Abstract

A comprehensive system and method for telematics including the following features individually or in sub-combinations: vehicle user interfaces, telecommunications, speech recognition, digital commerce and vehicle parking, digital signal processing, wireless transmission of digitized voice input, navigational assistance for motorists, data communication to vehicles, mobile client-server communication, extending coverage and bandwidth of wireless communication services, and noise reduction.

Claims (57)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving a voice signal from a source over a network;

determining a destination associated with the received signal;

determining a signal processing algorithm from a plurality of signal processing algorithms based on the determined address;

processing the voice signal according to the determined algorithm; and

sending the processed signal to the associated address.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the processing algorithm comprises finding in memory a signal processing algorithm that is associated with the determined destination address.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining the originator of the voice signal, if the determined destination is a human recipient; and

if the determined originator is a computer-based system, alerting the recipient that the voice signal is from a computer-based system.

4 . A method comprising:

selecting address for a voice transmission;

receiving at a user input unit phonation inputted for the voice transmission;

if the selected address is associated with a speech recognition device, processing the received phonation according to an algorithm associated with the speech recognition device and sending the processed phonation to the selected destination; and

if the selected address is not associated with a speech recognition device, sending the received phonation to the selected destination according to a delivery method associated with human recipients.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

switching the destination from a destination associated with a human recipient to a destination associated with a speech recognition device;

sending a switch signal to the user input unit based on the switched destination; and

sending the received phonation to the selected destination according to a delivery method associated with human recipients.

6 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

switching the destination from a destination associated with a speech recognition device to a destination associated with a human recipient;

sending a switch signal to the user input unit based on the switched destination; and

processing the received phonation according to an algorithm associated with the speech recognition device and sending the processed phonation to the selected destination; and

7 . A method comprising:

sending a signal from a source to a destination according to an address associated with a to be generated phonation; and

if the destination is a speech recognition server, sending a change signal from the destination to the source, generating a phonation for reception by a speech recognition server, and sending the newly processed phonation, otherwise generating a phonation at the source for reception by a human recipient.

8 . A computer-based device comprising:

a receiving component configured to receive a voice signal from a source over a network;

a processing component configured to determine a destination address associated with the received signal, determine a signal processing algorithm from a plurality of signal processing algorithms based on the determined address, and process the voice signal according to the determined algorithm; and

a delivery component configured to send the processed signal to the associated address.

9 . The device of claim 8 , further comprising memory configured to store addresses with an associated signal processing algorithm, wherein the processing component finds in memory a signal processing algorithm that is associated with the determined destination address.

10 . The device of claim 8 , further comprising an alert component configured to alert the recipient that the voice signal is from a computer-based system, if the source is a computer-based system.

11 . A computer-based device comprising:

a first component configured to select an address for a voice transmission;

a second component configured to receive a phonation inputted for the voice transmission;

a third component configured to process the received phonation accord to an algorithm associated with a speech recognition device, if the selected address is associated with a speech recognition device and send the processed phonation to the selected destination; and

a fourth component configured to send the received phonation to the selected destination according to a delivery method associated with human recipients, if the selected address is not associated with a speech recognition device.

12 . A computer-based device comprising:

a first component configured to process a phonation at a source for reception by a human recipient;

a second component configured to send the processed phonation to a destination accord to an address associated with the phonation;

a third component configured to receive a change signal from the destination; and

a fourth component configured to process a next phonation for reception by a speech recognition server according to a received change signal, and send the newly processed phonation to the destination.

13 . An apparatus comprising:

means for receiving a voice signal from a source over a network;

means for determining a destination associated with the received signal;

means for determining a signal processing algorithm from a plurality of signal processing algorithms based on the determined address;

means for processing the voice signal according to the determined algorithm; and

means for sending the processed signal to the associated address.

14 . An apparatus comprising:

means for selecting an address for a voice transmission;

means for receiving phonation inputted for the voice transmission;

if the selected address is associated with a speech recognition device, means for processing the received phonation according to an algorithm associated with the speech recognition device and means for sending the processed phonation to the selected destination; and

if the selected address is not associated with a speech recognition device, means for sending the received phonation to the selected destination according to a delivery method associated with human recipients.

15 . An apparatus comprising:

means for processing a phonation at a source for reception by a human recipient;

means for sending the processed phonation to a destination according to an address associated with the phonation; and

if the destination is a speech recognition server, means for sending a change signal from the destination to the source, means for processing a next phonation for reception by a speech recognition server, and means for sending the newly processed phonation.
