  • Patent number: 7584280
    Abstract: A system and method for multi-modal context-sensitive applications in a home network are provided. The system includes an input processing agent classifying inputs from a predetermined input device based on at least one criterion selected from the group consisting of an input block, an input type, a priority, and ranking and then outputting the classified inputs; an input collaboration agent performing real-time analysis on each of the inputs fed by the input processing agent to obtain a pre-defined output action for an input type corresponding to each input based on a user's context and performing a probabilistic inference on the inputs fed by the input processing agent to obtain a possible output action based on the user's context; and an agent server obtaining an output resource, which is available in the home network and corresponds to the user's context, based on the output action obtained by the input collaboration agent.
