International Classification:

H04M 342

US Classification:

37920201, 37920101, 37920701

Abstract:

A system and method for encoding the speech of multiple speakers for transmission on a limited medium such as ISDN or ADSL. The system and method encode one or more âdominantâ speakers on a first channel, and merges all other speakers into a second channel. A âdominantâ speaker may be defined according to the needs of the application, but intuitively it is a speaker in a collaboration session who has the âfloorâ. The method and system transmit speech through a teleconferencing system having an available bandwidth. Speech from a speaking one, or ones, of the plurality of participants is passed while speech from non-speaking participants is rejected. The system responds to the speech from the one, or ones of the speaking participants passed by the speech detector, and determines which of the detected speaking one, or ones, thereof is a dominant speaker. The system allocates one portion of the available bandwidth to the determined dominant speaker and merges the non-dominant participant(s) onto a second bandwidth portion of the available bandwidth.

US Classification:

701208, 701212, 707100

Abstract:

A method for transforming a map based on associated geospatial data. A map is segmented into logical segments representing map-based entities. The geospatial data is then associated with the logical segments. The logical segments are scaled based upon the associated data. The logical segments are then repositioned to avoid overlapping other logical segments and a new map display based on the scaled and repositioned logical segments is provided.

International Classification:

G08G 1/123

US Classification:

3409951, 34235704, 701207, 34099512

Abstract:

A handheld virtual overlay system (HVOS) device is presented that includes a global positioning system (GPS) receiver for detecting a global position of the HVOS device; a compass/tilt sensor for detecting a direction and tilt of the HVOS device; a communication module for transmitting the global position, the direction, and the tilt to a data store; and an input/output display configured to receive and display a rendered image. The data store is configured to receive the global position, the direction, and the tilt, and to generate geo-coded data for transmission to a server, where the server is configured to receive the geo-coded data and to transform and render the geo-coded data into a rendered image. A user can point the HVOS device at a scene, with the HVOS device producing a rendered image representing the scene.

International Classification:

G10L 21/06

US Classification:

704275

Abstract:

Described is a navigation system. The navigation system comprises a route planning module and a route guidance module. The route planning module is configured to receive a request from a user for guidance to a particular destination. Based on a starting point, the route planning module determines a route from the starting point to the particular destination. The route guidance module is configured to receive the route, and based on the route and current location of the user, provide location-specific instructions to the user. The location-specific instructions include reference to specific visible objects within the vicinity of the user.
