Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de réaliser un transfert de liaison de communication par satellite avec une plate-forme mobile, telle qu'un aéronef, sortant d'une première zone de couverture et entrant dans une deuxième zone de couverture. Une liaison de communication terrestre connecte des stations terrestres dans chaque zone de couverture pour qu'elles communiquent entre elles et également avec une centre d'exploitation de réseau (NOC). A mesure que l'aéronef entre dans la zone de chevauchement entre les deux zones de couverture, une séquence de communication est lancée entre les stations terrestres et également entre chaque station terrestre et l'aéronef pour assurer la réception par l'aéronef de nouvelles attributions de liaison aller et de liaison retour, avant que ce dernier abandonne sa liaison de communication avec la première station terrestre pour commencer à communiquer avec la deuxième station terrestre. Le transfert de communication est réalisé en un temps inférieur à environ 30 secondes après qu'une des stations terrestres a détecté l'entrée de l'aéronef dans une zone de chevauchement prédéterminée entre les deux zones de couverture.

Abstract: A recognition tool according to the invention intelligently recognizes natural input before
it is passed to a destination or target application. More particularly, the recognition tool
according to the invention provides better formatting for text recognized from natural
input, based upon the context in which the text is being inserted into a target application.
The recognition tool also provides various tools for correcting inaccurately recognized
text. For example, the recognition tool allows a user to select only a part of an inaccurate
text, and then identifies alternate text candidates based upon the selected portion of the
inaccurate text. Further, when the user selects text containing multiple words for
correction, the recognition tool provides cross combinations of alternate text candidates
for the user's selection. Still further, if the user replaces inaccurate text by submitting a
new natural input object, the recognition tool ensures that the text recognized from the
new natural input object is different from the inaccurate text been replaced. The
recognition tool additionally improves the recognition experience after recognized text
has been provided to the target application. The recognition tool provides the target
application with the original natural input object for the recognized text, along with the
alternate text candidates for that original natural input object. Thus, the target application
can use the alternate text cabinets to correct inaccurately recognized text. Further, a user
can inserts the original natural input object for recognized text within the target
application.
