SPEECH RECOGNITION SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A computer readable storage medium encoded with a plurality of instructions that, when executed by a computer, perform a method for integrating processes within a voice command human interface, the method comprising:
- receiving a voice signal comprising a contextually defined command sequence;
determining a context;
processing the voice signal using a context-dependent natural language model;
parsing executable commands from the processed voice signal;
determining a set of processes appropriate for execution of the parsed commands;
routing the parsed commands to the appropriate processes for execution; and
executing the contextually defined command sequence, wherein a plurality of processes execute concurrently.

Abstract
According to the present invention, a method for integrating processes with a multi-faceted human centered interface is provided. The interface is facilitated to implement a hands free, voice driven environment to control processes and applications. A natural language model is used to parse voice initiated commands and data, and to route those voice initiated inputs to the required applications or processes. The use of an intelligent context based parser allows the system to intelligently determine what processes are required to complete a task which is initiated using natural language. A single window environment provides an interface which is comfortable to the user by preventing the occurrence of distracting windows from appearing. The single window has a plurality of facets which allow distinct viewing areas. Each facet has an independent process routing its outputs thereto. As other processes are activated, each facet can reshape itself to bring a new process into one of the viewing areas. All activated processes are executed simultaneously to provide true multitasking.
