Patent number: 8185394Abstract: A method for providing access to data via a voice interface. In one embodiment, the system includes a voice recognition unit and a speech processing server that work together to enable users to interact with the system using voice commands guided by navigation context sensitive voice prompts, and provide user-requested data in a verbalized format back to the users. Digitized voice waveform data are processed to determine the voice commands of the user. The system also uses a “grammar” that enables users to retrieve data using intuitive natural language speech queries. In response to such a query, a corresponding data query is generated by the system to retrieve one or more data sets corresponding to the query. The user is then enabled to browse the data that are returned through voice command navigation, wherein the system “reads” the data back to the user using text-to-speech (TTS) conversion and system prompts.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2008Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Siebel Systems, Inc.Inventors: Shannon Jones, Richard Gorman, Jesse Ambrose, Joseph Harb, Chris Haven

Publication number: 20070222589Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium is described for analyzing information to assist security personnel in identifying security threats. In some situations, various threat trend analyses are used to identify trends in various security-related information, and trend analysis information may then be presented to appropriate users (e.g., via displayed graphical charts). In a similar manner, in some situations various types of threat alerts are used to notify appropriate personnel when current conditions trigger the alert, such as in a real-time manner. In some situations, the trend analyses and alerts are selected for a user based on a current role of the user, and in some situations the information about a possible security threat is provided to various security personnel that are determined to be appropriate for the information, such as security personnel in affected geographical locations or that have capabilities related to preventing or addressing such threats.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2002Publication date: September 27, 2007Inventors: Richard Gorman, Edward Abbo, Anthony Butitta
