摘要:
A voice communication system transfers voice information stored in a protocol data unit under a predetermined communication protocol over a network, and includes end voice terminals for transferring and receiving the voice information, and a management server for managing said end voice terminal. The management server includes a manager for storing subscriber information indicative of whether or not the end voice terminals are provided with the capability of predetermined broadband voice communication. A user is informed, at the latest before the user initiates a call from the end voice terminal, of whether or not a telephone set of a called party is provided with the capability of the broadband voice communication through the end voice terminal based on the subscriber information. running in a network under a predetermined communication. This increases the satisfaction of the user and allows a business model justifying charging customers to be built.

A telephone terminal executes voice communication with a partner telephone terminal by using a selected codec program to code and decode voice signals. Both telephone terminals have facilities for storing codec programs and transferring codec programs over a communication network. During a voice call, one of the two telephone terminals may transfer a codec program to the other telephone terminal, and the call may then proceed by use of the transferred codec program. This enables voice communication to take place with the best codec program that either telephone terminal can provide, even if the two telephone terminals are associated with different communication systems.

A voice mixing apparatus decodes input encoded narrowband voice data and encoded voice data for narrowband region of input encoded wideband voice data, and detects a speaker in accordance with the decoded voice signals of the entire narrowband. When encoded voice data from a speaker is included in the narrowband, a signal in a region outside the narrowband of the expanded data is encoded. When the data is included in the wideband, encoded voice data of the region outside the narrowband is extracted for output. When the destination terminal is compatible with the encoded narrowband voice data, the narrowband voice signal mixed is encoded and output. When the destination terminal is compatible with wideband, the narrowband voice signal mixed is encoded for the narrowband region, and the voice data of the speaker is used as the encoded voice data for the region outside the narrowband.

Speech telephones are incorporated in a LAN, and, for example, when a voice telephone 5 communicates with another voice telephone 8, call control is performed through exchange of information between a PC 1 and a PC 4, juxtaposed with the voice telephones, respectively, via a LAN hub 10, a LAN switching unit 50, and a LAN hub 20. Speech data of the respective telephones 5, and 8 are packetized in the data block of a MAC frame by concentrators 30, and 40 for voice telephones, respectively, and relayed to LAN-SW interfaces 30a, and 40a. Frames having a function of absorbing fluctuation are applied to the data block of the interfaces 30a and 40a. Respective voice data packetized according to the MAC address of the MAC frame are delivered to the voice telephones 5, and 8, respectively, via the LAN switching unit 50, and the concentrators 30, and 40 for voice telephones.
摘要:
A telephone communication system in which a call-originating side and a call-incoming side communicate by telephone via a communication network capable of wideband communication and narrowband communication. When an apparatus exclusively used for narrowband communication, an apparatus capable of wideband communication and narrowband communication, and an apparatus exclusively used for wideband communication exist mixedly in between one end and another end, at least one of phone-call path parts between adjacent ones of the apparatuses is set to be different in transmission capability on a per phone-call path part basis, by sending and receiving information about transmission capabilities of the apparatuses in between the one end and the another end.

A telephone switching system includes line packages and a switch unit allowing a path to be established between the line packages. At least one line package is interconnected to, e.g. a broadband-adaptive unit, and is adaptive to both of a first coding rule expected of the switch unit and a second coding rule higher in compression ratio than the first coding rule. The broadband-adaptive line package, monitoring the coding rule of another line package connected thereto, adapts itself to the first coding rule if the other line package is adaptive only to the first coding rule, or adapts itself to the second coding rule if the other line package is adaptive to both of the first and second coding rules.

摘要:
Voice communications apparatus is connected to a general subscriber telephone set or a broadband telephone set, to communicate over the public switched telephone network. The apparatus includes a filter converting signals such as to satisfy signal conditions prescribed for the telephone network. The apparatus also includes a terminal class determiner for determining the class of the telephone set connected, and a circuit for changing at least the sampling frequency at which the analog signals from the telephone set are sampled. This establishes high quality in broadband voice communications. The terminal class determiner may automatically determine the class of the telephone set at any timing of a call sequence by detecting a band component of the signals from the telephone set, a predetermined frequency of a signal intermittently transmitted from the telephone set or the characteristics of the telephone set.
