Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for determining the ballpark position of a mobile wireless unit. SOLUTION: This system shares a computer 9 and a database 10 which is especially defined between plural switching station 5 for servicing many base stations 4 for mobile wireless unit, and the base station 4 services many antennas and transmitting/receiving sites in a cellular area previously defined. A measurement result of signal intensity in the base station 4 is transmitted to the shared computer 9 via the switching station 5. The computer 9 calculates a practical small area for search using that measurement result if the user of the mobile wireless unit needing a support is helpless to determine its own position. Thus calculated area and database supply thus calculated detailed mapping to an emergency support center for processing information. In the mapping, specified features topography, building, signal, etc., used in a query to narrow down the communicator's position into a small part are emphasized.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a user to reproduce short parts of a message containing terms that respective representations show without reproducing the message of a part longer than a part that needs to be heard actually by displaying symbols representing the continuity of respective sounds along a time scale in response to the detection of the continuation of the sound. SOLUTION: The voice mail system 1, a display device 2, and a means 4 for displaying a graph 11 of a reproduction elapsed time are provided. Further, a speech recognition means 12 for recognizing a limited vocabulary of words is provided. This speech recognition means 12 operates in temporal connection with a generating means 4 for a signal indicating the elapsed time and generates a signal for displaying a print character corresponding to a voiced number at a 3-hour position corresponding to the point of time when the voice of the word representing respective numbers is detected on a reproduction elapsed time time graph 11. Therefore, the user can speedily confirm a message without reproducing and hearing a message that is more than required.

Abstract: A CONFERENCE SERVER (30, 93) SYSTEM, FOR INTERNAL USE IN THE PUBLIC SWITCHED TELEPHONE NETWORK (PSTN) (1, 104-108), LINKS TO PUBLIC DATA COMMUNICATION NETWORKS (E.G. THE INTERNET) (16, 116) FOR DISTRIBUTING COMPUTER DISPLAYABLE DATA BETWEEN PARTICIPANTS IN VOICE TELEPHONE CONFERENCES. THE SERVER SYSTEM INCLUDES A COMPUTER SUB-SYSTEM FOR STORING DATA GENERATED BY THE PARTICIPANTS AND DISTRIBUTING THE DATA IN COORDINATION WITH VOICE PRESENTATIONS OF RESPECTIVE PARTICIPANTS. DATA SO STORED AND DISTRIBUTED INCLUDES COMPUTER-DISPLAYABLE DATA. OTHER DATA HANDLED BY THE COMPUTER SUBSYSTEM REPRESENTS COMMANDS AND FUNCTIONAL REQUESTS ISSUED BY PARTICIPANTS WHICH PERTAIN TO THE HANDLING OF COMPUTER-DISPLAYABLE DATA AND VOICE PARAMETERS OF THE CONFERENCE. CONFERENCE PARTICIPANTS, HAVING SEPARATE AND CONCURRENT ACCESS TO BOTH THE PSTN AND THE DATA NETWORK, RECEIVE AND VIEW COMPUTER-DISPLAYABLE DATA PREPARED BY ONE OF THE PARTICIPANTS IN COORDINATION WITH THE RESPECTIVE VOICE CONFERENCE. THE CONFERENCE SERVER SYSTEM CONNECTS TO VOICE CONFERENCE MANAGEMENT RESOURCES OF THE PSTN IN A MANNER ENABLING THE SERVER SYSTEM TO CONTROL VOICE PARAMETERS OF A VOICE CONFERENCE IN RESPONSE TO DATA REQUESTS RECEIVED FROM PARTICIPANTS (E.G. REQUESTS FROM HEARING-IMPAIRED PARTICIPANTS FOR ENHANCED AUDIO SERVICE), AS WELL AS ENABLING THE CONFERENCE MANAGEMENT RESOURCES TO CONTROL FUNCTIONS PERFORMED IN RESPECT TO DISTRIBUTION OF DISPLAYABLE DATA IN RESPONSE TO SPOKEN REQUESTS UTTERED BY THE PARTICIPANTS, WHEN THE TELEPHONE SYSTEM CONTAINS APPROPRIATE SPEECH RECOGNITION EQUIPMENT. TELEPHONE SYSTEM CONFERENCES UTILIZING THE PRESENT CONFERENCE SERVER SYSTEM HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF BEING USABLE TO SUPPORT VOICE-ONLY AND/OR DATA-ONLY PARTICIPANTS (PARTICIPANTS RESPECTIVELY LINKED TO ONLY THE VOICE OR DATA DISTRIBUTION PARTS OF A CONFERENCE SESSION), AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE CONFERENCE SERVICE BETWEEN EXACTLY TWO PARTICIPANTS WHICH MAY BE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN COMPARABLE SERVICES THAT THE SAME TWO PARTICIPANTS WOULD OBTAIN USING A DIRECT DIAL-UP TELEPHONE CONNECTION FOR VOICE AND A PUBLIC DATA NETWORK CONNECTION COMPLETELY ISOLATED FROM THE VOICE CONFERENCE MANAGEMENT RESOURCES OF THE PSTN TO EXCHANGE DATA.

Abstract: A method for providing configurable access to media in a media-on-demand system also can include delivering the media to a first client device in a format compatible with the first client device; interrupting the delivery of the media; recording a bookmark specifying a position in the media where the interruption occurred; and suming delivery of the media to a second client device, the resumed delivery beginning at a position in the media specified by the recorded bookmark. The method further can include identifying device properties for each of the first and second client devices; delivering the media to the first client device in a format compatible with the identified device properties for the first client device; and, delivering the media to the second client device in a format compatible with the identified device properties for the second client device.
