Abstract
A method of providing a sound file to a voice gateway for coupling the voice gateway to a receiver via a voice based telephony connection. The method includes the steps of establishing a connection to the voice gateway, dividing the sound file into smaller files with a reduced size, altering the sound file header to reflect the smaller files size. The altered file header is attached at the beginning of the smaller files. The smaller files are converted into a format usable by the voice gateway. The converted smaller files are then coupled through to the voice gateway, for playback by a user.
Claims25
A method of providing a sound file to a voice gateway for coupling to a receiver via a voice based telephony connection, comprising the steps of:
- dividing the sound file into smaller files;
- altering the sound file header to reflect the smaller files size, and attaching it to the smaller files;
- converting the smaller files into a format usable by the voice gateway, and
- providing the converted smaller files to the voice gateway.
A method of providing a sound file to a voice gateway for coupling to a receiver via a voice based telephony connection, comprising the steps of:
- dividing the sound file to form smaller sized files
- converting a first one of the smaller size file to a format suitable for the voice gateway, and
- downloading data simultaneously from the sound file into a subsequent smaller size file.
A communication system for providing a sound file to a voice gateway for coupling to a receiver via a voice based telephony connection, comprises:
- division means for reducing the sound file into smaller files;
- altering means for converting the sound file header to reflect the smaller files size, and attaching it to the smaller files;
- conversion means for rendering the smaller files usable by the voice gateway, and
- communication means for providing the converted smaller files to the voice gateway.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method of providing a sound file to a voice gateway for coupling to a receiver via a voice based telephony connection, the method comprising the steps of:
- dividing the sound file into smaller files;
- altering the sound file header to reflect the smaller files size, and attaching it to the smaller files;
- converting the smaller files into a format usable by the voice gateway, and
- providing the converted smaller files to the voice gateway.
A communication system for providing a sound file to a voice gateway for coupling to a receiver via a voice based telephony connection, comprises:
- at least one processor programmed to reduce the sound file into smaller files, convert the sound file header to reflect the smaller files size, attach the converted sound file header to the smaller files, and render the smaller files usable by the voice gateway;
- and
- communication channel coupled to the processor to provide the converted smaller files to the voice gateway.
