Abstract: A contents delivery system and method through a CDN provider and a replication server thereof are provided. The replication server receives an embedded object of a page from a contents server of a contents provider and stores the embedded object. When the replication server receives a request for the page from a client, the replication server requests the contents server to provide the page, receives the page from the contents server and transmits the page to the client. When the replication server receives a request for the embedded object of the page from the client, the replication server transmits the embedded object stored therein to the client. Accordingly, the contents server of the contents provider can directly administrate pages and the contents provider can be aware of the number of requests for pages.

Abstract: A contents delivery system and method using object redirection, and a GSLB switch thereof are provided. When a client requests a web server to provide a page embedded object, the web server embeds the URL representing the position of the object in an HTTP 302 redirection message and transmits the HTTP 302 redirection message including the URL to the client. A GSLB switch corresponding to the URL transmits the IP address of a specific host server selected from at least one host server storing the object to the client. Accordingly, load of the web server decreases and flexibility in change of a CDN solution is secured.

Abstract: A CP participated contents delivery system and method, and a CDN DNS server of the system are provided. When a client detects an embedded object while parsing a page received from a web server, the client inquires of a local DNS server about the IP address of a server storing the object. The local DNS server receives the inquiry of the client and inquires of a CDN DNS server about the IP address of the server storing the object. The CDN DNS server selects a server located in proximity to the client from a host server of a CDN provider, which stores the object, and the web server. The selected server transmits the object to the client. Accordingly, the client can rapidly receive the object and a contents provider can promote qualitative contents providing service improvement.

Abstract: A contents delivery system and method, a web server and a contents provider DNS server of the contents delivery system are provided. A web server or a DNS server of a contents provider determines whether a client is located in proximity to the web server, dynamically selects a server which will provide a page embedded object and provides the page embedded object from the selected server to the client. Accordingly, users can easily use contents and the contents provider can promote qualitative improvement of service.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing a candidate list of alternatives for a text selection containing text from multiple input sources, each of which can be stochastic (such as a speech recognition unit, handwriting recognition unit, or input method editor) or non-stochastic (such as a keyboard and mouse). A text component of the text selection may be the result of data processed through a series of stochastic input sources, such as speech input that is converted to text by a speech recognition unit before being used as input into an input method editor. To determine alternatives for the text selection, a stochastic input combiner parses the text selection into text components from different input sources. For each stochastic text component, the combiner retrieves a stochastic model containing alternatives for the text component.

Abstract: A method of correcting speech recognition mode errors in a document is disclosed. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for correcting speech recognition mode errors in a document is also disclosed. Further, an apparatus for correcting speech recognition mode errors in a document is disclosed.

Abstract: A background audio recovery system displays an inactive status indicator for a speech recognition program module in an application program. To prevent losses of dictated speech when a speech recognition program module is inadvertently assigned to an inactive mode, the background audio recovery system determines whether an audio input device is receiving audio. If audio is being received by the audio input device, the background audio recovery system stores the audio data for later retrieval by the user. When a user issues a command to activate the speech recognition program module, the background audio recovery system initiates a background audio program module for manipulating the stored audio data that was recorded while the speech recognition program module was assigned to an inactive mode.
