Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for collaborative completion of tasks using task frames. Upon receiving a request to perform a task, a system utilizes task frames in completing the requested task. A task frame is a data structure that contains the parameters and status signals that represent a particular task and captures the combined system's understanding of a current state of the task. Input is received at a client device and sent to a server, where the input is processed. Based on the processed input, a task frame is retrieved and filled. The filled task frame is sent to the client device, where the client device performs actions based on the task frame and updates the task frame parameters and the state of the task. The updated task frame is returned to the server. The shared task frame provides improvements to the overall task completion process.
