Clients connecting to a VoiceXML browser obtain a control channel. Using this channel, clients may initialize a new VoiceXML session or attach to an existing VoiceXML session. The client after obtaining a session may perform a range of actions including controlling and monitoring actions.

System, method and architecture for control and multi-modal synchronization of speech browsers

Systems and methods for building speech-based applications using reusable dialog components based on VoiceXML (Voice eXtensible Markup Language). VoiceXML reusable dialog components can be used for building a voice interface for use with multi-modal, multi-channel and conversational applications that offer universal access to information anytime, from any location, using any pervasive computing device regardless of its I/O modality. In one embodiment, a framework for reusable dialog components built within the VoiceXML specifications is based on the &#x3c;subdialog&#x3e; tag and ECMAScript parameter objects to pass parameters, configuration and results. This solution is interpreted at the client side (VoiceXML browser). In another embodiment, a framework for reusable dialog components is based on JSP (Java Server Pages) and beans that generate VoiceXML subdialogs. This solution can be evaluated at the server side. These frameworks can be mixed and matched depending on the application.

Reusable voiceXML dialog components, subdialogs and beans

Systems and methods for building multi-modal browsers applications and, in particular, to systems and methods for building modular multi-modal browsers using a DOM (Document Object Model) and MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework that enables a user to interact in parallel with the same information via a multiplicity of channels, devices, and/or user interfaces, while presenting a unified, synchronized view of such information across the various channels, devices and/or user interfaces supported by the multi-modal browser. The use of a DOM framework (or specifications similar to DOM) allows existing browsers to be extended without modification of the underling browser code. A multi-modal browser framework is modular and flexible to allow various fat client and thin (distributed) client approaches.
