Abstract: Systems and methods are described that include using quick response (QR) codes with mobile devices for providing interactive applications and services to a user via the mobile devices. Embodiments use a scanner in the mobile device to scan the QR code of an object. The QR code or data of the QR code is transferred from the mobile device to a specific URL. A selected multimedia object corresponding to the QR code is retrieved from the URL or a database. The selected multimedia object is transferred to the mobile device for playback.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating an interactive voice response (IVR) application from a state transition table and set of extensible markup language templates. Embodiments include representing an interactive student-computer dialog as a state transition table. The target interactive voice and video response (IVVR) markup language is encoded as a discrete set of extensible templates. The dialog states are mapped to IVVR markup language by selecting appropriate extensible templates and instantiating parameterized elements of each template with dialog state constituents. Embodiments organize the extended templates coherently and package the extended templates for deployment on an IVVR delivery platform.
