Abstract
A computer implemented method, a computer program product, and a data processing system attach audio generated scripts to graphical representations of applications. A mobile device records an audio instruction. The mobile device then converts the audio instruction into a command script and associates the command script with a document identifier. The mobile device then forwards the document identifier and the associated command script to a target location. The command script can then be utilized at the target location to make changes to a document identified by the document identifier.
Claims17
A computer implemented method for attaching an audio generated script to a document identifier within a data processing system, the computer implemented method comprising:
- creating a document identifier, the document identifier identifying a network address of a document to be opened and defining a format for a generated script;
- receiving a command from a user indicating that changes should be made to a document, the command including a recording of a spoken audio instruction from the user;
- converting the audio instruction into a command script;
- and
- forwarding the document identifier and the command script to a target location within a data processing system, the document identifier designating one or more underlying documents regardless of whether the one or more documents is open in an application or not open in an application.
A computer-readable non-transitory medium having a computer program product encoded thereon for attaching an audio generated script to a document identifier, the computer-readable non-transitory medium having a computer program product encoded thereon comprising computer usable program code for:
- receiving a command from a user indicating that changes should be made to a document, the command including a recording of a spoken audio instruction from the user;
- creating a document identifier, the document identifier identifying a network address of a document to be opened and defining a format for a generated script;
- converting the audio instruction into a command script;
- and
- forwarding the document identifier and the command script to a target location within a data processing system,
- the target location for running an application type associated with the one or more underlying documents and for executing the command script on the one or more underlying documents in order to make changes on the one or more underlying documents indicated by the recorded audio instructions.
A data processing system comprising:
- a storage device, wherein the storage device includes computer usable program code for:
- receiving a command from a user indicating that changes should be made to a document;
- creating a document identifier, the document identifier identifying a network address of a document to be opened and defining a format for a generated script;
- receiving an audio instruction;
- converting the audio instruction into a command script;
- forwarding the document identifier and the associated command script to a target location within a data processing system;
- determining whether the script should be immediately run or run at a later time;
- responsive to determining the script should run at a later time, identifying the later time at which the script should be run and running the script at the later time;
- responsive to determining that the script should be run immediately, determining whether the script is to be sent to another user;
- responsive to determining the script is to be sent to another user, forwarding the script to another user to make changes to the document as indicated in the script commands;
- and
- responsive to determining the script is not to be sent to another user, saving the script for later review or execution.
