Method Detail

floor

public void floor(AbstractFloorTracker.Signal signal,
                  AbstractFloorTracker floorManager)

Listens for floor changes and updates the InformationState Must call postUpdate() if calling this method.

Specified by:

floor in interface AbstractFloorTracker.Listener

Parameters:

signal - the signal describing the change in the floor

floorManager - the floor manager itself. in this way a consumer can request e.g. to change timeouts

leftBufferUpdate

public void leftBufferUpdate(java.util.Collection<? extends IU> ius,
                             java.util.List<? extends EditMessage<? extends IU>> edits)

Queues edits for later processing. Must call postUpdate() if calling this method.

Specified by:

leftBufferUpdate in class IUModule

Parameters:

ius - list of IUs that make up the current hypothesis

edits - a list of edits since the last call

done

public void done(DialogueActIU iu)

Listens to an action manager. Queues all done IUs for post-update processing. Must call postUpdate() if calling this method.

Specified by:

done in interface AudioActionManager.Listener

postUpdate

protected void postUpdate()

To call when updates are done. Implements the queue/dequeue logic. Must be called after/at end of done(), floor() and leftBufferUpdate().
