Micro cloud resource unit

The invention is a modular computing system and method of use. The invention includes a chassis used for structurally supporting a plurality of computer resource modules. The chassis provides a power source and connection point for the computer resource modules. The computer resource modules segment and replicate user information to provide redundancy of information in the case of failure. The computer resource modules elect a lead computer resource module to handle the organization of the computer resource modules during use. The computer resource modules provide a hierarchy of leadership in case the lead resource module fails. The operating software provides floating application storage which can persist across the multiple computer resource modules after the application is closed. The application can access the floating application storage when it is reopened.

Modular computer system and method

A unified web-based voice messaging system provides voice application control between a web browser and an application server via an hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) connection on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. The web browser receives an HTML page from the application server having an XML element that defines data for an audio operation to be performed by an executable audio resource. The application server executes the voice-enabled web application by runtime execution of extensible markup language (XML) documents that define the voice-enabled web application to be executed. The application server, in response to receiving a user request from a user, accesses a selected XML page that defines at least a part of the voice application to be executed for the user. The application server then parses the XML page, and executes the operation describer by the XML page.

Application server configured for dynamically generating web pages for voice enabled web applications

A unified web-based voice messaging system provides voice application control between a web browser and an application server via an hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) connection on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. The application server executes the voice-enabled web application by runtime execution of extensible markup language (XML) documents that define the voice-enabled web application to be executed. Each voice application operation can be defined as any one of a user interface operation, a logic operation, or a function operation. Each XML document includes XML tags that specify the user interface operation, the logic operation and/or the function operation to be performed within a corresponding voice application operation, the XML tags being based on prescribed rule sets that specify the executable functions to be performed by the application runtime environment.
