A phone application state management mechanism is described. The mechanism adopts the state storage format widely known as “Cookies” to store information in a cross-application standard format. Cookies for multiple users are stored on a single machine that retrieves phone applications using a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). Suitable state information for a particular user is automatically retrieved in connection with HTTP requests. Further, by phone based applications can set the values of suitable cookies. An enforced access policy can be used to prevent an application provided by a first legal entity from accessing state information stored by an application provided by another legal entity. The approach can also be used to reduce the passing of telephone identifying information between applications for user identification purposes.

Some embodiments of the invention may operate to measure a first output performance metric value associated with a current operation frequency of a processor, to set a trial operation frequency of the processor, and to measure a second output performance metric value associated with the trial operation frequency. If the measured performance variation is less than a specified acceptable performance variation, the trial operation frequency may be selected as a subsequent determined operation frequency.

A dynamic state manager (DSM) for a server cloud manager (SCM) of a virtualized logical server cloud including a resource definition, a rules module and a state manager engine. The resource definition incorporates information of the available physical and logical resources of the server cloud, including cost, priority, usage and demand information of the resources. The resource definition further incorporates dependencies and relationships between physical and logical resources. The rules module includes predetermined behavioral rules based on demand, usage, priority and cost information. The behavioral rules define optimized resource utilization of the resources of the server cloud. The state manager engine is linked to the resource definition and the rules module and cooperates with the SCM to apply the behavioral rules to achieve optimized resource utilization.

A method for managing application modalities using dialogue states can include the step of asserting a set of activation conditions associated with a dialogue state of an application. Each of the activation conditions can be linked to at least one programmatic action, wherein different programmatic actions can be executed by different modality components. The application conditions can be monitored. An application event can be detected resulting in an associated application condition being run. At least one programmatic action linked to the application condition can be responsively initiated.

The invention provides a voice control system for multimedia equipment. The voice control system comprises an image sensing module used for collecting action images of a user, an image recognition module for determining a control command type or state according to the action image of the user, a voice recognition state management module for activating or suspending voice recognition according to the current control command type, a voice picking module for collecting voice data, a voice recognition module for recognizing collected voice data, and a multimedia function module for executing a control command and providing corresponding multimedia functions to the user. The invention further provides a voice control method for multimedia equipment. According to the invention, the technologies of image recognition and voice recognition are combined, and then the purpose of realizing voice control freely and conveniently without a handheld remote controller or a near voice picking module can be achieved, so that voice recognition of a control command can be effectively prevented from being disturbed by voice output by multimedia equipment, environment background sound and voice signals of a non-control command of the user, and a control command sent by the user can be recognized accurately.
