摘要： A modular dictation/transcription system is described comprising a modular construction wherein the system is composed of a set of modules which are detachably connectable to each other. Connection or detachment of individual modules from the system configures the system to provide such functions as may be required while deleting such functions which are not necessary. Included within the modules are one or more recording/playback modules a display module and a telephone module. All of the modules interact with each other in accordance with preselectable functions to provide for a more efficient utilization of the dictation/transcription system. Clusters of the modules may be arranged as stations, with the stations connected by a digital communication link.

摘要： A dictation transcription system having a recording/playback module and a display module which are detachably connectable to form an integral structure. The display module provides a visual display of the length, locations and types of messages by storing and utilizing display data. This display data is generated during a dictate operation and, when dictation is "finished", the display data is recorded on the record medium. Subsequently, and preferably, prior to transcription of the dictated messages, the record medium is scanned for the display data which then controls a transcriptionist's display module to reproduce the visual indication originally derived during dictation.

摘要： A dictation/transcription system wherein identifying signals are recorded with audio messages. One of at least two different types of identifying signals, such as single or double bursts of cue tones, together with a block of digital data are recorded. The digital data block is comprised of fields of data for providing additional message identifying information, such as message type, time and date of recording, author identification and the location of the message on the record medium.

摘要： A display for providing visual indications of the lengths of recorded messages, the positions of recorded instructions and the present relative location of a record medium. Three separate arrays are provided for these indications, respectively. Each recorded message may be a letter, note, memo, etc., and is indicated by steady-state energization of segments included in a first (letter) array. "Priority" messages are represented by a distinctive indication, such as by flashing the appropriate segments in that array. Similarly, "normal" and "special" instructions are represented by two different, distinctive indications, such as steady-state and flashing energization of particular segments in a second (instruction) array.

摘要： A method and apparatus for indicating the number of the particular message that has been reached on a bi-directionally movable record medium used with a record/playback device. A position count is incremented and decremented as the record medium moves in forward and reverse directions, respectively; and end-of-message counts representing the locations of the ends of messages relative to an arbitrary reference location of the record medium are stored. Information representing the number of each message whose end-of-message count is stored is provided; and the number of the message which has been reached is determined as a function of which stored end-of-message count is greater than the present position count and which stored end-of-message count is less than that position count. To prevent ambiguities in determining the number of the message which has been reached, as when a new, partially used record medium is loaded into the record/playback device and is reversed to a location which precedes the reference location (i. e. the starting point of the record medium when it is loaded into the device), the position count is preset to a predetermined count when the record medium is replaced. This predetermined count is sufficient to prevent decrementing of the position count below zero, which would be interpreted as being greater than any of the stored end-of-message counts, even if the full amount of the newly-loaded record medium moves in the reverse direction.

摘要： A variable mode numerical display for a record/playback device normally displays a numerical count representing the present position of the record medium used with that device and is operable to interrupt this normal display so as to display the number of a message that was last-recorded or that is in position for playback or to display the number of an instruction that was last-recorded or that has been reached. Also, a bar graph display is comprised of plural visual display elements which are selectively energized as a function of the interval that separates successive pulses that are generated in conjunction with the movement of the record medium. The variable mode and bar graph displays are controlled by a processor.

摘要： A record and/or playback device whose operating mode is controlled by processor apparatus which is responsive to the selected operation of various operating control switches. The processor apparatus includes a sensor for sensing when the device is in an inactive mode, such as a "stop" mode, a timer for determining when the device has remained in this inactive mode for a predetermined time, and means responsive to the timer for disposing the device in a dormant condition in which it does not respond to the operation of the operating control switches. Furthermore, the processor apparatus comprises a microprocessor which includes a counter that is incremented when the record medium of the device is moved, and a memory for storing respective counts corresponding to locations of the record medium at which "cue" signals are recorded. When the record medium is moved, as during fast-forward and rewind operations, the changing count of the counter is compared to the counts stored in the memory and, when this comparison is positive, the movement of the record medium is interrupted. Stored counts are deleted when information is recorded over a cue signal; and additional counts are inserted into the memory when additional cue signals are inserted onto the medium.

摘要： A storage medium in which previously recorded messages are stored is scanned for instruction signals representing the occurrences of instructions in those messages. Following the aforementioned scanning, if a message in condition to be played back includes an instruction, a suitable display is provided. Another display is provided if any further messages, not yet in condition to be played back, include instructions.

摘要： A dictation transcription system having two or more recording/playback modules and a display module, all of which are detachably connectable to form an integral structure. The display module provides a visual display of the length, locations and types of messages recorded on either recording/playback module by storing and utilizing display data derived from either active module. This display data is generated and displayed during a dictate operation. When one recording/playback module is disposed in an inactive mode, its display data is stored and the display data derived from the other module if active, now is displayed.

摘要： A portable digital voice recorder is interfaced for data communication with a personal computer. The personal computer is connected by a data communication network with other devices such as other personal computers, a central dictation system, and/or a voice mail system. Voice data files previously generated by dictating information into the portable recorder are stored in the portable recorder and then uploaded to the personal computer. The voice data files include header data associated with the voice data files. The personal computer reads the header data and automatically forwards the voice data file to one or more of the other devices on the basis of information contained in the header data.
