  • Publication number: 20110010743
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for recording and reestablishing a multimedia content including the following steps: transmission of a multimedia content to a mobile terminal (107) is interrupted at a given time, a terminal (107, 108, 109) transmits to a server (110) a request for reestablishment of the content, the server (110) transmits in return to the terminal (107, 108, 109) the multimedia content based on the time of interruption of the transmission of the content.

  • Patent number: 7519397
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for downloading multimedia content via a mobile telephony network (10) to a terminal (50; 60, 70), comprising a voice recognition device (40), a database (30) connected to the network (10) and containing multimedia files. The terminal (50; 60, 70) transmits a voice request to the voice recognition device (40) and the voice recognition device (40) interprets the request that it receives. After the request has been received and interpreted by the voice recognition device (40), one or more interpretation prompt(s) designating one or more file(s) contained in the database (30) are sent to the terminal (50; 60, 70). The terminal is able to return a prompt selected, thereby bringing about the downloading of a file corresponding to the prompt selected from the database (30) to the terminal (50; 60, 70) via the mobile telephony network (10).

  • Patent number: 6826533
    Abstract: To control an arbitrary system by speech recognition, it is proposed that speech recognition be implemented in the form of a predefined sequence of states, such that, upon recognition of an appropriate voice command, the system changes from one state to another state, and this change takes place in dependence on at least one speech recognition parameter. The speech recognition parameters can influence, for example, the so-called “false acceptance rate” (FAR) and/or the “false rejection rate” (FRR), which thus are set to state-specific values for the individual states, in order to achieve improved recognition accuracy.

  • Publication number: 20040192396
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of accessing a service via a mobile telephone network in which instructions are input by means of a mobile telephone and the instructions are transmitted over a data channel of the mobile telephone network to a server, voice recognition means being suitable for interpreting the instructions, and the server being suitable for performing a task as a function of such interpretation, wherein a parameter relating to the quality of transmission over the data channel of the network is measured, and wherein:
