Hand-ear user interface for hand-held device
InactiveUS6978127B1Small sizeInput/output for user-computer interactionInterconnection arrangementsInformation processingPersonalization
A hand-held information processing device, such as a mobile phone, has a thumb wheel that lets the user scan a circular array of options. Each respective one of the options is represented by a respective audio output that gets played out when the wheel is turned a notch up or down. This enables the user to select an option with one hand and without having to look at the device. It also allows for a form factor smaller than that of a conventional mobile phones since a keypad is not needed for entering digits to make a call from a personalized directory.

Synonyms mechanism for natural language systems
Roughly described, a natural language interface to a back-end application incorporates synonyms automatically added to user input to enhance the natural language interpretation. Synonyms can be learned from user input and written into a synonyms database. Their selection can be based on tokens identified in user input. Natural language interpretation can be performed by agents arranged in a network, which parse the user input in a distributed manner. In an embodiment, a particular agent of the natural language interpreter receives a first message that includes the user input, returns a message claiming at least a portion of the user input, and subsequently receives a second message delegating actuation of at least that portion to the particular agent.
