Abstract:
A method and system for operating a multitenancy telephony system including a call queue that stores call requests received from a plurality of users; an expandable and contractible telephony resource cluster that establishes call sessions for call requests; a analysis system that calculates capacity requirements of the system; a resource allocator that manages the scaling and operation of the telephony resource cluster; and a plurality of telephony network channels that are used as telephony communication channels for call sessions.
Abstract:
Techniques and systems for recalling voicemail messages from remote voicemail systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for recalling a voicemail message from a target mailbox can include: accessing a voicemail system by a caller using a device; authenticating the caller using speaker verification; and deleting the voicemail message from the target mailbox. The target mailbox owner can be a member of the voicemail system, while the caller can be a non-member of that voicemail system. The device may be configured to support a telephony user interface (TUI), for example.
Abstract:
Techniques for providing presence services to black phones are described herein. According to one embodiment, a call is received from a caller party to a called party, where the call is originated from a POTS device that is not capable of handling IMS protocols. In response to the call, a presence service provider is used to retrieve presence information about the called party using the IMS protocols, where the presence information indicates a current presence state of the called party. Then the current presence state of the called party is announced to the caller party by playing a prerecorded voice message representing the current presence state of the called party. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
Abstract:
Verfahren zur automatischen Darbietung von Information während eines Telefongespräches zwischen zwei Gesprächspartnern einer Telefonverbindung, wobei ein mit Parametern der Telefonverbindung oder ein mit dem Inhalt des Telefongespräches in Zusammenhang stehender Suchbegriff generiert wird, wobei aus einem oder mehreren Suchbegriffen eine Suchanfrage zur Übergabe an eine Suchfunktion erzeugt wird, die damit einen Datenbestand durchsucht, wobei als Suchergebnis eine Information zurückgegeben wird und wobei die Information im Rahmen des Telefongespräches zumindest einem der Gesprächspartner dargeboten wird.
Abstract:
In a speech synthesis technique used in a network (110, 115), a set of text words is accepted by a speech engine software function (210) in a client device (105). From the set of text words, an invalid subset of text words is determined for which the text words are not in a word synthesis dictionary of the client device. The invalid subset of text words is transmitted over the network to a server device (120), which generates a set of word pronunciations including at least a portion of the text words of the invalid subset of text words and pronunciations associated with each of the text words. The client device uses the pronunciations for speech synthesis and may store them in a local word synthesis dictionary (220) stored in a memory (150) of the client device.
Abstract:
Pour que l'usager d'un terminal dispose de données vocales transmises par un serveur vocal (SV) pendant un service vocal, un module (MDC) détermine une commande de mémorisation en fonction de chaque message d'usager (MU) transmis par le terminal, et le serveur mémorise des données d'un dernier message vocal (DMV) mémorisé et transmis préalablement au terminal en correspondance avec un identificateur du terminal si une commande de mémorisation (CM) est déterminée. Le module détermine une commande d'écoute de données mémorisées en fonction de chaque message d'usager (MU) afin que le serveur transmette un message vocal incluant les données mémorisées du dernier message vocal (DMV) au terminal d'usager si la commande d'écoute est déterminée. L'usager du terminal commande aussi grâce à l'interprétation des messages d'usager, la suppression de données mémorisées et la sélection de données à mémoriser ou à écouter.
Abstract:
A system and method of using voice to access information in a call center is disclosed. Providing a voice response server to handle requests from local and remote administrators allows a call center to be managed even when administrators are physically distant from the call center. The voice response server may adhere to VoiceXML to process requests for call center information from administrators.
Abstract:
A method for accessing and browsing the internet through the use of a telephone and the associated DTMF signals is disclosed. The preferred embodiment provides a system that converts the information content of a web page from text to speech (voice signals), signals the hyperlink selections of a web page in an audio manner, and allows selection of the hyperlinks through the use of DTMF signals generated from a telephone keypad. Upon receiving a DTMF signal corresponding to a hyperlink, the corresponding web page is fetched and again delivered to the user via one of the available delivery methods such as voice, fax-on-demand, electronic mail, or regular mail.

Abstract:
There is provided a transmission device, including circuitry configured to receive alert information including metadata related to a predetermined pronunciation of a message. The circuitry is configured to generate vocal information for the message based on the metadata included in the alert information. The circuitry is further configured to transmit emergency information that includes the message and the generated vocal information for the message.
