Patent number: 7900186Abstract: Application development tools and method for building multi-channel, multi-device and multi-modal applications, and in particular, to systems and methods for developing applications whereby a user can interact in parallel with the same information via a multiplicity of channels and user interfaces, while a unified, synchronized views of the information are presented across the various channels or devices deployed by the user to interact with the information. In a preferred embodiment, application frameworks and development tools are preferably based on a MVC (Model-View-Controller) design paradigm that is adapted to provide synchronized multi-modal interactions. Multi-channel authoring can be developed using a similar methodology.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2005Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John M. Lucassen, Stephane H. Maes

Patent number: 7856600Abstract: A system and method is provided for integrating portlets. When viewing portlets within a portal container, a user is presented with a choice of one or more sources of data and, for each source, one or more actions that the user can take regarding the source. When an action is selected, it causes the source data to be transferred to one or more “target” portlets that have also been activated by the user. The set of actions available from a given source is automatically provided given the available target portlets. As each portlet is initialized, it informs a “broker” of the actions that the portlet supports along with the type of data that is used by the action. When a portal page is being constructed, each portlet identifies to the broker the sources of data within the portlet along with the values and data types corresponding to the sources.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2007Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Samar Choudhary, John M. Lucassen, Shankar Ramaswamy, Sai Gopala Rathnam, Amber Roy-Chowdhury, Douglass J. Wilson

Patent number: 5802251Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for reducing perplexity in a speech recognition system within a telephonic network based upon determined caller identity. In a speech recognition system which processes input frames of speech against stored templates representing speech, a core library of speech templates is created and stored representing a basic vocabulary of speech. Multiple caller-specific libraries of speech templates are also created and stored, each library containing speech templates which represent a specialized vocabulary and pronunciations for a specific geographic location and a particular individual. Additionally, the caller-specific libraries of speech templates are preferably processed to reflect the reduced bandwidth, transmission channel variations and other signal variations introduced into the system via a telephonic network.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 1995Date of Patent: September 1, 1998Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul S. Cohen, John M. Lucassen, Elton B. Sherwin, Jr., Jorge L. Vizcaino

Patent number: 5524169Abstract: A method and system for reducing perplexity in a speech recognition system based upon determined geographic location. In a mobile speech recognition system which processes input frames of speech against stored templates representing speech, a core library of speech templates is created and stored representing a basic vocabulary of speech. Multiple location-specific libraries of speech templates are also created and stored, each library containing speech templates representing a specialized vocabulary for a specific geographic location. The geographic location of the mobile speech recognition system is then periodically determined utilizing a cellular telephone system, a geopositioning satellite system or other similar systems and a particular one of the location-specific libraries of speech templates is identified for the current location of the system.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1993Date of Patent: June 4, 1996Assignee: International Business Machines IncorporatedInventors: Paul S. Cohen, John M. Lucassen, Roger M. Miller, Elton B. Sherwin, Jr.

Patent number: 5280562Abstract: In speech recognition and speech coding, the values of at least two features of an utterance are measured during a series of time intervals to produce a series of feature vector signals. A plurality of single-dimension prototype vector signals having only one parameter value are stored. At least two single-dimension prototype vector signals having parameter values representing first feature values, and at least two other single-dimension prototype vector signals have parameter values representing second feature values. A plurality of compound-dimension prototype vector signals have unique identification values and comprise one first-dimension and one second-dimension prototype vector signal. At least two compound-dimension prototype vector signals comprise the same first-dimension prototype vector signal. The feature values of each feature vector signal are compared to the parameter values of the compound-dimension prototype vector signals to obtain prototype match scores.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1991Date of Patent: January 18, 1994Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lalit R. Bahl, Jerome R. Bellegarda, Edward A. Epstein, John M. Lucassen, David Nahamoo, Michael A. Picheny
