METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROL OF AN APPLICATION

摘要

The invention describes a dialog management system and method for control of an application (A1, A2, ..., An). The dialog management system (1) for controlling an application (A1, A2, ..., An) comprises a mobile pointing device comprising a camera for generating an image (22, 23, 31) of a target area in the direction (D) in which the mobile pointing device (2) is aimed and a transmission interface (4a, 4b) for transmitting the target area image (22, 23, 31) to a local interaction device (7). The local interaction device (7) comprises an audio interface arrangement (5) for detecting and processing speech input and generating and outputting audible prompts, a core dialog engine (11) for coordinating a dialog flow by interpreting user input and generating output prompts, an application interface (12) for communication between the dialog management system (1) and the application (A1, A2, ..., An), a receiving interface (13a, 13b) for receiving the target area image (22, 23, 31) from the mobile pointing device (2) and an image processing arrangement (14) for processing the target area image (22, 23, 31).
