  • Publication number: 20100063965
    Abstract: To provide a content processing technique which enables to prevent a reading person from easily guessing the fact of hiding and hidden information, and to obtain a content having natural information close to information of its original content before hiding. A content processor includes a search means which searches contents having information similar to a part excluding a part to be hidden in the original content, an arithmetic means which calculates non-similarity which shows the degree of non-similarity of each content obtained by the search means to the part to be hidden of the contend, and a selection means which selects the content which is the least similar to the part to be hidden out of the contents searched by the search means.

  • Publication number: 20090313233
    Abstract: An inspiration support apparatus includes: a text database that stores a plurality of texts; a text mining section that analyzes the plurality of texts stored in the text database by text mining, and outputs a text that is a result of the mining; a keyword set database that stores conversion keywords; a keyword extraction section that extracts a keyword from the text that is the result of the mining by using the conversion keywords stored in the keyword set database; a keyword conversion section that converts, with respect to the text that is the result of the mining, the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction section in the text into one of the conversion keywords stored in the keyword set database; and a result output section that outputs the text converted by the keyword conversion section.

  • Publication number: 20090287488
    Abstract: A text display in which speech information can be effectively conveyed in a text to the user. The text display comprises a speech input section (101) for inputting a speech, a storage section (130) in which a recognition dictionary for converting the speech information into a text is stored, an output section (105) for displaying the text, and a control section (120) for recognizing a word or a word line corresponding to a speech with reference to the recognition dictionary upon input of the speech and obtaining the result of the recognition including the word or the word line and its importance, computing the display time during which the result of the recognition is displayed in response to the importance, and allowing the output section to display the result of the recognition more than the computed display time.

  • Publication number: 20070027693
    Abstract: A voice recognition system has a recognition dictionary storing voice information, a primary voice recognition means for performing primary voice recognition in response to input voice information pronounced by a user by the use of the recognition dictionary, and a recognition result judging means for deciding whether the primary voice recognition result is to be accepted or rejected. The voice recognition system includes a transceiver means for sending the input voice information of the user to an additional voice recognition means when the primary voice recognition result is rejected by the recognition result decision means and for receiving a secondary voice recognition result produced as a result of secondary voice recognition of the additional voice recognition means, and a recognition result output means for outputting the primary or secondary voice recognition result to an exterior of the voice recognition system.
