Abstract: A method for detecting pauses in speech signals is disclosed in which the frequency spectrum is divided into two or more sub-bands. Samples of the signals on the sub-bands are stored at intervals, the energy levels of the sub-bands are determined on the basis of the stored samples, a power threshold value (thr) is determined, and the energy levels of the sub-bands are compared with said power threshold value (thr) . A subband minimum is set and a detection time limit is set so that, in a noise situation, a speech pause can be verified by checking to determine if each pause detected remains for the duration of the detection time limit and if a pause is detected in at least said minimum subbands.

Abstract: A mobile communication apparatus including a user interface UI, a processor, and one or more sensors is disclosed. The one or more sensors are arranged to provide one or more signals, and the processor is arranged to present a warning depending on the one or more signals through the UI. Further, a warning method for a mobile communication apparatus is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: measuring one or more physical quantities; processing the one or more physical quantities to generate one or more warnings; and presenting the one or more warnings through a user interface UI of the mobile communication apparatus.

Abstract: A method for providing user interface data controlling a multimedial layout of a user interface for a mobile telecommunications terminal is disclosed. The method comprises generating at least one user interface data set in a first mobile telecommunications terminal, receiving data relating to at least a portion of the user interface data set, from the first mobile telecommunications terminal, in a server coupled to the first mobile telecommunications terminal, receiving a first request, in the server, for the user interface data set, from a second mobile telecommunications terminal coupled to the server, and transferring the user interface data set to the second mobile telecommunications terminal as a result of the first request.

Abstract: A speech recognition feature extractor includes a time-to-frequency domain transformer for generating spectral values in the frequency domain from a speech signal; a partitioning means for generating a first set and an additional set of spectral values in the frequency domain; a first feature generator for generating a first group of speech features using the first set of spectral values; a additional feature generator for generating an additional group of speech features using the additional set of spectral values; the feature generators arranged to operate in parallel, an assembler for assembling an output set of speech features from at least one speech feature from the first group of speech features and at least one speech feature from the additional group of speech features, and an anti-aliasing and sampling rate reduction block, where the first and the additional set of spectral values comprise at least one common spectral value.
