First Claim
1. A mobile device configured to communicate with at least one server over a network to facilitate allocation of conversational resources, the mobile device comprising:
- at least one processor configured to;
in response to receiving a request for a conversational service, determine whether the mobile device has available resources to process the conversational service;
determine, based at least in part on results of determining whether the mobile device has the available resources to process the conversational service, whether to process the conversational service locally using the mobile device or remotely using the at least one server; and

Abstract
A system and method for providing automatic and coordinated sharing of conversational resources, e.g., functions and arguments, between network-connected servers and devices and their corresponding applications. In one aspect, a system for providing automatic and coordinated sharing of conversational resources includes a network having a first and second network device, the first and second network device each comprising a set of conversational resources, a dialog manager for managing a conversation and executing calls requesting a conversational service, and a communication stack for communicating messages over the network using conversational protocols, wherein the conversational protocols establish coordinated network communication between the dialog managers of the first and second network device to automatically share the set of conversational resources of the first and second network device, when necessary, to perform their respective requested conversational service.

15. At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium tangibly embodying program instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method for facilitating allocation of conversational resources among at least one server and a mobile device configured to communicate with the at least one server over a network, the method comprising:
-
in response to receiving a request for a conversational service, determining whether the mobile device has available resources to process the conversational service; determining, based at least in part on results of determining whether the mobile device has the available resources to process the conversational service, whether to process the conversational service locally using the mobile device or remotely using the at least one server; and automatically communicating with the at least one server in furtherance of processing the conversational service, when it is determined that the conversational service is to be processed using the at least one server. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
