Abstract
A system and method for implementing conversational protocols for distributed conversational networking architectures and/or distributed conversational applications, as well as real-time conversational computing between network-connected pervasive computing devices and/or servers over a computer network. The implementation of distributed conversational systems/applications according to the present invention is based, in part, on a suitably defined conversational coding, transport and control protocols. The control protocols include session control protocols, protocols for exchanging of speech meta-information, and speech engine remote control protocols.

28. A distributed speech processing system, comprising:
-
a conversational application;
an audio I/O processing service, which is programmable by control messages generated by the conversational application to provide audio I/O services for the conversational application; and
a speech engine service, which is programmable by control messages generated by the conversational application to provide speech processing services for the conversational application. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
