Patent number: 8306823Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2008Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Masayuki Okamoto, Naoki Iketani, Hideo Umeki, Sogo Tsuboi, Kenta Cho, Keisuke Nishimura, Masanori Hattori

Patent number: 7995074Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2006Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Masayuki Okamoto, Hideo Umeki, Kenta Cho, Yuzo Okamoto, Naoki Iketani
