Abstract: A system for adding internet functionality to a telephone call between a first caller and a second caller. The system comprises a telephony application, responsive to receiving a source telephone number associated with the first caller and a destination telephone number associated with the second caller, for extracting the numbers. A first query is constructed using the source number to access details relating to the first caller and a second query is constructed using the destination number to access details relating to the second caller. An internet related function is then performed in accordance with these details. The internet related function may be to record a telephone conversation and email it to the callers, or to email call or caller details to each of the callers, or to exchange files, such as word processing documents and images etc.

Abstract: The invention relates to a voice processing system capable of outputting voice prompts and background music. The volume of background music is progressively variable relative to the voice prompts or speech. The progressive variation is effected by multiplying the background music samples by a scaling factor and then adding together a current voice sample and the scaled background music sample. Accordingly, when the combined samples are output to the user the volume of the background music varies.

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: A method and system for distribution of information are provided in a publish and subscribe system in which a publisher application transmits a message (210) to one or more subscribing applications (208) via a messaging infrastructure. The method includes receiving (203, 303) a message at a subscribing system (202) and generating an event by the subscribing system to allow access to the message (210) by a subscribing application (208) at a reveal time (211). A counting means (205) on the subscribing system determines when it is the reveal time (211) and the event is triggered at the reveal time (211). A message (210) has a reveal time (211) common to the one or more subscribing applications (208).

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: A bus connection controller in a voice processing is for managing the connection of a timeslot on a time-division multiplex (TDM) bus to a port on an adapter. The voice processing system includes basic time-division multiplex (TDM) connection management to enable the coordination of connections between resources such as channels on line cards (SPacks or VPacks), and channels on digital signal processor (DSPs) cards that provide, amongst others things, voice recognition, text-to-speech, fax capabilities and so on. Problems are encountered when a telephone call in a voice processing system ends suddenly because one of the callers hangs up. If the telephony channel has connections with other channels or resources via a TDM bus, callers may hear spurious data. To address this problem each call is associated with its corresponding connection on the TDM bus and each connection is associated with its connection details including the adapters and ports involved in connecting the calls. When one of the calls ends all the relevant ports involved with the connection are immediately disconnected.

Abstract: A voice processing system 60 is connected via a digital trunk line 100 to a telephone switch 10, which is itself connected to a telephony network 30 by a digital trunk line 20. The digital trunk line between the switch and the network uses a first encoding law for representing the amplitude of the telephony signals, for example A-law encoding. However, applications running on the voice processing system are designed to operate on signals encoded in accordance with a different amplitude-encoding law, for example mu-law encoding. The voice processing system therefore includes in a telephone interface module 70 conversion means for converting incoming signals from the first encoding law to the second, and vice versa for outgoing signals.

Abstract: A system and method for boot failure recovery in a digital computer as a result of an attempt to load a procedure in which a flag is associated with the procedure following a loading attempt which results in failure. The flag is read on a further attempt to load the same procedure to initiate an orderly exit thereby avoiding the potential for entry into an endless loop.

Both sets of details are retrieved and an internet related function performed in accordance with these details. The internet related function may be to record the telephone conversation and for each caller to be emailed a copy of this, or it could be for each caller to be emailed details regarding the other. The system also allows other files, such as word processing documents and images etc to be exchanged.
