For over a decade Zen Bar has been known for being Connecticut's home for the Best in Karaoke and Local/Regional bands. Zen Bar's atmosphere is one that allows you to unwind with your friends and enjoy and evening of fantastic music, food and fun.
Pies and Pints is neighborhood pizzeria and pub that offers visitors casual dining, award winning food, and an extensive craft beer selection with a friendly atmosphere. Chefs prepare half-pound burgers, gourmet pizzas, fresh salads, and inspired daily specials. The sheer size of the beer selection is also unusual. The Waterbury location, for instance, has 28 draft beers tapped and ready to pour. Most of the beer on offer is as carefully crafted as the food, and the owners often like to show off the two side-by-side with special prix fixe beer dinners that include a beer pairing with every course.
Owners Aura Showah and Douglas Waterbury attribute the success of Widow Brown's Cafe, which has been in business for more than 35 years, to culinary consistency, a family-friendly ambiance, and an eclectic menu that has earned the eatery a feature in the News-Times. While two-handing a burger or steaming sandwich, patrons can peruse the chalkboard around the fully stocked bar for a list of weekly events, such as trivia, karaoke, and raucous tax-preparation luaus. Wooden wall panels glow in the light of wall-mounted TVs as forks venture south for American comfort fare or globetrot with Asian-, Irish-, and Italian-inspired dishes. As frozen drinks or draft beers chill boothside, diners can bust billiards at one of the café's pool tables or surf the café's free WiFi for instructional videos on how to correctly execute robot dance moves.

Telstra resubmits NBN planPUBLISHED: 28 Nov 2011 03:54:00 | UPDATED: 28 Nov 2011 12:58:25PUBLISHED: 28 Nov 2011 PRINT EDITION: 28 Nov 2011
Dominic White
Telstra has given ground to its rivals and the regulator in an attempt to get clearance for its $11 billion deal with the federal government over the national broadband network.
Telstra has given the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission a new draft of parts of its structural separation undertaking (SSU) that was of major concern to the commission.
It is understood the ACCC's commissioners will meet mid-week to consider the changes.
Sources say that if the commissioners are satisfied, they will open a further round of consultations with Telstra's competitors regarding the entire SSU.
Telstra has responded to demands from the ACCC to provide an "over-arching commitment" to give rivals equivalent access to its monopoly fixed line network during the 10-year transition to the NBN, which will become the new monopoly.
Telstra has spelled out how it wishes to have its copper-based home phone network regulated during the switch-over to the fibre-optic NBN.
Rivals have said Telstra's plans do not go far enough in giving them equal access to its network and have called for much tougher regulation.
Whether Telstra's response will satisfy the regulator remains to be seen, but early signs suggest it has rolled over on the many of the demands made by the ACCC.
Even if the changes satisfy the commission, they are unlikely to be enough to halt the ongoing complaints of competitors.
Telstra has made clear it does not expect any changes it has to make to its undertaking to be "material" to its shareholders. If forced to make any material alterations, Telstra has said it would subject the $11 billion deal – to hand its monopoly to the NBN – to a second shareholder vote. They voted almost unanimously in favour at last month's annual meeting.
The ACCC is likely to subject the revised undertaking to further consultation, although it is not expected to be a drawn-out process.
The regulator has already consulted widely on the first undertaking and held an industry forum on the thorny subject earlier this month.
Both ACCC chairman Rod Sims and Telstra chief executive David Thodey have described the unresolved issues as "not insurmountable". But while Telstra hopes to get clearance by Christmas, the ACCC has indicated it could take longer.
It will be Mr Sims's first major decision and it will have a huge bearing on the future of telecommunications regulation for the next 10 years.
Telstra has said it would push back its December 20 deadline for the $11 billion deal to lapse if it did not get approval before then.
Optus has led the lobbying against Telstra's first undertaking, with chief executive Paul O'Sullivan telling The Australian Financial Review recently it was "fatally flawed" and urging the competition watchdog to tighten regulation of the No. 1 telco.
Optus is one of Telstra's largest wholesale customers but has alleged for years that the latter has abused its monopoly position in fixed-line phone and broadband access to give better terms to its own retail arm than to its wholesale clients.
Unless the ACCC approves Telstra's undertakings on separation, the parallel agreement by Telstra to gradually shut its copper while transferring customers and renting infrastructure to NBN Co will not go ahead, damaging prospects for the already challenged $35.9 billion NBN project.
Telstra has outlined possible ways to assuage concerns of the industry and the ACCC, including a possible "over-arching commitment" for "equivalent" access to its network.
Optus has been pushing for such a commitment but there could yet be further debate about the precise wording of that and other changes.
Mr Thodey told the Financial Review recently he believed the rival concerns would be addressed. "To go back to shareholders again would an enormous imposition for everybody, including the commission, so we have been fairly consistent from day one, over nearly two years of negotiations, that one of our criteria was to get an acceptable, recommended deal to our shareholders."
"We have obviously read their submissions and we believe many of the issues they raised have been addressed through our undertaking already or through further modifications we are working on with the commission. Anything that is reasonable we are willing to consider. We want to get to a solution that's in the best interests of the government, the industry and Telstra.

