Computer-implemented intelligent dialogue control method and system
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for handling a speech dialogue with a user, comprising the steps of:
- receiving speech input from a user that contains words directed to a plurality of concepts, said user speech input containing a request for a service to be performed;
performing speech recognition of the user speech input to generate recognized words;
applying a dialogue template to the recognized words, said dialogue template having nodes that are associated with predetermined concepts, said nodes including different request processing information;
identifying conceptual regions within the dialogue template based upon which nodes are associated with concepts that approximately match the concepts of the recognized words; and
processing the user'"'"'s request by using the request processing information of the nodes contained within the identified conceptual regions.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for handling a speech dialogue with a user. Speech input from a user contains words directed to a plurality of concepts. The user speech input contains a request for a service to be performed. Speech recognition of the user speech input is used to generate recognized words. A dialogue template is applied to the recognized words. The dialogue template has nodes that are associated with predetermined concepts. The nodes include different request processing information. Conceptual regions are identified within the dialogue template based upon which nodes are associated with concepts that approximately match the concepts of the recognized words. The user'"'"'s request is processed by using the request processing information of the nodes contained within the identified conceptual regions.
