The management entity is configured to check, responsive to the connection request, whether the first time falls within the predetermined time interval, and if the first time does not fall within the predetermined time interval, to transmit information about a communication time to the communication entity at which communication time the communication terminal is ready to communicate.

Abstract: A system and method for allowing user intervention in a speech recognition pipeline is presented. Embodiments may include receiving, at a computing device, a speech signal at a speech recognition engine, the speech signal being associated with an application. Embodiments may further include generating one or more suggested speech results at the speech recognition engine, the suggested speech results based upon, at least in part, the speech signal. Embodiments may also include displaying, at a graphical user interface associated with the computing device, the one or more suggested speech results prior to applying a final speech result. Embodiments may further include receiving a non voice-based selection of at least one of the one or more suggested speech results and applying the non voice-based selection to the application.

Abstract: Data access rights are validated by using data proxies, so that providers of services such as speech recognition are not required to know the identity and access rights of users. The need for keeping user accounts and associated data access rights synchronized between systems such as hospital active directory systems, Electronic Health Record/Electronic Medical Record (EHR/EMR) systems, and speech recognition systems is, therefore, removed. Access rights are determined using proxy data, in order to provide access to confidential data, based on the provision of the proxy data in place of user credentials. Secure access to Protected Health Information (PHI) and other confidential data is guaranteed without having to provide the user credentials, because ownership of the data provided as proxy data is equivalent to presence of access rights to the proxied data.
