Patent EP-0890870-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ADACHI YOSHIHIRO
IPC: H04N1/60
Filed: 1998-07-10
Abstract: A standard color image and at least one processed
image are printed on a single sheet of photosensitive
material. The standard color image is obtained by carrying
out standard image processing on a single original color
image. The processed image is obtained by carrying out
image processing under different processing conditions on
the original color image. The different processing
conditions may be the processing conditions for altering
an image tone, image sharpness, image gradation, image
trimming, an image size enlargement scale factor, or a
combination of at least two of them. Various prints, which
are obtained from image processings carried out by setting
the processing conditions to various different processing
conditions, can thus be seen easily.

Abstract: A platform for implementing interactive voice response (IVR) applications over
the Internet or other type of network includes a speech synthesizer, a grammar
generator and a speech recognizer. The speech synthesizer generates speech which
characterizes the structure and content of a web page retrieved over the network. The
speech is delivered to a user via a telephone or other type of audio interface device. The
grammar generator utilizes textual information parsed from the retrieved web page to
produce a grammar. The grammar is supplied to the speech recognizer and used to
interpret voice commands and other speech input generated by the user. The platform
may also include a voice processor which determines which of a number of predefined
models best characterized a given retrieved page, such that the process of generating an
appropriate verbal description of the page is considerably simplified. The speech
synthesizer, grammar generator, speech recognizer and other elements of the IVR
platform may be operated by a Internet Service Provider (ISP), thereby allowing the
general Internet population to create interactive voice response applications without
acquiring their own IVR equipment.