OK so what i decided to do was have me and my friends voted on which of my ideas i will keep. it so happens that it landed on my o so funny zanpakuto about evil cats. and this is the final one. Yahhhh no more posts.
Anyway here you go.
Name: Zeno VanTile
Age: 12-14
Race: Arrancar
Aura color: Dark Orange
Character Description: Zeno is a quiet kind of guy. He doesn't really do much but read and play games. But after aizen turned him into a hollow, he has been on a kill streak he has gained control over his hunger for souls and decided that he was greater than these stupid humans and decided to start eating hollows. Soon he became an adjuchas he hasn't felt any better than this. Zeno loves to fight and will never stop fighting.
Zanpakutō name: Death Kitty
Command: Nullify
Abilities: zeno has the ability to summon millions of tiny cats out of his sword to do his bidding. If these cats were to bit you or cut you it wouldn't hurt and you won't feel it but if blood is drawn from that bite or cut you will start to feel numbness in that area and you won't be able to move it. But the numbness will only happened if 10 of those kitties bite you in the same limb. Each time one of those kitties draws blood they get 10 times bigger than normal.
In his released state he gains the powers of the cat and also gains the full body of a cat sort of like grimmjow's ability. Also in his released state he can strike at inhumane precision and it undetectable and unseen by the normal human senses.

The magic of wine is this: Even at a restaurant you don't particularly care for, say a Venice wine bar populated with trust-fund dudes and winking navel rings, rubbery scallops and cured-meat platters that wouldn't be out of place at the Olive Garden, even after six duff courses, it is possible to chase a simple plate of gnocchi with a glass of South African Syrah, and the combination of food and wine is so stunningly right that the floor drops away and the ceiling turns to clouds, and you are left with an animal sense of well-being that lasts all afternoon.Wine people know all about these moments — that's why the wines capable of providing them can cost several hundred dollars a bottle. But they, along with many chefs, know wine's dirty little secret: You don't have to spend a fortune. If the wine is good enough, transcendence is only a lamb chop away.
The best wine program in Los Angeles at the moment may be at Bastide, which is a tiny, staggeringly chic restaurant tucked away in the Melrose Place decorator district, on a block where almost every shop bears notices from Elle Decor or Vogue. You know what you've heard about the writers' strike driving all of Hollywood back to takeout Chinese food and microwaved burritos? Somebody here didn't get the memo, because reservations are as hard to snag as Lakers floor seats, and Bastide — run at the whim of Joe Pytka, a television-commercial auteur who has directed talents as diverse as John Lennon and Bugs Bunny — is just lousy with Hollywood guys, who wear the kinds of thrown-together designer outfits that H&M knocks off at about 5 percent of the price. Pytka displays a lot of art here, but the most stunning visual in the restaurant may be the array of bottles in the dining room holding the chef's table, including some vintages that were on the vine when Abigail Adams was living in the White House.
Not long before Pytka lured Walter Manzke to become the third chef of the restaurant, he managed to hire Pieter Verheyde as his sommelier, a young Belgian who had become well-known in the wine world for his work as wine director for Alain Ducasse's restaurants in Paris and New York, a spry cat with the impish, otherworldly presence of a medieval alchemist and a mind for wines that may rival that of Garry Kasparov's for chess. Bastide's 1,400-strong wine list, once famous for its depth and obstinate Frenchness, suddenly ranged all over the wine-growing world.
At Ducasse in New York, Verheyde's list was classic, but idiosyncratic and expensive, with a strong specialty in wines that were otherwise unavailable, and he discovered a gift for persuading customers to drink wines outside their comfort zone. At Bastide, he's like a teenager with a powerful new motorcycle — he knows he should be responsible, but he can't stop popping wheelies. The first weeks the restaurant was open, the cellar wasn't quite ready, and Verheyde's by-the-glass wine pairings were included in the price of dinner — stunned customers found themselves drinking things like Transylvanian Kiralyleanyka, a six-dollar wine whose bright acidity happened to make a piece of seared sea bass pop in a way that no grand cru Chablis ever could. At the moment, more than 90 percent of Bastide's customers sign on for the wine pairings he designed to go along with the tasting menus, at the not-insignificant price of $60, $90 or $190 per person.
I'm not usually much for wine pairings. With tasting menus, I like to order a bottle or two of food-friendly Alsatian pinot blanc or Piemontese dolcetto and let the dishes sort of lean into the wine: There are only so many flavors one's mind can process over the course of a meal. The surprising thing about Verheyde's pairings is not just that they are appropriate and delicious — anybody could do that. It's that the mind-blowing wines are not only the tastes of $500-a-bottle Echezeaux with the roasted duck or the sweet SGN pinot gris from Zind Humbrecht with the perfectly ripened Epoisses. They include the salty, slightly oxidized Coenobium made by the sisters at a Trappist monastery in north Lazio, the rose champagne from Sacy, Syrah from California's Central Coast and twinned vintages of Gruner Veltliner from Donabaum's Danube-adjacent vineyards, all of which you could find for $30 a bottle or so if you knew where to look (most of us assuredly don't), and all of which not only complement Manzke's cooking but combine into a new thing, a third taste, the kind of harmony that you look for every time you pop a cork. Let the snobs and the proper East Coasters have their Lynch Bages, their Opus and their oaky Chardonnays. Verheyde's list tastes like freedom.

