Abstract: A method for managing a data stream that is transmitted from a stream transmitter to a stream receiver disposed in an environment that includes at least one individual is provided. The method includes detecting an action of the individual in the environment and determining a demographic descriptor of the individual based on the detected action. The method further includes correlating the determined demographic descriptor and a content of the data stream to determine whether a predetermined condition is satisfied, and, in response to the correlating the demographic descriptor of the individual and the content of the data stream satisfying the predetermined condition, automatically modifying the data stream.

Abstract: A method of providing a caller with a directory assistance dialog. The dialog is configurable, at any level of the dialog, from an automated speech recognition (ASR) dialog to an operator-assisted (OP) dialog. The dialog is handed off to an operator if any level of the speech recognition dialog fails. Also, a configuration switch may be set to cause the dialog to be handed off to an operator even if a response at some level of the ASR dialog is successfully recognized.

Abstract: A method and system for network-integrated remote control includes voice activation of a user interface context on a remote control device. A user may utter a voice command, which the remote control device may use to obtain a user interface context from a network server. The user interface context may be used by the remote control device to display a user interface. The voice command may be associated with desired multimedia content, which may be selectable using control elements in the user interface. The remote control device can then be used to select and control desired multimedia programs.

Abstract: Systems and methods for bio-phonetic multi-phrase speaker identity verification are disclosed. Generally, a speaker identity verification engine generates a dynamic phrase including at least one dynamically-generated word. The speaker identity verification engine prompts a user to speak the dynamic phrase and receives a dynamic phrase utterance. The speaker identity verification engine extracts at least one voice characteristic from the dynamic phrase utterance and compares the at least one voice characteristic with a voice profile the generate a score. The speaker identity verification engine then determines whether to accept a speaker identity claim based on the score.
