Abstract:
Embodiments include determining a reference value on a first device; broadcasting the reference value from the first device; connecting the first device to a second device if the second device requests data from the first device; transmitting any new data if the second device requests data from the first device; generating and broadcasting a new reference value if the first device has new data; broadcasting the reference value from the first device again if the first device does not have new data; receiving a reference value in the second device from the first device; and if the received reference value does not match the stored reference value then transmitting a request from the second device for new data from the first device, receiving new data from the first device into the second device, and storing the received reference value as a new stored reference value. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
A service server apparatus is provided which can easily cope with a correction of an error of a task performed based on the content of verbal speeches of a speaker. The service server apparatus includes a service activating unit that receives an instruction for performing a different task from a task performed by an application relating to a speech communication, a telephone/call control enabler that records verbal speeches of the speaker during a speech communication between a plurality of speech communication terminal device, a speech recognizing enabler which performs a task based on the recorded speeches and which generates task data including text data representing the result of the performance and speech data representing the result of the performance, a text translating enabler, and a speech synthesizing enabler.
Abstract:
This invention provides methods and apparatus for providing customized prior-to-answer and in-call media playback telephony services. The services allow for playback of customized media content to calling parties in the form of customized ringback tones, engaged tones, call holding, call transfer tones and other content such as pre-recorded announcements. The media content for playback is stored in equipment associated with subscribers and playback of the media content is originated from the subscriber equipment. The invention allows subscribers to give their telephony services a personal touch as they can choose different items of media content for playback to different calling parties. As the media content is stored on subscriber equipment local to subscribers, no additional network resources such as data storage and data processing facilities are required.
Abstract:
The signal processing device comprises the adaptive gain calculation unit configured to calculate and output the adaptive gain for processing the voice reception output signal, by utilizing at least the voice transmission input signal and the relative volume value indicating the predetermined relative sound volume ratio between the voice transmission input signal and the voice reception output signal; and the multiplication unit configured to calculate the voice reception output signal by multiplying the signal based on the voice reception input signal by the value based on the adaptive gain.
Abstract:
Some embodiments of the present invention include placing a smart device and a peripheral device in pairing mode; detecting at least one pairing motion event with a dual use piezo circuit within the peripheral device; transmitting an indication of the occurrence of the at least one pairing motion event to the smart device; receiving in the smart device the indication of the occurrence of the at least one pairing motion event in satisfaction of at least one pairing condition; and pairing the smart device with the peripheral device in response to satisfaction of the at least one pairing condition. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract:
An echo canceler-suppressor speakerphone arrangement effectively addresses the limitations of regeneration and reverberant return echo inherent in the design of speakerphones. The tendency for regeneration is eliminated by employing adaptive echo cancellation in the receive path of the speakerphone arrangement to cancel speakerphone talker echo across a hybrid and thereby reduce the local loop gain to below unity. And the generation of a reverberant return echo to the far-end party is avoided by employing adaptive echo suppression in the transmit path of the speakerphone arrangement. Near-full and full duplex operation are regularly achieved since the receive path remains open at all times and the transmit path has its gain reduced only to the level necessary to suppress excessive reverberant return echo.
