Abstract:
A method is provided for enabling or enhancing a use of voice control in a voice controlled application (VCA) via a development framework. The method includes providing in the framework a plurality of action-context pairs usable in a memory of an application development device, which includes a processor. The action-context pairs serve to direct execution of the VCA, wherein the framework context defines a list of parameters related to the action and their respective value types. At least one of a voice recognition engine (VRE) and a natural language library is provided to match each action-context pair with a semantically related vocabulary. A registration mechanism is provided in the framework, which permits an association to be formed between an action-context pair and a handler in the voice controlled application. An associated development system for developing the VCA and user equipment that executes the VCA are provided as well.

A method is provided for enabling or enhancing a use of voice control in a voice controlled application (VCA) via a development framework. The method includes: providing in the framework a plurality of action-context pairs—also called framework action-context pairs—usable in a memory of an application development device, which includes a processor, that serve to direct execution of the VCA, wherein the framework context defines a list of parameters related to the action and their respective value types; providing at least one of a voice recognition engine (VRE) and a natural language library to match each action-context pair with semantically related vocabulary; providing in the framework a registration mechanism that permits an association to be formed between an action-context pair and a handler in the voice controlled application. An associated development system for developing the VCA and user equipment that executes the VCA are provided as well.
