Definitions
- Invention is related to all and any telephony devices and other communication devices, mobile or landline. Prerequisites are existence of Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLP, CID, CLI) on connected telephone line and ability of telephone device to display that info. Then, based on displayed calling party name/number, telephone speaks name or number to active speaker.
- CLP Calling Line Identification Presentation
- CLI Calling Line Identification Presentation
- telephone speaks name or number to active speaker.
- Technical problem During last years almost all mobile telephones and many landline phones are capable of displaying name and/or number of calling party. When telephone has directory in it, user can see corresponding name instead of calling number according to description he or she assigned to number in question. On some markets, switchboard sends name with number and on some markets only number is sent.
- Car kit for hands-free telephone conversation (fixed or mobile) solves only part of the problem since as soon as mobile phone rings, driver will still be looking at the screen of the phone trying to figure out who is calling. Doing that, he or she will endanger traffic during time spent trying to read small characters on the phone somewhere in the dashboard. Persons using portable hands-free also are not able to view name/number of person calling since their mobile phone is carried in e.g. carrying case or pocket.
- Simple solution for all aforementioned groups of users and for all other users is phone that speaks name or number of calling party using voice. Same principle is applied for all other situations when device's display shows name or number as in lists of missed, dialed and answered calls or during dialing. If the telephone can recognize telephone number that was typed into it and if it can be associated with name in directory, such name will also be spoken.
- Telephone devices on the market today only display name and/or number on display. Some models, more and more of them, offer voice dialing but that does not solve problem of recognizing identity of caller without reading letters on the display. Momentarily processor power and memory capacity of the telephones can not support voice synthesis in order to read all names or numbers, but very soon, that option will be available, too.
- Principle of invention
- Invention is characterized by idea that telephone device uses voice to say name or number of calling party.
- Primary target is to enable user to recognize caller identity without need to look at the telephone display - NoiceCLIP. That is achieved in such a way that the telephone using active loudspeaker (e.g inside phone, portable hands- free, car-kit hands-free) pronounces name or number of calling party.
- Voice tag after pronunciation is finished with word "Calling”.
- Basis of invention is modification of software in telephony device in such a way that calling line presentation is connected with ability to pronounce needed words using available technology and abilities of device.
- Basic assumption is that telephony device in question offers ability to display name and/or number of calling party. Telephone then pronounces corresponding name or number.
- Basic form of "NoiceCLIP" function is when software in telephone uses voice dial tags when they already exist in telephone, providing that user has configured (saved) them. This principle is usable now in many existing mobile telephones requiring very small software change. Telephone speaks corresponding voice tag in short intervals, repeating it intermittent with ringing, as long as user does not answer or reject call.
- NoiceCLIP More advanced "NoiceCLIP" form is to use built in voice synthesis software that can, dependant on selected language, say name or number as it is sent or saved in telephone directory, regardless if there is voice tag for that name. Third possibility is to spell out incoming number in correct language.
- active loudspeaker e.g inside phone, portable hands-free, car-kit hands-free
- list of availabe names any available memory is used, either inside telephone or in external device such as car-kit hands free. If external equipment is connected, e.g. car-kit hands free, and it offers voice dialing separately from voice dialing list in the telephone unit itself, advantage should be given to bigger memory, usually from external equipment.
