Abstract
A method for operating a server system that includes a plurality of servers for processing a voice command recorded by a recording device connected, via an interface, to the server system includes, in response to the recording of the voice command, reading in a session activation signal from the recording device; checking if there is an association between the session activation signal and a session ID; if it is established that there is the association between the session activation signal and the session ID, ascertaining an availability of a prior server that previously processed a session assigned to the session ID; and activating the session on the prior server if it is available, but, if it is not available, then activating the session on a free server of the server system by loading the session from a session database. The voice command is received by the corresponding server during the activation of the session or even subsequent to the activation of the session, in order to be processed.
