摘要:
This hearing aid comprises a microphone (101) and an external input terminal (102), a hearing aid processor (150) to which audio signals from the microphone (101) and the external input terminal (102) are inputted, and a receiver (113) to which audio signals that have undergone hearing aid processing by this hearing aid processor (150) are outputted. The hearing aid processor (150) has a mixer (112) that mixes audio signals from the microphone (101) with audio signals from the external input terminal (102) and outputs these audio signals to the receiver (113), a mix ratio determination unit (111) for determining the mix ratio between audio signals from the microphone (101) and audio signals from the external input terminal (102) in this mixer (112), and a facial movement detector (110) that is connected to this mix ratio determination unit (111).

In a hearing aid (100), a control device (4) comprises a transmission characteristic calculator (18), a correction characteristic calculator (21), and a correction component (17). The transmission characteristic calculator (18) calculates an at-fitting transmission characteristic Gf (ω) on the basis of correction-use sound data and first sound data produced by collection at an ear canal microphone (10) of correction-use sound outputted from a receiver (3) during fitting. The transmission characteristic calculator (18) calculates an in-usage transmission characteristic Gu (ω) on the basis of correction-use sound data and third sound data produced by collection at the ear canal microphone (10) of correction-use sound outputted from the receiver (3) according to user operation after fitting. The correction characteristic calculator (21) calculates a correction characteristic H (ω) on the basis of the at-fitting transmission characteristic Gf (ω) and the in-usage transmission characteristic Gu (ω). The correction component (17) corrects input sound data that has undergone hearing aid processing by a hearing aid processor (16) on the basis of the correction characteristic H (ω).

A user support device which accurately judges that a user is in a confused state and supports the user is provided. The user support device includes: a confused state judging unit which judges whether the user is in a confused state or not based on a tendency of variation in dwell time on which a decision making time until a next input action is executed is reflected in a sequence of input actions executed by the user who makes transitions between several menus arranged in a tree structure; and an operation support processing unit which provides operation support when the confused state judging unit makes a positive judgment that the user is in a confused state.

An operation assisting apparatus includes: an option-function distance storage unit that stores a semantic distance between each of the options displayed on a menu screen and each of functions positioned at an end in the hierarchical structure; an operation history storage unit that stores the operation history of the options sequentially selected by the user; an estimation unit that estimates, based on a semantic distance between a selection option selected by the user and each of the functions, and a semantic distance between an unselected selection option that has been selectable but not selected and each of the functions, a degree of probability that the function is the function desired by the user; and an operational assistance determination unit that determines, based on the result of the estimation, a detail of an output such that functions with higher probability will be presented with higher precedence in selectability.

A speech recognition device is provided which includes: a language model storage unit which stores a language model indicating appearance probabilities of words or word sequences; an acoustic feature amount extracting unit and a checking unit which extract a feature amount of an inputted speech signal, and identifies the word or word sequence corresponding to the speech signal by checking the extracted feature amount with the language model stored in the language model storage unit; an obtained word signal receiving/analyzing unit which obtains and analyzes the word; and a language model adjusting unit which identifies the appearance probability of the word based on the time elapsed after obtaining the word by the obtained word signal receiving/analyzing unit and which adjusts the language model by reflecting the identified appearance probability on the language model stored in the language model storage unit.

A target estimation device that appropriately estimates a function targeted by a user from among functions of an operated apparatus includes: an item inputting unit (102) that obtains an item; a function representation storing unit (107) that stores function names of the operated apparatus; an identical word detecting unit (116) that detects a category of a word identical between each of the function names and the item; an operation intention calculating unit (117) that changes a method for calculating similarities between the item and the respective function names, for each of the function names, depending on the detected category, and that calculates the similarities as degrees of intentions of the user who has selected the item, using the changed calculation method; and a target estimation unit (112) that estimates a function so that the function having a higher degree of an intention is the function targeted by the user.
摘要:
A hearing aid fitting device has a display section and a monitoring section. The display section is able to display information for fitting a hearing aid. The monitoring section displays operating mode information, which indicates whether or not an operating mode in which hearing aid processing in the standard mode and additional hearing aid processing are executed is operating actively in the hearing aid, and hearing aid processing sound that has undergone hearing aid processing, on the display section.
摘要:
Provided are an operation assisting apparatus and a method thereof which accurately estimate an intention of a user and present a desired function more preferentially.The operation assisting apparatus estimates a function desired by a user based on a history of user operations for selecting options displayed on a menu screen having a hierarchical structure, and provides an operational assistance based on a result of the estimation. The apparatus includes: an option-function distance storage unit (106) that stores a semantic distance between each of the options displayed on a menu screen and each of functions positioned at an end in the hierarchical structure; an operation history storage unit (107) that stores the operation history of the options sequentially selected by the user; an estimation unit (114) that estimates, based on a semantic distance between a selection option selected by the user and each of the functions, and a semantic distance between an unselected selection option that has been selectable but not selected and each of the functions, a degree of probability that the function is the function desired by the user; and an operational assistance determination unit (110) that determines, based on the result of the estimation, a detail of an output such that functions with higher probability will be presented with higher precedence in selectability.
