Abstract: An improved solution for telephonic voice authentication and display is provided. A method of identifying conference call participants includes detecting a sound made by one of conference call participants; identifying this conference call participant based on the sound; and then displaying an attribute of the conference call participant to one of the other conference call participants. The attribute may include a picture, a name, and/or other information related to the identified conference call participant.

Abstract: The invention provides a method, system, and program product for authenticating a user to a telephonic communication device. In one embodiment, the invention includes obtaining a reference sample of an authorized user's voice, storing the reference sample of the authorized user's voice, collecting a sample of the voice of a user of the telephonic communication device, comparing the sample of the voice of the user to the reference sample of the authorized user's voice, determining whether the user is the authorized user, and in the case that the user is determined not to be the authorized user, prohibiting use of the telephonic communication device.

Abstract: An improved solution for Web services is provided. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for providing a virtual Web service includes: providing a Web service gatekeeper, where the gatekeeper acts as an access point to multiple private internal enterprise environments; and then the gatekeeper receives a request for access to one, or more, of these private internal enterprise environments.

Abstract: An improved solution for prioritizing conference call participants is provided. In an embodiment of the invention, a method includes detecting a sound of a first conference call participant; disabling a distribution of a sound of a second conference call participant upon the detecting; and enabling the distribution of the sound of the second conference call participant after an expiration of a time period. In an embodiment, a higher priority may be assigned to a specific participant, such as the host, an administrator, or manager.

Abstract: A system and method for implementing a wireless sensor network. The system comprises a plurality of motes, each mote having a sensor and a wireless communication system for communicating with neighboring motes; a distributed routing table distributed amongst each of the plurality of motes; and an update system for periodically updating the distributed routing table.

Abstract: A resilient classifier for using with a rule-based system is provided. A system for classifying data for a rule-based system, may include: a system(s) for generating two training data sets, one data set is generated from input data while the second data set is generated from disturbed data; a system for merging the two training data sets; and a system for training a data classifier with the merged training data sets. As a result, the classification of data becomes more accurate, including when disturbed data is encountered.

Abstract: A telephonic authentication system, method and program product. An authentication system is provided for authenticating a user of a telephonic device that includes a setup system for capturing and storing an authentic user speech pattern sample; a comparison system that compares the authentic user speech pattern sample with an inputted speech pattern sample and generates a comparison result; and a control system for controlling access to the telephonic device. The control system analyzes the comparison result for an initial inputted speech pattern sample received when a telephone call is initiated and periodically analyzes comparison results for ongoing inputted speech pattern samples received during the telephone call.
