Adaptive input/ouput selection of a multimodal system
First Claim
1. A method for selecting one or more modalities from a group of modalities available in a communication device having a modality manager, the communication device operating in one or more communication systems, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) determining the available bandwidth;
(b) providing the bandwidth information determined in step (a) to the modality manager; and
(c) having the modality manager select the one or more modalities based on the bandwidth information.

Abstract
An electronic device such as a radio communication device (900) includes a modality manager (112) which can select input and/or output modalities (102-110) based on available bandwidth and associated cost savings to the end user. The modality manager (112) adaptively selects the modality and also can keep track of changes in operating conditions and make changes to the current modality based on the changing conditions. By having a modality manager (112) the end user is not burdened with making determinations as to which one or more modalities (102-110) are best used in a given situation.
