Abstract

The claimed subject matter according to one aspect provides systems and/or methods that effectuate user development, customization, or utilization of dynamically configurable dialogue flow systems. The system can include devices and components that employ data associated with a user to retrieve navigation panes unique with respect to the user, scans the navigation panes and identifies adjustable attributes, utilizes the adjustable attributes to generate voice prompts communicated to the user via handheld devices, the user in reply to the voice prompts utters personalized responses associated with the voice prompts, and based at least on the personalized responses initiates actions associated with the adjustable attributes.

Claims

1. A system implemented on a machine that facilitates and effectuates at least one of user development, customization, or utilization of a dynamically configurable dialogue flow system, comprising:

a component that solicits from an interface data associated with a web service, a speech service, a mobile device, or a user, the component utilizes the data associated with the user to retrieve navigation panes unique with respect to the user, the component scans the navigation panes and identifies adjustable attributes, the adjustable attributes utilized by the component to generate voice prompts conveyed to the user, the user in reply utters personalized responses associated with the voice prompts, the component initiates actions associated with the adjustable attributes based at least in part on the uttered personalized responses.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the component utilizes data associated with the mobile device to associate the user with the navigation panes.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the user supplies authentication data via the mobile device to effectuate communication with the component.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the authentication data includes biometric information associated with the user.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the biometric data includes at least one of voice pattern samples, finger print impressions, or retinal scans.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device includes at least one of personal digital assistants, cell phones, multimedia Internet enable devices, or laptop computers.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the navigation panes provide a dataflow that effectuates a verbal dialogue flow conveyed to the user.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the voice prompts generated by a text to speech converter.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the actions associated with the adjustable attributes relates to the web service to which the user currently subscribes.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the user utilizes the web service or the speech service to amend the adjustable attributes where the user visually manipulates the adjustable attributes through the web service or the speech service.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the adjustable attributes are automatically included in a grammar associated with the dynamically configurable dialogue flow system where the dynamically configurable dialogue flow system includes a telephony system where the user utilizes a telephony number to access a personalized dialogue flow.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the component effectuates correspondence between the web service and the speech service based at least in part on the adjustable attributes.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein the component utilizes data associated with the user or the mobile device to register the user to the dynamically configurable dialogue flow system.

14. The system of claim 1, wherein the component associates a unique randomly selected identifier to the user.

15. A machine implemented method that facilitates and effectuates at least one of development, personalization, or utilization of dynamically adjustable dialogue flow systems, comprising:

receiving communication and biometric data from a hand-held device;

utilizing the communication and biometric data to locate a user profile;

identifying a user page associated with the user profile;

scanning the user page associated with the user profile;

enunciating text associated with the user page;

monitoring user speech for a verbal prompt and

initiating an action associated with the verbal prompt based at least in part on the user speech responsive to the verbal prompt.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising retrieving navigation panes based at least in part on authentication information supplied by a user via the hand-held device.

17. The method of claim 16, the navigation panes provide a dynamically adjustable dataflow uniquely associated with the user.

18. The method of claim 15, further includes employing web services to customize adjustable attributes to a user preference.

19. The method of claim 15, further includes identifying the user based at least in part on data personal to the user or data related to the hand-held device employed by the user to communicate with the dynamically adjustable dialogue flow systems.

20. A system that effectuates construction, customization, or use of a configurable dialogue flow system, comprising:

means for scanning navigation panes associated with a user, the navigation panes include user amendable attributes;

means for generating audio prompts based at least in part on the user amendable attributes;

means for conveying the audio prompts to the user via a means for communications;

means for acquiring and recognizing speech responsive to the audio prompts; and

based at least on the speech responsive to the audio prompts, employing means for initiating an action associated with the user amendable attributes.
