Multimodal multilingual devices and applications for enhanced goal-interpretation and translation for service providers
First Claim
1. A system for person-to-person communications, comprising:
- a communications component that facilitates communications between two people who are located in a context;
a configuration component that configures the communications component based on the context in which at least one of the two people is located; and
a recognition component that captures and analyzes context data of the context, and recognizes an attribute of the context data that is processed and utilized by the configuration component to facilitate the communications between the two people.

Abstract
A person-to-person communications architecture for communications translation between people who speak different languages in a focused setting is described. In such focused areas, the provisioning of devices, language models and, item and context recognition can be employed by specific service providers (e.g., taxi drivers in a foreign country such as China) where language translation services are an important part of commerce (e.g., tourism). The architecture can include a communications component that facilitates communications between two people who are located in a context, a configuration component that can configure the communications component based on the context in which at least one of the two people is located, and a recognition component that captures and analyzes context data of the context, and recognizes an attribute of the context data that is processed and utilized by the configuration component to facilitate the communications between the two people.

14. A computer-implemented method of providing person-to-person communications, comprising:
-
deploying a system in a type of context in which two people who speak different languages desire to communicate;
initializing the system by capturing and analyzing context data of the context;
recognizing an attribute of the context data, which attribute is related to physical characteristics of the context;
processing the attribute to estimate the type of context;
selecting a language model based on the type of context; and
processing the language model to facilitate communications between the two people. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
