摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide method, system and computer program product for user profile and usage pattern based user ID prediction. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a user can request a user ID to access a portion of a computing system. One or more characteristics of the user, such as a role or location can be determined and correlated to one or more different additional user ID options. In this regard, the additional user ID options can be a suggested alternative user ID for use by the user commensurate with the role or location of the user, or with past patterns of other users considered similar to the user based upon the characteristics of the user.

摘要： The methods and systems described herein may asynchronously process natural language utterances to provide real-time response performance and natural interaction with users. In particular, the methods and systems described herein may use various natural language speech recognition and interpretation components to identify a request (e.g., a query or command) in an utterance. The request identified in the utterance may then be processed with one or more domain agents, which may submit duplicate queries to multiple different data sources to process the request. The domain agents may then asynchronously evaluate responses to the duplicate queries to return results to users in a timely and natural manner, and further to account the fact that the different data sources may respond to the queries at different speeds, provide unsatisfactory responses to the queries, or fail to respond to the queries at all.

摘要： The systems and methods described herein may filter and eliminate noise from natural language utterances to improve accuracy associated with speech recognition and parsing capabilities. In particular, the systems and methods described herein may use a microphone array to provide directional signal capture, noise elimination, and cross-talk reduction associated with an input speech signal. Furthermore, a filter arranged between the microphone array and a speech coder may use band shaping, notch filtering, and adaptive echo cancellation to optimize a signal-to-noise ratio associated with the speech signal. The speech signal may then be sent to the speech coder, which may use adaptive lossy audio compression to optimize bandwidth requirements associated with transmitting the speech signal to a main unit that provides the speech recognition, parsing, and other natural language processing capabilities.

摘要： The systems and methods described herein may recognize natural language utterances that include queries and/or commands and execute the queries and/or commands based on user-specific profiles. The systems and methods described herein may include a complete speech-based information query, retrieval, presentation and command environment that makes significant use of context, prior information, domain knowledge, and the user-specific profiles to achieve a natural environment for one or more users making queries or commands in multiple domains. Through this integrated approach, a complete speech-based natural language query and response environment can be created and tailored to specific users. For example, the systems and methods described herein may create, store, and use extensive personal profile information for different users, thereby improving the reliability of determining the context and presenting the results that the specific users may expect for a particular question or command.

摘要： Mobile systems and methods that overcomes the deficiencies of prior art speech-based interfaces for telematics applications through the use of a complete speech-based information query, retrieval, presentation and local or remote command environment. This environment makes significant use of context, prior information, domain knowledge, and user specific profile data to achieve a natural environment for one or more users making queries or commands in multiple domains. Through this integrated approach, a complete speech-based natural language query and response environment can be created. The invention creates, stores and uses extensive personal profile information for each user, thereby improving the reliability of determining the context and presenting the expected results for a particular question or command. The invention may organize domain specific behavior and information into agents, that are distributable or updateable over a wide area network. The invention can be used in dynamic environments such as those of mobile vehicles to control and communicate with both vehicle systems and remote systems and devices.

摘要： To handle web server failures, a client comprises a health monitor for monitoring the status of the web server, the client being an originator of requests for web pages from the web server. The health monitor receives status information for the web server. If the health monitor determines that the web server has failed, the health monitor redirects requests for web pages hosted by the failed web server to another web server that is working.
