Dialog processing method and apparatus for uninhabited air vehicles
First Claim
1. A dialog processing system for an uninhabited air vehicle comprising:
- a control system that records a state of the UAV;
a recognition unit for recognizing text and analog speech input data;
an interpretation unit dynamically linked to the control system and linked to the recognition unit for interpreting the input data;
a response unit linked to the interpretation unit for producing text or audible analog speech output data;
whereby the interpretation unit utilizes UAV state data to interpret the input data to generate appropriate output data.

Abstract
A dialog processing method and apparatus for uninhabited air vehicles is described. The apparatus contains a recognition unit for recognizing incoming data, an interpretation unit for interpreting the data according to a grammar and a response unit for generating an appropriate response to the incoming data. The method may utilize natural language processes and may reduce to a finite state machine. The incoming data is combined with uninhabited air vehicle state information to increase the accuracy of this interpretation. Additionally, the dialog states may be limited to customary air traffic control dialogs.
