Abstract: As audio (1) is input to an extension of a browser, the extension transmits the audio (1) to a language processing server. A speech recognition unit obtains a text (1) corresponding to the audio (1), and transmits the text (1) to a natural language understanding unit. In the natural language understanding unit, an information processing unit identifies a URL (1) corresponding to the text (1), and transmits the URL (1) to the browser. The extension passes the URL (1) to a browsing function. The browsing function uses the URL (1) to access a web server. The web server transmits a web page (1) corresponding to the URL (1) to the browser. The browsing function shows a screen corresponding to the web page (1) on a display.

Abstract: A method and system for implementing a speech-enabled interface of a host device via an electronic mobile device in a network are provided. The method includes establishing a communication session between the host device and the mobile device via a session service provider. According to some embodiments, a barcode can be adopted to enable the pairing of the host device and mobile device. Furthermore, the present method and system employ the voice interface in conjunction with speech recognition systems and natural language processing to interpret voice input for the hosting device, which can be used to perform one or more actions related to the hosting device.

Abstract: A computer system uses simplified device drivers for operating hardware devices. A simplified device driver for a hardware device of a given device type, such as a flatbed scanner, works with a system-supplied common driver for that given device type. The common driver and the simplified driver together function like a regular device driver. The simplified device driver implements a small number of entry point functions corresponding to a pre-selected set of operation commands “generic” to hardware devices of that given device type. When an application makes a request for an operation by the device, the request is passed through a device driver interface (DDI) to the common driver. The common driver then calls the entry point functions in the simplified device driver to carry out the requested operation.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for facilitating communication between a computing device and a network scanner upon discovery of the network scanner. The system includes a driver having an operating system communication layer and a scanning profile communication layer, the scanning profile communication layer implementing a zero configuration device network architecture. The driver includes a translation mechanism for translating information between a scanning communication protocol of the scanning profile communication layer and an operating system communication mode of the operating system communication layer. The driver may further include a scanning command module for transferring scanning commands from the driver to the network scanning device and a data handler for opening a communication channel between the driver and the scanner and transmitting scan data over the communication channel.
