摘要: Using gaze detection to determine image information collected from a scene. In order to determine the gaze of persons within a scene, images of the faces of those persons are obtained, and the gaze or line of sight of those persons is determined. Image information encompassing an area of the scene at which the gazes of persons at the scene are directed is then obtained. The obtained video information may be displayed in realtime, or recorded for later viewing.

摘要: Systems and methods for noise cancellation are provided. In particular, information regarding events associated with a computer providing a telephony function or associated with a hardware telephone providing a telephony function is provided to a noise cancellation process. The provided information can be used to identify specific noises associated with events, so that filters specifically adapted for removing an identified noise can be applied. Alternatively or in addition, information regarding the existence and timing of an event can be provided in order to facilitate the application of a noise cancellation filter. Noise cancellation as described can also be applied in connection with recording speech or other audio signals.

摘要: A system and method are provided for detecting acoustic echo in a telecommunications transmission. Detected acoustic echo is analyzed to determine if the acoustic echo includes characteristics indicative of use of a speakerphone by a remote party. Specific characteristics analyzed include the presence of multiple bulk delay values, echo magnitude, and the length of time for echo delays present within the telecommunications system. If the detected acoustic echo falls outside the range of acceptable parameters, or otherwise exceeds threshold limits, a warning signal is transmitted to the user indicating a high likelihood that the remote party is using a speakerphone. Warning the user of speakerphone use by the remote party can be helpful in ensuring that the communications between the parties is maintained in confidence.

摘要: A determination regarding the appropriateness of sending a message can be based on one or more factors. For example, the determination can be an analysis of a message to determine the likelihood that the sender has the target physical condition and/or a likely degree or severity of the target physical condition. The analysis determines, with reference to a baseline of the user, one or more of a number of errors (spelling and/or grammar) in the message, a response time, a non-fluency level associated with the message, a spell check of the message and recipient information associated with the message. Based on this analysis, the message can be managed in accordance with one or more of sending the message after a delay, returning the message to a sender for approval, managing the message based on a profile and holding the message for management at a later time.
摘要翻译: 关于发送消息的适当性的确定可以基于一个或多个因素。 例如,确定可以是消息的分析,以确定发送者具有目标物理条件和/或目标物理状况的可能程度或严重性的可能性。 该分析参照用户的基准确定消息中的多个错误(拼写和/或语法)中的一个或多个,响应时间,与消息相关联的非流畅度,拼写检查 与消息相关联的消息和收件人信息。 基于该分析,可以根据延迟之后的一个或多个发送消息来管理消息,将消息返回给发送方以供批准,基于简档管理该消息,并且稍后保留用于管理的消息 。
