A system and method for use with an assisted user's communication device that includes a display. The method includes providing a user communication device including a processor that is programmed to perform the step of, upon disconnection of an emergency call to a hearing user in which a captioning service has provided text transcription of voice messages from the hearing user, maintaining a link to the captioning service for a predetermined period of time. The processor also is programmed to perform the step of recognizing the call as an emergency call upon placement of the call, and the captioning service is automatically initiated upon the processor performing that recognition.

A communication system includes a management system connected to plural mobile communication terminals through wireless communication and configured to broadcast utterance voice data received from one of the mobile communication terminals to the other mobile communication terminals, to chronologically accumulate the result of utterance voice recognition from voice recognition processing on the received utterance voice data as a user-to-user communication history, and to control text delivery such that the communication history is displayed on the mobile communication terminals in synchronization. Each mobile communication terminal is configured to store notification setting information including a keyword and a predetermined notification function associated with the keyword and provided for the mobile communication terminal, to reproduce the received utterance voice data, display the result of utterance voice recognition, and perform operation control for the notification function associated with the keyword included in the result of utterance voice recognition.

A method includes connecting a call from a client device to a destination having an interactive voice response service; transcribing audio from the destination during the call to identify menu options of the interactive voice response service; generating visualizations representing the menu options; and outputting the visualizations to a display associated with the client device. A system includes a telephony system, an automatic speech recognition processing tool, and a visualization output generation tool. The telephony system connects a call from a client device to a destination having an interactive voice response service. The automatic speech recognition processing tool transcribes audio from the destination during the call to identify menu options of the interactive voice response service. The visualization output generation tool generates visualizations representing the menu options. The telephony system outputs the visualizations to a display associated with the client device.

In some embodiments, the present invention provides for a computer system which includes at least the following components: a plurality of computing devices associated with a plurality of users associated with a plurality of users; where each computing device of the plurality of computing devices is configured to: electronically receive software which, when being executed, cause such computing device to display a plurality of instances of a specifically programmed graphical user interface (GUI); where each instance of the GUI is configured to display a real-time updatable meeting information representative of a direct electronic proximity-based communication between at least two computing devices associated with at least two users who desire to meet at a particular location to engage in a transaction of at least one good, at least one service, or both, whose marketable value lasts for a period of 30 seconds to 60 minutes.

An assisted user's (AU's) captioning device for assisting an AU during a call with a hearing user (HU) wherein the hearing user uses a HU's communication device, the captioning device comprising a display screen and a processor linked to the display screen, the processor programmed to perform the steps of upon receiving a call, automatically determining if the call is from one of a first set of HUs, upon determining that the call is from one of the first set of HUs, automatically initiating captioning and presenting captions of an HU voice signal during at least a portion of the call, and upon determining that the call is not from one of the first set of HUs, starting the call without captioning and providing an option to the AU to initiate captioning during the call.

In some embodiments, the present invention provides for a computer system which includes at least the following components: a plurality of computing devices associated with a plurality of users associated with a plurality of users; where each computing device of the plurality of computing devices is configured to: electronically receive software which, when being executed, cause such computing device to display a plurality of instances of a specifically programmed graphical user interface (GUI); where each instance of the GUI is configured to display a real-time updatable meeting information representative of a direct electronic proximity-based communication between at least two computing devices associated with at least two users who desire to meet at a particular location to engage in a transaction of at least one good, at least one service, or both, whose marketable value lasts for a period of 30 seconds to 60 minutes.

A watch type terminal including a main body mountable on part of a user; at least one biometric sensor installed in the main body; and a controller configured to control the biometric sensor to detect a biometric signal of the user, determine target biometric data for the user to be collected based on the detected biometric signal, control the biometric sensor to detect additional biometric signals of the user to collect the target biometric data, and output the target biometric data to the user.

This application discloses a method, an apparatus, and a portable electronic device. The method includes: detecting an incoming phone call; automatically answering the phone call; determining that in at least one pre-stored event, there is an event matching a telephone number of the phone call, where the event includes: at least one of content of the event, a starting time of the event, or a location of the event, contact information of a participant, and permission of the participant; and the contact information of participant includes a telephone number; obtaining and parsing audio content of the phone call; and automatically answering the telephone call according to the audio content and permission that corresponds to the telephone number of the phone call. The method provided in this application has an advantage of effective privacy protection.

A new type of communication channel, method, system, device, apparatus, platform, application & service is disclosed for enabling caller or calling party or inviter user(s) to send real-time invitation(s) or chat call to one or more callee or called party or invitee user(s) to real-time chat with calling party or inviter user(s) and within same session wait for acceptance of invitation(s) or chat call from said called party or invitee user(s) by said calling party or inviter user(s); enabling invitation(s) receiving or callee or called user(s) or invitee user(s) to accept chat call or invitation(s) or decline or not accept chat call or invitation(s) in real-time or within particular specific period of time or within same session or ignore chat call or invitation(s) within specified period of time or within same session; and in the event of acceptance of chat call or invitation(s) by callee or called party or invitee user(s), present chat call interface to caller or calling party or inviter user(s) and callee or called party or invitee user(s), wherein enabling callee or called party or invitation(s) accepted user(s) in real-time or within same session to access presented chat interface and participate in chat session with said calling party or invitation sender user(s) or inviter user(s) in real-time or within same session.

The disclosure includes embodiments for generating a synched video. A method includes determining a duration and a number of discrete frames of an original video. The method includes determining a type of replacement video that includes a live source or a recorded source. The method includes tracking a location of an original head in the original video to determine positioning data for the original head in each of the discrete frames. The method includes synching the replacement video to the original video based on a position, a size and a rotation between the original head in the original video and a replacement head in the replacement video, wherein the synching generates a synched video which synchs the replacement head to the original head based on the position, the size and the rotation.