Swan family gets two new members
Date: May 20, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Don't count your swans before they hatch.
The Harbour Links swan family has two new members after two cygnets, or baby swans, hatched Friday, May 15. Stan and Wendy's nest was located close to Red tee No. 6 in the Harbour Links golf course at the Longboat Key Club and Resort.
That brings the total number of the swans at the Key Club to 17.
A week before the eggs hatched, Harbour Links resident David Novak, who acts as the unofficial swan keeper, said that chances didn't look good for the nest. Stan and Wendy had been sitting on the nest for six weeks — usually the point, according to Novak, at which if eggs haven't hatched, they are unlikely to do so.
The nest contained four eggs; Novak is unsure about what happened to the other two eggs.
In addition, five cygnets hatched from the nest of Henry and Vickie on April 22.

All eyes were on Flowers in particular, as it was his first day with the team after signing in late July. The initial reviews were all positive, which isn't much of a surprise considering his resume.
"It's great to have him," McCoy said. "Having played against him the last five years, four years when I was in Denver and the last year here, but to get one of the best corners in the league on your football team is outstanding. It just creates more competition on the roster and that's going to be a good thing."
Still, the head coach cautioned not to get too far ahead of ourselves as it was only the first day in a long process.
"It's day one," he said. "We have to start with a positive day and then have another positive day tomorrow."

Tel Aviv bus hit by bomb; Hamas celebrates
"You opened the gates of hell on yourselves," Hamas's armed wing, the al-Qassam brigades, said on Twitter. "Oh Zionists, you have to drag yourselves out of hell, go back home now, go back to Germany, Poland, Russia, America and anywhere else."
As long as Muslims teach their children to hate Jews this will go on. This basic hatred eminating from madrassas is a core belief of Islam that needs to be abandoned.
Hey Anderson, did you too celebrate?

Stop your Fox news rants, Fox news has NOTHING to do with our disagreement. Every time I hear that rant, it just means you have nothing to offer as usual. So Professor, what is your lesson for me today? There were no original Palestinians. Do some research, quit acting like you know it all.

Your post just shows how freaking clueless you really are. Study some history, it's well documented. It's not about skin tones, put the racism away. Jews do recognize Jesus, Just not as the Messiah, Just like the Muslims. Poor piss example, Palestinians never did have a country.
#3429 Nov 21, 2012
Im not ranting, it is what it is. As long as you are getting your information from a politicized source you arent going to be able to comprehend anything other than what is preached to you.
I honestly dont care if you watch Faux, but dont come in here and try to have conversations with people on subjects that you know absolutely nothing about.
I dont know it all, I know more than you, but nearly everyone does, again.. no great claim.
The issues in the Middle east are complex, and if you cannot put yourself in the perspective of either side, then there is no point in talking to you, much less listening to anything you say.
Get out of the bubble and think for yourself for a change.

