Method and Apparatus to Facilitate Using a Highest Level of a Hierarchical Task Model To Facilitate Correlating End User Input With a Corresponding Meaning
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving input from a given end user as pertains to a particular task to be executed, at least in part, by the given end user;
automatically accessing a hierarchical task model as corresponds to the particular task to be executed by the given end user to identify presently un-executed agenda elements;
automatically accessing characterizing information for the given end user;
automatically using the characterizing information and the un-executed agenda elements to identify a highest hierarchical level within the hierarchical task model as corresponds to the given end user'"'"'s wherewithal to successfully execute without also needing lower hierarchical level content within the hierarchical task model;
using the highest hierarchical level to facilitate correlating the input from the given end user with a corresponding meaning.

Abstract
One receives input (101) from a given end user as pertains to a particular task to be executed and automatically accesses (102) a hierarchical task model as corresponds to a particular task to be executed by a given end user to thereby identify one or more presently un-executed agenda elements. One also automatically accesses (103) characterizing information for that given end user. (By one approach, for example, this characterizing information can comprise information regarding the given end user'"'"'s knowledge.) This information regarding the un-executed agenda elements and the characterizing information are then used (104) to identify a highest hierarchical level within the hierarchical task model as corresponds to the given end user'"'"'s wherewithal to successfully execute without also needing lower hierarchical level content within the hierarchical task model. This hierarchical level is then used (105) to facilitate correlating the input with a corresponding meaning.

13. An apparatus comprising:
-
a first memory having stored therein information comprising presently un-executed agenda elements of a hierarchical task model as corresponds to a particular task to be executed by a given end user; a second memory having stored therein characterizing information for the given end user; a processor that is operably coupled to the first memory and the second memory and that is configured to; receive input from the given end user as pertains to the particular task to be executed; automatically access the hierarchical task model to identify presently un-executed agenda elements; automatically access the characterizing information for the given end user; automatically use the characterizing information and the un-executed agenda elements to identify a highest hierarchical level within the hierarchical task model as corresponds to the given end user'"'"'s wherewithal to successfully execute without also needing lower hierarchical level content within the hierarchical task model; use the highest hierarchical level to facilitate correlating the input from the given end user with a corresponding meaning. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
