Patent attributes
The subject invention provides a unique system and method that facilitates integrating natural language input and graphics in a cooperative manner. In particular, as natural language input is entered by a user, an illustrated or animated scene can be generated to correspond to such input. The natural language input can be in sentence form. Upon detection of an end-of-sentence indicator, the input can be processed using NLP techniques and the images or templates representing at least one of the actor, action, background and/or object specified in the input can be selected and rendered. Thus, the user can nearly immediately visualize an illustration of his/her input. The input can be typed, written, or spoken—whereby speech recognition can be employed to convert the speech to text. New graphics can be created as well to allow the customization and expansion of the invention according to the user's preferences.
