  • Systems and methods for managing and building directed dialogue portal applications
    Patent number: 7395206
    Abstract: A directed dialogue portal system management scheme is disclosed, providing a manager application layer over portal system managed applications. The manager application layer may include a global grammar (e.g., the grammar of each managed application) and each managed application may inherit behaviors of the manager application. Responses to prompts received by a first managed application that are unrecognized or are directed to a second managed application are sent to the manager application. The manager application sends the response to the second application. The scheme is transparent to the user and, from the user's perspective, a user is able to directly access any application or services in a directed dialogue portal system from other locations in the system.
