Abstract: Mechanisms to increase level of detail in sets of model objects in a model for a construction product are disclosed, the mechanism utilizing a collection comprising a plurality of collection sets with details in metadata. For example, to increase level of detail in a set of model objects, content of a first metadata is determined. The first metadata comprises information indicating at least a type and geometry of the set of model objects. The collection sets are sorted to a suitability order based on compatibility of the first metadata to metadata of the collection sets. If the most suitable collection set is approved, the level of detail of the set of model objects is increased by adding to the first metadata copies of one or more details in the metadata of the most suitable collection set.

Abstract: A representation server comprises a parser for transforming a multimedia document into a pre-analyzed document describing elements of the multimedia document, modules for determining the background and form characteristics of the pre-analyzed document, and a central unit for selecting pictorial characteristics as a function of the background and form characteristics of the pre-analyzed document.

Abstract: A voice synthesis system for interactive voice services comprises a voice server connected to a packet network dispensing a voice service to a user terminal by executing a service file associated with the voice service. An HTTP client in the voice server transmits a request containing a text to be synthesized during execution of the service file. The service file includes an address designating a resource in a voice synthesis server connected to the packet network and a command responsive to the audio format for commanding the transmitting of the request to the voice synthesis server. An HTTP server in the voice synthesis server transmits to the voice server an audio response including the text that has been synthesized by the voice synthesis server independently of the voice server.
