Abstract:
An Image Transceiving Telephone with Integrated Digital Camera (ITTDC) for simultaneous transceiving of real-time audio and non-real time image through a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is disclosed. The ITTDC includes an integrated telephone front end, a PSTN access device, an audio CODEC, an image input device, an image CODEC, an image display device, a local storage for an embedded system control software and associated control and operating parameters and data, an optional local electronic interface, a user-control and a system control including the embedded system control software. The control software further includes an audio sampling and processing means, an image capturing and processing means and a process priority control means allocating, via a real-time audio but non-real time image transfer protocol control, a highest priority to tasks for audio information processing whereas a lower priority to tasks for image information processing.
Abstract:
An improved digital parametric equalizer realized by software stored in a computer readable memory. The computer readable memory stores a first and a second set of instructions. The first set of instructions determines a value of a tuning coefficient based upon whether a parametric equalizer is to cut or to boost an input signal. The second set of instructions implements a filter to realize the parametric equalizer. The second set of instructions uses the value of the tuning coefficient and the input signal to produce an output signal having substantially symmetrical cut and boost spectrums.
