Abstract: A method and system for accomplishing closed-loop transaction processing in conjunction with interactive, real-time, voice transmission of information to a user is disclosed. A voice-based communication between a user and a first system is established and a report is transmitted to the user. The report might comprise information and at least one request for user input based on said information. In response to the report, the user can request a transaction based on said information. The requested transaction is completed automatically by connecting to a second system for processing.

Abstract: A system and method for the creation and automatic deployment of personalized, dynamic and interactive voice services, including information derived from on-line analytical processing (OLAP) systems and other data repositories is disclosed. The system and method includes the ability to deploy personalized voice services through a live or recorded personalized broadcast. In particular, the system and method access personalized information and generate personalized markup documents from the personalized information. The personalized markup document is converted to a form that is suitable for over-air transmission and transmitted to a subscriber of the voice service.

Abstract: A method and system for telephone-based service utilization and control in conjunction with interactive, real-time, voice transmission of information to a user is disclosed. A voice service system provides creation and automatic deployment of personalized, dynamic and interactive voice services, including information derived from on-line analytical processing (OLAP) systems and other data repositories. In conjunction with such services, a user may use a telephone to control such services. For example, the user may subscribe and unsubscribe to a service using the telephone, be notified of new services via the telephone, and retrieve sound files via the telephone.

Abstract: A system and method for creation and automatic deployment of personalized, dynamic and interactive voice services, including information derived from on-line analytical processing (OLAP) systems is disclosed. The system and method include a call server and a method for initiating telephone calls using on the fly content and speech generation.

Abstract: A voice-enabled markup language system an N-best filter element that generates unverified possible matches to the utterance for verification to the user during an interactive voice dialog. Such an element is used when a large number of possible utterances may be made in response to an input request or similarly-sounding utterances are possible. The element in the markup language provides the structure used by a call server to dialog with the user.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system and method for creation and automatic deployment of personalized, dynamic and interactive voice services, including information derived from on-line analytical processing (OLAP) systems and other data repositories. More specifically, the invention relates to a system and method that enable personalized delivery of information in real-time, via natural language voice communication with a voice-enabled terminal device. The system and method combines personalized information broadcast technology with an active voice page. An active voice page is created by the system, stored in a call database and used to generate dynamic voice menus. A call server retrieves the AVP from the call database and delivers the content of the service by dialing a subscriber's telephone number, speaking message text to the subscriber and recording the subscriber's input in response to the call menus. A unique AVP is generated for each subscriber scheduled to receive voice service content.

Abstract: The delivery of voice serve messages communicating financial, personal or other news telecasts may be customized according to the identity of the recipient and controlled by voice commands. A voice service bureau may generate voice messages for individual subscribers according to their preselected interest and needs. For instance, a financial bulletin may be abbreviated from “Your portfolio has declined by 5% this morning, do you want to sell” The subscriber may be identified using voice-activated PIN or other information, or be authenticated using voice recognition.

Abstract: A method and system for accomplishing real-time drilling in conjunction with interactive, real-time, voice transmission of information to a user is disclosed. A voice-based communication between a user and a first system is established and a report is transmitted to the user. The report might comprise information and at least one request for user input based on said information. In response to the report, the user can request that additional information be drawn from the report via drilling. The requested information is extracted from the original report in real-time.

Abstract: A method and system for accomplishing real-time queries in conjunction with interactive, real-time, voice transmission of information to a user is disclosed. A voice-based communication between a user and a first system is established and a report is transmitted to the user. The report might comprise information and at least one request for user input based on said information. In response to the report, the user can request that additional queries be run against database or other data repository. The requested is drawn from the database automatically, in real-time by connecting to the database.

Abstract: The interactive delivery of voice serve messages communicating financial, personal or other news telecasts can be accessed at a subscriber's convenience on an inbound telephone, network enabled or other call. A voice service bureau may generate voice messages for individual subscribers according to their natural language queries. For instance, a subscriber may inquire “What was the closing Dow today” and the system converts the request to digital form, discriminates search terms, interrogates a database and annunciates to the call “The closing Dow was 11,000 today”. Responses to those or other inquiries may be delivered in real time or substantially real time.
