Abstract: A data collection system includes: an alternativity determination unit determining whether or not data has alternativity, allowing replacement of the data with alternative data when a data necessity inquiry transmitted from an in-vehicle terminal is received by a center-side reception unit; and a center-side transmission unit (i) transmitting a discard notice back to the in-vehicle terminal that has transmitted the data necessity inquiry, and letting the in-vehicle terminal to discard the data based on a determination by the alternativity determination unit that the data has alternativity, and (ii) transmitting a keeping notice back to the in-vehicle terminal that has transmitted the data necessity inquiry, and letting the in-vehicle terminal to keep the data based on a determination by the alternativity determination unit that the data has no alternativity.

Abstract: An in-vehicle terminal includes: a communication unit; a necessity determination unit; a basic life determination unit that determines a life of data; a life correction unit that corrects the basic life determined by the basic life determination unit according to factors presumed to affect data fluctuations/data change; and a transmission determination unit that determines a transmission order of the data by the data transmission unit based on (i) the transmission necessity of the data determined by the necessity determination unit and (ii) a post-correction life corrected by the life correction unit, in a manner that (a) data having the higher transmission necessity and/or the shorter post-correction life has an earlier transmission order while (b) data having the lower transmission necessity and/or the longer post-correction life has a later transmission order.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a control processor that causes playback of a selected content on a first display screen. The control processor also receives a request to play back the selected content on a second display screen, and requests playback of the selected content on the second display screen. The control processor then continues playback of the selected content on the first display screen after the request to play back the content on the second display screen is received, and automatically stops playback of the selected content on the first display screen during playback of the selected content on the second screen.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus including a structure analysis unit that analyses display control data including multiple structural units, in each of which information relating to display control is written, and extracts the structural units included in the display control data, a first structuring unit that generates first structured data for display control by linking, except for a structural unit in which information involving script processing is written, the structural units including at least a structural unit in which information relating to a layout of a display screen is written, among the extracted structural units, a second structuring unit that generates second structured data for display control by linking all of the extracted structural units, and a display control unit that displays a display screen using the first structured data, and, at a stage the second structured data is generated, redisplays the display screen using the second structured data.

Abstract: Provided is a data acquisition method including the steps of selecting a link destination whose display is at least partially located in a region of a display screen corresponding to an operating tool, acquiring, before the link destination is selected, information relating to a layout of a display screen and display control data including at least a structural unit in which the information is written, the display control data and the information existing at the link destination, extracting structural units included in the display control data, in a case the prefetched link destination is selected, generating first structured data by linking the extracted structural units in which information involving script-process isn't written, generating second structured data by linking the extracted structural units, displaying a display screen using the first structured data, and redisplaying, at a stage the second structured data is generated, the display screen using the second structured data.

Abstract: Provided is a data acquisition method including the steps of selecting one or more of at least one link destination, acquiring, before the link destination is selected, display control data including at least a structural unit in which information relating to a layout of a display screen is written, the display control data existing at the link destination selected in the previous step, extracting structural units included in the display control data before the prefetched link destination is selected, generating, before the prefetched link destination is selected, first structured data for display control by linking the extracted structural units in which information involving script processing is not written, generating, in a case the prefetched link destination is selected, second structured data for display control by linking the structural units, displaying a display screen using the first structured data, and redisplaying the display screen using the second structured data.

Abstract: A voice response system attempts to respond to spoken user input and to provide computer-generated responses. If the system decides it cannot provide valid responses, the current state of user session is determined and forwarded to a human operator for further action. The system maintains a recorded history of the session in the form of a dialog history log. The dialog history and information as to the reliability of past speech recognition efforts is employed in making the current state determination. The system includes formatting rules for controlling the display of information presented to the human operator.

Abstract: When a user issued voice command does not match grammars registered in advance, the voice command is identified as a sentence (step S305). This sentence is compared with the registered grammars to calculate a similarity (step S307). When the similarity is higher than a first threshold value (TH1), the voice command is executed (step S315). When the similarity is equal to or lower than the first threshold value (TH1) and higher than a second threshold value (TH2), command choices are displayed for the user and the user is permitted to select a command to be executed (step S319). When the similarity is equal to or lower than the second threshold value (TH2), the command is not executed (step S321). Furthermore, once a command has been executed it is added as a grammar, so that it can be identified when next it is used.
