A signal processing apparatus includes: an audio separator that separates audios into a first audio and a second audio using two inputted audio signals; an audio combiner that combines the first audio with the second audio based on proportions of the audios separated by the audio separator; and an image combiner that combines a first image corresponding to the first audio with a second image corresponding to the second audio based on the proportions of the audios separated by the audio separator.

A voice processing apparatus includes a band dividing portion dividing a first voice signal generated by a first microphone and a second voice signal generated by a second microphone into predetermined frequency bands, a sound source segregating portion segregating an echo component of a voice emitted by a first sound source included in a voice emitted by a second sound source in each of the predetermined frequency bands based on the power of the first and second microphones, and a band synthesis portion synthesizing the first and second voice signals from which the echo component of the first sound source has been segregated by the sound source segregating portion into a voice signal including the voice emitted by the first sound source and a voice signal including the echo component of the first sound source.

A setting window that is displayed when a mail tab is selected includes check boxes for selecting items to read when an electronic mail is read, and a check box and a drop-down list box for setting automatic checking of electronic mails. Contents corresponding to checked boxes among the check boxes are converted into speech data. Furthermore, the contents corresponding to the checked boxes among the check boxes, except for the body of the electronic mail, are used for generating a title to be added when the speech data is output to an external apparatus, etc. If none of the check boxes is checked, a predetermined character string is set as a title.

A recording medium drive allows a latch stop member to receive a latch member. The swinging movement around a rotation shaft causes the latch member to enter the movement path of a head actuator member. The latch member thus engages with the head actuator member. The latch member has the portion in contact with the latch stop member. The portion is made of a material different from the main portion of the latch member. The repulsive coefficient can be adjusted between the portion and the latch stop member. An identical condition can be established for transmission of an impact between the head actuator member and the actuator stop member as well as between the latch member and the latch stop member. Even if impacts of different duration act on the recording medium drive, the latch member is allowed to reliably engage with the head actuator member.

A head actuator member is supported on a support shaft for swinging movement. A voice coil motor is connected to the head actuator member. A protuberance is formed on the head actuator member. The protuberance moves along a predetermined movement path around the support shaft. A latch member is supported on a rotation shaft for swinging movement to reach an operative position established on the movement path of the protuberance. The latch member engages with the protuberance at the operative position. A magnetic body on the latch member receives a magnetic attraction of the voice coil motor when the latch member is located at the operative position. The latch member is forced to stay at the operative position. Even if the head actuator member starts swinging later than the swinging movement of the latch member, the latch member reliably engages with the protuberance on the head actuator member.

A microphone apparatus for processing and outputting an output signal of a microphone array including at least nine microphones includes a directivity function processing circuit that converts the output signal of the microphone array into a unidirectional signal and that outputs the unidirectional signal. The directivity function processing circuit expands a directivity function whose variable is an incident angle of an acoustic wave into a Fourier series up to at least third order. The variable in the expanded expression is produced from output signals of the microphones forming the microphone array.

Two types of voice can be set for reading text data of an electronic mail. A user selects a detailed setting button associated with one of the voice types to display a voice setting window, in which setting for the voice can be made individually. A drop-down list box include preset voice types such as woman, man, child, robot, and alien, and also names of voice types corresponding to phonemes created by the user, allowing selection thereof. In relation to a voice selected from the drop-down list box, reading speed, voice pitch, and strength of stress are set according to positions of setting levers.

The invention provides a communication apparatus, a communication method and a program storage medium. The communication apparatus includes a word-generating means for recognizing a voice and generating a first word and a second word, which correspond to the voice, a word-collating means for collating the first word generated by the word-generating means with pieces of information on a communication destination stored in advance and outputting a specific piece of information on a communication destination corresponding to the first word, a program-activating means for confirming the fact that the second word generated by the word-generating means is a predetermined word and activating a communication program corresponding to the predetermined word, and a communication-destination-setting means for adopting the specific piece of information on a communication destination output by the word-collating means as information on a communication destination of the communication program activated by the program-activating means. In the communication apparatus, data for identifying a communication partner can be set with ease.
摘要:
A first magnetic substance and a second magnetic substance are arranged opposite to each other with a gap left therebetween; a holding member being arranged in the gap; a magnetic field generator being secured to the holding member; the generator being arranged adjacent to the first magnetic substance or the second magnetic substance, thereby increasing an magnetic attraction generated by a magnetic force between the generator and the first magnetic substance or the second magnetic substance. A slide between a sliding portion of a supporting member and that of the holding member is permitted only on the magnetic substance side to which the magnetic field generator stands close, which relaxes the requirements of dimensional accuracy such as the height of the holding member.

In an information processing apparatus, a portable device, an electronic pet apparatus, recording medium storing information processing procedures and an information processing method, various kinds of data is transmitted via a network, and in addition, words can be catalogued via voice. Further, various responses are made in accordance with user authentication, voice inputs and responses are classified into categories which are used as a basis for generating a response. Furthermore, the emotion of the electronic pet can be changed on the basis of a past history.
