing complete call flow speech components to users via Web services that are called by converged voice-Web server applications. The Web service call flow speech components may be accessed by application server pages resident on a Web server and accessible through either a telephony environment or a data network environment, such as the Internet. The Web service call flow speech objects automatically generate the appropriate speech access formatting into the corresponding server application page. By removing the speech component programming from development of the application server page, the representative embodiments expand the potential use of multimodal and or converged voice-Web applications and devices.

  • Patent number: 6412106
    Abstract: A system and method for graphically debugging a computer program is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, a graphical debugging environment is provided, which is capable of displaying a graphical representation of an application program to be debugged. Thereafter, the graphical debugging environment allows a user to insert debugging tools, such as breakpoints, directly into the graphical representation of the application program. Thus, a user is not required to interact with the textual source code of an application program when debugging it. The graphical debugging environment may display indicators illustrating where debug tools have been inserted within the application program. In a preferred embodiment, the graphical debugging environment allows a user to perform debugging during an application program's runtime. Thus, a user is not required to halt an application program prior to debugging it.