I don't get my information from Fox. If I dared did, why can't you tackle the content instead of the source? Why don't you start a new topic called, Fox the boogyman? The issues in the Middle East go back to the Biblical days. I work with an Islamic friend from the Middle east. I have to be careful saying anything about 2 sides to the story, the hatred for Israel is driven in from childhood. They watch cartoons about killing jews as kids. But let's hear your perspective, since you claim to know so much?
Since: Nov 12
#3431 Nov 21, 2012
Israel apologize and attempt to avoid civilians while Hamas "blesses" those who kill civilians...paints a very simple picture of what Israel is dealing with.
#3432 Nov 21, 2012
and you think that person is a cross section?
I have worked with a lot of them, and still work with a lot of them, I work with a lot of Jews also, in fact I have one team where there is a couple of each, they get along just fine. In fact they work well together.
You assume everyone has a hatred like you do of Liberals, it isnt the case.
The issue isnt racial, it isnt color, it isnt even religion, the issue is the land.
I dont expect you to understand this, you cant as long as you have that bias-box preaching to you every day.
#3433 Nov 21, 2012
The conjecture was about your inability to see anything from another perspective.
Islam recognizes Christ also, you didnt mention that.
I think we have the crux of it, your bias is because of religion?
If so you just lost all credibility ( not that you had much )
#3434 Nov 21, 2012
I just realized I was right, he honestly has no clue at all.
as if he has been living in a shell preached to him either from a pulpit or the Faux box
He honestly has no idea of what the actual situation is and has been.

You must be really slow today, Might want to read the post you're responding to fool, I DID mention "that". Therefore it makes your post a waste....again. Read the post slower before you spit your rants.
#3440 Nov 21, 2012
Has anyone noticed that these liberal progressives [AKA Socialists / Communists Wannabe's] have absolutely no issues of any substance that they continually bring up Romney? I guess when you are so infatuated with protecting your Baracks butt that you have to find something to try and swerve around the financial crap we are in.

True, I keep reminding them Romney lost. And did you notice it's off limits to talk about Benghazi? That's when they rant about Bush and what he did. It's entertaining....lol.
#3442 Nov 21, 2012
I cant imagine doing that either...

#3444 Nov 21, 2012
Oh no, I can read between the lines very well.
You really have shown that you dont have enough actual information to even be in this conversation.
In fact I hit the mark pretty well, I knew it had to come down to either race or religion

On Dec. 31, AT&T announced that it was dropping its sponsorship of Tiger, including its sponsorship of his PGA golf tournament.
Others stood fast -- and the price they paid may have been steep: A study by finance professors at the University of California, Davis, estimated that shareholders of such Tiger Woods-endorsed stocks lost between $5 billion to $12 billion in market value since the Tiger sex scandal broke -- although a recent review of the researchers' methodology by the Wall Street Journal raised significant doubts regarding that conclusion.
Despite all this -- and the seemingly irreparable harm done to his once good name -- it is worth nothing that Woods Forbes' still managed to make it to the top of Forbes'"Fab 40" list of the most powerful sports brands; with an estimated value of $82 million.In fact, Woods' value still reportedly exceeded that of some of the biggest names in the sports world combined, topping David Beckham ($20 million), tennis player Roger Federer ($16 million), NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. ($14 million) and National Basketball Association stars LeBron James ($13 million) and Kobe Bryant ($12 million).

We'd been warned time and again this holiday season about the risk of identity theft when shopping online — the dangers of making a purchase when connected to unsecured WiFi or entering a social security number on a sketchy shopping website.
But the massive security breach at Target, which compromised up to 40 million customer credit and debit cards in late November and early December, is a reminder that the good ol' fashioned brick-and-mortar stores still carry massive risks for shoppers. The theft of customer credit- and debit-card information at Target, which went on for 19 days during the height of the holiday shopping season, has left individuals vulnerable to fraudulent charges on their accounts and identity theft that could take months to resolve. And it will inevitably hurt Target's sales during this critical time of year, when many retailers make up to 40 percent of their annual sales, and do even longer-term damage

