  • Patent number: 7406420
    Abstract: A data input device has an input part for inputting data and an output part for outputting a message for prompting a data input operation. The data input device has a text data input part for inputting text data, a voice data input part for inputting voice data, an input item storage part for storing an item to be inputted, and an input control part for selecting one of the text data input part and the voice data input part in accordance with the characteristics of the item to be inputted which is stored in the input item storage part.

  • Publication number: 20040174981
    Abstract: According to the invention, it is possible that a plurality of terminals participate in interaction processing without imposing limitations such as presence or absence of pre-registration and a kind of a terminal. Further, even if the interaction processing is disconnected halfway through a task, it is possible to resume the interaction processing from a status in which disconnection has occurred. While ContextID for identifying the interaction processing and StateID for indicating a degree of progress of the interaction processing are stored in a ContextID database 6, ContextID and StateID are transmitted to the terminal. Then, in the case where the same ContextID is received from another terminal, another terminal is caused to participate in the ongoing interaction processing halfway through a task. Further, the interaction processing is caused to be resumed from the point, in which the interaction processing is interrupted, by referring to StateID.

  • Publication number: 20040054819
    Abstract: When a user inputs data to a device having a plurality of data input units such as a text data input unit, e.g., a keyboard, a screen or the like and a voice data input unit, e.g., a microphone or the like, an optimal input method is automatically selected and provided to the user in accordance with an item of the data to be inputted by the user. A data input method selects an optimal input unit for the user from the text data input unit and the voice data input unit to control a data input operation in accordance with information such as the type of an item of data to be inputted, a data amount, an ambient noise state, a recognition result at the time of inputting data with voice, and the like.

  • Publication number: 20040010409
    Abstract: There are provided a voice recognition system, a device, a voice recognition method, a voice recognition program and a computer-readable recording medium in which the audio recognition program is recorded in order to be able to implement at least one of audio recognition above vocabulary processed by one device and retention of appropriate vocabulary stored in one device. Audio data received by a client are recognized by an audio recognition engine and when its recognition result is rejected, the audio data is transmitted to a server and the recognition result in the server is transmitted to the client. The client updates a recognition dictionary according to the number of recognitions and integrates the recognition results in a result integration part. The client may be used instead of the server.

  • Patent number: 6661906
    Abstract: An image creating apparatus for creating plural kinds of images which are different in each image class about brushwork and expression based on data of a single image, which includes a face component library (11) and a rule library (12). The face component library (11) is composed of image libraries (11a to 11g) of the respective face components such as eyes, noses, mouths and so forth each of which stores a plurality of image groups of the respective face components having different image elements in each of image classes “i=1 to n”. An eye image library 11a stores an image group composed by a plurality of eye images having different image elements about slant and roundness for each image class. The image elements are an item for measurement about character quantities extracted from the entered image data.

  • Publication number: 20030182129
    Abstract: It is an object to carry out an operation in a voice by using a voice recognition, a contact input, a voice output and a screen display together by means of a terminal having a low performance. A dialog system is constituted to have a voice device (3) for transmitting voice information, a screen device (8) for transmitting screen information and a dialog control device (7) for transmitting/receiving information to/from the devices (3) and (8). The devices (3), (7) and (8) are connected to a public circuit switched network (1) and a network (4), respectively. A voice terminal (2) is connected to the circuit (1) and a screen terminal (5) is connected to the network (4) so that a communication can be carried out between the terminal (2) and the device (3) and between the terminal (5) and the device (8), and the mutual communication of the devices (3) and (8) is controlled by the dialog control device (7).
