Abstract
A system for easily creating a menu structure for the control of an electronic device via a telephone is disclosed. The system contains an editor for easily creating a menu structure design, a memory table for containing the parameters of the menu structure design, and a logic engine for implementing the menu structure design according to the memory table. The use of a memory table to define each menu structure allows multiple menu structures to be available for execution by the engine and allows switching between them. It also allows certain user inputs to be defined as short cuts to reach other portions of the menu structure.
