Remote control of a device

Abstract: A user of a remote computer accesses a target computer (e.g., the user's home PC) via the Internet. To initiate the protocol, the user launches an application which, via the Internet, sends a special request to the user's home e-mail address. If the home computer is not currently connected to the Internet, the user's Internet Service Provider (ISP) dials a telephone number for the home computer. The home computer automatically answers, and the ISP sends authentication information to the computer to establish an Internet connection. With the connection established, an IP address is sent back to the user, which can then be used to invoke X-10 functions, telnet sessions, or other activities with the target computer.

Internet telephony signal conversion

Abstract: The disclosure concerns a method of processing Internet telephony messages at gateway computer such as an IBM RISC/6000 system, comprising the steps of: receiving an Internet telephony message in a first compression scheme from a computer running an Internet telephone software application which uses the first compression scheme; converting the Internet telephony message into a compression scheme optionally via an intermediate format; sending the Internet message telephony to another computer running another Internet telephone software application using the second format.

Constrained keyboard disambiguation using voice recognition

Abstract: An improved approach for resolving overloaded keys (i.e., ambiguous keys) in constrained data entry computing systems is disclosed. A combination of an ambiguous key entry and a corresponding voice input are used to particularly identify an entered key. Examples, of constrained data entry computing systems include palm-sized computers, mobile phones (including cellular), Portable Digital Assistants (PDAs), Internet appliances, etc.

Telephony's next act

Abstract: This paper discusses the impending merger of traditional telephone networks and the Internet via a new technology, called voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). A key issue that must be addressed is how to merge the respective databases of the two communication networks. With a new type of data record, called ENUM (electronic number), the legacy information of both telephony and the Internet can be accommodated and allow a phone number to be converted to an Internet address. DNS capabilities, however, first need to be strengthened to ensure they can meet the demands of ENUM and other new network technologies.

IOT based solution for home power energy monitoring and actuating

Abstract: The current tendency to embed computational resources on quotidian objects transforms them into smart objects This is the vision of Internet of things, where many different devices collect and process information from different sources to both control physical processes and interact with human users Initially wireless sensor networks and Internet of things concepts were used with the same meaning The same happened with wireless sensor networks and the protocol IEEE 802154 It is now accepted that the Internet of tings can comprise more than one type of networks and therefore several layer two protocols In such scenarios the IP protocol it is used, like as before, to make this heterogeneity interoperable This paper presents a demonstrator for power energy monitoring and actuating system and it was developed for home environments This system is based on 6LoWPAN to connect to the Internet a smart object network with two layer 2 technologies: IEEE 8021564 and power line communication IPv4 to IPv6 transition mechanisms were included to provide connectivity to both IPv4 and IPv6 Internet end systems
