Abstract: Controls are provided for a web server to generate client side markups that include recognition and/or audible prompting. The controls are organized in collections to obtain information pertaining to different topics. Each collection of controls create a separate dialog. In this manner, the collections can be selectively specified to execute the corresponding dialog.

Abstract: Web server controls are provided for generating client side markups with recognition and/or audible prompting. Three approaches are disclosed for implementation of the controls.

Abstract: Controls are provided for a web server to generate client side markups that include recognition and/or audible prompting. The controls comprise elements of a dialog such as a question, answer, confirmation, command or statement. A module forms a dialog by making use of the information carried in the controls.

Abstract: Controls are provided for a web server to generate client side markups that include recognition and/or audible prompting. The controls comprise elements of a dialog such as a question, answer, confirmation, command or statement. A module forms a dialog by making use of the information carried in the controls. The dialog follows a selected order of prompting and receiving input from a user as related to the order of the controls, and departs from the selected order as a function of responses from the user.

Abstract: Authored code executable on a server in a network based environment invokes APIs (application program interfaces) that are also adapted to be invoked in a non-distributed operating environment such that the authored code receives the same results and/or events as if executed on a server in the non-distributed operating environment.

The speech controls are adapted such that elements of the speech controls can be combined or re-used.

Abstract: A control system for a modular, mixed initiative, human-machine interface. The control system comprises moves, the moves defining units of interaction about a topic of information. The moves comprise at least one system move and at least one user move. Each system move is structured such that it contains information regarding pre-processing to be performed, information to develop a prompt to be issued to the user and information that enables possible user moves which can follow the system move to be listed. Each user move is structured such that it contains information relating to interpretation grammars that trigger the user move, information relating to processing to be performed based upon received and recognized data and information regarding the next move to be invoked. A corresponding method is provided.

Abstract: Web server controls are provided for generating client side markups with recognition and/or audible prompting to enable telephone call controls such as making, transferring and disconnecting telephone calls.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling an interactive human-machine interface, which includes an input device and comprises a set of states. The set of states form a network through which data can be passed as a token. In a dialogue control unit, future states are assessed to determine allowable user inputs that may be received from the user. Each portion of the user input is stored in an associated node of the token, for use in the current state or in another of the active states. Each node is checked to see if it relates to the current state, and if so, then the portion of the user input stored in the node is processed.
