摘要:
According to one embodiment, a television apparatus includes a speech input unit, an indication input unit, a speech recognition unit, and a control unit. The speech input unit is configured to input a speech. The indication input unit is configured to input an indication to start speech recognition from a user. The speech recognition unit is configured to recognize the user's speech inputted after the indication is inputted. The control unit is configured to execute an operation command corresponding to a recognition result of the user's speech. The control unit, if a volume of the television apparatus at a timing when the indication is inputted is larger than or equal to a threshold, temporarily sets the volume to a value smaller than the threshold while the speech recognition unit is recognizing.

Hough transform is performed on the point groups forming two dimensional data to generate a plurality of loci respectively corresponding to each of the point groups in a Hough voting space. When adding a voting value to a position in the Hough voting space through which the plurality of loci passes, addition is performed by varying the voting value based on a level difference between first and second signals respectively indicated by the two pieces of frequency decomposition information.

A hyperbranched polymer synthesizing method employs living radical polymerization of a monomer in the presence of a metal catalyst. The method includes forming a shell portion by introducing an acid-decomposable group to a core portion formed of a hyperbranched polymer synthesized by living radical polymerization; forming an acid group by partially decomposing the acid-decomposable group by an acid catalyst; precipitating a core-shell hyperbranched polymer contained in a first solution and having the acid group, by mixing the first solution with ultrapure water; and extracting, from a mixed solution into an organic solvent by liquid-liquid extraction, the core-shell hyperbranched polymer having the acid group, wherein the mixed solution contains a second solution containing the core-shell hyperbranched polymer precipitated at the precipitating and dissolved into the organic solvent, and the ultrapure water of an amount yielding a prescribed ratio of the ultrapure water relative to the organic solvent in the second solution.

A transparent-film-forming composition contains at least one microparticle-form inorganic substance having a refractive index of 1.80 or higher and lower than 3.00 (ingredient A), at least one microparticle-form inorganic substance having a refractive index of 1.55 or higher and lower than 1.80 (ingredient B), and a binder having a refractive index lower than that of the ingredient B, and preferably, a dispersion stabilizer, and being capable of forming, on a surface of a transparent substrate, a transparent film having excellent transparency and free from interference-related disturbance. A transparent-film-layered product has a transparent substrate and, on a surface of the substrate, a transparent film formed from the composition, which layered product exhibits a difference in refractive index between the transparent substrate and the transparent film of 0.03 or smaller and excellent transparency, and providing minimized interference-related disturbance.

An interactive robot capable of speech recognition includes a sound-source-direction estimating unit that estimates a direction of a sound source for target voices which are required to undergo speech recognition; a moving unit that moves the interactive robot in the sound-source direction; a target-voice acquiring unit that acquires the target voices at a position after moving; and a speech recognizing unit that performs speech recognition of the target voices.
摘要:
A word coinciding with a key word input by speech and a word related to the word are set as retrieval candidate words based on a word dictionary in which words representing formal names and aliases of the formal names are registered in association with a family attribute indicating a familiar relation among the words. Content related to any one of retrieval words selected out of the retrieval candidate words and a word related to the retrieval word is retrieved.

A robot apparatus includes a moving unit configured to move in a moving plane on flooring, and turn in horizontal direction of the flooring about a rotation axis vertical to the flooring; an imaging unit configured to take images in a direction horizontal to the moving plane, and rotate in horizontal direction of the flooring about the rotation axis; a storage unit configured to store the image taken by the image processor when the moving unit receives a turning request of a command angle; a detector configured to detect a rotation angle of the imaging unit relative to the moving unit; a controller configured to control a turning of the moving unit and a rotating of the imaging unit based on a common value which makes the moving unit turn in a direction of the command angle and which makes the imaging unit rotate in an opposite direction, and based on a rate value which changes turning of the moving unit or rotating of the imaging unit so as to compensate a gap determined by comparing the taken image with the stored image; and a stop unit configured to stop the turning of the moving unit and the rotating of the imaging unit, when the command angle corresponds to the rotation angle detected by the detector.
摘要:
A security apparatus. A service is supplied to a user while maintaining the security of the service. A person discrimination section discriminates the user to be supplied the service. A user situation decision section decides whether the user is under a situation to use the service. An infringement situation decision section detects whether a non-user intrudes into a use area of the service in order to decide whether the security of the service is infringed. A service control section supplies the service to the user in case the person discrimination section discriminates the user, and controls a supply of the service if the use situation decision section decides the user is not under the situation to use the service or the infringement situation decision section decides that the security of the service is infringed.

An acoustic signal processing apparatus includes an acoustic signal input device, a frequency resolution device, a two-dimensional data generating device, a graphics detection device, a sound source candidate information generating device, and a sound source information generating device. The sound source information generating device generates sound source information including at least one of the number of sound sources, the spatial existence range of the sound source, an existence period of the voice, a frequency component configuration of the voice, amplitude information on the voice, and symbolic contents of the voice based on the sound source candidate information and corresponding information which are generated by the sound source candidate information generating device.
摘要:
A frequency decomposer analyzes two amplitude data input from microphones to an acoustic signal input unit, and a two-dimensional data forming unit obtains a phase difference between the two amplitude data for each frequency. This phase difference for each frequency is given two-dimensional coordinate values to form two-dimensional data. A figure detector analyzes the generated two-dimensional data on an X-Y plane to detect a figure. A sound source information generator processes information of the detected figure to generate sound source information containing the number of sound sources as generation sources of acoustic signals, the spatial existing range of each sound source, the temporal existing period of a sound generated by each sound source, the components of each source sound, a separated sound of each sound source, and the symbolic contents of each source sound.
