A portable assistive listening system for enhancing sound for hearing impaired individuals includes a fully functional hearing aid and a separate handheld digital signal processing (DSP) device. The focus of the present invention is directed to the handheld DSP device. The DSP device includes a programmable digital signal processor, a UWB transceiver for communicating with the hearing aid and/or other wireless audio sources, an LCD display, and a user input device (keypad). The handheld device is user programmable to apply different processing algorithms for processing sound signals received from the hearing aid or other audio source. The handheld device is capable of receiving audio signals from multiple sources, and gives the user control over selection of incoming sources and selective processing of sound. In the context of being user programmable, the digital signal processing device includes a software platform that provides for the ability of the user to select or “plug-in” desired processing algorithms for application to selected incoming audio channels and a communication port for the user to connect to a PC or other device to download preferred processing algorithms. The communication port provides the user with the ability to retrieve desirable processing algorithms from a database of available algorithms and download those algorithms directly into the device for use.

The VOD purchasing method enables a user-viewer to purchase goods via a shop OD (on-demand) process on an interactive TV (STB enabled TV). The user selects shop OD goods and the STB-TV creates a transaction ID code with the STB-ID code or the cable head end (HE) or shop OD client application at the HE creates the trans-ID. The trans-ID is displayed on the user's TV. If created at the HE, the trans-ID is sent as metadata or configured VA to the STB-TV. Supplemental communications channels may deliver carry trans-ID to the user (cell phone, VoIP, land-line telephone, Internet or fax). User profile data is gathered via supple-comm channel lists purchasing limits (time, day, monetary, and PIN). The shop OD computer server limits purchases thereby. Financial fraud and abuse parameters are set at the OD server as are parental control parameters.

A network quality control system includes a user control console to probe, calculate, and display the quality of an enterprise's network connections to remote SNMP managed devices supporting real-time services like VoIP. Traceroute-like messages are sent to each remote SNMP managed device to report on the path, and hop latency, jitter, and packet losses. MOS scores are computed to indicate performance with a variety of available codec's. Empty test packets used simply to probe network quality are not used. Instead, SNMP messages that carry valuable information or commands for other purposes are gleaned of timing information so the MOS quality scores can be calculated in background.
