  • Patent number: 7957750
    Abstract: A location estimation method is provided. The method locates coordinates of a mobile station (MS) by referencing a plurality of base stations (BS). A geometric distribution of the BS is analyzed to provide a list of conditional equations. A virtual BS is allocated, having a virtual distance to the MS to provide a constraint equation. The MS location is derived from the conditional equations and the constraint equation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7706470
    Abstract: A Global Positioning System (GPS) acquisition method is provided. A GPS signal is first received, comprising a plurality of data bits, each repeating for a bit period. A search space is then formed, comprising a plurality of elements each associated with a presumed offset and a presumed code phase. Before bit-transition of each bit period, element values of the elements are accumulated by substituting the data bits into a coherent-combination algorithm. After bit-transition of each bit period, the element values are accumulated by substituting the data bits into a differential-coherent combination algorithm.

  • Patent number: 7373297
    Abstract: An automated speech recognition filter is disclosed. The automated speech recognition filter device provides a speech signal to an automated speech platform that approximates an original speech signal as spoken into a transceiver by a user. In providing the speech signal, the automated speech recognition filter determines various models representative of a cumulative signal degradation of the original speech signal from various devices along a transmission signal path and a reception signal path between the transceiver and a device housing the filter. The automated speech platform can thereby provide an audio signal corresponding to a context of the original speech signal.

  • Patent number: 7257412
    Abstract: Methods and systems for location estimation. Signals are received from a plurality of satellites and a plurality of base stations by a mobile station. The location of the mobile station is estimated according to TOA (Time-Of-Arrival) and TDOA (Time Difference-Of-Arrival) measurements calculated based on the signals.

  • Patent number: 7003458
    Abstract: An automated voice pattern filtering method implemented in a system having a client side and a server side is disclosed. At the client side, a speech signal is transformed into a first set of spectral parameters which are encoded into a set of spectral shapes that are compared to a second set of spectral parameters corresponding to one or more keywords. From the comparison, the client side determines if the speech signal is acceptable. If so, spectral information indicating a difference in a voice pattern between the speech signal and the keyword(s) is encoded and utilized as a basis to generate a voice pattern filter.
