A software system is provided to allow a computer to install and process web applications according to the invention. Such web applications are written as web pages that have access to the full range of operating system resources, including those not accessible through a web browser. Preferably, a web application is built using three types of languages used for constructing web pages, namely: (a) a visual presentation language; (2) a data modeling language; and (3) a scripting language for embedding logic. The software system preferably comprises a web application manager, an operating system interface module, a scripting language interpreter, and optionally a web browser and / or a data modeling language processor. Various other features such as data caching and security filtering are provided in accordance with such a system.

A system and method are described for automatically detecting calendar events within a free-form email message. For example, a system according to one embodiment of the invention for automatically detecting calendar events within a free-form email message potentially including one or more attachments comprising: a pre-processor to detect one or more keywords within a free-form email message and / or free-form attachments, the keywords indicating whether the free-form email message or free-form attachments contain a calendar event, the pre-processor identifying the free-form email message and / or free-form attachments as potentially containing calendar data upon detecting the one or more keywords; and a natural language processor to further process text from the free-form email message and / or free-form attachments to determine whether the free-form email message and / or free-form attachments contain a calendar event, the natural language processor to parse the email message and / or attachments and evaluate the email message and / or attachments using natural language processing (NLP) techniques to determine the existence of one or more calendar events; and a calendar event generator to extract calendar data from the email message and / or attachments in response to the natural language processor detecting a calendar event, the calendar event generator to update a calendar using the extracted calendar data.

A speech synthesis apparatus includes a text obtaining device that obtains text data for speech synthesis from the outside, a language processor that carries out morphological analysis / parsing to the text data, a prosodic processor that outputs, to a speech synthesizer, a synthesis unit string based on the prosodic and language related attributes of the text data such as accents and word classes, the speech synthesizer that generates synthesized speech from the synthesis unit string, and a speech waveform output device that reproduces a prescribed amount of output synthesized speech after it is accumulated or sequentially as it is output.

The invention provides a dialogue processing apparatus and method. An intensity of an acoustic signal that is input in real time is monitored, and speech recognition has started is determined when theintensity of the input acoustic signal is equal to or greater than a reference value, a user is allowed to start speech recognition by an utterance without an additional trigger. A vehicle can include the apparatus and method. The apparatus includes: a monitor to compare an input signal level with a reference level in real time and to determine that speech is input when the input signal level isgreater than the reference level; a speech recognizer to output a text utterance by performing speech recognition on the input signal when it is determined that the speech is input; a natural languageprocessor to extract a domain and a keyword based on the utterance; and a dialogue manager to determine whether a previous context is maintained based on the domain and the keyword.

Management of information includes analyzing an inquiry with a language processor, and generating a keyword associated with the inquiry based on the analysis. Further, it may be determined whether an inquiry with the generated keyword previously has been received and stored in a memory and, when it is determined that such an inquiry previously has been received, the inquiry is retrieved from the memory. A recipient of the inquiry is assigned based on an inputted recipient or the keyword, and a recipient of an answer to the inquiry is designated. The inquiry is transmitted to the assigned recipient of the inquiry. An answer to the inquiry is received, the inquiry is marked as answered, and the answer is transmitted to the designated recipient of the answer. The inquiry, the keyword associated with the inquiry, and the answer to the inquiry are stored in the memory.
