A system and method for homonym treatment in a speech recognition system and method are provided. The system and method for homonym treatment in a speech recognition system may be used in a mobile wireless communication devices that are voice operated after their initial activation. The system may use a voice command interpreter to identify a correct interpretation for a received word that has one or more homonyms based on the received word and the one or more pieces of grammar for the word includes the inserted information about the one or more homonyms.

System and method for treating homonyms in a speech recognition system

A wireless communication system has a central computer, one or more wireless access points and one or more personal badges that communicate wirelessly with the one or more wireless access points. The badges provide the user with a communications device that permits the user to initiate telephone calls and conferences, receive telephone calls, receive pages and be located within a particular environment.

Voice-controlled wireless communications system and method

An enhanced speech recognition system and method are provided that may be used with a voice recognition wireless communication system. The enhanced speech recognition system and method take advantage of group to group calling statistics to improve the recognition of names by the speech recognition system.

Speech recognition system and method using group call statistics

A communication system has a control computer, one or more concentrators and one or more access device each having a badge application that communicates wirelessly with the one or more concentrators. The access device with the badge application provides the user with a communications device that permits the user to initiate telephone calls and conferences, receive telephone calls, receive pages and be located within a particular environment.

Voice-controlled communications system and method using a badge application

A speech recognition system and method are provided to correctly distinguish among multiple interpretations of an utterance. This system is particularly useful when the set of possible interpretations is large, changes dynamically, and/or contains items that are not phonetically distinctive. The speech recognition system extends the capabilities of mobile wireless communication devices that are voice operated after their initial activation.

System and method for improving recognition accuracy in speech recognition applications

A communication system has a control computer, one or more concentrators and one or more computing device communicates wirelessly with the one or more concentrators is provided. The computing device is an access device to the communications system that permits the user to interact with the communication system in order to, using voice commands, initiate telephone calls and conferences, receive telephone calls, receive pages and be located within a particular environment.

Voice-controlled communications system and method having an access device

A wireless communication system has a central computer, one or more access points and personal badges that communicate with the one or more access points. The central computer includes a database indexed by either user identification codes or badge serial numbers. When a user activates a badge, the central computer assigns the badge to the user who activated the badge so that any message for the user is directed to the badge. The user may also access his personal data section in a central computer database through the badge while the activation is valid. When the user deactivates the badge, the central computer deletes the association and returns the badge to a non-user-specific state. Where docking stations are available to rest the badges not being used, the badges may be configured so that they are activated when decoupled from the docking stations and deactivated when coupled to the docking stations.

Non-user-specific wireless communication system and method

A chat group system and method are provided that permit a communications system to implement an easy-to-use, multi-user, push-to-talk, instant communications functionality with heterogeneous access devices.

Heterogeneous device chat room system and method

A chat group system and method are provided that permit a wireless communications system based on an 802.11 protocol to implement an easy-to-use, multi-user, push-to-talk, instant communications functionality. The system maintains a reasonable system latency during the chat session while not excessively increasing the power consumption of the wireless communication devices of the 802.11 communications system. In order to decrease the packet load on the network, the system uses multicast packets to implement the feature wherever possible, with unicast packets required only at the beginning and end of each chat session, not at the beginning or end of each user's transmission.
