Abstract:
A method of grouping data objects in a application processing system for generating voice applications from the data object said method comprising:forming voice applications by associating a plurality of interoperating data objects into groups each group representing a different voice application; arranging the data objects into sub-groups within said each group, each sub-group corresponding to one of a plurality of data categories of the data objects in the group each category being data objects of one type used in a voice application system including at least one category being data objects including a voice segment; creating a visual representation, for presentation on a graphical user interface, of the categories, the groups and the sub-groups which representations display symbols for the objects in the category and subgroup representations for manipulation by the user to form groups and to change the data objects associated within the groups and in so doing change the contents and functioning of voice applications; representing each subgroup in a group separately in the group representations and data objects in a group as a separate icon positioned in the appropriate subgroup representation of the group and the subgroup representation; and maintaining interactive listings for the categories, the groups and the subgroups allowing only data objects applicable to a subgroup listed in the category listings to be included in the group and subgroup listings.
