Publication number: 20160241613Abstract: Provided is a method for controlling information shared in a virtual world by a server and a plurality of users' client terminals connected to each other through a network. In this information control method, a computer creates a third object between a first object and a second object in the virtual world when the first object and second object transmit communication information therebetween, and filters the information with the third object. In addition, when an object transmits visual information, the third object can be created around the object transmitting the visual information. The third object can be created as a pseudo wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2016Publication date: August 18, 2016Inventors: SEIYA HAYANO, SHINJI IIZUKA, TOSHITAKA IMAI, KOHTAROH MIYAMOTO

Patent number: 8364463Abstract: A mechanism is provided for optimizing a language/media translation map. A user input is received comprising an input language/media selection, one or more output languages/medias selections, and a threshold for at least one of accuracy or throughput of one or more requested language/media translations. For each of the one or more requested language media translations, a determination is made as to whether an accuracy or throughput of a selected one of an automated translation system or a human resource translator is above the threshold for the at least one of accuracy or throughput. Responsive to the accuracy or throughput being above the threshold, either the selected one of the automated translation system or the selected one of the human resource translator is added to a multiple language/media translation map. An optimized multiple language/media translation map is then generated for use by a translation orchestration module in the data processing system.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2009Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kohtaroh Miyamoto, Ali Sobhi

Patent number: 8311832Abstract: A hybrid-captioning system for editing captions for spoken utterances within video includes an editor-type caption-editing subsystem, a line-based caption-editing subsystem, and a mechanism. The editor-type subsystem is that in which captions are edited for spoken utterances within the video on a groups-of-line basis without respect to particular lines of the captions and without respect to temporal positioning of the captions in relation to the spoken utterances. The line-based subsystem is that in which captions are edited for spoken utterances within the video on a line-by-line basis with respect to particular lines of the captions and with respect to temporal positioning of the captions in relation to the spoken utterances. For each section of spoken utterances within the video, the mechanism is to select the editor-type or the line-based subsystem to provide captions for the section of spoken utterances in accordance with a predetermined criteria.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2008Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kohtaroh Miyamoto, Noriko Negishi, Kenichi Arakawa

Patent number: 8275614Abstract: A support device, program and support method for supporting generation of text from speech data. The support device includes a confirmed rate calculator, a candidate obtaining unit and a selector. The confirmed rate calculator calculates a confirmed utterance rate which is an utterance rate of a confirmed part having already-confirmed text in the speech data. The candidate obtaining unit obtains multiple candidate character strings resulting from a speech recognition of an unconfirmed part having unconfirmed text in the speech data. The selector preferentially selects, from among the plurality of candidate character strings, a candidate character string whose utterance time consumed in uttering the candidate character string at the confirmed utterance rate is closest to an utterance time of the unconfirmed part of the speech data.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2009Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kohtaroh Miyamoto, Takashi Saitoh
