PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a cost by carrying out the work to create data of caption etc., without depending upon capable persons of a high skill level alone and to shorten working hours by making such work more efficient. SOLUTION: The system is equipped with a speech data storage section 40 which memorizes speech data, a speech recognizing device 30 which recognizes the speech emitted based on the speech data, a mouse caption editing unit 10 which specifies an error line by a mouse operation in the result of the speech recognition, a keyboard caption editing means 20 which corrects the specified error line by a keyboard operation, and a caption data memory section 50 which memorizes the caption data as the result that the mouse caption editing unit 10 decides the edition result by the keyboard caption editing means 20. Also, an auto jump function, an emphasis reproduction function with a margin to paste up, and a key input linkage reproduction function are realized in the keyboard caption editing means 20.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display a character string representing the content of a speech in synchronism with the reproduction of the speech. SOLUTION: Provided is a setting device which sets display timing for displaying the content of the speech which is predetermined in synchronism with the reproduction of the speech, the setting device is equipped with a content data acquisition part which acquires content data showing the content of the speech, a speech recognition part which generates a plurality of recognition data by dividing character data obtained by subjecting the reproduced speech to speech recognition, a character string detection part which detects character strings matching the plurality of recognition data, wherein no matching character string is detected by the character string detection part, from the content data, a character detection part detecting character strings matching the recognition data from the content data by detecting characters matching respective characters included in the recognition data from the content data, and a display setting part which sets the display timing for displaying the character string included in the content data during the reproduction of a speech recognized as recognition data matching the character string.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a user to easily select an appropriate support. SOLUTION: The support device for supporting a user to understand a content includes: a history storage part which stores histories of support setting set by the user for each of a plurality of contents the user accessed; a search part which searches, when the user accesses a content, the histories of support setting stored in the history storage part in association with the content to be accessed; and a setting part which sets, based on the histories of support setting searched by the search part, a support function for supporting the understanding of the content to be accessed.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control the display of objects so that a relationship between users can be identified. SOLUTION: A system for controlling the display of the objects includes: a storage device for storing the attribute value of a user corresponding to each of a plurality of display objects associated with different users, respectively, whose display is changed on the basis of the operations of the corresponding users; a calculation part for calculating an index value indicating the intensity of a relationship between a first display object to be operated by a first user and a second display object to be operated by a second user on the basis of the attribute value corresponding to the first display object and the attribute value corresponding to the second display object; and a display part for displaying the second display object on the picture of the first user in such configurations that the strength of relationship can be identified on the basis of the calculated index value.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for making compound contents harmless. SOLUTION: The method of this invention includes: a step for reading a predetermined word and the contents from a recorder; a step for replacing the predetermined word of the transcript data with another word and making the data transcript data of harmless contents and setting the predetermined word as the transcript data of intrinsic information; a step for replacing the predetermined data of the voice data with the other word on the basis of time when the predetermined word appears on the transcript data and making the data voice data of harmless contents and setting the predetermined word as the voice data of intrinsic information; a step for replacing the predetermined word of the presentation data with the other word and making the data the presentation data of harmless contents and setting the predetermined word as a presentation data of intrinsic information; a step for recording the harmless contents; and a step for recording the intrinsic information.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a processing load of an operator. SOLUTION: This support device for supporting the generation of text from speech data is provided with a confirmed rate calculator for calculating a confirmed utterance rate that is an utterance rate of an already-confirmed part having already-confirmed text in the speech data, a candidate obtaining unit for obtaining a plurality of candidate character strings resulting from speech recognition of an unconfirmed part having unconfirmed text in the speech data, and a selector for preferentially selecting, from among the plurality of candidate character strings, a candidate character string whose utterance time consumed in uttering the candidate character string at the confirmed utterance rate is closest to an utterance time of the unconfirmed part of the speech data.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems that manual provision of real-time captions to a presentation or the like has low popularization in costs, a high recognition rate can not be expected only by an automatic voice recognition apparatus and there is a problem of incorrect translation and to provide an inexpensive apparatus or the like. SOLUTION: The caption correction apparatus obtains character strings and a degree of confidence of a voice recognition result. A time monitoring monitor monitors time and judges whether processing is delayed or not on the basis of the degree of confidence and time status. When the processing is not delayed, manual judgment is requested to a checker. In this case, voice is processed and the manual judgment of the voice recognition result is performed on the basis of the processed voice. When the processing is delayed, automatic judgment is performed on the basis of the degree of confidence. When the validity of the voice recognition result is judged as the result of manual judgment or automatic judgment, the character strings are displayed as determined character strings. When the invalidity of the voice recognition result is judged, the voice recognition result is automatically corrected by matching on the basis of a succeeding candidate based on voice recognition, the text/attributes of the presentation, the text of a script, and so on. Automatically corrected character strings are displayed as indefinite character strings. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain proper processed results without causing such a failure as the starvation, etc., by performing access to a resource, such as the VRAM (video RAM), etc., from a plurality of processes. SOLUTION: When one of a plurality of processing means requests exclusive access to a certain part of a resource, a lock range processing section 122 permits the exclusive access to the processing means only when no failure occurs in the processing, for example, only when no exclusive access to an overlapping part is permitted to another processing means. In addition, the processing section 122 permits the exclusive access to the certain part by inhibiting the permission to the exclusive access to another part when the number of permitting times of exclusive access to other overlapping parts exceeds a fixed value while the exclusive access to the certain part is not permitted. Thus the processing section 122 prevents the occurrence of starvation by limiting the number of permitting times of exclusive access to other overlapping parts by outrunning the certain part.
