    Abstract: A terminal includes a raster-scan display device and a refresh buffer having bit planes (1-6) each with a respective bit storage location corresp. to each addressable pel position on the display screen. The bit planes are addressed in coordination with the line-by-line scanning of the display device to provide multi-bit per pel output data defining the colour and/or intensity of each pel on the screen. In order to store alphanumeric data on such a terminal, high resolution luminance data, defining alphanumeric characters each as a selection of 'on' bits within a respective character box, is stored in a bit plane (luminance plane 1). At least one further bit plane (attribute plane 2) is used to store low resolution colour data which defines at least the colour and/or intensity of the foreground and background of the characters.

    Abstract: Using the Internet World Wide Web (WWW) network 320, a WWW Client 310 can communicate with a WWW Server 330 to request the reconfiguration of or to generate software which controls a voice processing application. A voice response system client communicates with a voice response system server to alter the configuration of the voice response system or control the execution of software on said voice response system which enables a voice application program to be generated. The output of the voice response system ordinarily destined for display on a visual display unit of a local terminal is directed to the voice response system server. The voice response system server forwards the data to a voice response system client. The voice response system client generates data in a first format useable by said WWW client terminal from data in a second format received from said voice response system and generates data in said second format useable by said voice response system from data in said first format received from WWW client terminal, that is, the voice response system client dynamically generates HTML data from the data generated by the voice response system for transmission to and subsequent display at the WWW client terminal and visa versa.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a voice processing system capable of varying the speed of output of digitized audio data stored therein. The digitized audio data is stored using blocks of LPC coefficients. Each block is sufficient to allow twenty milliseconds of speech to be generated therefrom. Periodically, or selectably, the utilization of particular blocks is repeated resulting in a decrease in the speed of output of the speech synthesized therefrom. Alternatively, selectably blocks of LPC coefficients are omitted from use thereby producing a corresponding increase in speech output.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to establishing a communication channel between two communication systems having computer telephony integration (CTI). Many CTI systems are configured into incoming and outgoing lines according to the anticipated demands. Consequently, if sufficient outgoing or incoming capacity is unavailable at a given time to support a communication channel of required characteristics, the users of such a system must conventionally wait until sufficient capacity becomes available. However, the present invention determines who the intended addressee is and can instruct the CTI system associated with that addressee to instigate the establishment of a communication channel to the user who originally desired the connection. The instructions can be sent to the intended addressee using for example, another communication network, such as the Internet or other data communications network. This arrangement also allows the call to be placed in the reverse direction, where this is favourable for tariff reasons.
