A method (10) and system (200) for user interface enhancement using speaker directionality can include a speaker phone having a microphone array (35, 36, and 37) on a communication device (32) at a first location and a processor (202) coupled to the microphone array. The processor can be programmed to associate (12) a speaker direction with a given speaker using the microphone array and identify (14) the given speaker and provide an indication of the given speaker at a communication device (42) at a second location in communication with the communication device at the first location. The processor can be further programmed to map (18) or assign sectors to a number of speakers using the microphone array in the first location based on speaker directionality of each of the number of speakers.

A method (700) and system (100) for remotely controlling a remote controlled vehicle (150) can include a wireless transceiver (154), at least one impact sensor (158, 160, 162, 164, 166 or 168) on the remote-controlled vehicle, and a processor (156) or processor (106) in a remote controller (102) operatively coupled to at least one impact sensor and the wireless transceiver. The processor can be programmed to sense (702) impacts to at least a portion of the remote-controlled vehicle, modify (704) operation of the remote-controlled vehicle in response to the at least one impact sensed, and transmit (706) information to a remote controller with respect to the at least one impact sensed. The system can further include another wireless transceiver (104) in the remote controller for controlling the remote-controlled vehicle and receiving communication from or originating from the remote-controlled vehicle or another remote-controlled vehicle in competition with the remote-controlled vehicle.
摘要:
A mobile device (160) and method (300) for generating wind instrument sounds is provided. The mobile device can include a microphone (102) for capturing an air turbulence in response to a blowing action, a keypad (104) for selecting a virtual valve to associate with the air turbulence, a synthesis engine (106) for synthesizing a musical note in response to the blowing and the virtual valve, and an audio speaker (108) for playing the musical note. One or more keys of the keypad can be depressed during the blowing action on the microphone for synthesizing a musical note of a wind instrument. A display (110) can present a musical notation (800) and a fingering chart (810) for musical notes.

A system (160) and method (400) is provided for podcast quoting. The method can include quoting (410) a segment from a media source to produce a quoted segment (399), creating (420) a specification (500) for the quoted segment, and inserting (430) the quoted segment into a podcast (306) in accordance with the specification. A source (302) of the quoted segment, a start time (311), an end time (322), and an insertion point (333) can be included in the specification.
摘要:
The present solution includes a method for reporting a status indicator using a mobile device during a disaster. In the method, a status indicator can be entered into a mobile communication device. The status indicator can he communicated to a disaster response system. The disaster response system can also automatically determine a location of the mobile communication device. The disaster response system can make the status indicator and the location available to concerned parties. The location and status indicators can be continuously updated for a duration of a disaster allowing the concerned parties to receive current information about subscribers. In one embodiment, a set of previously established actions associated with user developed disaster response plan can be initiated by the disaster response system.
摘要:
A method and system for PTT management includes a PTT server (100) and a plurality of PTT devices (110) associated with the members of a PTT group (120) via a wireless network (130). The PTT server can include, or be coupled to, a mass storage device storing a database of member information (106) and a schedule (105). The stored schedule can use a scheduling application or module used to define the order of activities by each member of the PTT group to participate, to assign a time for an activity of each member, or to enter other information associated with the PTT group event. The member information can include contact information, task sign-on/sign-off information, current network status information, current availability information, alternative availability information, and request information. The plurality of devices is used to maintain contact and coordinate activities among the members of the PTT group.
