    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To wirelessly transmit a large quantity of information while keeping the price corresponding to priority communication and the voice quality corresponding to ordinary radio, by providing a user terminal with an audio unit directory to be used for applying one of speaking voices to an audio signal during reproduction to a system user. SOLUTION: A user terminal 301 receives a synthetic encoded voice (CES) through a wireless communication antenna 311 and a radio transmitter/receiver 312 and deciphers an enciphered CES file through a descripter 310. Next, the user terminal 301 stores the receives CES file in a system memory 313. An extracting engine 314 operationally connected to a control processor 317 and system memory 313 synthesizes voices while using one or plural alternant record dictionaries 315 to be personally selected by a user. In this case, priority selection voices 316 of respective speakers are defined by the alternants recorded in the dictionaries and the user can select one of them.

    Abstract: A singlecast interactive radio system delivers digitized audio-based content to subscribers, on request, economically and with voice quality. The system includes personal radio station servers and user terminals, and exploits existing wireless communication networks. Compressed voice-based content is stored on network servers, such as Internet WWW servers. The personal radio station server stores subscriber interest profiles, assembles material from various Web sites according to the profiles and transmits the material to subscriber terminals, on request, over the wireless digital network. The user terminal restores voice-based material with at least AM-radio voice quality. The user terminal optionally integrates, electrically and mechanically, a conventional radio with a cellular phone. The user terminal also retrieves text from the Internet or other data depositories, plays it back as computer-generated speech, digitizes voice responses from the user, and delivers the response to other e-mail addresses over related networks.

    Abstract: An image display system (10) includes an image buffer (20,22) having a plurality of addressable locations for storing image pixel data. The system further includes circuitry (24,34,36) coupled to an output of the image buffer for converting image pixel data read therefrom to electrical signals for driving an image display (18). The circuitry is responsive to signals generated by an image display controller (16) for generating one of a plurality of different timing formats for the electrical signals for driving an image display having a specified display resolution. The apparatus further includes circuitry (40,42) for configuring the image buffer in accordance with the specified display resolution. The image buffer is configurable, by example, as two, 2048 location by 1024 location by 24-bit buffers and one 2048 location by 1024 location by 16-bit buffer; or as two, 2048 location by 2048 location by 24-bit buffers and one 2048 location by 2048 location by 16-bit buffer. Each of the 24-bit buffers store R,G,B pixel data and the 16-bit buffers each store a color index (CI) value and an associated window identifier (WID) value. Circuitry at the output of the image buffer decodes CI and WID values into R,G,B pixel data and a Key value specifying pixel mixing.

    Abstract: A display system is described which includes storage for receiving a compressed pixel image manifesting at least a pair of encoded colors and a bit MASK that defines which pixels of a pixel subset of the pixel image receive one of the colors. The system comprises a plurality of memory modules (34). The pixels in the subset are interleaved in the memory modules. A generator is provided for applying signals to cause data to be written into each of modules in parallel. Register means are provided for applying data manifesting the encoded colors to the modules. Control apparatus is responsive to the MASK bits for controlling the generator to write the encoded color data, in parallel and in a single memory cycle, into all pixel positions of the subset that are designated for the color(s) by MASK bit position values.
