Abstract: An architecture including a speech manager that identifies input, input content, and location of the input (speech, for example), a action scheduler, a dialog manager, and an animation system provides reduced message traffic and streamlined processing for support of animated characters (conversational characters, for example). Speech recognition is provided along with location information to the action scheduler for determination of appropriate expressions for interactive behavior (looking, turn taking, etc.), and speech (or input) content is provided to a dialog manager to determine a substantive response (including speech or other content related responses) and any facial expressions or gestures related to content, but not containing content, are identified, and placed in a communication to the animation system.

Abstract translation: 包括识别输入（例如语音）的输入，输入内容和位置的语音管理器的架构，动作调度器，对话管理器和动画系统提供减少的消息流量和用于支持动画角色的简化处理（ 例如会话角色）。 将语音识别与位置信息一起提供给动作调度器以确定用于交互行为（寻找，转向等）的适当表达，并且将语音（或输入）内容提供给对话管理器以确定实质性响应（包括 语音或其他与内容相关的响应），并且与内容相关但不包含内容的任何面部表情或手势被识别，并被放置在与动画系统的通信中。
