摘要:
The present invention provides a music artist retrieval system which makes it possible for users to automatically retrieve an unknown music artist similar to the user's favorite artist while actually reproducing and confirming a piece of music of the unknown artist. A music artist similarity map storing section (13) computes a plurality of similarities for a plurality of music artists and makes a music artist similarity map for the plurality of music artists based on the plurality of similarities, then stores the music artist similarity map. Here, the similarities are computed between one of the plurality of music artists and the other music artists based on features of the respective music artists. A similar artists selecting and displaying section (17) displays on a display plurality of indications related to one music artist and two or more music artists whose similarities are close to the one music artist, based on the music artist similarity map. A music data playing section (19) reproduces music data of a music artist related to a selected artist indication when a play command is inputted.

An automatic system for temporal alignment between a music audio signal and lyrics is provided. The automatic system can prevent accuracy for temporal alignment from being lowered due to the influence of non-vocal sections. Alignment means of the system is provided with a phone model for singing voice that estimates phonemes corresponding to temporal-alignment features or features available for temporal alignment. The alignment means receives temporal-alignment features outputted from temporal-alignment feature extraction means, information on the vocal and non-vocal sections outputted from vocal section estimation means, and a phoneme network, and performs an alignment operation on condition that no phoneme exists at least in non-vocal sections.

A pitch-estimation method, a pitch-estimation system, and a pitch-estimation program are provided, which estimate a weight of a probability density function of a fundamental frequency and relative amplitude of a harmonic component through fewer computations than ever. In the improved pitch-estimation method, 1200 log2 h and exp[−(x−(F+1200 log2 h))2/2W2] in the following expression are computed in advance and then stored in a memory of a computer: c ′ ( t ) ( h ❘ F , m ) 1 2 π W 2 exp ( - ( x - ( F + 1200 log 2 h ) ) 2 2 W 2 ) ( 61 ) The above expression is computed only with respect to a fundamental frequency F wherein x−(F+1200 log2 h) is close to zero. With this arrangement, computations to be performed may considerably be reduced, and computing time may accordingly be shortened.

A speech recognition system in which a user may correct a recognition error resulting from speech recognition more efficiently and easily. Speech recognition means compares a plurality of words inputted from speech input means with a plurality of words stored in dictionary means, respectively, and determines a most-competitive word candidate. Word correction means has a word correction function of correcting the words constituting a word sequence displayed on a screen. Competitive word display commanding means selects one or more competitive words having competitive probabilities close to the competitive probability of the most-competitive word candidate and displays the one or more competitive words adjacent to the most-competitive word candidate. Competitive word selection means selects an appropriate correction word from the one or more competitive words. Word replacement commanding means causes one of the most-competitive word candidate to be replaced with the correction word selected by the competitive word selection means.

A mobile IP communication scheme in which the mobile computer can be operated using the mobile communication protocol such as Mobile IP even in the case where the home network is operated by the dynamic address allocation protocol such as DHCP is disclosed. The current location registration message to be transmitted by the mobile computer from the visited site to the mobile computer management device contains an information indicating that the dynamic address allocation has been received at the home network and an information capable of identifying the mobile computer, and the mobile computer management device carries out exchanges with the dynamic address management server on behalf of the mobile computer, so that the mobile computer which has received the dynamic address allocation at the home network can be operated at the visited site by using the mobile communication protocol.

A controller of a base station supervises radio communication between the base station and a plurality of personal stations of which a respective one has preset functions of which a description data is stored in a registering section of the base station so that, when an arbitrary personal station is operated into an off-hook state in response to a call it has received from a call sending station, the controller reads the description data of the functions of the personal station in the off-hook state and sends the read data to the call sending station, where it is processed to display a description of the functions before sending back a message of a complete display to the base station, where the controller responds thereto for connecting the personal station in the off-hook state for a talk with the call sending station.
摘要:
Idle frames are transmitted from first and second nodes of ring network in response to a first link failure, and protection switching is performed to form a first loop between the first and second nodes via at least a third node on receiving idle frames and Bridged & Switched frames are transmitted to the first loop. At the third node, AU (administrative unit) squelching is performed in response to a second link failure in the first loop, and protection switching is performed at the third node to form a second loop between the second and third nodes, and VT squelch is performed at the third node and busy indication frames are sent from the third node to the second node until the VT (virtual tributary) squelch is completed. From the third node to the second node, Bridged & Switched frames are transmitted and the AU squelch is cleared upon completion of the VT squelch. At the second node, AU squelching is performed in response to the busy indication frames from the third node, and AT squelch is cleared in response to the Bridged & Switched frames from the third node. Alternatively, the third node performs AU squelching in response to the second link failure and performs protection switching to form a second loop between the first and third nodes, and transmits Bridged & Switched frames to the first node. In response, the first node performs AU squelching, performs VT squelching and transmits busy indication frames to the third node until VT squelching is completed, and dears the AU squelch upon completion of the VT squelching. The third node responds to the Bridged & Switched frames from the first node for clearing the AU squelch.
