Embodiments of the present invention improve interactive audio task execution in mobile systems such as vehicles, for example. In one embodiment, task interrupt handling is provided to allow user's to resume task execution at or near the point in the task where the interrupt occurred. In one embodiment, a user's confidence that secondary tasks are being performed accurately is improved by providing confirmation and help for users to be more accurate on their secondary tasks. Accordingly, users can increase their confidence and trust in the system and focus more attention on primary tasks, such as driving a vehicle. Some embodiments of the invention further provide for more comprehensive confirmation following an interruption.

Interactive audio task system with interrupt recovery and confirmations

Embodiments of the present invention provide improved event handling between systems. In one embodiment, the present invention includes software event handling method comprising receiving a first event from a first source system in a plurality of source systems, the first event including event information, accessing context information corresponding to the first event, generating a second event based on at least a portion of the event information and context information using one or more rules, assigning a priority to the second event, and sending the second event to a first target system in a plurality of target systems.

Context based event handling and execution with prioritization and interrupt management

Embodiments of the present invention improve information exchange, and in particular, the exchange of data objects between different software systems. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method of exchanging information comprising receiving a first transport request, the transport request comprising one or more first transport attributes, wherein the one or more first transport attributes are associated with a first data object, storing the one or more first transport attributes and the first data object or a reference to the first data object in a repository, receiving a second transport request, the second transport request comprising one or more second transport attributes, and executing an algorithm for generating a response to the second transport request based on the first or second transport attributes.

Systems and methods for information exchange using object warehousing

Method and systems to voice-enable a user interface using a voice extension module are provided. A voice extension module includes a preprocessor, a speech recognition engine, and an input handler. The voice extension module receives user interface information, such as, a hypertext markup language (HTML) document, and voice-enables the document so that a user may interact with any user interface elements using voice commands.

Adapting a user interface for voice control

A method and apparatus for providing speech control to a graphical user interface (GUI) divide a GUI into a plurality of screen areas; assign the screen areas priorities; receive a first audio input relating to the selection of one of the objects in the interface; determine the one of the screen areas having the highest priority and including a first object matching the first audio input; and select the first object in the determined screen area if the determined screen area only contains one object matching the first audio input. The method and apparatus also select one of the objects that matches the first audio input in the determined screen area if the determined screen area contains more than one object that matches the first audio input.
