Application ID: 10039118

Base Claim:
1. A method for accessing data from an enterprise data system via voice input, comprising: authenticating a login, wherein the authenticating comprises: querying a database with a voice identifier, in response to the querying, verifying the voice identifier and receiving a password for the enterprise data system from the database, and establishing a connection with the enterprise data system using the password for the enterprise data system; enabling access to a domain of the enterprise data system, wherein each of a plurality of domains of the enterprise data system corresponds to a respective object or type of data; determining a navigation context; receiving a navigation command; updating the navigation context in response to the navigation command; providing a system prompt based on the navigation context; receiving a spoken language query corresponding to the navigation context; converting the spoken language query into a data query and executing the data query to retrieve data that corresponds to the data query in the accessed domain; and providing feedback data in a verbal format, wherein the feedback data corresponds to data retrieved from the accessed domain and is based, at least in part, on the navigation context, and the providing the feedback data comprises: generating audio data by performing a text-to-speech conversion on retrieved data; and generating a verbalized system response by interspersing the audio data with waveform data of prompts.

Claim 9:
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the providing the feedback data comprises: defining a slotted data string corresponding to a grammatical form in which data are to be presented; embedding data retrieved from the enterprise data system in slots defined in the slotted data string to form an embedded data text string; passing the embedded data text string to a text-to-speech conversion component; receiving digital waveform data from the text-to-speech conversion component corresponding to the embedded data text string; streaming the digital waveform data to a device that produces an audible sound in response to processing the digital waveform data to produce a verbalized feedback.
