Abstract:
A method of controlling a service application provided to a terminal from a remote server, the method comprising the steps of:receiving an audio input signal representing audio information;using a first automatic speech recognition system located in the terminal to determine whether the audio input signal includes one or more words defined by a first vocabulary, wherein portions of the audio input signal not corresponding to the one or more words defined by the first vocabulary constitute an unrecognized portion of the audio input signal;if the audio input signal includes one or more words defined by the first vocabulary, then using a terminal application part of an application protocol service logic to determine what to do with the one or more words defined by the first vocabulary;formatting the unrecognized portion of the audio input signal for inclusion in a data unit whose structure is defined by a first predefined markup language;communicating the data unit to a remote application part via a first digital data link that operates in accordance with a first application protocol; andin the remote application part, extracting the formatted unrecognized portion of the audio input signal from the data unit and using a remote application part service logic to determine what to do with the formatted unrecognized portion of the audio input signal.
