Abstract

In a multistation intercommunication system human speech is processed on at least two respective levels of generic complexity. The speech is received in one or more origin stations in parallel and a necessity is detected to understand the speech in an associated application environment. Intercommunication is controlled in a distributed manner, by detecting temporal speech items to be recognized and dynamically assigning speech items amongst one or more of a plurality of distributed speech recognizing facilities to eventually generate recognized items. Further intercommunication is controlled to understand recognized items in a further context of the application in question through assigning the recognized items amongst one or more of a plurality of speech understanding facilities to generate speech items that have been understood. Assigning is effected in a distributed manner as based on a combination of contingency and statistics.
