Conversational computing via conversational virtual machine
InactiveUS7137126B1Limitation for transferReduce degradationInterconnection arrangementsResource allocationConversational speechApplication software
A conversational computing system that provides a universal coordinated multi-modal conversational user interface (CUI) (10) across a plurality of conversationally aware applications (11) (i.e., applications that “speak” conversational protocols) and conventional applications (12). The conversationally aware maps, applications (11) communicate with a conversational kernel (14) via conversational application APIs (13). The conversational kernel (14) controls the dialog across applications and devices (local and networked) on the basis of their registered conversational capabilities and requirements and provides a unified conversational user interface and conversational services and behaviors. The conversational computing system may be built on top of a conventional operating system and APIs (15) and conventional device hardware (16). The conversational kernel (14) handles all I / O processing and controls conversational engines (18). The conversational kernel (14) converts voice requests into queries and converts outputs and results into spoken messages using conversational engines (18) and conversational arguments (17). The conversational application API (13) conveys all the information for the conversational kernel (14) to transform queries into application calls and conversely convert output into speech, appropriately sorted before being provided to the user.

Voice-activated call placement systems and methods
InactiveUS7127046B1Easily reachableEasy to adaptIntelligent networksAutomatic call-answering/message-recording/conversation-recordingSpoken languageService control
System and method for deriving call routing information utilizing a network control data base system and voice recognition for matching spoken word sound patterns to routing numbers needed to set up calls. Public access is provided to a common database via a common access number or code. Terminating parties sponsor the call and originating parties need not be pre-subscribed to use the service. The common access number is used to initiate or trigger the service. The system advantageously operates under the direction of a service control point, which combines technologies for switching, interactive voice response, and voice recognition with the data base to automate the processes of assisting callers in making calls for which they do not know the phone number. Usage information is gathered on completed calls to each terminating party for billing. Three alternative deployments in the U.S. telephone network are described, and vary based on the location of the service control points or intelligent processors and the degree of intelligence within the network.

Portable communication device for domestic and international communications and automatic calling method for domestic and international calls
InactiveUS7120469B1Effectively “dial”Reduce the amount requiredSpecial service for subscribersCalling susbscriber number recording/indicationInternal memoryTelecommunications
An internal memory has an address book table for registering data regarding a communication destination party, a telephone number, and a country flag indicative of a country where the communication destination party is present, in a manner that they are shown corresponding to one another. A calling processor compares a country flag attached to a communication destination party selected using a memory dial function, and information obtained from an RF module regarding a country where the communication circuit can be established. When the flag information and the information from the Rf module coincide, the calling processor determines that the ongoing call is a domestic call, and thus dials the telephone number as registered in the address book table and, when they do not coincide, the calling processor determines that the ongoing call is an international call, and thus dials international access and country codes prior to the telephone number registered in the address book table. Using a portable communication device having the above arrangement, the user can automatically place a call to a party in or out of the country where the user is present even when the destination party information for each communication destination candidate party is registered only in a single formation.

Novel personal electronics device
First (embedded) and second (non-embedded) processors are energized by an energy source in a hand-held device. The second processor performs functions requiring more power than those performed by the first processor. The second processor is normally asleep and is awakened by the first processor and is empowered, when awakened, to perform functions. Only the portions of the second processor required to perform these functions are activated. Protocols for functions to be performed by the second processor are provided initially to the second processor and are processed in the second processor. They are then transferred to the first processor for storage. When the second processor is activated to perform functions represented by a protocol, the protocol is transferred to the second processor and the functions are performed by the second processor.
