Interactive command assistant for an interactive whiteboard appliance

A method comprising:

• generating, at an interactive whiteboard appliance, an interactive command assistant chat window, the interactive command assistant chat window comprising a prompt including a first set of response options for the prompt, wherein each of the response options comprises a command word;
• receiving of a first response option from the first set of response options;
• submitting, to an interactive command manager, the command word and causing the interactive command manager to identify a hierarchical structure from a plurality of hierarchical structures stored in a knowledge base having the command word as a non-leaf node and including a second set of response options as child nodes of the non-leaf node;
• receiving, from the interactive command manager, the second set of response options each comprising an object word corresponding to the command word;
• displaying, in the interactive command assistant chat window, the second set of response options;
• receiving, via the interactive command assistant chat window, a second response option of the second set of response options;
• submitting, to the interactive command manager, the second response option and causing the interactive command manager to determine whether a combination of the first response option and the second response option represent a complete command and, in response to determining that the combination of the first response option and the second response option represent the complete command, generate, from the first response option and the second response option, an executable command of an application executed by the interactive whiteboard appliance;
• receiving, from the interactive command manager, the executable command;
• automatically causing the interactive whiteboard appliance to execute the executable command.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions embodied thereon, the instructions when executed by one or more processors cause performance of:

• generating, at an interactive whiteboard appliance, an interactive command assistant chat window, the interactive command assistant chat window comprising a prompt including a first set of response options for the prompt, wherein each of the response options comprises a command word;
• receiving of a first response option from the first set of response options;
• submitting, to an interactive command manager, the command word and causing the interactive command manager to identify a hierarchical structure from a plurality of hierarchical structures stored in a knowledge base having the command word as a non-leaf node and including a second set of response options as child nodes of the non-leaf node;
• receiving, from the interactive command manager, the second set of response options each comprising an object word corresponding to the command word;
• displaying, in the interactive command assistant chat window, the second set of response options;
• receiving, via the interactive command assistant chat window, a second response option of the second set of response options;
• submitting, to the interactive command manager, the second response option and causing the interactive command manager to determine whether a combination of the first response option and the second response option represent a complete command and, in response to determining that the combination of the first response option and the second response option represent the complete command, generate, from the first response option and the second response option, an executable command of an application executed by the interactive whiteboard appliance;
• receiving, from the interactive command manager, the executable command;
• automatically causing the interactive whiteboard appliance to execute the executable command.
