Abstract

A method of presenting a multi-modal help dialog move to a user in a multi-modal dialog system is disclosed. The method comprises presenting an audio portion of the multi-modal help dialog move that explains available ways of user inquiry and presenting a corresponding graphical action performed on a user interface associated with the audio portion. The multi-modal help dialog move is context-sensitive and uses current display information and dialog contextual information to present a multi-modal help move that is currently related to the user. A user request or a problematic dialog detection module may trigger the multi-modal help move.
