摘要:
A telecommunications system (600) distributes text-to-speech synthesis (900) between a telephone network (603) and a telephone subscriber unit (602). The telephone network (603) receives (1102) a telephone call from a first telephone subscriber unit (601) over a first communication channel (604) intended for a second telephone subscriber unit (602), determines (1103) that the second telephone subscriber unit (602) subscribes to a speech-based caller identification service provided by the telephone network (603), converts (1107) text information (707), representing the caller identification of the first telephone subscriber unit (601) into symbols (708), encodes (1108) the symbols (708) to form a data stream (709), opens (1109) a second communication channel (605) between the telephone network (603) and the second telephone subscriber unit (602), and sends (1110) the data stream (709) to the second telephone subscriber unit (602) over the second communication channel (605). The second telephone subscriber unit (602) detects (1202) that the telephone network (603) opened the second communication channel (605), receives (1203) the data stream (807) from the telephone network (603), decodes (1206) the data stream (807) to form decoded symbols (808), converts (1207) the decoded symbols (808) to form a speech waveform (809), and generates (1211) speech from the speech waveform (809) to permit a second party associated with the second telephone subscriber unit (602) to listen to the speech to identify an identity of a first party associated with the first telephone subscriber unit (601) prior to accepting the telephone call from the first telephone subscriber unit (601). The symbols (708) may be generated at various points (909, 910) within the distributed text-to-speech synthesizer (900) depending on the requirements and limitations of the telecommunication system (600).

摘要:
A telephone call is established between a local telephone (110) associated with a local party and a remote telephone (104) associated with a remote party. The local telephone (110) receives a voice signal from the remote telephone (104) responsive to establishing the telephone call. The voice signal represents directory assistance information, a name, a phone number or directions provided by the remote party. The local telephone (110) stores the voice signal in a memory unit (212) in the local telephone (110) responsive to receiving the voice signal. The local telephone (110) converts the voice signal to a text signal responsive to storing the voice signal. The local telephone (110) stores the text signal in the memory unit (214) in the local telephone (110) responsive to converting the voice signal to a text signal. The local telephone (110) edits the stored text signal in the memory unit responsive to storing the text signal. The local telephone (110) correlates the remote party's identity with the stored voice and/or text signal responsive to storing the voice and/or text signal. The local telephone (110) uses the stored edited text signal to make a new telephone call or to transfer the stored edited text signal to another electronic device.
摘要:
An agricultural bale accumulator includes a load bed, a bale transfer module, and a bale discharge module. The load bed includes center, right and left load beds, adapted to receive and accumulate thereon first, second and third bales, respectively, from a bale chamber of an agricultural baler along a bale-receiving axis. The bale transfer module alternately transfers the bales across the load bed from the center load bed to the right load bed or the left load bed along a bale transfer axis, transverse to the bale receiving axis, responsive to a bale transfer signal to accumulate the bales on the center, right, and the left load beds in a side-by-side relationship. The bale discharge module moves between a bale accumulating position and a bale discharging position responsive to a bale discharge signal. The bale discharge module moves to the bale accumulating position to accumulate the bales on the load bed. The bale discharge module moves from the bale accumulating position to the bale discharging position to discharge at least the first bale received and accumulated on the center load bed to the ground surface.
