Patent number: 8270580Abstract: An interactive voice advertisement exchange presents an interactive voice advertisement to a user of a voice network who is placed on hold. After the user sends a signal response from a user device to a receiving system and is placed on hold, the hold time and a parameter associated with the signal response are received from the receiving system. Using the hold time and the parameter, an interactive voice advertisement is selected from one or more interactive voice advertisements sent by advertisers. The selected interactive voice advertisement includes a voice message and an application that dictates how the user can interact with the voice message. The voice message and the application of the selected voice interactive voice advertisement are sent to the receiving system. The receiving system sends the voice message to the user device and executes the application during a portion of the hold time.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2008Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Arungunram C.

Patent number: 8103011Abstract: Signal detectors are described herein. By way of example, a system for detecting signals can include a microphone signal detector, a loudspeaker signal detector, a signal discriminator and a decision component. When the microphone signal detector detects the presence of a microphone signal, the loudspeaker signal detector detects the presence of a loudspeaker signal and the signal discriminator determines that near-end speech dominates loudspeaker echo, the decision component can confirm the presence of doubletalk. When the microphone signal detector detects the presence of a microphone signal and the signal discriminator determines that near-end speech dominates loudspeaker echo, the decision component confirms the presence of near-end signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2007Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Asif Iqbal Mohammad, Jack W.

Publication number: 20110013781Abstract: A regression-based residual echo suppression (RES) system and process for suppressing the portion of the microphone signal corresponding to a playback of a speaker audio signal that was not suppressed by an acoustic echo canceller (AEC). In general, a prescribed regression technique is used between a prescribed spectral attribute of multiple past and present, fixed-length, periods (e.g., frames) of the speaker signal and the same spectral attribute of a current period (e.g., frame) of the echo residual in the output of the AEC. This automatically takes into consideration the correlation between the time periods of the speaker signal. The parameters of the regression can be easily tracked using adaptive methods. Multiple applications of RES can be used to produce better results and this system and process can be applied to stereo-RES as well.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2010Publication date: January 20, 2011Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Amit Chhetri, Arungunram C.

Patent number: 7711737Abstract: A keyphrase extraction system and method are provided. The system and method can be employed to create an automatic summary of a subset of document(s). The system can automatically extract a list of keyword(s) that can operate on multiple documents, and across many different domains. The system is unsupervised and requires no prior learning. A term identifier identifies candidate terms (e.g., words and/or phrases) in the document subset which are used to form a document-term matrix. A probability computation component calculates probability values of: (1) the joint probability of a word (e.g., term) and a document, (2) the marginal probability of the word (e.g., term), and (3) the marginal probability of the document. Based on the probability values, a partial mutual information metric can be calculated for each candidate term. Based on the partial mutual information metric, one or more of the terms can be identified as summary keyphrases.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2005Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Arungunram C.
