A network method for using interactive voice response (IVR) for telecommunication. Voice menu options for a menu level with a voice menu hierarchy are played to a caller. Each menu option can be a voice segment that is audibly played to the caller. The IVR system receives control input in which a second plurality of menu options are received. The menu options in the second plurality are selected from any of the previously presented individual menu options. The selected menu options can be temporarily saved in a memory location in the IVR system. The IVR system can retrieve the selected menu options from the memory location. The second plurality of menu options for the menu level is played to the caller to give the caller control over which part or parts of the menu options are to be repeated.

An image forming apparatus adapted for a smooth mounting / dismounting of a process unit and for the reduction of wasteful power consumption is provided. Unless a new image signal is applied after completion of an image forming operation, the apparatus starts a clocking operation by an internal timer (Step S101). If the apparatus is left standstill for a predetermined length of time (Step S102), a sleep process (Step S103) is executed to shift the apparatus to a power save mode to consume less power. When an outside cover is opened (Step S105), on the other hand, the apparatus is shifted to a replacement operation mode (Step S106) in which only the rotation of a development rotary is permitted. However, if the apparatus is left with the outside cover opened (Step S108), the sleep process is executed.

The spine can be move between a generally horizontal and a generally vertical position. In another embodiment, the spine is detachable from the overhead surface and releasably attached to a floor stand.

Systems and methods of simulating an explosion in time-marching finite element analysis are disclosed in the present invention. A method is configured for increasing user (e.g., engineer or scientist) productivity by reducing computation time of simulating fluid-structure interaction due to an explosion. The method comprises a creation of a finite element analysis model that includes structure, surrounding fluid, a blast source of the explosion and a single layer of ambient elements each having a segment representing a boundary of the fluid facing the blast source. Each ambient element is associated with a particular finite element representing the fluid at the boundary. The ambient elements are configured to be situated between the blast source and the structure such that the simulation can be carried on a set of boundary conditions specified thereon. The boundary conditions comprise a set of nodal velocities that are determined from the empirical formula (e.g., Friedlander equation).

One or more embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for improving a user experience related to interacting with content using multiple client devices and / or mediums. For example, a persistent activity system can receive activity data for a user from a client device. The persistent activity system can generate state information based on the received activity data. Further, the persistent activity system can provide the state information to another client device and / or medium to enable the user to seamlessly resume the user's activity on the other client device and / or medium.

A service server can: associate identification tags which identify users, with other-user identification tags, and store said identification tags; and associate the identification tags with identification data uniquely identifying users in service servers, and an encryption key for identification data and store said identification tags. A control server device stores a table for storing encryption data, encrypted identifiers of service servers used by users. The gateway server device receives an other-user identification tag associated with an identification tag and stored in a service server. If the other-user identification tag is associated and stored, the encryption key, the encryption data, which is associated with identification data related to the other-user identification tag and stored in the control server device, is decoded, the service server that can be used by users of the other-user identification tags is obtained; and is determined whether the first identification tag should be associated with the other-user identification tag.

The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent vehicles, and provides a language practice method and device, an intelligent vehicle-mounted terminal and a storage medium. The method comprises the following steps that: receiving a language practice request sent from a user; on the basis of the language practice request, obtaining first vehicle speed; when the first vehicle speed is smaller than or equal to a preset threshold value, sending a preset practice condition to a background service side, and determining a second intelligent vehicle-mounted terminal which carries out the language practice with a first vehicle-mounted terminal through the background service side; obtaining first practice voice, and sending the first practice voice to the target second intelligent vehicle-mounted terminal to enable the target second intelligent vehicle-mounted terminal to feed back second practice voice; and outputting the second practice voice. By use of the method, a practicer withan equivalent language level is automatically found to carry out language practice so as to bring convenience to a user to utilize odd minutes to carry out the language practice with the practicer with the equivalent language level on the on and off duty way and on a business trip by driving, especially during long-time traffic jam.

Methods, apparatus and systems are disclosed for managing digitally-streamed audio communication sessions between user devices (7a, 7b, 7c). The user devices are configured to send digitally-streamed data (21) indicative of received audio contributions from respective participants in a multiple-participant audio communication session to a multiple-participant audio communication session controller (30) for processing and onward streaming of data (22) indicative of the received audio contributions from the session controller (30) to one or more other user devices (7a, 7b, 7c) for conversion to audio representations for respective other participants of the received audio contributions. The data (21, 22) is streamed between the session controller and the respective user devices in accordance with one or more digital streaming profiles having one or more adjustable digital streaming parameters.

The invention provides a point-to-point transmission detection method and a point-to-point transmission detection system of network equipment, and a mobile terminal. The point-to-point transmission detection method comprises the steps of: simulating a network camera by means of an application program on the mobile terminal, so as to shoot video data; transmitting the video data to a local area network by means of the mobile terminal via the network equipment; judging whether the network equipment forwards the video data to the local area network; and determining that the network equipment has a point-to-point transmission function if the network equipment forwards the video data to the local area network. The point-to-point transmission detection method of the network equipment is capable of determining whether network equipment (a router) in the home has a point-to-point transmission function rapidly, thus equipment on the internet can know whether the video data transmitted by the terminal in the local area network can be viewed successfully, and the use experience of the user is enhanced.
