Abstract: Electronic key for a motor vehicle having a containment casing, which houses: at least one processing and/or control unit, at least one memory unit where at least one recognition data is stored to control at least one function and/or system of a motor vehicle, at least one transmitter and/or transceiver unit to communicate with at least one control unit which is mounted in/on said motor vehicle and which is configured to command, following the receipt of the recognition data, at least one functionality and/or system of the vehicle, at least one receiver/transceiver which is connected to the processing and/or control unit and is configured to receive at least one command signal directly from the outside.

Abstract: An approach for enhancing speech reproduction based on recognizing text segments from sound segments of an audio signal. Enhanced text segments are generated from any text segments whose quality indicators do not reach a threshold level, and enhanced speech segments are synthetized from the enhanced text segments. An enhanced sound is reproduced comprising enhanced sound segments based on the enhanced speech segments.

Abstract: A solution is proposed for monitoring quality of a conference call. Corresponding methods are implemented on a client computing machine of a participant to the conference call, a server computing machine for managing the conference call and a computing system comprising the server computing machine and a plurality of client computing machines, respectively. One or more test signals (having corresponding test frequencies within a human audible range) are generated by each client computing machine in the mute mode without audible effects on the participant. The test signals are transmitted from the client computing machine to the server computing machine. The server computing machine verifies the quality of the conference call for the participant according to a comparison of one or more received signals (received from the client computing machine) with the test signals. Computer programs and computer program products for performing the corresponding methods are also proposed.
