Techniques are described for protecting information in a convenient and useful way. A user transmits information from a mobile device to an ambient display, so that other users may receive the information from the ambient display. A display controller detects a presence of a potentially unauthorized user relative to the ambient display, and modifies the outputting of the information at the ambient display so as to hide portions of the information that should not be seen by the potentially unauthorized user. The information, including the hidden portion, is nonetheless output, using one of a plurality of output channels of one or more secondary devices, either to the user and/or the other users. In this way, authorized users may continue to receive the information, and, moreover, may input an indication as to whether an extent of the hidden portion is sufficient to provide adequate security with regard to the information.

Techniques for using open interaction elements (OIEs) in voice-enabled systems are described. OIEs include multi-select and dictation fields of a user interface, into which a user may enter multiple selections or free-form information. To allow the user to exit from such OIEs, that is, to change from a data entry mode to a navigation mode, multiple exit strategies may be simultaneously enabled for use by the user. For example, an explicit exit command may be available to the user, in addition to an implicit exit command or time-out exit strategy. In this way, users may individually select a preferred or practical way of exiting an OIE.

A fumigant, comprising cyanogen (C.sub.2 N.sub.2) provides a viable alternative to conventional fumigants such as methyl bromide, phosphine and carbonyl sulphide. Cyanogen (C.sub.2 N.sub.2) can be used as such a fumigant in the control of a range of biota, including insects, mites, nematodes, fungi and their spores, viruses, spiders, bacteria, molds and rodents. It is also suitable for use on a variety of commodities, including grain, seeds, meats, fruit, vegetables, timber, plants, cut flowers and soil. It is shown that an efficacious concentration of cyanogen (C.sub.2 N.sub.2) as a fumigant leaves a very low residue and can be readily flushed from commodities. In particular, it has been observed that a mixture of (C.sub.2 N.sub.2) and carbon dioxide have a synergistic effect when applied to various biota. The term "cyanogen" is defined as the gas (as STP) cyanogen, (C.sub.2 N.sub.2), essentially free from hydrogen cyanide and other cyanogenic compounds, (that is, compounds that give rise to hydrogen cyanide). Cyanogen, which has also been termed dicyan and oxalonitrile, as a fumigant, may be shown as (CN.sub.2).sub.2, C.sub.2 N.sub.2, or NC--CN.

Enhanced application of spoken input, in which a single, natural language voice command is accessed. Using a repository that associates multiple operations with natural language voice commands, multiple selected operations that correspond to the received single, natural language voice command are determined and applied to a user interface.

A system having multiple speech recognition engines, each operable to recognize spoken data, is described. A speech recognition engine manager detects the speech recognition engines, and selects at least one for recognizing spoken input from a user, via a user interface. In this way, a speech recognition engine that is particularly suited to a current environment may be selected. For example, a speech recognition engine that is particularly suited for, or preferred by, the user may be selected, or a speech recognition engine that is particularly suited for a particular type of interface, interface element, or application, may be selected. Multiple ones of the speech recognition engines may be selected and simultaneously maintained in an active state, by maintaining a session associated with each of the engines. Accordingly, users' experience with voice applications may be enhanced, and, in particular, users with physical disabilities may more easily interact with software applications.
摘要:
One or more internationalized voice user interfaces include a user interface and a voice extension module associated with the user interface. The voice extension module is configured to voice-enable the user interface and includes a speech recognition engine, a preprocessor, and an input handler. The preprocessor is configured to register with the speech recognition engine one or more voice commands for controlling the user interface. The one or more voice commands are representative of multiple languages. The input handler receives an initial voice command that is representative of one of the multiple languages and communicates with the preprocessor to control the user interface as indicated by the initial voice command. The initial voice command is one of the one or more voice commands registered with the speech recognition engine by the preprocessor.

One or more voice-enabled user interfaces include a user interface, and a voice extension module associated with the user interface. The voice extension module is configured to voice-enable the user interface and includes a speech recognition engine, a preprocessor, and an input handler. The preprocessor registers with the speech recognition engine one or more voice commands for signaling for execution of one or more semantic operations that may be performed using a first user interface. The input handler receives a first voice command and communicates with the preprocessor to execute a semantic operation that is indicated by the first voice command. The first voice command is one of the voice commands registered with the speech recognition engine by the preprocessor.
