  • Patent number: 8155970
    Abstract: A system for access to multimedia structures has telephone sets capable of connecting to a telephone network, a storage device capable of storing a plurality of multimedia structures representing messages and/or data and/or commands, and a network access server that can be associated with the telephone sets and is capable of selectively instantiating the multimedia structures via an interconnection network. There is also a voice-recognition and speech-synthesis system that can be associated with the network access server and that comprises modules for reading files in XML format and for processing the files so as to obtain files in a format that can be synthesized by a speech synthesizer.

  • Publication number: 20040076274
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (10) in which a telephone set (16) is capable of using access devices or apparatuses (12) and a network such as the Internet (80) to access multimedia structures consisting for example of automatic answering messages or of messages that can be interpreted by a speech synthesis device, said structures being stored in a storage device (15). The invention also relates to the method for implementing the system (10) and to the generation equipment (14) capable of producing the multimedia structures to be instantiated by means of the telephone set (16) and the access device (12). In particular, the system (10) and method make it possible to implement universal automatic answering machines, i.e., answering machines that are capable of managing a plurality of answer message structures stored in a single device (15) and accessible by means of access devices (12) distributed on the network (80) or in the telephone sets (16).
