Publication number: 20240029755Abstract: Processes, methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for intelligently detecting speech or in audio signals and smoothly transitioning to mode that enables a user to better understand the speech. For example, aspects of the present disclosure provide method for processing and producing audio signals. During playback of an audio signal, the method analyzes content of the audio signal prior to the playback of the content to determine whether one or more predefined conditions are met to indicate that the content includes speech. In response to determining the one or more predefined conditions are met, the method automatically applies to the audio signal a first playback equalization configured to enhance the speech within the content. In response to determining the one or more predefined conditions are not met, the method comprises applying to the audio signal no playback equalization or a second playback equalization different from the first playback equalization.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Elio Dante QUERZE, III, Shuo ZHANG, Isaac Keir JULIEN, Yang LIU, Miriam ISRAELOWITZ, Stoyan I.

Publication number: 20190066036Abstract: A method or system for distributed asset location monitoring may include determining a current device location of a mobile electronic device, sending the current device location to an asset-tracking device, receiving a previous asset location from the asset-tracking device, and storing the current device location and the previous asset location in an asset-tracking record. In some examples, the asset-tracking device includes a Bluetooth radio tag, and the loss or the acquisition of the Bluetooth signal generates the event signal to capture the time stamp and geographic location of the asset and map that data in the cloud. In some examples, the asset-tracking device includes an environmental data logger, and the Bluetooth tag may store environmental data including temperature, humidity, barometric elevation, or acceleration.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2018Publication date: February 28, 2019Inventors: Roger Roisen, Michael McHugh, Craig S.

Patent number: 9665602Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for migrating interdependent data objects from a first device to a second device. In use, at least one first data object to be migrated from a first device to a second device associated with a target code is received. Further, it is determined that the second device associated with the target code requires at least one second data object to be present at least one of before the at least one first data object or at a same time as the at least one first data object. Additionally, the at least one first data object to be migrated from the first device to the second device associated with the target code is stored in a cache. Furthermore, an interdependency event associated with the at least one first data object and the at least one second data object is detected. In response to detecting the interdependency event, the at least one second data object to be migrated from the first device to the second device associated with the target code is received.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2014Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignees: Amdocs Software Systems Limited, Amdocs Development LimitedInventors: Christopher James George, Ulf Mathias Landby, Stephen Palmer, Paul Michael McHugh
