Abstract: Systems and methods for processing acoustic speech signals which utilize the wavelet transform (and alternatively, the Fourier transform) as a fundamental tool. The method essentially involves “synchrosqueezing” spectral component data obtained by performing a wavelet transform (or Fourier transform) on digitized speech signals. In one aspect, spectral components of the synchrosqueezed plane are dynamically tracked via a K-means clustering algorithm. The amplitude, frequency and bandwidth of each of the components are, thus, extracted. The cepstrum generated from this information is referred to as “K-mean Wastrum.” In another aspect, the result of the K-mean clustering process is further processed to limit the set of primary components to formants. The resulting features are referred to as “formant-based wastrum.” Formants are interpolated in unvoiced regions and the contribution of unvoiced turbulent part of the spectrum are added. This method requires adequate formant tracking. The resulting robust formant extraction has a number of applications in speech processing and analysis including vocal tract normalization.

Abstract: Systems and methods for multi-modal messaging that enable a user to compose, send and retrieve messages, such as SMS, MMS, IM or ordinary e-mail messages, for example, using one or more I/O (input/output) modalities (e.g., speech I/O and/or GUI I/O). A method for composing messages combines the advantages of a multi-modal interface (e.g., grammar-based speech and touchscreen or similar input devices) and message templates, which allows a user to construct a message with significantly less effort in a fraction of the time required by conventional methods. The user can dictate his/her messages using speech and/or GUI input, for example, based on a library of message templates which can be personalized by the user to fit his/her social interaction needs.

Abstract: In a method for correlating charges in a service layer and a network layer, first charging data is determined for a service layer based on content or a service purchased for a user. Second charging data for a network layer is determined based on transmission for the content or service. The first and second charging data, with any respective metadata, are correlated in order to generate a single bill for the user. This bill may be for the transmission as well as the purchase of the content or service. In the correlation, charges for the network layer and/or the service layer may be changed based on the correlation. For example, duplicative charges such as charging for the content and the traffic used to download the content may be correlated and one of the charges may be changed or removed.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for forwarding a media streaming session from one node to another node while the session is in progress. A streaming server may store data sent between nodes in the session. When one node is forwarded to a new node, the stored data may be used to transition to the new node with little or no interruption in data sent between nodes in the session. A user interface may allow a user to set preferences and control other aspects of the session forwarding features.
