Abstract

A voice based user-system interaction may take advantage of implicit association and/or polymorphism to achieve smooth and effective discoursing between the user and the voice enabled system. This user-system interaction may occur at a local control unit, at a remote server, or both.

Claims

1. A method for operating a computer based upon human input including the steps of:

a) receiving an input from a human;

b) recognizing the input as an object; and

c) associating at least one attribute with the object based upon said step b).

2. The method of claim 1 further including the step of associating a plurality of methods with the object based upon said step b).

3. The method of claim 1 wherein said step a) includes the step of receiving and parsing an audible speech input from the human.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein said step a) includes the step of receiving and parsing an email.

5. The method of claim 1 further including the step of receiving a command and performing the command on the object based upon the attribute.

6. The method of claim 1 further including the steps of:

d) recognizing the object'"'"'s status as active;

e) receiving a command; and

f) performing the command on the object based upon the object'"'"'s status as active.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the object is a first object, the method further including the steps of recognizing a second input from the human as a second object and storing the first object and the second object in a stack.

8. The method of claim 7 further including the steps of

d) receiving a command;

and

e) performing the command on one of the first object and the second object based upon the first or second object being stored in the stack.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the object is a person.

10. The method of claim 9 further including the steps of receiving a command and performing the command on the object based upon the attribute.

11. The method of claim 9 further including the steps of receiving a command to call the object and placing a phone call in response to the command based upon the attribute and based upon the object being a person.

12. The method of claim 9 further including the steps of receiving a command to navigate to the object and determining a route in response to the command based upon the attribute.

13. The method of claim 1 wherein the object is a place.

14. The method of claim 13 further including the steps of receiving a command to navigate to the object and determining a route to the object in response to the command based upon the attribute.

15. The method of claim 1 wherein said step a) is performed in a vehicle.

16. The method of claim 1 further including the steps of:

d) receiving an underspecified command from the user;

e) resolving the underspecified command from the user based upon the object; and

f) performing the command from the user on the object.

17. The method of claim 16 wherein the object has a type, and wherein said step e) further includes resolving the underspecified command based upon the object type.
