| 20090300503 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR NETWORK-BASED AUGMENTATIVE COMMUNICATION - The present invention discloses a method and system of augmentative communication which employs a server, a network, and a client device to generate augmentative communication output on the client device. A user on the client device receives augmentative communication output by generating a request directed to the server, which the server receives through the network. The server retrieves the requested augmentative communication content from storage and outputs it to the client device through the network. In one mode of operation, augmentative communication content is outputted directly from the server to one or more means for generating perceptible output on the client device. In a second mode of operation, the augmentative communication content is provided to the client device as a set of augmentative communication pages, whereby once the client device has received the set of pages, the connection to the server is no longer needed. Thus, the present invention provides the user with augmentative communication output that is portable, accessible from multiple devices, and requires little storage space or processing power from the user's device. A network-based method and system for creating and editing augmentative communication pages is also provided. | 12-03-2009 |
