Abstract
A system and method for reducing delay introduced by de-jitter buffers in a VoIP network is presented. The method aspect for receiving and presenting speech data received from a VoIP network comprises monitoring speech-related packets received from a packet network and based on the monitoring, either maintaining a normal speech rate, compressing the speech rate or expanding the speech rate. The speech associated with the received packets is played out (presented audible via a speaker or other means) at the normal, compressed or expanded speech rate.
Claims19
A method of presenting a voice communication associated with data received from a VoIP network, the method comprising:
- receiving packets associated with a voice communication from a sender;
- and
- modifying a speech rate when presenting the voice communication to a recipient based on the how the packets are received from the VoIP network.
A method of receiving and presenting speech data received from a VoIP network, the method comprising:
- monitoring speech-related packets received from a packet network;
- based on the monitoring, either maintaining a normal speech rate, compressing the speech rate or expanding the speech rate;
- and
- playing out speech associated with the received packets at the normal, compressed or expanded speech rate.
A system for presenting a voice communication associated with data received from a VoIP network, the system comprising:
- a module configured to receive packets associated with a voice communication from a sender;
- and
- a module configured to modify a speech rate when presenting the voice communication to a recipient based on the how the packets are received from the VoIP network.
A system for presenting a voice communication associated with data received from a VoIP network, the system comprising:
- means for receiving packets associated with a voice communication from a sender;
- and
- means for modifying a speech rate when presenting the voice communication to a recipient based on the how the packets are received from the VoIP network.
A computer-readable medium storing instructions for controlling a computing device to present a voice communication received from a VoIP network, the instructions comprising:
- receiving packets associated with a voice communication from a sender;
- and
- modifying a speech rate when presenting the voice communication to a recipient based on the how the packets are received from the VoIP network.
