Abstract: An image display apparatus comprises a main display and an auxiliary display. The main display is used to produce a volumetric image such as graphical image, and the auxiliary display is used to generate two dimensional image such as text image. The auxiliary display is located adjacent the the main display and being able to move relative to the main display along a path extending in a direction substantially circumferential to the main display.

Abstract: A method and system for enrolling speed dial names includes providing speaker dependent templates and associated telephone numbers and providing a penalized garbage model for unrecognized speech. When a request for a new template is received it is determined if the list of speed dial names is full (Step 201) and is not it is determined if that name is too similar (Step 205) to a name already on the speed dial list. If so, that name is rejected but if not it is determined if the speed dial name is too short (Step 302), and if not; too short or if the user wants to enter the short name the system asks the user to repeat the speed dial name and if a match it is entered. If not a match the system will swap the first and second utterance and compare to see if a match.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system for a voice prompt talkover capability. The system and method include a speech recognizer (36), an echo canceler (24), a delay finder (27) and a utterance extraction mechanism (30). The delay finder (27) determines the propagation delay between outgoing signal and the incoming signal and stores the signal in a delay buffer (23) in accordance with the delay and the filter length of the echo canceler. The echo canceler (24), using the incoming signals, the delay buffer and the delay enhance the incoming signal by removing the echo. The utterance extractor (30) determines the start of an utterance based on energy in the vectors of the LPC buffer (28). Upon the detection of an utterance the utterance extractor (30) initiates the start of recognition and terminates operation of the echo canceler (24) and the prompt play out (14). A recognition result is returned from the speech recognition processor (36) to the application (12).
