A method for multi-tenant authorization includes receiving, from a user account of a multi-tenant computer system, a request for a resource of the multi-tenant computer system. The method further includes determining whether the resource corresponds to a local resource that is local to the user account or to a nonlocal resource that is not local to the user account. The method further includes identifying, by a processing device, a local access control policy of the user account, corresponding to the local resource, or a visiting access control policy of the user account, corresponding to the nonlocal resource. The method further includes determining that the identified access control policy of the user account comprises an access permission corresponding to the resource. The method further includes controlling access to the resource of the multi-tenant computer system based on the access permission.

Embodiments of a system include a client device (), a voice server (), and an application server (). The voice server is distinct from the application server. The client device renders () a visual display that includes at least one display element for which input data is receivable though a visual modality and a voice modality. The client device may receive speech through the voice modality and send () uplink audio data representing the speech to the voice server over an audio data path (). The application server receives () a speech recognition result from the voice server over an application server/voice server control path (). The application server sends (), over an application server/client control path (), a message to the client device that includes the speech recognition result. The client device updates () one or more of the display elements according to the speech recognition result.

Methods and apparatus for implementing distributed multi-modal applications

Embodiments include methods and apparatus for synchronizing data and focus between visual and voice views associated with distributed multi-modal applications. An embodiment includes a client device adapted to render a visual display that includes at least one multi-modal display element for which input data is receivable though a visual modality and a voice modality. When the client detects a user utterance via the voice modality, the client sends uplink audio data representing the utterance to a speech recognizer. An application server receives a speech recognition result generated by the speech recognizer, and sends a voice event response to the client. The voice event response is sent as a response to an asynchronous HTTP voice event request previously sent to the application server by the client. The client may then send another voice event request to the application server in response to receiving the voice event response.

A system for establishing multi-party wireless game sessions includes a game session broker and at least two wireless units. Each wireless unit includes a first wireless device having relatively low power consumption and a second wireless device having relatively high power consumption. The game session broker is configured to receive a session ready message that includes location information for a first player and search for a second player having location information matching the location information for the first player. Upon finding a matching player, the game session broker sends session available messages to the wireless units associated with the first and second players. Session ready messages are sent and session available message are received using the first wireless devices. Upon receiving the session available message, the first and second players can establish a wireless game session using their respective second wireless devices. Preferably, the second wireless devices are maintained powered-off until a session available message is received.

A voice browser dialog enabler for multimodal dialog uses a multimodal markup document with fields have markup-based forms associated with each field and defining fragments. A voice browser driver resides on a communication device and provides the fragments and identifiers that identify the fragments. A voice browser implementation resides on a remote voice server and receives the fragments from the driver and downloads a plurality of speech grammars. Input speech is matched against those speech grammars associated with the corresponding identifiers received in a recognition request from the voice browser driver.

Dialog recognition and control in a voice browser

A method and apparatus maintains, during non-session conditions and on a per user basis, concurrent multimodal session status information of user agent programs configured for different concurrent modality communication during the same session, and re-establish a concurrent multimodal session in response to accessing the concurrent multimodal session status information.

System and method for concurrent multimodal communication session persistence

A multimodal network element facilitates concurrent multimodal communication sessions through differing user agent programs on one or more devices. For example, a user agent program communicating in a voice mode, such as a voice browser in a voice gateway that includes a speech engine and call/session termination, is synchronized with another user agent program operating in a different modality, such as a graphical browser on a mobile device. The plurality of user agent programs are operatively coupled with a content server during a session to enable concurrent multimodal interaction.
