Abstract: To enable use of content data recorded in an arbitrary player using a mobile terminal, such as a cellular phone, in response to an inquiry made by a mobile terminal to a player, the player transmits a response to the mobile terminal. When a user performs a predetermined operation on the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal creates a one-time password and transmits the one-time password and operation information concerning the user-performed operation to the player. The player transmits a terminal ID and the like to a service center. Upon reception of the information, the service center creates a one-time password and transmits the one-time password and an operation permission command to the player. The player compares the transmitted password with the password created by the mobile terminal. When the passwords are verified, the user operation instruction is made valid.

The user unit compares the two one-time passwords. When the two one-time passwords match each other, the user-requested operation (playback) is executed.

Abstract: To provide an acoustic model which can absorb the fluctuation of a phonemic environment in an interval longer than a syllable, with the number of parameters of the acoustic model suppressed to be small, a phoneme-connected syllable HMM/syllable-connected HMM set is generated in such a way that a phoneme-connected syllable HMM set corresponding to individual syllables is generated by combining phoneme HMMs. A preliminary experiment is conducted using the phoneme-connected syllable HMM set and training speech data. Any misrecognized syllable and the preceding syllable of the misrecognized syllable are checked using results of a preliminary experiment syllable label data. The combination between a correct answer syllable for the misrecognized syllable and the preceding syllable of the misrecognized syllable is extracted as a syllable connection. A syllable-connected HMM corresponding to this syllable connection is added into the phoneme-connected syllable HMM set.
