Abstract: The present invention discloses an arrangement utilizes a certain microphone assembly for facilitating audio source tracking systems in communication systems. It can be applied to both single and array microphones. The principal idea is to enhance the sound level acoustically in the critical high frequency range, thereby increasing the effective signal-to-noise ratio both for sound pickup and localization algorithms. This is done by enclosing the microphone into a channel or a small cavity (a Helmholtz-resonator), thereby introducing a high-frequency response peak (resonance), fairly broad-band.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and a method making an archived conference or presentation searchable after being stored in the archive server. According to the invention, one or more media streams coded according to H.323 or SIP are transmitted to a conversion engine for converting multimedia content into a standard streaming format, which may be a cluster of files, each representing a certain medium (audio, video, data) and/or a structure file that synchronizes and associates the different media together. When the conversion is carried out, the structure file is copied and forwarded to a post-processing server. The post-processing server includes i.a. a speech recognition engine generating a text file of alphanumeric characters representing all recognized words in the audio file. The text file is then entered into the cluster of files associating each identified word to a timing tag in the structure file. After this post-processing, finding key words and associated points of time in the media stream could easily be executed by a conventional search engine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an audio communication system and method with improved acoustic characteristics. A stereo detector is introduced in the echo cancellator of the system. When stereo in far-end audio is detected, converging of the adaptive model of the cancellator is suspended. According to alternative embodiments of the invention, the system is extended with a second echo cancellator removing the stereo image of the echo signal, in addition to a miscellaneous processing unit configured to attenuate the signal at certain events implying a large stereo echo contribution. A stereo collapsing unit is also introduced on the channels of the far-end audio to remove the stereo image at certain events to further suppress the echo contribution.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and a system for initiating, routing and scheduling conferences. A dial URL is introduced with a prefix unique for calling purposes. When a user activates such an URL in his web browser, a content handler associated with the browser will recognize the type of URL and send a request to a managing tool to determine an available calling route between the user's preferred end-point and the end-point being addressed in the URL with the required resources. The managing tool then schedule the resources and initiate the call between the end-points. The invention allows for a one-click initiation of ad-hoc calls and conferences.
