System and method of dictation for a speech recognition command system
InactiveUS20110301943A1Reduce ambiguityEasy to readSpeech recognitionSpecial data processing applicationsAmbiguityCommand system
In embodiments of the present invention, a system and computer-implemented method for enabling dictation may include parsing standard reports in order to identify a plurality of logical phrases in the report used for discrete sections and descriptions. In the report method, the phrases may be parsed and identifier words throughout the report may be compared to eliminate ambiguities. The method may then involve constructing text macros that follow the parsed text, thereby enabling the user to speak the identifiers to indicate full, formatted text. Finally, the report method may involve constructing a mnemonic document so both beginner and experienced users can easily read the identifiers out loud to produce a report. The result of the method is an intuitive, notes-style way to use speech commands to quickly produce a standard, formatted report.

Method and apparatus for providing contextual information with telephone calls
InactiveUS20060153357A1Facilitate seamlessLower requirementSpecial service for subscribersManual exchangesSession Initiation ProtocolVoice communication
The present invention is directed to a method for propagating contextual data in an audio communication by storing the contextual data obtained from a calling party in an extensible mark-up language formatted text document. A telephone call between a first party and a second party is converted to a session initiation protocol based voice over internet protocol communication, and the stored text document is attached to session initiation protocol messages that control the voice over internet protocol communication. The document is attached to the signaling messages by embedding the text document in a session description payload associated with the session initiation protocol message. The attached document is propagated with the audio communication, including when the signaling messages are used to transfer the audio communication from the second party to a third party or to add one or more addition parties to the audio communication.

System, plug-in, and method for improving text composition by modifying character prominence according to assigned character information measures
ActiveUS8306356B1Preserving format of text inputImprove economyCharacter recognitionNatural language processingText entry
A computer implemented system, plug-in application and method for composing a formatted text input to improve legibility, readability and / or print economy while preserving the format of the text input and satisfying any user selected aesthetic constraints. This is accomplished by reading in blocks of text input having defined characters including letters and punctuation in a given input format. A language unit such as a lexical or sub-lexical unit, a subset of punctuation or another defined unit for a particular language is examined and an information measure (IM) is assigned to each character in the language unit indicating the predictability of that character to differentiate the language unit from other language units. Typically, multiple different IMs are assigned to each character and combined to form a combined IM (CIM). The process is repeated for at least a plurality of language units and typically until all the text input in the block has been analyzed and information measures assigned to all of the characters. An adjustment to a physical feature is determined for each character in the plurality of units to modify the visual prominence of that character according to the values of the assigned information measures and a permitted range of physical variation for the block. The adjustments are applied to each character to compose the text input consistent with the input format.

Method and apparatus for organizing data by overlaying a searchable database with a directory tree structure
Method and apparatus for organizing data by overlaying a searchable database with a directory tree structure. The method includes generating the directory tree structure that includes nodes comprising a designated category for each node and branches comprising links between the nodes, and generating one or more pointers. Each pointer corresponds to a specific node and the pointer links the specific node to an item of data within the searchable database. All pointers associated with the specific node link related items of data corresponding to the designated category. Each node within the directory tree structure can include a corresponding html address. Items of data can be web-based multimedia including audio, video, images, and appropriately formatted text, displayed in an encyclopedia-like format. Nodes, branches, and pointers within the directory tree structure can continually be added, edited, or deleted.

Method and apparatus for resolving perspective distortion in a document image and for calculating line sums in images
InactiveUS6873732B2Computationally efficientImage enhancementImage analysisPattern recognitionPeak value
Perspective distortion is estimated in a digital document image by detecting perspective pencils in two directions, one being parallel to text lines, and the other being parallel to the boundaries of formatted text columns. The pencils are detected by analyzing directional statistical characteristics of the image. To detect a pencil, a first statistical line transform is applied to transform the image into line space, and a second statistical score transform is applied to transform the image into pencil space. A dominant peak in pencil space identifies the perspective pencil. In addition, a computationally efficient line summing technique is used for effecting sums of pixels along inclined target lines (or curves) through an image. The technique includes pre-generating partial sums, and summing along step segments of a target line using the partial sums.

Template-based art creation and information management system for advertising
InactiveUS20080117448A1Reduce turnaround timeHigh resolutionNatural language data processingSpecific program execution arrangementsGraphicsImage resolution
A template-based art creation system is used for the real-time creation of advertising art images, resulting in an automatically created, high resolution, pre-press ready art file for use in directly creating printing plates for commercial printing presses. The system includes a server module and client module. At the client module, a user creates and / or modifies a simulated advertising template, which includes a low-resolution background image for a particular type of advertisement (e.g., based on business type) and rendering data specifying where text and graphic elements are placed with respect to the background image. The user customizes the template by adding, positioning, and formatting text and graphic elements over the background image. Subsequently, information relating to the customized template is transmitted to the server module, which produces the pre-press ready art file. The file is a high-resolution equivalent of the low-resolution customized template as prepared by the user via the client module.

A computer implemented method, computer program product and data processing system, for identifying common structures shared across a plurality of formatted text documents. The common structure is presented as a sequence of landmarks, each of which has a starting and ending marker to describe the borders of text. The common structure is identified by counting the occurrences of repeating text segments across documents. Frequently co-occurred adjacent segments become candidates for markers of landmarks. In addition, styling information of textual content within a landmark is extracted and mapped to rules. The rules are used to merge and summarize content from multiple documents, which gives an advantage over current practice of content concatenation.
