Abstract: A graphic display control device comprising: a data acquisition unit that acquires an utterance content of a speaker as text data; a search information extraction unit that extracts search information to be used for searching, from the text data acquired by the data acquisition unit; a graphic selection unit that selects, from a database, a graphic corresponding to the search information extracted by the search information extraction unit; and an output function unit that performs processing for presenting the graphic selected by the graphic selection unit, on a graphic recording result.

Abstract: A layout method to be executed by a computer includes generating multiple pieces of second text data using a change in a topic in first text data generated by speech recognition for a speech of a dialogue as a separator, acquiring multiple trajectories drawn in accordance with the dialogue, dividing the trajectories into multiple groups on the basis of drawn positions of the respective trajectories, associating, for each of the groups, the second text data related to drawn content indicated by a group with the group and integrating groups associated with common second text data into one group, and outputting, in response to a layout change instruction by a user, each group subjected to the associating, in a layout in accordance with the layout change instruction.

Abstract: A computer executes a character information acquisition procedure of acquiring, for each utterance in a dialogue, character information indicating content of the utterance and information indicating timing at which the utterance is made, a picture area information acquisition procedure of acquiring information indicating an area of a picture drawn during the dialogue and information indicating timing at which the picture is drawn, and an association procedure of specifying the character information to be associated with the area, based on the timing at which the picture is drawn and the timing at which the utterance is made, thereby reducing a burden of assigning character information to drawing content.

Abstract: A processing device includes an acquisition unit that acquires an instruction to specify a conscious behavior of a target that reproduces a behavior of a user, a determination unit that determines a parameter for reproducing an unconscious behavior corresponding to the conscious behavior specified by the instruction from unconscious parameter data in which an identifier of a conscious behavior of the user, an identifier of an unconscious behavior in the conscious behavior, and an index for specifying a parameter for reproducing the unconscious behavior are associated with each other, and an output unit that outputs a determined parameter to a drive unit TD of the target T, in which a parameter for reproducing the unconscious behavior varies depending on the conscious behavior.

Abstract: A transmission device used on a receiver side in a communication system for communication between a talker and a receiver includes a processing unit that processes voice data obtained from speech of the talker to generate information data corresponding to the voice data, a pseudo video generation unit that generates pseudo video data having a playback time length corresponding to a length of a delay time caused by the processing unit, and a transmission unit that transmits the pseudo video data to the receiver side and then transmits video data during the speech of the talker and the information data to the receiver side.

Abstract: A dialog assistance apparatus facilitates a dialog by including a first estimation unit that estimates, with respect to a field related to speech content of a first speaker, a knowledge level of a second speaker having a dialog with the first speaker, an acquisition unit that acquires, from a storage unit that stores a question in association with a keyword and the knowledge level, a question corresponding to a keyword included in the speech content and corresponding to the knowledge level of the second speaker, and an output unit that outputs the acquired question to the first speaker.
