Speech to message processing
View Patent ↗Voice message processors are configured to produce text representations of voice messages. The text representations can be compacted based on one or more abbreviation libraries or rule libraries. Abbreviation processing can be applied to produce a compact text representation based on display properties of a destination device or to enhance user perception. Text representation length can be reduced based on abbreviations in a standard abbreviation list, a user specific abbreviation list, or a combination of standard and custom lists. In some examples, text length is shortened based on stored rules. Mobile stations are configured to receive text representations of voice messages and request delivery of the associated voice messages based on message identifiers or message availability indicators that are presented on mobile station display. Network elements comprise a voice message processor and are configured to produce text representations and deliver text representation or voice messages based as requested by message recipients.
1. A mobile station, comprising:
a message input configured to receive a compact text representation of a voice message and an identifier associated with the text representation, wherein the voice message belongs to a message class of a plurality of message classes, wherein the compact text representation includes an abbreviation selected from an abbreviation library associated with the message class to which the voice message belongs, and wherein an extent to which the voice message is abbreviated is based on network capacity; and
a display configured to display the compact text representation.
2. The mobile station of claim 1 , further comprising a transceiver configured to transmit a request for delivery of the voice message associated with the compact text representation.
3. The mobile station of claim 1 , further comprising a transceiver configured to transmit a request for delivery of the compact text representation of the voice message.
4. The mobile station of claim 1 , wherein the message input is configured to receive a message identifier associated with an availability of a voice message and the display is configured to display a display icon associated with the availability of the voice message.
5. The mobile station of claim 1 , further comprising a transceiver configured to request delivery of the voice message by transmitting the voice identifier associated with the compact text representation.
6. The mobile station of claim 1 , further comprising a memory configured to store the compact text representation.
7. The mobile station of claim 1 , further comprising an input key configured to transmit a request for delivery of the voice message associated with the compact text representation.
8. A mobile station, comprising:
a message input configured to receive a compact text representation of a voice message and a voice message identifier, wherein the voice message is associated with a message profile; and
a display configured to display the compact text representation and an indicator associated with an availability of the associated voice message, wherein the compact text representation includes an abbreviation selected from an abbreviation library associated with the message profile, and wherein an extent to which the voice message is abbreviated is based on network capacity.
9. The mobile station of claim 8 , further comprising a transmitter configured to transmit a request for delivery of an expanded message text associated with the compact text representation.
10. The mobile station of claim 8 , further comprising a transmitter configured to transmit a request for delivery of a source text associated with the compact text representation.
11. The mobile station of claim 1 , further comprising a transmitter configured to transmit a request for delivery of a source text associated with the compact text representation.
12. The mobile station of claim 1 , further comprising a transmitter configure to transmit a request for delivery of an expanded text association with the compact text representation.
13. The mobile station of claim 8 , further comprising a transceiver configured to transmit a request for delivery of the voice message associated with the compact text representation.
14. The mobile station of claim 8 , wherein the message input is configured to receive a message identifier associated with an availability of a voice message and the display is configured to display a display icon associated with the availability of the voice message.
15. The mobile station of claim 8 , further comprising a transceiver configured to request delivery of the voice message by transmitting the voice identifier associated with the compact text representation.
16. A mobile station, comprising:
a message input configured to receive a compact text representation of a voice message and a voice message identifier, wherein the voice message is associated with a user; and
a display configured to display the compact text representation and an indicator associated with an availability of the associated voice message, wherein the compact text representation includes an abbreviation selected from an abbreviation library associated with the same user as the user associated with the voice message, and wherein an extent to which the voice message is abbreviated is based on network capacity.
17. The mobile station of claim 16 , further comprising a transceiver configured to transmit a request for delivery of the voice message associated with the compact text representation.
18. The mobile station of claim 16 , wherein the message input is configured to receive a message identifier associated with an availability of a voice message and the display is configured to display a display icon associated with the availability of the voice message.
19. The mobile station of claim 16 , further comprising a transceiver configured to request delivery of the voice message by transmitting the voice identifier associated with the compact text representation.
20. The mobile station of claim 16 , further comprising an input key configured to transmit a request for delivery of the voice message associated with the compact text representation.
