Abstract
A multimodal communication system and method creates and accesses a multimodal profile (114) that contains at least multimodal preference information (202), such as desired input modality and a desired output modality for a given multimodal communication session. The multimodal profile (114) may also include at least one identifier (204) associated with the multimodal preference information (202). A multimodal communication apparatus (102) includes a multimodal profile generator (110) that accesses and/or generates a multimodal profile (114). A multimodal communication apparatus configuration controller (112) which is operatively responsive to the accessed multimodal preference information (124) from a given user profile, configures the multimodal communication apparatus (102) and/or a network element for the multimodal communication session based on the accessed multimodal preference information (124) in the multimodal profile.
