Abstract
The present invention relates to an arrangement (and a method) allowing multi-modal access of content over a global data communications network, e.g. Internet, comprising a mobile station (1), with a user agent, a proxy server (2), and a telephony platform (3). The mobile station (1) is a dual mode station supporting concurrent voice and data sessions, the proxy server (2) comprises an enhanced functionality for supporting voice browsing, and the telephony platform (3) comprises an Automatic Speech Recognizer (ASR) (31) and a block for converting text messages to speech. Said enhanced proxy server (2) interfaces the Automatic Speech Recognizer (31) of the Telephony Platform (3), and key elements (e.g. text, words phrases) are predefined and indicated in the (original) web content. When the enhanced proxy server (2) recognizes/extracts said key elements (using predefined rules) it triggers voice browsing, such that an arbitrary web content (page) can be accessed by voice commands without requiring conversion of the web content.

28. A system for allowing multi-modal access of content over a global data communications network using a mobile station (MS) with a user agent, a proxy server, and a telephony platform, wherein:
-
said mobile station is a dual mode station supporting concurrent voice and data sessions;
said proxy server comprises an enhanced functionality for supporting voice browsing;
said telephony platform comprises an Automatic Speech Recognizer (ASR) and is operative to convert text messages to speech;
key elements are predefined and indicated in the original web content; and
when the proxy server recognizes/extracts said key elements, using predefined rules, it triggers voice browsing, such that arbitrary web content can be accessed by voice commands without requiring conversion of the web content. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52)

54. A method for providing concurrent multi-modal access of Internet content from a dual mode mobile station, said method comprising the steps of:
-
providing an enhanced functionality proxy server supporting voice browsing;
establishing a connection between the enhanced proxy server and a telephony platform with an Automatic Speech Register (ASR);
defining key elements to use for voice browsing;
determining if voice browsing is to be active and, if so, performing the steps of;
setting up a voice channel between the mobile station and the Automatic Speech Register;
forwarding a request to the concerned application service provider;
parsing content and analyzing paragraphs in the content to find key elements;
modifying, in the enhanced proxy, the content by changing tag attributes to make key elements identifiable to the user;
sending the modified content to the mobile station;
opening a voice browsing session;
opening a voice channel concurrent with a data session channel;
matching, in the enhanced proxy server, keywords recognized in a user voice command with predefined and selected keywords to establish which link to use for sending a get request to the relevant application service provider; and
,processing and pushing the content received from the application service provider to the user agent.
