The “Call Control Requirements in a Voice Browser Framework” is a working draft of W3C, created to specify a standard for the VoiceXML telephony platform. It was intended for controlling the resources on the network edge, opposite to other types of telephony.
The main priority of the “Call Control Requirements in a Voice Browser Framework” working group is to create a prioritized list of requirements that would allow call control in a voice browser environment. Theoretically, by using this standard, one would be able to:

More and more of what Stanford does as a university is moving from physical locations (e.g., classrooms, offices, and libraries) to virtual locations on the Web and internal computer systems. Just as we make buildings accessible to people in wheelchairs, we must ensure that Stanford's online spaces are equally available to those using assistive technologies or with special access needs.
The most commonly cited motivations for creating accessible web pages are:
To comply with various federal laws (most notably the Americans with Disabilities Act
These guidelines explain how to make Web content accessible to people with disabilities. The guidelines are intended for all Web content developers (page authors and site designers) and for developers of authoring tools. The primary goal of these guidelines is to promote accessibility. However, following them will also make Web content more available to all users, whatever user agent they are using (e.g., desktop browser, voice browser, mobile phone, automobile-based personal computer, etc.) or constraints they may be operating under (e.g., noisy
What is claimed is:
1. A voice browser in a voice browser system, said voice browser being arranged at a server connected to the Internet and responsive to Dual Tone MultiFrequency (DTMF) tones received from a telecommunications network, wherein said voice browser includes:
an object model comprising elements defined in a retrieved HTML page and defining navigation positions within said HTML page;
audio means for playing an audio stream derived from an element of said HTML page;
a voice browser controller for controlling the operation of
Background
This Voice Browser PAG was announced on 15 Feb 2003. The PAG held its first meeting on March 14, 2003. The goals of the PAG, as stated in its charter were to consider 4 identified patent disclosures and
1. attempt to resolve concerns raised by the claims in the subject patents, and
2. advise the W3C Director on the probability that the above patent claims will in practice result in non-royalty-free licenses for essential claims for VoiceXML 2.0.
Process
The PAG made no substantive analysis of any of the identified patents. The
