  • Patent number: 9277051
    Abstract: A service server apparatus is provided which can easily cope with a correction of an error of a task performed based on the content of verbal speeches of a speaker. The service server apparatus includes a service activating unit that receives an instruction for performing a different task from a task performed by an application relating to a speech communication, a telephone/call control enabler that records verbal speeches of the speaker during a speech communication between a plurality of speech communication terminal device, a speech recognizing enabler which performs a task based on the recorded speeches and which generates task data including text data representing the result of the performance and speech data representing the result of the performance, a text translating enabler, and a speech synthesizing enabler.

  • Patent number: 9110888
    Abstract: A service server apparatus is provided which can realize a service as if a speaker has a conversation in a face-to-face manner using existing applications. The service server apparatus includes a service activating unit receiving an instruction for performing a task during a communication, a telephone/call control unit recording a call speech of the speaker during the communication between speech communication terminal devices, a speech recognizing enabler, a text translating enabler, and a speech synthesizing enabler performing the task based on the recorded call speech when the instruction is received, and a communication control enabler providing task data obtained through an performance of the task to the speech communication terminal device. The task data is text data obtained by converting the call speech into a text, translated text data obtained by translating the text data into another language, and speech data obtained by converting the translated text data into a speech.

  • Patent number: 8566478
    Abstract: Information transmission requests are delivered to communication terminals existing in a specific area, to collect information held in the communication terminals, without inducing congestion. In an information collecting device included in an information collecting system, terminal information and capacity information are acquired based on base station identifying information, and information of an information amount of collected information is further acquired based on a collected information type that identifies a type of the collected information. In an information collection controlling unit, transmission timing information, designating the timing at which a capacity of performing communication via a base station is not exceeded, is generated based on the terminal information, the information-amount information and the capacity information, and an information transmission request including the transmission timing information is delivered to a communication terminal.

  • Publication number: 20110207464
    Abstract: There are provided a call control system, a call controller, a terminal device, and a call control method capable of selecting an optimum communication network without overly complicating the configuration of the terminal device and the call controller. A call controller accesses information representing present conditions including a failure of a communication network held in a communication network present condition data holding unit, and information held in an applicable priority order data holding unit on the terminal device and which is information of the priority order for communication network selection acquired and held in the call-originating side information acquiring and holding unit on the call controller side. A call control unit on the call controller side selects an optimum communication network for setting up a call.
