Abstract
Embodiments of systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for selecting devices for performing a task. A description of a task is received from a user and is used to generate a list of devices for performing the task. The generated list of devices may need refinement, however, depending on the information contained in the task description. A determination is made whether additional information is needed to refine the generated list. If additional information is needed, then the user is queried for additional information to refine the generated list of devices.
Claims84
A method of selecting devices to perform a task, comprising:
- receiving a task description from a user;
- generating a list of devices for performing the task;
- determining if additional information is needed from the user to refine the generated list;
- and
- querying the user for more information if additional information is needed from the user to refine the generated list.
A system for selecting devices to perform a task, comprising:
- means for receiving a task description from a user;
- means for generating a list of devices for performing the task;
- means for determining if additional information is needed from the user to refine the generated list;
- and
- means for querying the user for more information if additional information is needed from the user to refine the generated list.
A computer program product for selecting devices to perform a task, comprising:
- a computer readable program medium having computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code comprising:
- computer readable program code for receiving a task description from a user;
- computer readable program code for generating a list of devices for performing the task;
- computer readable program code for determining if additional information is needed from the user to refine the generated list;
- and
- computer readable program code for querying the user for more information if additional information is needed from the user to refine the generated list.
