  • Patent number: 8306823
    Abstract: A speech receiving unit receives a user ID, a speech obtained at a terminal, and an utterance duration, from the terminal. A proximity determining unit calculates a correlation value expressing a correlation between speeches received from plural terminals, compares the correlation value with a first threshold value, and determines that the plural terminals that receive the speeches whose correlation value is calculated are close to each other, when the correlation value is larger than the first threshold value. A dialog detecting unit determines whether a relationship between the utterance durations received from the plural terminals that are determined to be close to each other within an arbitrarily target period during which a dialog is to be detected fits a rule. When the relationship is determined to fit the rule, the dialog detecting unit detects dialog information containing the target period and the user ID.

  • Patent number: 7995074
    Abstract: External data acquired via an input device during display of presentation information on a display device is recorded, and feature amounts are calculated from the external data. An importance level is calculated by integrating the feature amounts for each section during the display period of the presentation information. First headline information of a part of the presentation information corresponding to a section having an importance level which exceeds a predetermined threshold is generated, and is presented to be aligned along the time axis. Previous display contents of the presentation information are searched for in response to a selection operation of the first headline information, and are displayed on the display device. Second headline information of a part of the presentation information corresponding to the section when the selection operation was made is generated, and is presented on the display device.

  • Publication number: 20090248679
    Abstract: An information device and an information presentation method are disclosed. The neighboring environment in which a device is located or the behavior of the device user is recognized based on sensor data thereby to determine the situation data. The plural object information are acquired in accordance with the situation data. Plural related words related to the plural object information are retrieved from a database and thereby developed. Plural related words are displayed to permit any one of them to be selected. Once one of the related words is selected, the object information is reduced to only the one for the related word, and any one of the object information is displayed in a selectable manner.
