System and method for displaying the history of a user's interaction with a voice application
As a user interacts with a voice application, a history of the prompts played to the user and the users responses are displayed to the user. The displayed prompts and displayed responses could be summaries of the prompts and responses, or they could be full transcriptions of the prompts and responses. A user may be able to select a prompt or response in the history to return to a certain point in the voice application. It may be possible for a user to save a history of the interactions that occurred when a voice application was performed, and to recall the history to continue on from a selected location in the history.
SEMIAUTOMATED RELAY METHOD AND APPARATUS
A system includes a first user device configured to perform captioning session operations, a call-assistant (CA) device remote from the first user device, and a remote relay server separate from the CA device. The relay server initiates a captioning process, receives, from the first user device, a request to initiate a captioning session, establishes the session, assigns the session to the CA, receives first audio data from the first user device derived from a second user device, directs the first audio data to the CA device, receives, from the CA device, second audio data related to the first audio data and derived from CA speech, accesses an ASR engine trained to the CA voice, generates captioned text including a transcription of the second audio data, generates screen information including the transcription, directs the screen information to the CA device, and directs the captioned text to the first user device.
Communication device and methods for use by hearing impaired
A method for maintaining contact information in a hearing impaired assisted user's communication device includes the steps of (a) providing a web site for altering assisted user contact information, (b) linking a proxy device to the web site, (c) receiving an identifier associated with the assisted user's device via the proxy device, (d) identifying an assisted user's device via the received identifier, (e) enabling the proxy device to be used to modify contact information for the assisted user associated with the received identifier, (f) starting a timer to time out a sync timeout period, (g) during the sync timeout period, receiving an indication via the assisted user's device confirming a desire to update the assisted user's contact information, (h) updating the assisted user's contact information, and (i) at the end of the timeout period, ceasing an indication that updated data is ready to be used from the assisted user's device.
Adjusting signal settings for a display using a light sensor
In some implementations, a mobile computing device may participate in the calibration of an output signal of a media device. This calibration process includes storing device-specific calibration data which is related to properties of a light sensor of the mobile device. The mobile device then detects of properties of light emitted by the display device during a presentation to obtain sensor values related to light emitted by the display device during the presentation. The calibration process may also ensure that the mobile device is proximate to the display device prior to obtaining the sensor values. The collected sensor values are adjusted using device-specific calibration data stored to the mobile device to normalize the sensor values relative to a baseline. These normalized sensor values are sent to the media device for use in adjusting the output signal based on the normalized sensor values.
System and method for processing telephony sessions
In one embodiment, the method of processing telephony sessions includes: communicating with an application server using an application layer protocol; processing telephony instructions with a call router; and creating call router resources accessible through a call router Application Programming Interface (API). In another embodiment, the system for processing telephony sessions includes: a call router, a URI for an application server, a telephony instruction executed by the call router, and a call router API resource.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS IN COMMUNICATION SESSIONS USING A GRAPHICAL METAPHOR
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for linking participants in a communication session. The method includes presenting a set of connected graphical elements on a graphical user interface (GUI) representing a structure of the communication session and a trusted relationship between a first participant and a second participant in the communication session, establishing a bidirectional link between the first participant and the second participant, wherein the communication device exchanges trusted information between the first participant and the second participant, and displaying a depiction of the bidirectional link to at least one participant in the communication session. The method optionally includes negotiating a calendar event with the second participant via the bidirectional link based on the trusted information. Graphical elements associated with the first and second participants can depict one or more of presence, context, and persona information.

SYSTEMS, METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR CONTROLLING THE AUDIO LEVELS OF MULTIPLE SIMULTANEOUS COMMUNICATION CHANNELS
Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for aggregating active speaker channels, receiving, through an input interface, a selection of a solo speaker channel representing one of the plurality of speaker channels and setting the audio level of any one of the solo speaker channel and at least one non-solo speaker channel, or a combination of both the solo speaker channel and the at least one non-solo speaker channel.
Interface scanning for disabled users
Systems and processes for scanning a user interface are disclosed. One process can include scanning multiple elements within a user interface by highlighting the elements. The process can further include receiving a selection while one of the elements is highlighted and performing an action on the element that was highlighted when the selection was received. The action can include scanning the contents of the selected element or performing an action associated with the selected element. The process can be used to navigate an array of application icons, a menu of options, a standard desktop or laptop operating system interface, or the like. The process can also be used to perform gestures on a touch-sensitive device or mouse and track pad gestures (e.g., flick, tap, or freehand gestures).
Method, apparatus and storage medium for calibrating capacitive touch module
A method for calibrating a capacitive touch module includes: acquiring, for any of touch regions, touch parameters of the touch nodes in the touch region; determining whether the touch region is an abnormal touch region based on the touch parameters; and correcting the touch parameters of the touch nodes in the abnormal touch region based on the touch parameters, if the touch region is the abnormal touch region, so as to enable the touch parameters of the touch nodes in the abnormal touch region to be within a preset normal range. After the abnormal touch region of the touch module is determined, the touch parameters of the touch nodes in the abnormal touch region are corrected based on the acquired touch parameters so as to be within the preset normal range, thereby reducing the probability of abnormality of the touch module.
