    摘要: A system and method for transparently transmitting aural signals across a wide area network (WAN). The system of present invention is connected to one or more of a private branch exchange, a key telephone system, a telephone, a facsimile machine, and a modem, for example. In the case of voice transmission, a user places a telephone call using the same procedure that is used when placing a telephone call over a conventional public switched network. The aural signals are translated into a format that is compatible with the local area network (LAN) and the translated signals are transmitted to a router or a switch that connects the LAN to the WAN. The data is transmitted across the WAN to a router or switch coupled to a second LAN. The data is then sent to a destination central site unit or PC which translates the signal into a format that is compatible with the telephone system connected thereto. The present invention provides a voice quality that approaches, equals, or exceeds the voice quality of conventional telephone switched networks. This high voice quality is achieved by utilizing a high quality voice digitization algorithm, by ensuring a low maximum network delay, by dynamically compensating for variations in network delay, and by using a forward error correction technique that can recreate lost or delayed signals in a manner that recreates the signal so the lost signal is typically not detectable by a user.

    摘要: A remote learning system combines on-line service information and remote user information with a television signal designed to be received by students using multimedia personal computers. The combined signal is then transmitted to all of the students at their personal computers. At each personal computer, the received signal is separated into its component parts by a VBI modem for display or control on/of the personal computers. Each personal computer is capable of communicating back to a main server over a network such as a public telephone network. A broadcasting facility integrates the information transmitted over the network from a single student with the television signal.

    摘要: Modulated data information having an individual one of different baud rates and aural information are converted at a transmitter from analog to digital form. A controller separately identifies the digitized aural and modulated data information and, if modulated data, identifies the baud rate of such modulated data. The aural information is separately transformed. For modulated data, the information is separately processed in accordance with the different baud rates. The individual ones of aural and modulated data are then introduced to a common line for packetizing. The beginning of each packet is labelled to identify whether the packet contains aural information (such as voice or music) or modulated data (such as modem or facsimile), and, if modulated data, the particular baud rate of such information. An individual code identifies the end of each packet. The packetized information is then multiplexed in a common bus with other packetized aural and data information. At a receiver connected to the common bus, the multiplexed information is separated into the different packets. The packetized information representing individual ones of aural information (such as voice or music) and modulated data (such as music or facsimile information) is separated, in accordance with the packet labels, into aural information and modulated data and, if modulated data, is introduced to an individual one of different modulators each operative at an individual one of the different baud rates. The aural information is then transformed substantially to its original form at the transmitter and the modulated data is separately processed in accordance with the different baud rates.
