  • Patent number: 11694675
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus that includes a voice recognition section that executes a voice recognition process on a user speech and a learning processing section that executes a process of updating a degree of confidence on the basis of an interaction made between a user and the information processing apparatus after the user speech. The degree of confidence is an evaluation value indicating the reliability of a voice recognition result of the user speech. The voice recognition section generates data on degrees of confidence in recognition of the user speech in which data plural user speech candidates based on the voice recognition result of the user speech are associated with the degrees of confidence which are evaluation values each indicating reliability of the corresponding user speech candidate.

  • Publication number: 20230132045
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing device, an information processing method, and a recording medium capable of suppressing a decrease in visibility of a display image in a case where a user's line of sight moves at a high speed. An information processing device (1) according to the present disclosure includes a resolution control unit (14). The resolution control unit (14) sets a high-resolution region including a gaze point of a user and a low-resolution region not including the gaze point of the user to a display image displayed by a display device and temporarily expands the high-resolution region toward a virtual object in a case where the virtual object enters the high-resolution region.

  • Publication number: 20220327787
    Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing device, method, and program capable of more easily displaying an AR object at an accurate position. The information processing device includes: a first self-position estimation unit that performs a first self-position estimation on the basis of an environment image whose subjects are surroundings of the information processing device; and a second self-position estimation unit that performs a second self-position estimation on the basis of a detection plane detected from the environment image and object information generated in advance and related to a shielding AR object having a planar shape to correct a display position of a non-shielding AR object according to a result of the first self-position estimation on the basis of a result of the second self-position estimation. The present technology can be applied to an AR device.

  • Publication number: 20210005177
    Abstract: Implemented are an apparatus and a method for detecting misrecognition of a user speech on the basis of a subsequent interaction. The apparatus includes a voice recognition section that executes a voice recognition process on a user speech and a learning processing section that executes a process of updating a degree of confidence on the basis of an interaction made between a user and the information processing apparatus after the user speech. The degree of confidence is an evaluation value indicating the reliability of a voice recognition result of the user speech. The voice recognition section generates data on degrees of confidence in recognition of the user speech in which data plural user speech candidates based on the voice recognition result of the user speech are associated with the degrees of confidence which are evaluation values each indicating reliability of the corresponding user speech candidate.

  • Publication number: 20170204958
    Abstract: A drive plate having a plate portion and a ring portion is shaped integrally by pressing using dies. The ring gear portion has inner recessed portions positioned on the inner side of a plurality of outer teeth. The inner peripheral surface of each of the inner recessed portions includes an inner bottom surface having a pair of curved corner surfaces, a pair of first side surfaces inclined so as to become closer to each other as the first side surfaces extend from the opening end of the inner recessed portion toward the inner bottom surface, and a pair of second side surfaces formed in a band shape between the corner surfaces and the first side surfaces. The degree of inclination of the second side surfaces with respect to a center line is smaller than the degree of inclination of the first side surfaces with respect to the center line.
