Method For Operating And/Or Controlling A Dialog System

The invention relates to a method for operating and a method for controlling a dialog system, wherein the dialog system comprises a local dialog unit for detecting dialog inputs and for outputting dialog outputs as well as an external dialog unit having a data connection to the local dialog unit for analyzing detected dialog inputs and determining dialog outputs based thereon. At least one probable future course of dialog consisting of dialog inputs and/or dialog outputs is calculated and transmitted to the local dialog unit by the external dialog unit. Said course of dialog is received and saved by the local dialog unit. The saved course of dialog is called up in the event of an interruption to the data connection between the local dialog unit and the external dialog unit. Dialog inputs are detected and/or dialog outputs are output based on the called-up course of dialog.
