Abstract

A method includes detecting an event published to a workflow activity by a voice based dialog view, wherein the event indicates a state of asset retrieval, navigating to a built-in asset retrieval work activity, retrieving an asset, and dismissing the workflow activity to revert to a workflow activity associated with the voice based dialog view.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

detecting an event published to a workflow activity by a voice based dialog view, wherein the event indicates a state of asset retrieval;

navigating to a built-in asset retrieval work activity;

retrieving an asset; and

dismissing the workflow activity to revert to a workflow activity associated with the voice based dialog view.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the asset comprises a worker based voice template for use in voice recognition.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the event includes a worker ID that uniquely identifies the worker based voice template.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein retrieving an asset comprises:

obtaining a worker ID;

accessing a remote storage using the worker ID to obtain a corresponding worker based voice template.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein retrieving an asset comprises:

obtaining a worker ID;

determining whether a worker based voice template associated with the worker ID exists;

if no associated worker ID exists, performing a voice template training method with the worker; and

storing the voice template.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the event is published when a first workflow activity using a voice view is encountered when executing a workflow activity based application.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the asset retrieval workflow activity dismisses itself.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the voice based dialog view is one of multiple views to provide user interfaces for an application formed of workflow activities.

9. A machine readable storage device having instructions for execution by a processor of the machine to perform a method comprising:

detecting an event published to a workflow activity by a voice based dialog view, wherein the event indicates a state of asset retrieval;

navigating to a built-in asset retrieval work activity;

retrieving an asset; and

dismissing the workflow activity to revert to a workflow activity associated with the voice based dialog view.

10. The machine readable storage device of claim 9 wherein the asset comprises a worker based voice template for use in voice recognition.

11. The machine readable storage device of claim 10 wherein the event includes a worker ID the uniquely identifies the worker based voice template.

12. The machine readable storage device of claim 9 wherein retrieving an asset comprises:

obtaining a worker ID;

accessing a remote storage using the worker ID to obtain a corresponding worker based voice template.

13. The machine readable storage device of claim 9 wherein retrieving an asset comprises:

obtaining a worker ID;

determining whether a worker based voice template associated with the worker ID exists;

if no associated worker ID exists, performing a voice template training method with the worker; and

storing the voice template.

14. The machine readable storage device of claim 9 wherein the event is published when a first workflow activity using a voice view is encountered when executing a workflow activity based application.

15. The machine readable storage device of claim 9 wherein the asset retrieval work activity dismisses itself.

16. The machine readable storage device of claim 9 wherein the voice based dialog view is one of multiple views to provide user interfaces for an application formed of workflow activities.

17. A system comprising:

a device having a microphone and a speaker; and

a module to couple to the device and having a processor and a memory, the processor programmed to perform a method comprising;

detecting an event published to a workflow activity by a voice based dialog view, wherein the event indicates a state of asset retrieval;

navigating to a built-in asset retrieval work activity;

retrieving an asset; and

dismissing the workflow activity to revert to a workflow activity associated with the voice based dialog view.

18. The system of claim 17 wherein the asset comprises a worker based voice template for use in voice recognition and wherein the event includes a worker ID that uniquely identifies the worker based voice template.

19. The system of claim 17 wherein retrieving an asset comprises:

obtaining a worker ID from a device storage device;

accessing a remote storage using the worker ID to obtain a corresponding worker based voice template.

20. The system of claim 17 wherein retrieving an asset comprises:

obtaining a worker ID;

determining whether a worker based voice template associated with the worker headset ID exists;

if no associated worker ID exists, performing a voice template training method with the worker; and

storing the voice template.
