20100008479 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING COMMISSIONS FROM E-COMMERCE TRANSACTION ASSISTANCE - Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for generating commissions from e-commerce transaction assistance provided by a network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system. The network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system takes a user's textual and/or multimedia input from a user interface to schedule delivery of text-to-speech-converted information as a reminder call to a user once the user's desired time or an event for the reminder delivery is reached. If the delivered reminder call is associated with a particular e-commerce transaction, then the network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system is capable of taking a user feedback for authorization of the particular e-commerce transaction over an IVR interface during the reminder call or an online calendar interface. Once and if the user completes the authorization for the particular e-commerce transaction, the text-to-speech (TTS) alert system can charge and collect a sales and/or transaction commission from an e-commerce provider associated with the e-commerce transaction. | 01-14-2010 |
20100070282 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING TRANSACTION SUCCESS RATES FOR VOICE REMINDER APPLICATIONS IN E-COMMERCE - Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for improving transaction success rates for voice reminder applications in e-commerce. In one embodiment of the invention, the voice reminder applications in e-commerce utilizes a network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system, which can generate a purchase reminder associated with a recipient's potential purchase. The network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system can also deliver the purchase reminder to a recipient's voicemail and leave a transaction identifier number and a centralized or a recipient-specific call-back phone number to the recipient's voicemail. A recipient can utilize the transaction identifier number, the centralized or the recipient-specific call-back phone number, and optionally a recipient-specific password to make a phone call to retrieve the purchase reminder previously delivered to the recipient's voicemail by the network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system. Then, the recipient can authorize and/or complete a transaction related to the purchase reminder over the same phone call. | 03-18-2010 |

20080293540 | Method and Apparatus for Manual-Mode Shifting Using Voice Commands in Automobile Transmissions - A shift-by-speech transmission system allows a driver or a motorcyclist to choose a desired gear by voice commands. Conventional sequential semi-manual shifting only allows the driver to shift one gear up or down from a current gear using a gearshift lever or a paddle shifter. The level of driver engagement in existing semi-manual shifters leaves much to be desired for many auto enthusiasts. An intuitive and engaging shift-by-speech technology disclosed in the present invention, called “VoiceShift”, allows the driver or the motorcyclist to switch gears by voice commands. VoiceShift also allows the driver or the motorcyclist to skip gears to up-shift and down-shift as desired, as long as a desired gear does not result in mechanically-detrimental situations. | 11-27-2008 |
20080294317 | Method and apparatus to shift-by-speech for semi-manual transmissions with intelligent shifting algorithm - A shift-by-speech transmission system with intelligent shifting algorithm allows a driver or a motorcyclist to choose a desired gear by voice command. An intuitive and engaging shift-by-speech technology disclosed in the present invention, called “VoiceShift”, allows the driver or the motorcyclist to switch gears by voice commands. VoiceShift also allows the driver or the motorcyclist to skip-shift gears in non-sequential manner, thereby giving the driver a sense of freedom and excitement similar to a stick-shift manual transmission vehicle. A novel intelligent shifting algorithm of the shift-by-speech transmission system is capable of auto-correcting the driver's judgment error in skip-shifting by engaging a closest mechanically-safe gear to the driver's desired gear issued via voice command. | 11-27-2008 |
20090218187 | Tilted Push-Pull Wheeled Luggage with a Removable Front Swingable Wheel with an Elongated Neck for the Removable Front Swingable Wheel - A wheeled luggage is configured to be pushed or pulled using a handle attached to the wheeled luggage. The wheeled luggage has a main luggage body with a plurality of fixed wheels and one or more swingable wheels in front of the plurality of fixed wheels. In one or more embodiments of the invention, one or more swingable wheels in front of the plurality of fixed wheels are easily removable and re-attachable by a user. Furthermore, each swingable wheel has an elongated neck attached or attachable on-demand to a lower front portion of the main luggage body, which creates a higher ground clearance (i.e. backward tilt) in the lower front portion of the wheeled luggage relative to a lower rear portion of the wheeled luggage. This backward tilt enables a user to push the wheeled luggage ergonomically by applying a “pushing” force to the handle. | 09-03-2009 |
20110047687 | Apparatus and Method for Providing a Hygienic Toilet Seat - A hygienic toilet alert system and a method for providing a hygienic toilet seat are disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, the hygienic toilet alert system is capable of reminding a user to either raise or lower a toilet seat based on sensor feedback from a toilet seat position sensor and at least one additional sensing device, which may be a flush sensor, a proximity sensor, and/or a foot-position sensor. Furthermore, in one embodiment of the invention, the hygienic toilet alert system is also capable of providing a motorized movement of the toilet seat based on the sensor feedback. Various methods of providing the hygienic toilet seat based on the sensor feedback are also disclosed in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention. | 03-03-2011 |
