Abstract: A communication system includes a front-end audio gateway or bridge and a hands-free device. An automatic speech recognition platform accessible to the hands-free device provides or makes available one or more preprocessing schemes and/or acoustic models to the front-end audio gateway or bridge. The preprocessing schemes or acoustic models can be identified by or provided before a connection is established between the front-end audio gateway and the automatic speech recognition platform, when a connection occurs between the front-end audio gateway and the automatic speech recognition platform, and/or during a speech recognition session.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method for presenting structured data on the electronic device in different operating environments. The method includes selecting, from a plurality of presentation semantics associated with the structured data, a first set of presentation semantics in accordance with an operating environment of the electronic device; processing the structured data in accordance with the first set of presentation semantics; and presenting the structured data processed in accordance with the first set of presentation semantics using the electronic device.

Abstract: A remote entry navigation system streamlines a navigation process by generating routing directions to a destination transmitted by a mobile position identification unit. A remote entry navigation system includes a receiver that receives location data representing a desired location from a remote mobile position identification unit. An in-vehicle memory retains the location data. A vehicle processor generates routing directions to the desired location based on at least two elements included within the location data.
