In one example, this invention presents a method of providing the same
self-service content that is available on the web interface to users
contacting by telephone, knowing that the web and telephone are
fundamentally different user interfaces. In one embodiment, this patent
seeks to protect the general idea of how to playback web data in
real-time to the user over the speech interface. For this purpose, a
method is presented comprising of the general steps through which the web
data is initially sent to an automatic transformation module. Then, that
transformation module refines or re-structures the web data to make it
suitable for the speech interface. The algorithm in the module is
predicated on the user interface principles of cognitive complexity and
limitations on short term memory based on which FAQ types are classified
into one of the following four classes: simple, medium, complex, and
complex-complex.
