Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for parsing itinerary data on a computing device. In architecture, the system includes a data acquisition module that acquires itinerary data and a parsing module that parses the itinerary data into the a computer readable itinerary data. The system further includes a generation module that generates a predefined user form with the computer readable itinerary data. The present invention can also be viewed as a method for parsing itinerary data on a computing device. The method operates by (1) providing itinerary data; (2) parsing the itinerary data into a computer readable itinerary data; and (3) generating a predefined user form with the computer readable itinerary data.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for efficiently transferring files using file differentiation. In architecture, the system includes a client device with a device file, a server device containing an original file and a revision file of the original file, and a delta file that identifies only the changes between the original file and the revision file. The present invention can also be viewed as a method for efficiently transferring files using file differentiation. The method operates by (1) providing an original file; (2) creating a revision file of the original file; and (3) generating a delta file that identifies only the changes between the original file and the revision file.

Abstract: A decision making control circuit responsive to a digital data stream. A control output is provided in response to detection of a predetermined number of successive digital words in the data stream representing numbers having a magnitude greater than a threshold magnitude. Once the control output is provided, a predetermined number of successive words in the data stream must have a magnitude less than the threshold magnitude to terminate the control output.

Abstract: A system for providing input electrical signals, for processing the electrical signals to provide digital information, and for recording the processed electrical signals so that they may be retrieved from the system and the information recorded digitally visually presented by the system. The system is particularly well adapted for use with a multiple station dictation system in which the digital information embodied in the processed electrical signals includes the station from which a particular piece of dictation originated and the identification of the person who dictated it, the recorder upon which the dictation was recorded, information relating to the chronological order in which the dictation has been completed, and the length of the dictation. The system further provides means for recording this information on the tape at the end of each piece of dictation and for storing this information in a central storage.

Abstract: A cassette substitution apparatus for use with a cassette central dictation recording system. Messages are recorded on interchangeable record members such as conventional tape cassettes. Apparatus is provided for detecting a condition of only a predetermined amount of recording time remaining on a cassette. Substitution of a second cassette for the first cassette then takes place a predetermined amount of time after detection of this condition independently of whether the dictator attempts to operate the recorder subsequent to detection of the predetermined amount of remaining tape.

Abstract: A central dictation system for recording dictation or other messages. The messages are recorded on interchangeable record members such as conventional recording tape cassettes, and the present system is operable to substitute a new cassette for a cassette containing one or more recorded messages, either upon receipt of a signal indicating termination of message recording or upon the occurrence of certain other events. A signal is provided when only a predetermined amount of recording time remains on a cassette, notifying the user that substitution of a new cassette will occur after a predetermined amount of time elapses. Another signal is provided during the cassette substitution cycle to prevent message dictation until the new cassette is positioned to receive dictation.

Abstract: A recording system including a recording apparatus, a time delay device wherein analog signals are converted into digital signals and wherein said digital signals are delayed for an interval of time to provide delayed digital signals which are recorded by said recording apparatus or which are converted into delayed analog signals that are then recorded by said recording apparatus, and means responsive to said analog signal or means responsive to said digital signal for causing the recording apparatus to be placed in a recording mode of operation prior to the end of said interval of time.
