Abstract: An audio device for modifying the voice transmitted during a telephone call particularly suitable for a mobile telephone system receives from the user of the audio device an analog speech signal. A converter converts the analog speech signal into a digital speech signal comprising at least one fundamental frequency. A set of coded data represents a musical score comprising a set of notes, each note being defined by a fundamental frequency, a duration, and an instrument that plays the note. A digital music signal is extracted from the set of coded data, and a first portion of the digital speech signal is mixed with a first portion of the digital music signal to produce a combined digital signal.

Abstract: A telecommunication terminal receives an analog speech signal from a user of the terminal and converts the analog speech signal into a digital signal. A vocoder applies source coding to the speech signal and extracts reconstruction parameters from the speech signal. The reconstruction parameters are modified so that the transmitted voice associated with the signal is modified.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of notifying the arrival of an incoming event at a mobile terminal connected by communication means to a terminal-to-be-notified that is separate from the mobile terminal. The method comprises the following operations at the time of arrival at the mobile terminal of an incoming event identified by an incoming event type: comparing the incoming event type with an incoming event type identifier contained in a previously activated incoming event management profile, and sending a notification message to the terminal-to-be-notified whose identifier is contained in the activated management profile if the incoming event type corresponds to an incoming event type of the activated management profile.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of transmitting data over a mobile telephone speech channel between a radio telephone terminal having a type of source encoding and a data transceiver unit via a mobile telephone network supporting at least one mode of communication without transcoding that can be set up between two mobile telephones having at least one type of source encoding in common. In the method, while negotiating the mode of communication between said radio telephone terminal and said data transmitter and/or receiver unit, the transmitter and/or receiver unit sends one of the types of source encoding available to said terminal to the terminal to engage said mode of communication without transcoding. Thereafter, data is transmitted over the mobile telephone network in frames reserved for speech signals encoded using the type of source encoding selected for the mode of communication.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a telecommunication terminal for generating a customized melody from an analog audio signal recorded by the user, more particularly one suitable for mobile telephony. The terminal comprises input means for receiving an analog audio signal, that includes at least one note, means for sampling and converting said analog audio signal into a digital signal and means for extracting from said digital signal at least three parameters representative of said analog audio signal, these being the frequency, the start time and the duration of said note. According to the invention, it includes means for modifying at least one of the three parameters so as to correct the sound imperfections associated with the quality or with the processing of said analog audio signal.

Abstract: To transmit data over a mobile telephone speech channel a source encoder is replaced by a transcoder, a conversion table and/or a concatenation circuit in order to choose from the words produced by the source encoder the ones that are the most robust and which can without difficulty withstand speech synthesis followed by an inverse analysis to reconstitute streams of the bits of the data to be transmitted.

Abstract: A method is disclosed of managing a voice mode conference call between users of terminals which are organized so that they can communicate with each other in packet mode by means of the Internet protocol or an equivalent protocol in the context of a communication system and in particular via an arrangement which enables them to be connected in a conference call and then to receive a signal from each of the terminals participating in the conference call and to broadcast the signal from a temporarily chosen terminal to the other terminals. Regular and transparent detection of voice activity in the compressed signals from the conference call terminals determines the received signal whose energy level is the highest of the energy levels considered at a given time, as defined by voice coding parameters for each signal included in the packets by means of which they are transmitted.

Abstract: In a method of coding speech signals transmitted to a user terminal during a VOIP telephone call set up via a packet transmission network the speech signals are conventionally divided into a succession of segments of the same duration by coders of the terminals before they are coded and transmitted in the form of packets and are reproduced from the packets received, eliminating any packet received twice and using a dissimulation algorithm for segments corresponding to missing packets. The method carries out an analysis during coding to identify any segment that is likely not to be able to be replaced by the dissimulation algorithm if the corresponding packet is missing. Any packet corresponding to a segment analyzed as likely not to be able to be replaced is transmitted twice by the sending terminal.
