PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a speaker classification device in which linguistic features contained in a speech are utilized to detect erroneous classification caused by sonic features.SOLUTION: A speaker classification device of an embodiment comprises sonic classification means, linguistic feature extraction means and erroneous classification detection means. The sonic classification means classifies speeches contained in inputted sonic signals for each speaker by utilizing sonic features extracted from the sonic signals and acquires a classification result. The linguistic feature extraction means acquires a character string representing contents of the speech and utilizes the character string to extract linguistic features of the speaker contained in the classification result. The erroneous classification detection means discriminates whether or not the character string representing the contents of the speech meets the linguistic features of the speaker classifying the speech in the classification result and, if not, discriminates the speech as a speech erroneously classified by the sonic classification means.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform highlighting corresponding to a usage situation and a learning situation of a user.SOLUTION: A conference support device comprises a pronunciation recognition information storage part, a word emphasis determination part and a display content generation part. The pronunciation recognition information storage part associates a word with pronunciation information and a pronunciation recognition frequency by word and stores it as storage information. The word emphasis determination part determines if a second set consisting of a second word and pronunciation information that matches a first set consisting of a first word and pronunciation information is included and shows information if the first word should be highlighted based on the pronunciation recognition frequency of the second word when the second set is included. If the first word should be highlighted, the word emphasis determination part generates emphasis determination information including emphasis level that shows a degree of highlighting decided according to the pronunciation recognition frequency of the second word. If the first word should be highlighted based on the emphasis determination information, the display content generation part generates a highlighted character string which is the first word combined with a mark showing higher emphasis level should be highlighted stronger.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a radio relaying device and a radio communication relaying method for putting together or distributing transmission data among radio communication devices. SOLUTION: The radio relaying device relays radio communications among a plurality of radio communication devices. At first, a first service and configuration information representing the configuration of a radio communication device associated with the service are established at the radio relaying device. A service available by the radio communication device is searched according to a service search procedure. The radio communication device associated with the searched service is identified based on the configuration information, and connection with the identified radio communication device is activated. Radio communication channels between radio communication devices for starting the connection are put together or distributed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wireless relay apparatus and a wireless communication system capable of providing and utilizing a wireless service even in a range in excess of a wireless communication range decided by the standard. SOLUTION: The wireless communication system is provided with a BT user terminal 1 and a BT service apparatus 2 each having a wireless function in compliance with the specification of the Bluetooth (R); and a plurality of relay apparatuses 3 configured similarly to the configuration shown in Figure. Each relay apparatus 3 is provided with a Bluetooth (R) communication section performing wireless communication in compliance with the specification of the Bluetooth (R), a CoD (class of device) setting section, an SDP (service discovery protocol) relay section, a channel relay section, and a TCP/IP communication section. Since the BT user terminal 1 receives provision of the service by the BT service apparatus 2 over a range far broader than a communication distance decided by the specification of the Bluetooth (R), the convenience of users is enhanced.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a text reproduction device, a method and a program for accurately locating the start of a voice.SOLUTION: A reproduction part reproduces voice data. A first acquisition part acquires a text input by a user. A setting part sets a sectioning position for sectioning the text in accordance with an input from a user during the reproduction of the voice data. A second acquisition part acquires the reproducing position of the voice data reproduced when the sectioning position is set. An estimation part performs the matching of a text in a periphery of the sectioning position and voice data in a periphery of the reproducing position, and estimates the more accurate position of the voice data corresponding to the sectioning position. A correction part corrects the reproducing position into the estimated more accurate position of the voice data, and when the sectioning position is designated by the user, performs setting so that the reproduction of the voice data can be started from the corrected reproducing position.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide information that can easily set a speaker name to utterance data of the speaker.SOLUTION: A first reception part 24 of an information processor 12 receives voice data including utterance data of a speaker. A division part 25 divides the voice data to each utterance data. A giving part 26 attaches speaker identification information to the utterance data on the basis of an acoustic feature of the utterance data. A second reception part 28 receives from a user instruction information showing utterance data of a speaker name setting object in the utterance data included in the voice data. A generation part 30 generates a candidate list showing candidates for a speaker name set in utterance data specified by instruction information by the user on the basis of operation history information obtained by associating at least utterance identification information of the utterance data with the given speaker identification information, and with the speaker name set by the user for the utterance data specified by the utterance identification information.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processor for easily arranging the points of a talk, and for easily understanding both the flow of the talk and the points of the talk for shared data with conversation as contents. SOLUTION: This method for processing shared data has a function for sharing prescribed data by exchanging information with one or more information processors. The shared data are displayed in the first area of a display screen, and specific data are designated from among the data displayed in the first area, and classification attributes to be applied to the designated data are designated. Then, the designated data are made correspond to at least information for identifying the designated classification attributes and stored as classified data, and the stored classified data are classified for each classification attribute and displayed in the second area of the display screen.
Abstract:
