A method, apparatus () and system () for altering the playback speed of recorded content () to match a target syllable rate is provided. A user may enter a desired, target playback syllable rate through a user interface (), such as a keypad or touch screen. Alternatively, the target playback syllable rate may be determined from identification of the source of the recorded content (). An actual playback syllable rate () associated with the recorded content () is then determined. The recorded content () is then altered, by time domain harmonic scaling in one embodiment, such that the altered playback speed () substantially matches the target playback syllable rate. In so doing, a listener is able to receive recorded content () at a faster or slower rate than it is produced. Elements that may compromise the intelligibility of the recorded content (), including distortion (), background noise (), ambient noise () and audible intonations (), may be measured such that the target playback syllable rate may be compensated.

System and method for altering playback speed of recorded content

A method for controlling and managing individual directed sessions between at least two endpoints in a communications system. The method including the steps of: intercepting a first message sent from an initiating endpoint via application layer routing to at least one other endpoint requesting an individual directed session; communicating the requested individual directed session to a service entity for determining the state of the session as a function of communication system resources and capabilities and resources of the endpoints to be included in the requested session, and if the requested individual directed session is accepted determining a set of corresponding session parameters; and communicating the state of the requested individual session to the initiating endpoint via application layer routing, and if the requested session is accepted also communicating the state of the session the at least one other endpoint via application layer routing.

Apparatus and method for controlling and managing individual directed sessions in a communications system

A communication system includes a vehicle ( ) and an infrastructure ( ). The vehicle contains vehicle system information ( ) and user information ( ). The infrastructure includes a processor ( ) with an applications program ( ). The application is arranged to remotely access ( and ) the vehicle system information in a secure manner. The application is also arranged to remotely access ( ) the user information in a secure manner.

Method for remotely accessing vehicle system information and user information in a vehicle

A communication system (,) includes an infrastructure (,) and at least one vehicle (,), the vehicle including at least one vehicle system (,), and at least one user system (,). The infrastructure includes an application (,) which, in turn, is arranged to reprogram the vehicle system, the user system, or both.
