Abstract
In order to enable an application to be provided with multimodal inputs, a multimodal application interface (API), which contains at least one rule for providing multimodal interaction is provided.
Claims22
A method for providing interaction between modalities, the method comprising at least:
- receiving at least one input from at least one modality;
- manipulating the at least one input according to at least one rule concerning at least one modality;
- and
- sending the result of the manipulation to at least one of the group of other modality and an application.
A module for providing interaction between modalities, the module being capable of receiving inputs from at least two different modalities, the module comprising at least
- means for manipulating at least one input received from at least one modality according to at least one rule concerning at least one modality;
- and
- means for sending the result of in the manipulation to at least one of the group of other modality and an application.
A computer program product for providing interaction between modalities, said computer program product being embodied in a computer readable medium and comprising program instructions, wherein execution of said program instructions cause the computer to
- obtain at least one input from at least one modality;
- manipulate at least one input according to at least one rule concerning at least one modality;
- and
- send the result of in the manipulation to at least one of the group of other modality and an application.
An electronic device capable of providing interaction between modalities, the electronic device being configured at least to
- receive at least one input from at least one modality;
- manipulate the at least one input according to at least one rule concerning at least one modality;
- and
- send the result of combining the at least one input into at least one of the group of other modality and an application.
An application development system comprising at least one framework, at least one modality application programming interface and at least one multimodal application programming interface, the system providing means for at least
- receiving at least one input from at least one modality;
- manipulating the at least one input according to at least one rule concerning at least one modality;
- sending the result of in the manipulation to at least one of the group of other modality and an application.
