    摘要: A method and apparatus is disclosed that allows people to carry on unobtrusive phone conversations in business or other settings where it is either not possible or impolite to talk. In the system of FIG. 1, the telephone user one will listen in the same manner as with a regular telephone. However, he will not speak into the telephone microphone. User one instead employs a unit including a keyboard to enter the text corresponding to what he wants to say. The text is converted into a synthesized speech using TTS apparatus and a voice output is sent to the microphone of the phone apparatus. The telephone apparatus transmits the synthesized voice signal over a standard telephone line to a unit including a conventional telephone speaker 26 and telephone microphone. User two, the party using the telephone at the other end, listens to a synthesized voice, but user one listens to the actual voice of user two with the telephone speaker, unless user two is also using a system similar to that of user one. Handwritten text may also be used in the system by employing a computer with a character recognition program as an input. In such a case handwriting is converted into synthesized sound and inputted into the telephone microphone. The telephone system can be used by the hearing impaired without involving a third party human transcriber.

    摘要: A portable intelligent shopping device which can be worn as a wristwatch or carried on a belt. It makes paying for purchases more secure. The device stores the wearer's private key and digital certificate. It can also store the public keys of various stores. When the wearer (shopper) buys something from a store, the store can request a payment of the appropriate amount from the wearer's watch. The authorization for payment of the amount specified by the request for payment may be transmitted using IR or RF. The watch can then display the amount and request the shopper to confirm the transaction by entering a PIN number by tapping on the touch screen or using the roller wheel. Once the correct PIN is entered, the watch can send a message to the store authorizing payment of the requested amount. The store can verify the message based on the shopper's encrypted certificate by decrypting it using the shopper's public key. The entire payment authorization signal can be encrypted by the shopper using the store's public key so that only the store can decrypt it with its private key.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a session initiation protocol (SIP) infrastructure containing various user devices and the use of this infrastructure to conduct media exchange sessions among the various user devices. Included in the user devices are wearable devices, for example pendants and wrist watches, that provide readily available and accessible devices for use in controlling the media exchange sessions. SIP permits the separation of the control aspects of a session from the actual media exchange aspects to facilitate the use of wearable devices having limited processing resources as control devices. The actual media exchange is directed to user devices suitable for sending, receiving and displaying the exchanged media.
