摘要： A method of teaching pronunciation is provided which includes communicating by a voice portal server to a user a model word and detecting a response by the user to the voice portal server. The method also includes comparing the response word to the model word and determining a confidence level based on the comparison of the response word to the model word. The method further includes comparing an acceptance limit to the confidence level and confirming a correct pronunciation of the model word if the confidence level one of equals and exceeds the acceptance limit.

摘要： An intelligent local irrigation system includes one or more sprinklers and a controller coupled to the one or more sprinklers via a wired or wireless connection and enabled to control the sprinklers thereby. A controller arrangement establishes connectivity with an internet service portal which stores a profile of the local irrigation system and which obtains information from internet-based resources. The internet service portal determines an irrigation schedule based on the profile and on information obtained from the internet-based information resources and provides the irrigation schedule to the controller arrangement for implementation.

摘要： A method and system for controlling a home automation system by voice input provided via a telephone unit. A voice portal server receives a signal transmitted by the telephone unit, processes the signal to interpret the voice input, and generates command signals for controlling a home device in the home automation system based on the interpreted voice input. The voice portal server transmits the command signals over a data network or a telephone network to a home interface for receiving the command signals transmitted by the voice portal server. The home interface controls the home device in accordance with the received command signals.

摘要： A mobile security network includes a plurality of primary mobile nodes and at least one secondary mobile node dynamically assigned to be monitored by one of the plurality of primary mobile nodes. The plurality of primary mobile nodes communicate with each other to hand off responsibility for monitoring the at least one secondary mobile node, and monitor a link quality between themselves and any assigned secondary mobile nodes. The network is configured to issue an alarm if a link quality between a secondary mobile node and its assigned primary mobile node falls below a predefined value for a predefined time period, and a link quality between the secondary mobile node and all non-assigned primary mobile nodes does not exceed the predefined link quality.

The mobile device is configured to generate a waypoint to geographically identify the location, generate a timestamp, fetch and store data associated with the location, and receive a user-provided description regarding at least one of the location and the data associated with the location. The stationary server is configured to receive geo-referential information from the mobile device, the geo-referential information including the waypoint, timestamp, and at least one of the data and user-provided description. The server includes a database to maintain the geo-referential information in a spatially and temporally organized manner, and a processing arrangement to adaptively process the geo-referential information according to at least one of a characteristic and preference of a user.
