摘要:
A method and apparatus for performing active speaker selection in teleconferencing applications illustratively comprises a microphone array module, a speaker recognition system, a user interface, and a speech signal selection module. The microphone array module separates the speech signal from each active speaker from those of other active speakers, providing a plurality of individual speaker's speech signals. The speaker recognition system identifies each currently active speaker using conventional speaker recognition/identification techniques. These identities are then transmitted to a remote teleconferencing location for display to remote participants via a user interface. The remote participants may then select one of the identified speakers, and the speech signal selection module then selects for transmission the speech signal associated with the selected identified speaker, thereby enabling the participants at the remote location to listen to the selected speaker and neglect the speech from other active speakers.

A telestration system comprises a telestration server configured to communicate with an arbitrary number of telestration clients over a network. The telestration server is further configured to receive telestration input signals from respective ones of the clients and to send telestration output signals to the respective clients, with the telestration output signal sent to a given one of the clients comprising telestration information derived from the telestration input signal received from at least one other one of the clients. Each of the clients with the support of the telestration server can generate a combined telestration overlay for presentation with associated visual content shared between the clients.

An example apparatus, such as a position server, is caused to receive proximity information from a number of mobile apparatuses located remote from the apparatus, and receive observed current locations from at least some but not all of the mobile apparatuses. The apparatus is also caused to determine a proximity relation between certain ones of the number of mobile apparatuses, where the proximity is reflected by the proximity information received from the mobile apparatuses. And the apparatus is caused to calculate an estimate of a current location of at least one of the one or more remaining mobile apparatuses as a function of the proximity relation between certain ones of the number of mobile apparatuses, and as a function of the observed current locations of the one or more mobile apparatuses.

An external capability for measuring roundtrip latency in a conferencing system is provided. The external capability for measuring roundtrip latency in a communication system may include functions of generating a content event, detecting the content event in a received content stream including the content event, determine a first time associated with generation of the content event and a second time associated with detection of the content event, and computing a roundtrip latency based on a difference between the second time and the first time. The content event may be a visual event or an aural event. These functions may be implemented using one or more modules or elements. A computing device may be used to generate and detect the content event and to compute the roundtrip latency. Various other arrangements of modules or elements may be used to provide the functions.

A method and system is designed and implemented to allow users to share their online activities with family members, friends, colleagues, neighbors, merchants, advertisement sponsors, and other people, while still concentrating on their own tasks on the internet. The system also provides online forums, profile-based advertisement auction, group-based mobile e-commerce, and other facilities, so members in a group can communicate and interact among themselves. The automatic sharing of user activities is realized by software extensions or plug-ins that are embedded in a web browser. The users can submit their activities to multiple groups, selected by a click on the icons of groups. The automatic sharing aspect of the proposed system has been implemented, and the proposed functions have been successfully tested. The mechanisms that are proposed and described in detail include profile-based advertisement auction on individual users, group-based mobile e-commerce, and community-based innovation incubator.

摘要:
The present invention provides an acoustic attenuation based on sound ray deflection theory and a muffler. The method of the present invention provides a temperature gradient between the interior and the exterior of the chamber of the muffler through the low temperature refrigeration system, in which the temperature inside the pipe wall is higher than that outside the pipe wall. The said temperature gradient may deflect the acoustic ray towards the low temperature direction, so as to capture and reduce the noise. The muffler of the present invention comprises a muffler housing laid with a sound absorbing structure (4) on its internal surface, is characterized by the low temperature refrigerating system (2) which is fixed in the position corresponding to the sound absorbing structure (4) on the external surface of the muffler housing (1), covers at least 5% of the area of the external surface of muffler housing (1), and is used to realize quantitative control of the temperature gradient together with a temperature control system (3). The muffler of the present invention effectively improves the noise-absorbing effect of the prior muffler.
