Abstract: An instant messaging translation plug-in interacts with an instant messaging program to intercept incoming messages and forward these messages to a language translation service. The plug-in then displays a translation received from the service along with the original message. This provides translation which can be used by instant messaging users to communicate across language barriers, and without local translation or knowledge of the internal workings of the translation services used. Additionally, the translation plug-in also provides for manual translation of messages, which allows communication with users who use a different language but do not use the translation plug-in.  Messages are modified before translation in order to correct spelling, to prevent particular words or phrases from being translated, and to change instant messaging language into standard language form. The techniques can be performed on various messaging services, including instant messaging on computers or mobile devices, as well as SMS.

Title: Apparatus and method for combining multiple parametrically coded audio sources
Inventor: KASTNER THORSTEN
IPC: H04N7/15
Filed: 2007-04-24
Abstract: According to the present invention, multiple parametrically encoded audio signals can be efficiently combined using an audio signal generator (100), which generates an audio output signal (120) by combining the down-mix channels (110a, 112a) and the associated parameters (110b, 112b) of the audio signals directly within the parameter domain, i.e. without reconstructing or decoding the individual input audio signals prior to the generation of the audio output signal (120). This is achieved by direct mixing of the associated down-mix channels (110a, 112a) of the individual input signals. It is one key feature of the present invention that the combination of the down-mix channels (110a, 112a) is achieved by simple, computationally inexpensive arithmetic operations.
