A multimodal network element (14) comprises a plurality of proxies (38a ... 38n) that each send a request for concurrent multimodal input information corresponding to multiple input modalities associated with a plurality user agent programs (30, 34) operating during a same session and a multimodal fusion engine (44). The multimodal fusion engine (44) is operatively responsive to received concurrent multimodal input information sent from the plurality of user agent programs (30, 34) sent in response to the request for concurrent different multimodal information and is operative to fuse the different multimodal input information sent from the plurality of user agent programs (30, 34) to provide concurrent multimodal communication from differing user agent programs during a same session. |
