System and method for dialog caching
A system for providing efficient data handling for automated dialogs and the resulting data is disclosed. The system for providing efficient data handling for automated dialogs and the resulting data includes a data provider, a dialog, a dialog delivery system suitable for delivering the dialog based on data from the data provider, and, a interactor suitable for interaction with the dialog delivered by the dialog delivery system, wherein the interactor provides dialog feedback efficiently stored locally until completion of the dialog and upon completion transmits the feedback to the dialog delivery system.
1. A system for providing efficient data handling for automated dialogs and the resulting data, said system comprising:
a data provider;
a dialog;
a dialog delivery system suitable for delivering said dialog by interacting with at least one subject based on data from said data provider; and,
an interactor suitable for interaction with said dialog delivered by said dialog delivery system, wherein feedback resulting from interacting with the subject according to the dialog is efficiently stored locally until completion of said dialog and upon completion the interactor transmits the dialog feedback to said dialog delivery system.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein said data includes information on said dialog to be presented.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein said data includes information on the individual that said dialog is presented to.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein said dialog feedback includes results determined at least partly by dialog questions posited to the subject according to the dialog.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein said dialog delivery system includes a data distributor designed to transmit data.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein said data distributor is formulated in XML.
7. The system of claim 5 , wherein said data distributor is used to determine when and what data is transmitted.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein said dialog delivery system includes a dialog analysis processor.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein said dialog analysis processor analyzes the possible paths within said dialog.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein said possible paths are analyzed by traversing said dialog.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein said dialog analysis processor provides a tree representation of said dialog identifying paths and logic associated with decisions within the tree.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein said dialog analysis processor provides a flow diagram.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein a unique relationship exists between said dialog and the associated tree.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the associated tree is represented by data in a XML format.
15. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a delivery provider.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein said delivery provider includes a dialog caching engine.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein said dialog caching engine includes a user cache, a data receiver, a dialog cache, a dialog results, and a dialog result saver.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein said user cache includes data in a structure.
19. The system of claim 18 , wherein said data in the structure includes information required to complete the dialog associated with a particular individual.
20. The system of claim 17 , wherein said data receiver receives at least one of user data and dialog data.
21. The system of claim 17 , wherein said data receiver includes a mechanism to store the data within the dialog caching engine.
22. The system of claim 16 , wherein said dialog caching engine is utilized to substitute variables and decide how to present a dialog and what dialog to present.
23. The system of claim 16 , wherein said dialog caching engine receives data associated with said dialog and the user prior to dialog execution.
