Abstract

In a multi-modal user interface, user inputs may be made in various different ways. For instance, the user might use a keyboard, a speech system, a vision system, a mouse or pen. Different inputs made by the user may be related and may have different significance. A processing system detects and resolves ambiguities and/or conflicts in inputs made by the user using the different input modes available.
