Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for concurrent multimodal communication session persistence. SOLUTION: The method (Fig.6) and apparatus (600) maintains, during non-session conditions and on a per user basis, concurrent multimodal session status (EG STATES) information (604) of user agent programs configured for different concurrent modality communication during the same session (700), and re-establish a concurrent multimodal session in response to accessing the concurrent multimodal session status information (702).

Abstract:
Power supplies (116) for cable access units (110) have associated backup power supplies (120) and generate one or more power supply status indications for said backup power supplies (120). Cable access units (110) monitor and retain the generated power supply status indications. An operator unit (102) communicates periodically with the cable access units (110) to ascertain the power supply status indications. If any power supply status indications indicate an alarm condition, the operator unit (102) can display an indication of the alarm condition and the identity of the cable access unit reporting the alarm condition. Alternatively, if the number of reported alarm conditions equals or exceeds a service area alarm threshold, the operator unit (102) can display a service area alarm in lieu of displaying any individual alarms.

Abstract:
A multimodal network element (14) comprises a plurality of proxies (38a ... 38n) that each send a request for concurrent multimodal input information corresponding to multiple input modalities associated with a plurality user agent programs (30, 34) operating during a same session and a multimodal fusion engine (44). The multimodal fusion engine (44) is operatively responsive to received concurrent multimodal input information sent from the plurality of user agent programs (30, 34) sent in response to the request for concurrent different multimodal information and is operative to fuse the different multimodal input information sent from the plurality of user agent programs (30, 34) to provide concurrent multimodal communication from differing user agent programs during a same session.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus, during a session, analyze fetched modality specific instructions for at least one modality associated with a first user agent program to determine if the modality specific instructions include a concurrent multimodal tag (CMMT); and if detected, provide modality specific instructions for at least a second user agent program operating in a different modality, based on the concurrent multimodal tag. Synchronization of output from the first and second user agent programs is carried out based on the modality specific instructions.
