IDENTIFICATION OF SPEAKER IN A TELEREUNION

摘要

The invention concerns a method for identifying a speaker among participants distributed in groups (G1 to GI) in the proximity of telephone terminals (T1 to TI) by his/her voice during a teleconference managed by a conference device (PCT) connected to the terminals. After the speaker's voice has been identified in reception by the conference device, an identifier of the speaker's voice is broadcast from the conference device to the terminals and reproduced in the terminals. The speaker is introduced to the other participants, automatically or on request, for instance, by a voice or visual message comprising his/her name. The conference device may be included in one of the terminals; for example, the identifier identifies a speaker other than the communicating telephone or radiotelephone station owner.
