  • Patent number: 8200784
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide a system and method for transferring data between an unstructured data source and a structured destination. In one embodiment, graphical representations of a unstructured data source and a structured destination are presented to a user via a graphical user interface of a computer. Using the graphical user interface, the user can draw lines between the graphical representations to indicate how data from the unstructured data source should be associated with and transferred to the structured destination. The graphical representation of the unstructured data source may be generated using data extracted from a web based document. This data extraction can be done recursively and at least partially in parallel with retrieving files associated with hyperlinks within the web based document.

  • Patent number: 7600001
    Abstract: A system and method for transferring data between an unstructured data source and a structured destination. In one embodiment, data is transferred by extracting data from an unstructured data source, creating a graphical representation of the hierarchy of data within the unstructured data source, and graphical representation of the destination. Data is then transferred from the source to the destination based upon graphical associations between the representations of the source and destination.

  • Publication number: 20050043952
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for managing frequently used VoiceXML documents. In particular, a VoiceXML gateway is provided having an administrator-managed and provisioned local file system. Specifically, the administrator provisions the files that are to be stored on the local file system. Importantly, neither the VoiceXML interpreter nor the VoiceXML interpreter context manage the local file system. Accordingly, the local file system is not subject to the cache control directives that requires regular retransmission of frequently used VoiceXML documents and other files from the remote documents servers. To that end, administrator-provisioned files may be permanently stored on the local file system thereby minimizing their search and access time.
