    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for adjusting an operation characteristic of a personal communication device. SOLUTION: This method for adjusting the operation characteristic of an audio station can include a series of steps. The method can include a step for receiving words uttered by a user from a generation source of a sound and a voice, and a step for detecting the position of the generation source of the sound and the voice relatively from the audio station. The method can also include a step for generating proximity degree data corresponding to the detected position, and a step for processing the received words uttered by the user by a selected signal processing technique based on the proximity degree data. The words uttered by the user can be discriminated from a background noise by the signal processing technique.

    Abstract translation: 要解决的问题:提供一种用于调整个人通信设备的操作特性的方法和系统。 解决方案:用于调整音频站的操作特性的方法可以包括一系列步骤。 该方法可以包括用于从声音和声音的生成源接收用户发出的单词的步骤,以及用于相对地从音频站检测声音和语音的生成源的位置的步骤。 该方法还可以包括用于生成对应于检测到的位置的接近度数据的步骤,以及用于基于接近度数据通过所选择的信号处理技术处理由用户发出的接收到的字的步骤。 通过信号处理技术,可以将用户发出的话语与背景噪声区分开来。

    Abstract: This invention relates to the adaptation of personal computers to communication through external networks, and more particularly to the ready adaptation of such computers to networks of varying characteristics, such as telecommunications networks located in various countries of the world. The adapter has first and second controllable digital/analog convertors for exchanging signals with a digital signal processor of the computer and controllable by a bus interface controller of the computer for converting signals between digital and analog forms. The adapter also has first and second connectors of the type required by the particular external network, coupled to the convertors for exchanging signals with the external network and for exchanging signals with an external device such as a telephone set.

    Abstract: DISKETTE DRIVE TYPE DETERMINATION Diskette drive determination in which a read/ write head in a diskette drive is instructed to move to a track that is inaccessible on one type of diskette drive. The head is then stepped back toward a track associated with a sensor indicating the positioning of the head over the track. The number of steps required to activate the sensor determines which type of diskette is being used.