Unione Sportiva Sassuolo Calcio is an Italian association football club, based in Sassuolo, Emilia-Romagna. They are playing in Serie A, having made their first top flight appearance ever in the 2013–14 season as 2012–13 Serie B champions.
Due to the lack of a Serie A licensed venue in Sassuolo, they play home games in neighbouring Reggio Emilia at Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore, which was acquired by the club in December 2013.
The club was founded in 1922.
Serie C1[edit]
Sassuolo reached Serie C1 in 2006, after winning the promotion play-offs by beating Sansovino in the final. In the following years, Sassuolo proved to be a serious contender for promotion to Serie B, barely missing it in 2007, with Gian Marco Remondina as head coach, as they lost immediate promotion to Grosseto in the final season days, and were defeated by fifth-placed Monza in the play-off semi-finals. Remondina then left Sassuolo to join Serie B's Piacenza, and former Serie A player Massimiliano Allegri was then chosen as new head coach.
Under Allegri, Sassuolo quickly revived their hopes to obtain promotion to Serie B; this ultimately came on 27 April 2008, when they won the Serie C1/A title, thus ensuring a historical promotion to Serie B, the first in the club's history.[1]
Serie B[edit]
Following Sassuolo's promotion to the Italian second tier, Allegri left Sassuolo to fill the head coaching position at Serie A team Cagliari. On July 2008 the club appointed former Atalanta and Siena boss Andrea Mandorlini for the 2008–09 season.
Sassuolo had a surprising start to the 2008–09 campaign and held a promotion play-off place for very long time, but they managed to win only two points in the last 5 games and eventually finished in 7th place. Despite a successful season, Mandorlini left Sassuolo by mutual consent in June 2009. They appointed former Piacenza coach Stefano Pioli on 11 June 2009.
Sassuolo successively qualified to the Serie B promotion play-offs in 2009–10 by coming fourth, and 2011–12 in third, being eliminated at the semi-finals in both seasons.
However, in the 2012–13 season, under the guidance of new head coach Eusebio Di Francesco, Sassuolo won the Serie B title, thus achieving direct promotion to Serie A and ensuring a first top flight campaign ever for the small Emilian club in the 2013–14 season.
Serie A[edit]
During pre-season training Sassuolo then went on to win the Trofeo Tim cup after losing to Juventus on penalties and then beating Milan 2–1. This is the first time a team apart from Milan, Inter or Juventus have won the Cup.
On 25 August 2013, Sassuolo played their first Serie A match, a 2–0 loss away at Torino.[2] Their second match was their first at home, against Livorno. Simone Zaza scored Sassuolo's first top-flight goal as they lost 4–1.[3] The team earned their first point in their fifth match, on 25 September away to Napoli. Zaza equalised as the game finished 1–1, ending the hosts' perfect start to the season.[4] This was followed by a first home point on 29 September, a 2–2 draw with Lazio.[5] On 20 October 2013, Sassuolo won their first Serie A game, defeating Bologna 2–1 at home with goals from Domenico Berardi and Antonio Floro Flores, moving the club off bottom place.[6]
Sassuolo won away for the first time in Serie A on 3 November, against Sampdoria, with Berardi scoring their first top-flight hat-trick to win 4–3.[7] Since the following match, a 1–1 draw at AS Roma on 10 November, the club has been outside the relegation zone.[8] On 12 January 2014, Berardi was the only player in the season to score 4 goals in a game, as Sassuolo came from 2-0 down to win 4-3 against A.C. Milan.[9] Sassuolo won its away match against Fiorentina 4-3 on 6 May 2014, and by winning 4-2 against Genoa on 11 May 2014 guaranteed to remain in Serie A for the 2014–15 season.
Colours and badge[edit]
Sassuolo's colours, green and black, originated from a kit donated by Lancaster Rovers FC of England.[citation needed]
Sassuolo's home stadium is Stadio Enzo Ricci still used for training, but due to its tiny capacity (4,000), the club played Serie B seasons in Modena's Stadio Alberto Braglia.[10]
Starting from the 2013–14 season, the first Serie A campaign for the club, Sassuolo will play in Reggio Emilia at the renovated Stadio Città del Tricolore (formerly Stadio Giglio) in a venue-sharing agreement with Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Reggiana.[11]

A communication device (200), such as a cellular mobile phone or a cordless phone, has a dial unit (208) for communication with a base station. An input device for dialing a phone number which forwards a coded dial signal (215) to the dial unit (208) is implemented as an optical character recognition (OCR) scanner (210) that reads phone numbers (202) from a printed or hand-written original (201). Optionally, especially for recognizing hand-writing, the scanner (210) sends graphical representations of input data to the base station that obtains the code dial signals by an external processor.
1. Communication device having a dial unit to establish communication via a communication channel, said communication device characterized by a built-in optical character recognition reader to receive a dial identification from an original, wherein said reader collects image data of said dial identification by being in a predetermined distance from said original during a predetermined data collecting time.

