  • Patent number: 11741314
    Abstract: A system and method for operating the same includes a language processing module generating a search request text signal and determining identified data from the search request text signal. A search module generates search results in response to the search request text signal. A dialog manager classifies the search request text signal into a response classification associated with a plurality of templates, selects a first template from the plurality of templates in response to the response classification and corrects search results in response to the identified data and the template to form a corrected response signal. A device receives and displays the corrected response signal.

  • Patent number: 9538114
    Abstract: A system includes a voice converter converting a first voice command into a first electrical command and a command library having library contents. A language responsiveness module (LRM) stores the first electrical command in a temporary set when a first control command cannot be determined from the library contents. A voice prompt module receives a second voice command when the first control command cannot be determined from the library contents. The voice converter converts a second voice command into a second electrical command corresponding to the second voice command. The LRM compares the second electrical command to the command library. The LRM determines a second control command corresponding to the second electrical command in response to comparing the second voice command to the command library and stores the first voice command in the command library after determining the control command corresponding to the second voice command.

  • Patent number: 9414004
    Abstract: A system and method for operating the same includes a conversation manager that receives a receiving a first search request and, after receiving the first search request, receives a second search request. The system also includes a classifier module within the conversation manager classifying the first search request relative to the second search request as related or not related. A context merger module within the classifier module combines the first search request and the second search request to form a merged search request. A search module performs a second search based on the merged search request.

  • Patent number: 8928637
    Abstract: Method and system for generating and processing multiple independent input data streams based on a high priority OS message framework such as an OS provided framework for processing mouse-messages. Multiple input devices generate motion that is sensed by motion sensors located on one or more motion sources, quantify the sensed motion, and provide resulting input data to a computer via one or more communication ports. One or more software subroutines process the provided data, separating them into multiple independent input streams according to their sources, and sending the streams to listening applications. The subroutines are preferably integrated at a low level of the OS architecture, thereby enabling low-latency, fully-functional high priority processing of the input data.

  • Patent number: 8671211
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling a communication system includes a local area network, a first client device and a first server device in communication with the first client device through the local area network. The first server device communicates an audio-visual stream and remote user interface data to the first client device through the local area network. The first client device renders a display using the audio-video stream and the remote user interface. The first client device generates a key command and communicates the key command to the first server device in response to the remote user interface data.

  • Patent number: 7928959
    Abstract: The implementation of a unique system for creating multiple independent computer inputs is described. The system utilizes interactive mouse hooks, raw input information, and subroutines for generating tagged windows mouse messages. Such tagged windows mouse messages are coupled with a cursor rendering application to generate second, third, or more independent cursors or control points. In addition, the system generates mouse input stream and discerns it from the hardware-generated input stream. The system-generated mouse input stream is further utilized in graphical user interface.

  • Publication number: 20060250352
    Abstract: Three implementations of a novel method for improved cursor functionality are described: “Instant Navigator”, “Grid”, and “Phantom Cursor”. In “Instant Navigator”, two menu bars are generated for fast and easy access to various applications and actions within a certain application. In “Grid”, cursor moves along a grid line, e.g. only along the vertical and the horizontal directions. In “Phantom Cursor”, objects surrounding the system cursor are selected and highlighted as if there is a second cursor. These inventions will increase the speed of computation and execution greatly. Another implementation of a novel method for generating tagged windows mouse messages is described herein. Such tagged windows mouse messages are coupled with a cursor rendering application to generate second, third, or more independent cursors or control points.
