Abstract: A communications terminal that displays the individual information of the caller at the start of a communication caused by an incoming call, comprising: a FLASH-ROM 10 forming a database that stores individual information for registered individuals and voice spectrum information for the individuals, in a mutually associated manner; a voice spectrum analyzing section 6 that extracts the voice spectrum information of a caller from the voice of the caller at the start of a communication caused by an incoming call; an MPU 7 that identifies a caller from among individuals in a database by comparing the voice spectrum information of the caller with voice spectrum information in the database; and an LCD 17 forming a display section that displays the individual information of the identified caller.

Abstract: A method for alerting a participant in a conference call that the participant is speaking with insufficient volume is disclosed. The method includes determining that someone in a conference call between multiple endpoints is speaking with insufficient volume. The method further includes determining an active participant in the conference call, the active participants based on who is speaking or has spoken within a predetermined time interval and selectively communicating a speak-louder message to the active participant.

Abstract: Indications of which participant is providing information during a multi-party conference. Each participant has equipment to display information being transferred during the conference. A sourcing signaler residing in the participant equipment provides a signal that indicates the identity of its participant when this participant is providing information to the conference. The source indicators of the other participant equipment receive the signal and cause a UI to indicate that the participant identified by the received signal is providing information (e.g. the UI can causes the identifier to change appearance). An audio discriminator is used to distinguish between an acoustic signal that was generated by a person speaking from that generated in a band-limited manner. The audio discriminator analyzes the spectrum of detected audio signals and generates several parameters from the spectrum and from past determinations to determine the source of an audio signal on a frame-by-frame basis.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a system, method, apparatus, means, and computer program code for identifying a speaker participating in a conference. During the conference or collaboration event, users may participate in the conference via user or client devices (e.g., computers) that are connected to or in communication with a server or collaboration system. A person participating in and/or moderating a conference may want to know which of the other participants is speaking at any give time, both for those participants that have a unique channel to the conference (e.g., a single participant participating in the conference via a single telephone or other connection) as well as participants that are aggregated behind a single channel to the conference (e.g., three participants in a conference room with a single telephone line or other connection to the conference).

Abstract: Authentication of voice message recipient network addresses employs generating (102) and storing (104) a nullnetwork filenull that includes nullvoice clipsnull and associated network addresses that are extracted from voice messages received across a network (10) from voice message systems (16, 18). A voice clip is the first one to three seconds of voice extracted from each received voice message. Over time, the network file will grow to contain multiple voice clips and associated network voice message addresses. When a voice message originator subsequently enters a recipient's network address (106), the originating voice message system searches (114) the network file for the network address, retrieves the associated voice clip (116), and plays it for the voice message originator to authenticate the recipient's network address. Voice authentication of a voice message originator entails encoding (134) into a nullvoice print file,null original voice clips and associated network addresses received from positively identified voice message originators. Thereafter, when a questionable voice message is received (138), the voice message system extracts a new voice clip (142), generates a new voice print (144), and compares it with the original voice print associated with the voice message address (148). If the voice prints are substantially the same, the received voice message is annotated with a nullauthenticatingnull message (150).

Abstract: A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for managing voice messages based on emotion characteristics of the voice messages. First, a plurality of voice messages that are transferred over a telecommunication network are received. Thereafter, such voice messages are stored on a storage medium. An emotion associated with voice signals of the voice messages is then determined. The voice messages are organized based on the determined emotion. Access to the organized voice messages is then permitted.

Abstract: Authentication of voice message recipient network addresses employs generating (102) and storing (104) a “network file” that includes “voice clips” and associated network addresses that are extracted from voice messages received across a network (10) from voice message systems (16, 18).

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for adding conference call speaker identification capabilities to a conference call bridge server. The system uses both speech recognition as well as line activity to determine which conference call participant is speaking at any given time. This speaker identification data is broadcast to all conference call participants in various formats, such as in the form of audio, text, and multimedia messages. This allows different types of terminal devices to receive and process the speaker identification data and present it to the participants.