The present invention generally relates to a communication device, and, more particularly, to a portable phone.
A communication device is often used in a network having a plurality of nodes. When a user wants to establish a communication between the device and a node, then the user usually manually inputs a node identifier through a keyboard of the device.
For example, the device is a portable phone operating in a public or private telephone network where the nodes are further phones (e.g., cellular phones or fixed network phones). The user establishes a communication by dialing a phone number.
However, typing a number into a keyboard by a human might cause misled phone calls. A physically challenged person might not be able to use the keyboard.
Phones having a dial function that is supported by voice recognition became recently available on the market. Apart from technical problems occurring in a noisy environment, some users hesitate from speaking a phone number into the phone, for example, because they fear to disclose the number in public.
JP 9307617 teaches a portable phone where the number is dialed by a bar-code scanner; requiring that numbers have to be available in a bar-code format. U.S. Pat. No. 5,966,669 teaches a portable phone that can be connected to an external bar-code/OCR reader. Further references for OCR readers are U.S. Pat. No. 4,408,344, U.S. Pat. No. 4,075,605, U.S. Pat. No. 5,574,804, European Patent Specification EP 0063243B1, and European Patent Application EP 0062777A2.
The present invention seeks to provide a communication device which mitigate or avoid these and other disadvantages and limitations of the prior art.

