  • Patent number: 6694513
    Abstract: A method of integrating an application in a computerized system for representing a real world object, and a system employing the method. The real world object may be any object, device, process or item of equipment, including equipment in industrial or commercial installation or process, in any location. The real world object is represented as an object, called a Composite Object, in a part of a computer program. The invention also includes Aspects which represent the data and/or operations of a Composite Object. The Composite Object is a container holding at least one Aspect representing data for the real world object. The Composite Object includes at least one interface for use by another object which interface is implemented by the Aspect System and accessed through an object Request Broker, that complies, for example, with COM. The principal advantage of the method and system is that applications within the system do not require prior information about other objects or applications included in the system.

  • Publication number: 20040030798
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for providing media content to a user over a digital network, which media content is provided by a media content server, organized and selected by an intermediate node in accordance to previously stored user preferences, and delivered to a client operated by the user. The method is characterized by the steps of defining a personalized media package structure, communicating a first package having said personalized media package structure to the client, receiving status information from the client, said status information describing a user action, adapting said personalized media package structure in response to said user action, and communicating a second package having said adapted personalized media package structure to the client. According to the invention, the user can experience a highly personalized media playback, with a minium of costs related to network transmission.

  • Publication number: 20020046208
    Abstract: A method in an object oriented computer system is disclosed. In an object oriented computer system objects are enabled to have relationships with each other. In the method a query is received for a path of related objects, the query including information regarding an object and relationships associated with the object. The different relationships associated with objects in the system are analysed to select objects based on said information included in the query. Based on said analysis, a path of related objects is selected, one of the objects in the path being the object indicated by the query.

  • Patent number: 6055497
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for improving speech quality for signals divided into a frame structure. Speech information in a signal is detected, and a lost or corrupted transmitted frame is detected. The lost or corrupted frame is replaced by a suitable frame if a number of frames represented e.g., by a counter value, exceeds a predetermined value. The counter value may be changed, depending on whether the system is in a comfort noise generation state or in a muting period. The frame may be replaced by a frame representing mainly background noise, generated at the transmitting end during speech pauses or at the receiving end, or such a frame and a correctly received frame. The predetermined value may be the length of a muting period or may be the number of lost or corrupted frames preceding a speech frame. A first of the correctly received speech frames that follows a number of lost or corrupted frames may also be replaced. The output frames gradually approach pure speech frames.

  • Patent number: 5859880
    Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for a multi-branch receiver. A receive signal is received at various receiver branches of the multi-branch receiver. Subsequent to selected processing stages of processing of the receive signal, determinations are made of the signal quality of the signal in the receiver branches. When determinations are made that the signal quality of the signal of a particular receiver branch is of poor quality, further processing of the signal in the branch is squelched.
