Abstract: A video signal processing device includes a selection/output unit that receives a video signal, sequentially selects and outputs a sequence of image data pieces of split image regions, a CRC calculation circuit that executes CRC calculation on a sequence of pixel data pieces outputted from the selection/output unit, a calculation result sorting unit that generates test values corresponding to the split image regions based on a CRC calculation result, a freeze determination unit that, based on the test values corresponding to one frame and the test values corresponding to another frame, determines whether a change has occurred in the video of the split image regions between the frames, and a video freeze detection unit that, by determining whether or not a state where no change has occurred in the video is continuing over a prescribed number of frame periods, detects whether or not the video is frozen.

Abstract: Annoyance is reduced that is caused to a subject person from which information is collected.

Abstract: Interaction response promptness is ensured in a hybrid voice interaction system. A voice interaction terminal includes a keyword recognition unit which recognizes a predetermined keyword from a voice uttered by a user and a response sentence generation unit which generates a first response sentence on the basis of the keyword. A voice interaction server includes a voice recognition unit which recognizes voice data sent from the voice interaction terminal and an interaction management unit which generates a second response sentence on the basis of a voice recognition result and manages the keyword to be recognized by the keyword recognition unit on the basis of a predetermined interaction scenario. The hybrid voice interaction system further includes an output unit which outputs the first response sentence generated by the response sentence generation unit or the second response sentence sent from the voice interaction server.

Abstract: To safely stop a system even when an abnormality occurs in a power supply for a control circuit, a semiconductor device includes a control circuit, a first power supply that outputs a first voltage to be supplied to the control circuit as a power-supply voltage, a first voltage monitoring circuit that determines whether the first voltage is abnormal, a first switch that is coupled to the first power supply and the control circuit, and cuts off supply of the first voltage to the control circuit when it is determined that the first voltage is abnormal, and a power-supply switching circuit that is coupled to the control circuit and a second power supply, which outputs a second voltage to be supplied to a circuit to which power supply is supplied other than the control circuit as a power-supply voltage, and supplies the second voltage to the control circuit in a state where the supply of the first voltage to the control circuit is cut off.