FIG. 1 illustrates a simplified diagram of communication device 100 (hereinafter �device 100�) with built-in OCR reader 110 according to the present invention. Illustrated are device 100, original 101, dial identification 102, dial unit 108, communication channel 109, and OCR reader 110.
Preferably, device 100 is a portable phone, such as a cellular phone (analog or digital, e.g., GSM, CDMA), a cord less phone (e.g., DECT). Device 100 can also be a two-way radio. Device 100 establishes communication via channel 109 (e.g., radio connection) to an above mentioned network node (e.g., base station) by dialing with dial unit 108. The term �dialing� that is often used in connection with phones is intended to include here also �selecting� that is often used in the field of two-way radios.
Device 100 is characterized by built-in optical character recognition (OCR) reader 110 to receive dial identification 102 from an original 101 (e.g., paper, computer display screen, or any other substrate). Reader 110 can comprise a charge-coupled device (CCD) or other means for reading.
Dial identification 102 can be any written identifier (by hand, typewriter, or printed). Preferably, dial identification 102 is phone number or a name of a person (or institution etc.) to be called. Device 100 can also be adapted for communication with a fax machine. For simplicity, the term �phone number� used herein is intended to refer also to fax numbers. However, this is not limited; identification 102 can also be an internet address (e.g., �http//www . . . �). When identification 102 is a name then device 100 conveniently uses a look-up table (not illustrated) to allocate a phone number for the name. In the example, used herein, dial identification 102 is given by the phone number �0611. . . � (area code for the German city of Wiesbaden); with the ellipsis standing for any further combination, but of course device 100 can read any other phone number.
In operation, device 100 reads identifier 102, performs any of the well known OCR procedures, and uses a coded representation (e.g., ASCII-code, see FIG. 2) of identification 102 to dial.
FIG. 2 illustrates device 100 with more detail as well as illustrates phone network base station 141. Illustrated are device 100 (dashed frame), original 101 (below), reader 110, optical scanner 120, character recognition processor 130, external character recognition processor 140, code representation 145 (�ASCII�), base station 141, transmitter 151, receiver 152, and graphical representation 155 (e.g., �0611� as pixels).
Reader 110 of device 100 preferably comprises optical scanner 120 and character recognition processor 130. Examples for OCR-readers are given, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,574,804; 4,408,344; and 4,075,605.
Optionally, processor 130 can be coupled to or can comprise memory 135 for storing phone numbers (or other identification 102) that have been recognized. Preferably, character recognition processor 130 has a reduced recognition algorithm that recognizes numbers and control characters (such as hyphens and a few symbols) only, but not letters.
In a convenient embodiment, processor 130 recognizes the presence of phone number indicators 102 (and/or fax number indicators, see above) on original 101. Such indicators can be keywords (e.g., in English �PHONE�, �phone�, �CALL�, �telephone�), phrases (e.g., �CALL 1-800�, �Call me under�), or pictograms (e.g., for �phone� as illustrated; language or country code identifiers with flags, etc.).
Recognition is not limited to the Latin alphabet, languages that use non-Latin characters (e.g., Russian, Korean, Chinese, Japanese) can also be considered.
Pictograms are also useful. For example, scanning the symbol �information� (cf. illustrated in original 101 on the right) would connect the user to directory enquiries or any other operator assisted information service. Further modifications are also useful. For example, device 100 can be coupled to an information network that allows the user to scan in keywords and to get connected to an assistant. For example, of the user would read in the words �hotel� and �Wiesbaden� then a call to the Tourist Information Service Center in Wiesbaden could be established.
It is convenient to have processor 130 being part of device 100, but not essential for the present invention. Additionally to scanner 120, reader 110 can optionally comprise transmitter 151 to send graphical representation 155 (of dial identification 102) to external character recognition processor 140 and receiver 152 (of code representation 145) of dial identification from external processor 140. Preferably, transmitter 151 and receiver 152 operate through channel 109. This optional external recognition can be activated, for example, when dial identification 102 is written by hand and built-in processor 130 does not recognize the hand-writing. Preferably, external processor 140 is located in base station 141 (e.g., of a cellular phone network). In such an implementation, the network provider can charge the user for recognition (�pay per scan�). Reader 110 of device 100 can also scan further information (e.g., a picture) from original 101 to be transmitted to a further device (e.g., a fax machine, printer) without OCR. When OCR is used, then device 100 can transmit further information as a short message in a cellular phone network (so called SMS). This optional feature is useful, for example, to transmit addresses from a visiting card (�calling card�, �business card�, details FIG. 7).
FIG. 3 illustrates device 100 having reader 110 implemented by line scanner 121. Illustrated are device 100, original 101, dial identification 102, reader 110 and line scanner 121 with wheel 107 (optional).
Reader 110 receives dial identification 102 by line scanner 121 when device 100 is moved over original 101 in a first direction during a predetermined reading time (e.g., a few milliseconds). For example, the user can sweep device 100 over a text showing a phone number. Optionally, reader 110 touches original 101 by wheel 107 to obtain synchronization information.
FIG. 4 illustrates device 100 having reader 110 implemented by an autofocus objective 122 projecting the picture to a CCD-matrix or other type of image sensor. Illustrated are device 100, original 101, dial identification 102, and reader 110 with autofocus objective 122.
Reader 110 collects image data of dial identification 102 by being in a predetermined distance D (e.g., 2. . . 300 milli meters) from original 101 during a predetermined data collecting time. In other words, the user holds device 100 near original 101 that is snap-shooting.
FIG. 5 illustrates device 100 having reader 110 implemented by contact camera 123 where distance D is substantially zero. Illustrated are device 100 having outer surface 105, original 101, dial identification 102, reader 110, contact camera 123 with active background light 125 or florescent background light 126, as well as display 162.
Reader 110 comprises contact camera 123 that receives dial identification 102 when touching original 101 during a predetermined data collecting time TC (short as in FIG. 4). Preferably, camera 123 has equal or larger dimensions than original 101. For example, for a printed 12-digit phone number (14 point letters) that is about 30 milli meters long and 3 milli meters high, camera 123 could have that dimensions.
