Dynamic control of resource usage in a multimodal system
First Claim
1. A method of dynamically controlling usage of a resource by task entities respectively involved in processing different input modalities, wherein the relative average actual or allocated usage of the resource by the task entities is dynamically adjusted according to one or more of the following:
- actual usage of the different modalities by a user;
confidence in the results of processing of each of the modalities;
pragmatic information on mode usage.

Abstract
The relative average actual or allocated usage of a limited resource, such as communication bandwidth, by task entities in different respective input-modality processing stacks is dynamically adjusted. This adjustment is effected by a moderator in dependence on one or more of the actual usage of the different modalities by a user, the confidence in the results of processing of each of the modalities, and pragmatic information on mode usage.
