A method for processing a voice message in a computerized system. The method receives and records a speech utterance including a message portion and a communication portion. The method proceeds to parse the input to identify and separate the message portion and the communication portion. It then identifies communication parameters, including one or more destination mailboxes, from the communication portion, and it transmits the message portion to the destination mailbox as a voice message.
Abstract:
A method for processing a natural language input to a computerized system. The method parses the input to identify a query portion and a communication portion of the input. The system then determines an answer to the query portion, including identifying communication parameters from the communication portion. Upon determining the answer, the system prepares an answer to the communication and transmits that answer. If the answer requires information from a remote source, the system creates a subsidiary query to obtain that information and then submits the subsidiary query to the remote source. A response to the query is used to compose the answer to the query from the answer to the subsidiary query. If the system concludes that the query portion does not require information from a remote source, analyzing and answering the query locally.
Abstract:
A method and system for assisting a traveler. The method initiates a travel segment and interfaces with providers of data regarding geolocation, points of interest, or traffic. During execution of the method, the system monitors geolocation data. The system can predict a route of travel, basing that prediction on past geolocation data or directions from a geolocation provider. Also during execution of the method, the system can identify data of interest to a user, based on input initiated by the user. Further, the system can solicit input from the traveler, or it can perform tasks based on predefined criteria, such as locating and identifying points of interest between two geographic locations. During operation, system can provide information to the traveler relating to data of interest. The system includes a client unit and a server unit, the client unit being mounted in an automotive vehicle or in a communications device.
