Patent ID: 7203907

Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising: transmitting a voice-extensible markup language (“VXML”) page from a server to a second-modality gateway, the VXML page embedded with a no-input tag, the no-input tag specifying code to execute at the second-modality gateway to retrieve a server page if user input is not received for a specified amount of time; receiving a request for a hyper-text markup language (“HTML”) page from a first-modality gateway at the server; transmitting the HTML page from the server to the first-modality gateway; noting a state change of the first-modality gateway, at the server; determining a VXML page corresponding to the HTML page, at the server; updating the server page with information corresponding to the determined VXML page; transmitting an update request from the second-modality gateway to the server; receiving the update request at the server; sending the determined VXML page to the second-modality gateway; and receiving the determined VXML page at the second-modality gateway, thereby synchronizing the first-modality gateway with the second-modality gateway.
