Abstract: A method and system for forming a virtual network. The method comprises the steps of providing each of a plurality of mobile objects (102, 105) with a transceiver (104), and transmitting a cellular/radio signals from a source (101). At least a first (105) of the mobile objects is located in an area (100) where the transceiver (104) of the first mobile object (105) does not receive the signal directly from the source (101), while a second (102) of the mobile objects is in a position where the transceiver (104) of the second mobile object (102) receives the signal directly from the source (101). The transceiver (104) of the second mobile object (102) is used to receive the signal directly from the source (101) and to transmit the signal to the transceiver (104) of the first mobile object (105).

Abstract: A conversational browsing system (10) comprising a conversational browser (11) having a command and control interface (12) for converting speech commands or multi-modal input from I/O resources (27) into navigation request. The system (10) comprises conversational engines (23) for decoding input commands for interpretation by the command and control interface and decoding meta-information provided by the CML processor for generating synthesized audio output. The system includes a communication stack (19) for transmitting the navigation request to a content server and receiving a CML file from the content server based on the navigation request. A conversational transcoder (13) transforms presentation material from one modality to a conversational modality. The transcoder (13) includes a functional transcoder (13a) to transform a page of GUI to a page of CUI (conversational user interface) and a logical transcoder (13b) to transform business logic of an application, transaction or site into an acceptable dialog.

Abstract: A speech coding apparatus and method uses classification rules to code an utterance while consuming fewer computing resources. The value of at least one feature of an utterance is measured during each of a series of successive time intervals to produce a series of feature vector signals representing the feature values. Classification rules map each feature vector signal from a set of all possible feature vector signals to exactly one of at least two different classes of prototype vector signals. Each class contains a plurality of prototype vector signals. According to the classification rules, a first feature vector signal is mapped to a first class of prototype vector signals. The closeness of the feature value of the first feature vector signal is compared to the parameter values of only the prototype vector signals in the first class of prototype vector signals to obtain prototype match scores for the first feature vector signal and each prototype vector signal in the first class. At least the identification value of at least the prototype vector signal having the best prototype match score is output as a coded utterance representation signal of the first feature vector signal.

Abstract: The present invention is a portable client PDA with a touch screen or other equivalent user interface and having a microphone and local central processing unit (CPU) for processing voice commands and for processing biometric data to provide user verification. The PDA also includes a memory for storing financial and personal information of the user and I/O capability for reading and writing information to various cards such as smartcards, magnetic cards, optical cards or EAROM cards. The PDA includes a Universal Card, which is common generic smartcard with a unique imprint provided by a service provider, on which selected financial or personal information stored in the PDA can be downloaded to perform certain consumer transactions. The PDA includes a modem, a serial port and/or a parallel port so as to provide direct communication capability with peripheral devices (such as POS and ATM terminals) and is capable of transmitting or receiving information through wireless communications such as radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) communication. The present invention is preferably operated in two modes, i.e., a client/server mode and a local mode. The client/server mode is periodically performed to download a temporary digital certificate (which is necessary to access selected information stored in the PDA and to write such information to the Universal Card) from a central server of the service provider of the PDA and Universal Card. Next, the local mode of operation is performed by providing the PDA with biometric data and selecting one of the pre-enrolled credit cards that are stored in the PDA. Upon biometric verification, the Universal Card is written with the selected card information, which is then used to initiate a consumer transaction. In the absence of an unexpired digital certificate, however, the selected card information will not be written to the Universal Card, notwithstanding that the user may have passed local biometric verification.
