Patent number: 7827035Abstract: According to the present invention, a method for integrating processes with a multi-faceted human centered interface is provided. The interface is facilitated to implement a hands free, voice driven environment to control processes and applications. A natural language model is used to parse voice initiated commands and data, and to route those voice initiated inputs to the required applications or processes. The use of an intelligent context based parser allows the system to intelligently determine what processes are required to complete a task which is initiated using natural language. A single window environment provides an interface which is comfortable to the user by preventing the occurrence of distracting windows from appearing. The single window has a plurality of facets which allow distinct viewing areas. Each facet has an independent process routing its outputs thereto. As other processes are activated, each facet can reshape itself to bring a new process into one of the viewing areas.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2008Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Richard Grant, Pedro McGregor

Publication number: 20060216685Abstract: A method for learning that combines physical, verbal and visual interaction between a computer processing device (102) and a user. The method includes building an assessment matrix and generating an interactivity model for the user. The method also includes outputting one or more questions and associated answer choices to the user. The questions and answers can be outputted to a display device (202) of the computer processing device and/or to a speaker (202) of the computer processing device. The method further includes receiving an answer input from the user. Data associated with the answer input is processed by the computer processing device for building a user performance table. A response can be generated based on the answer input and in accordance with a verbal response mode (450). The response is then outputted to the display device and/or the speaker. Subsequently, the assessment matrix is modified to accommodate a level of expertise demonstrated by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2006Publication date: September 28, 2006Applicant: INTERACTIVE SPEECH SOLUTIONS, LLCInventors: John Brodie, Pedro McGregor
