Abstract: A mobile system is provided that includes speech-based and non-speech-based interfaces for telematics applications. The mobile system identifies and uses context, prior information, domain knowledge, and user specific profile data to achieve a natural environment for users that submit requests and/or commands in multiple domains. The invention creates, stores and uses extensive personal profile information for each user, thereby improving the reliability of determining the context and presenting the expected results for a particular question or command. The invention may organize domain specific behavior and information into agents, that are distributable or updateable over a wide area network.

Abstract: A method and system for locking a defined portion of the live mathematical document. A live mathematical document program, executed on a computer processor, allows a user to edit a live mathematical document and also processes the document. The user can enter mathematical expressions in any position in the live mathematical document. The program automatically updates the live mathematical document to ensure that all expressions are consistent with all expressions upon which they depend. The user can position a first boundary line and a second boundary line in the live mathematical document. The program locks an area on the live mathematical document, the locked area being the area between the first boundary line and the second boundary line. An editor allows editing of expressions in the live mathematical document, and ascertains whether an edit is within the locked area and disallows such edits.
