A conversational computing system that provides a universal coordinated multi-modal conversational user interface (CUI)(10) across a plurality of conversationally aware applications (11) (i.e., applications that "speak" conversational protocols) and conventional applications (12). The conversationally aware applications (11) communicate with a conversational kernel (14) via conversational application APIs (13). The conversational kernel (14) controls the dialog across applications and devices (local and networked) on the basis of their registered conversational capabilities and requirements and provides a unified conversational user interface and conversational services and behaviors. The conversational computing system may be built on top of a conventional operating system and APIs (15) and conventional device hardware (16). The conversational kernel (14) handles all I/O processing and controls conversational engines (18). The conversational kernel (14) converts voice requests into queries and converts outputs and results into spoken messages using conversational engines (18) and conversational arguments (17). The conversational application API (13) conveys all the information for the conversational kernel (14) to transform queries into application calls and conversely convert output into speech, appropriately sorted before being provided to the user.

L'invention porte sur un système informatique conversationnel qui assure l'interface (10) (CI) utilisateur conversationnelle, multi-modale, coordonnée, universelle entre une pluralité d'applications (11) compatibles sur le plan conversationnel (telles que des applications qui <= parlent >= le langage des protocoles conversationnels) et des applications (12) classiques. Les applications (11) compatibles sur le plan conversationnel communiquent avec un noyau (14) conversationnel via des interfaces API (13) d'applications conversationnelles. Le noyau (14) conversationnel gère le dialogue entre les applications et les dispositifs (locaux et en réseau) sur la base de leurs capacités et exigences conversationnelles enregistrées, et assure l'interface utilisateur conversationnelle unifiée, ainsi que des services et des comportements conversationnels. Le système informatique conversationnel peut venir se superposer à un système d'exploitation classique et à des API (15) ainsi qu'au matériel (16) de dispositifs classiques. Le noyau (16) conversationnel gère tous les traitements E/S et commande les moteurs (18) conversationnels. Le noyau (14) conversationnel convertit des demandes vocales en requêtes et convertit les sorties et les résultats en messages parlés au moyen des moteurs (18) conversationnels et des arguments (17) conversationnels. L'API (13) d'application conversationnelle achemine toutes les informations destinées au noyau (14) conversationnel de façon à transformer les requêtes en appels d'applications et à convertir la sortie en paroles, délivrées à l'utilisateur après traitement approprié.
