ABSTRACT:
A system and method for efficiently distributing voice call data received from speech recognition servers over a telephone network having a shared processing resource is disclosed. Incoming calls are received from phone lines and assigned grammar types by speech recognition servers. A request for processing the voice call data is sent to a resource manager which monitors the shared processing resource and identifies a preferred processor within the shared resource. The resource manager sends an instruction to the speech recognition server to send the voice call data to a preferred processor for processing. The preferred processor is determined by known processor efficiencies for voice call data having the assigned grammar type of the incoming voice call data and a measure of processor loads. While the system is operating, the resource manger develops and updates a history of each processor. The histories include processing efficiency values for all grammar types received. The processing efficiencies are stored, tabulated and assigned usage number values for each processor. When incoming voice call data is receive, the resource manages evaluates the total sum of the usage numbers for processing requests assigned to each processor and the usage number for the grammar type of the incoming data as applied to each processor. The incoming data is distributed to the processor with the lowest sum of total of usage numbers for assigned requests and the usage number assigned to the incoming data for that processor.