Contact camera 123 can be provided, for example, by a CCD-matrix that has the same dimensions as identification 102. Camera 123 can also be implemented by a scanning array with row and columns of photo sensitive diodes as explained in above mentioned U.S. Pat. No. 4,408,344.
Device 100 preferably incorporates camera 123 on an outer surface 105, preferably on its backside, opposite to display 162 (cf. FIGS. 6 and 8). The user simply puts device 100 on the original. It is an advantage of the embodiment in FIG. 5 that it is not required to move device 100.
FIG. 5 also illustrates how the light to operate camera 123 is obtained. Contact camera 123 can have active background light 125 (e.g., located inside device 100, light emitting diodes LEDs); or contact camera 123 has florescent background light 126 (e.g., layer above camera 123) that is activated before receiving dial identification 102 by exposing device 100 to environment light. A further way to obtain the light is mentioned in connection with FIG. 6.
FIG. 6 illustrates the device of FIG. 5 with a transparent camera. Illustrated are device 100, original 101, dial identification 102, contact camera 123, and LCD display 162. Contact camera 123 is based on a translucent material (e.g., glass, or polymer) to let environment light reaching original 102. If the material is also transparent, then the user has the advantage to see original 102 while operating reader 110. Further, the material that carries camera 123 can have a liquid crystal display LCD for a confirmation function (details FIG. 8).
FIG. 7 illustrate device 100 having reader 110 implemented as a visiting card reader. Illustrated are device 100, original 101 (e.g., card), recess 106, and reader 110 (dashed). The user temporarily inserts original 101 into recess 106 (or pushes it through).
FIG. 8 illustrates device 100 with confirmation interface 160. Illustrated are device 100, dial identification 102, reader 110, interface 160, voice generator 161, loudspeaker 162, and display 163.
Device 100 receives a confirmation from the user via interface 160, for example, when the user presses key 169 (�DIAL�). Preferably, the user can also input a rejection (by a key or otherwise).
Confirmation interface 160 returns the recognized dial identification 102 to the user, for example through voice generator 161 and loudspeaker 162 or through display 163. Preferably, display 163 is arranged such that display 163 is visible to the user when reader 110 is operating. In the above mentioned example, where original 101 shows identification �0611�, loudspeaker 162 would speak �zero-six-one-one� and/or display 163 would indicate �0611�.
Optionally, interface 160 returns the recognized dial identification 102 to the user together with a redundant check information derived from dial identification. To use the example again, loudspeaker 162 would output �zero-six-one-one Wiesbaden� and/or display 163 would indicate �0611 Wiesbaden�.
When in case of an recognition error, device 100 outputs �0911 Nuernberg� so that the user can easily recognize the error.
Further modifications can be implemented without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, device 100 could memorize (cf. memory 135 in FIG. 2) frequently used area codes. In case of an infrequent recognized number, device 100 could ask the user to verify (�You really want to call to Nuernberg?�).
FIG. 9 illustrates device 100 with sensor 170 that activates reader 110. Illustrated are device 100, original 101, sensor 170 as mechanical switch 175.
Reader 110 is activated by sensor 170 that senses the presence of original 101. Sensor 170 can be implemented, for example, by a proximity sensor. In the example of FIG. 9, sensor 170 is implemented by mechanical switch 175.
Further modifications, to device 100 can be accomplished. For example, dial unit 108 (cf. FIG. 1) can be implemented by a loudspeaker (e.g., loudspeaker 162 in FIG. 8) to output a representation of dial identification 102 by a dual tone multi frequency (DTMF) signal. Without the need to type in a single digit into a conventional phone keyboard or to read a phone number from paper by his or her eyes, the user can set up a phone call by simply scanning a phone number and holding device 100 to the microphone of a conventional phone (channel 109). Such a �dial assistant� is convenient for users that are physically challenged.
Various further possibilities can be obtained when reader 110 is a color reader. To mention only a few advantages, the above mentioned recognition of national flags would be enhanced. For example, tricolors used in many European countries can be distinguished with higher accuracy.
FIG. 10 illustrates a simplified method flow chart diagram of method 300 according to the present invention. Method 300 for communicating node identifier 102 through portable communication device 100 to a network (represented by base station 141 in FIG. 2) having a plurality of nodes (wherein identifier/phone number 102 is available on original 101) comprises the steps of scanning 310, converting 320, and dialing 330. In scanning step 310, original 101 is at least partially scanned into a memory (like memory 135) of device 100 to obtain graphical representation 155 (e.g., pixel image) of identifier 102. In converting step 320, graphical representation 155 is converted into a code representation, wherein OCR techniques are used. In dialing step 330, the code representation is send to the network.
Optionally, converting step 320 can comprise the steps transmitting 321 the graphical representation to an external processor (cf. processor 141 in FIG. 2) and processing 322 the graphical representation by the external processor to the code representation.
FIG. 11 illustrates portable phone 200 in a preferred embodiment of communication device 100 according to the present invention. Preferably, portable phone 200 is a cellular mobile phone or a cord less phone (mentioned above). As illustrated, portable phone 200 has loudspeaker 291, microphone 292, display 262 (optional) and dial unit 208 for communication with a base station (e.g., station 141 in FIG. 2). For simplicity, unit 208 is symbolized only by an antenna. As in most phones, phone 200 has an input device for dialing a phone number which forwards a coded dial signal 215 to dial unit 208. According to the present invention, the input device is implemented as scanner 210 (details in FIGS.1-10) with a character recognition function to convert a written dial identifier 202 (cf. 102, phone number) on paper 201 (cf. original 101) to coded dial signal 215. FIG. 11 indicates that the user sweeps phone 200 over paper 201 by the hand in arrow direction (reverse direction also possible).
Preferably, scanner 210 is limited to recognize numbers. Optionally, scanner 210 converts alphanumeric representations (e.g., names, internet addresses) of dial identifier 202 to phone numbers by using a look-up table (not illustrated). When required, for example, to recognize hand-writing, scanner 210 sends graphical representations of input data to the base station that obtains the code dial signals (cf. external processor 140 in FIG. 2).
While the invention has been described in terms of particular structures, devices and methods, those of skill in the art will understand based on the description herein that it is not limited merely to such examples and that the full scope of the invention is properly determined by the claims that follow.
