摘要:
A user interface through which multiple application programs can be operated in common. An information processing apparatus provides a common input/output interface to multiple application programs. The apparatus includes a section which converts an application-specific document generated by each of the plurality of application programs and represented in a data structure specific to the application program to a common document represented in a common data structure; a section which presents the common document to a user; a section which inputs an operation performed by the user on the common document; an interface adapter which converts an object contained in the common document to an object used in the output section; a section which modifies the common document in accordance with an operation by the user; and a section which reflects modifications to the common document in the application-specific document.

A device, a control method, and a program to increase the accuracy of voice read-out and text mining by automatically structuring a presentation file. The arrangement and practice of the invention involves an overlap grouping part for extracting overlap information between objects in a presentation file and grouping the objects as a parent-child relationship; a graph dividing grouping part for grouping the objects as a sibling relationship by representing the objects as nodes of a graph and by recursively dividing the graph so that a predefined cost between the nodes is minimized; a distance information grouping part for further grouping the objects as a sibling relationship if distance information between the objects is below a threshold determined by a predefined computation from a distribution histogram of the distance information; and a link information extraction part for extracting arrow graphics that represents a link relationship and generating link information including the link relationship and a link label. The resulting structured data is output as meta-information.

摘要:
A system is provided for evaluating the degree of difficulty a user is likely to encounter when trying to understanding the contents of one or more document pages by listening to a voice output from a screen reader. An evaluation value representing the likely degree of difficulty is generated based on a feature amount representing a feature of the page. A collection section collects the user's actual evaluation value of the difficulty and the feature amount of one or more pages where the generated evaluation value is inconsistent with the user's evaluation of the difficulty. A first update section updates the evaluation function on the basis of the feature amount and the evaluation value collected from the user.
摘要:
A technique for the simplification of Web pages in order to access necessary information rapidly, when displaying or outputting Web pages using a small screen device or a voice browser. A method for simplifying Web contents includes the steps of acquiring a target page subject to simplification, acquiring adjoining pages that adjoin the target page and performing a difference operation to delete objects that are common among the target page and the adjoining pages from the target page to generate a simplified page.
摘要:
A device, computer program and method for outputting linguistic information. The voice output device, for example, includes an output information acquisition unit acquiring linguistic information and attribute information. Attribute information includes an attribute added to each linguistic element included in the linguistic information. A tactile pattern storage unit stores a predetermined tactile pattern corresponding to each linguistic element. A tactile pattern acquisition unit acquires the tactile pattern from the tactile pattern storage unit. A voice output unit reads aloud the linguistic elements and a tactile pattern output unit outputs, in parallel with reading aloud each linguistic element, the tactile pattern corresponding to the attribute added to the linguistic element, thereby allowing a user to sense the tactile pattern by the sense of touch.
摘要:
Target subtree setting means sets a target subtree relating to a content portion. Occurrence mode detecting means collates a target subtree relating to a content with a tree relating to each of past structured/hierarchical contents and detects an occurrence mode of each node of the target subtree. Statistical information generating means generates statistical information concerning an occurrence frequency of the occurrence mode of each node in the target subtree. Classifying means classifies each node of the target subtree based on the statistical information and a result of detecting the occurrence mode. Matching pattern generating means generates the matching pattern for the target content portion based on the classification. The structured/hierarchical contents are identified by use of the matching pattern.
摘要:
The present invention relates to creating a web page and voice browsing of the web page, and more particularly, it improves accessibility for the voice browsing of the web page through a synthetic voice, efficiently with high reliability. A content creation system 20 of the present invention is used for creating a content which may be viewed through the synthetic voice, the system including: a database 22 for storing a structured document; and an information process section 24 for creating a speech node series 18 from the structured document, and calculating a reaching time from starting voice synthesis of the speech node series 18 until each node is outputted as the synthetic voice. The information process section 24 includes a support process section 36 to determine a graphic display corresponding to the reaching time, and to visually display the reaching time to a predetermined node by the voice synthesis on a screen of a display section 26.
