International Classification:

H04W 4/00

US Classification:

455466, 455564, 4555501, 4554121, 455566

Abstract:

Various embodiments are directed to improved message addressing techniques. In one embodiment, a computing device may comprise a messaging client arranged to receive an input sequence of alphabetic or alphanumeric characters as a destination of an outbound message. The messaging client may recognize that the input sequence represents a mnemonic short code and may automatically generate a common short code comprising a sequence of numeric digits associated with the mnemonic short code. The messaging client may display both the input sequence comprising the mnemonic short code and the common short code and enable the outbound message to be sent using the common short code as the destination. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract:

A computing device is configured to receive an incoming communication from another computing device. The incoming communication may be for purpose of initiating a voice-exchange session. In response to receiving the incoming call, the computing device may identify or determine a message identifier of the other computing device. The message identifier is determined based at least in part on data provided with the incoming communication. The computing device may programmatically address a message to the other computing device using the message identifier determined from the incoming communication.

International Classification:

H04Q 7/22

US Classification:

4554121, 455566

Abstract:

Techniques involving messaging applications are disclosed. For example, an apparatus may include a communications interface module and a messaging module. The communications interface module may receive an incoming message of a conversation thread that is originated by a remote device. The incoming message includes a text portion and an attached media item. The messaging module automatically outputs the incoming message to a user interface in an output format. This output format includes both the text portion and content of the attached media item. The attached media item may be of various types. Examples of media items include video files, audio files, image files, resource locators, and application files. The embodiments, however are not limited to these examples.

Inventors:

Lang Chen - Fremont CA, US

Zhenyu Liu - Pleasanton CA, US

International Classification:

G10L019/12

US Classification:

704/223000

Abstract:

Voice processing methods and circuits use bandpass filters and energy detectors to determine the energy in frequency channels of a voice signal. A bit array having a horizontal direction corresponding to the channels and a vertical direction corresponding to time provides a representation of the voice signal that can be stored during training and compared to other bit arrays during voice recognition. One comparison method compares horizontal lines of bit arrays using a position-weighted K factor. A segmentation process divides arrays into segments to better identify corresponding lines in arrays. Corresponding lines can also be selected in segments using an alternating top-down/bottom-up best match process. When this comparison finds a matching array, the match is confirmed if match result is significantly better than a match result for a bit array corresponding to different voice command and if vertical checking confirms the match. Thresholds indicating horizontal and vertical matching arrays and the required gap between the match results of different commands can be set according to the desired voice recognition sensitivity.
