Abstract:
The system comprises a terminal apparatus that views or plays the content acquired from a data provider which embeds an identifier to the content. The system comprises a database for storing information tickets for each of the identifiers. The terminal apparatus captures the identifier embedded in the content. The system further comprises a service portal that, in response to the identifier which has been captured by and transmitted from the terminal apparatus over the Internet, searches the database and provides a service for connecting the terminal apparatus to a web page associated with the identifier.
Abstract:
A system is provided for printing data with an output device installed at a remote location such as an office where a user occasionally visits. The system comprises an information ticket database for storing one or more information tickets that can be retrieved using an identifier of an object as a search key. The system also includes a service portal that searches the information ticket database to provide service information to a user in response to the identifier transmitted from a user's mobile device through the Internet. The database stores, for each of output devices registered in the system, an access-information ticket containing information for accessing the output device. The service portal searches the database to retrieve the ticket of the output device identified by the identifier transmitted from the user's mobile device and outputs the data specified by the mobile device onto the output device according to the information obtained from the ticket.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to enable optimal clustering for many types of noise data and to improve the accuracy of estimation of a speech model sequence of input speech. Noise is added to speech in accordance with noise-to-signal ratio conditions to generate noise-added speech (step S1), the mean value of speech cepstral is subtracted from the generated, noise-added speech (step S2), a Gaussian distribution model of each piece of noise-added speech is created (step S3), the likelihoods of the pieces of noise-added speech are calculated to generate a likelihood matrix (step S4) to obtain a clustering result. An optimum model is selected (step S7) and linear transformation is performed to provide a maximized likelihood (step S8). Because noise-added speech is consistently used both in clustering and model learning, clustering for many types of noise data and an accurate estimation of a speech model sequence can be achieved.
Abstract:
A robot remote manipulation system is provided, including a bipedal walking robot and a remote manipulation device for remotely manipulating the bipedal walking robot. The robot is connected to the remote manipulation device via a communication network and controlled by controlling data from the remote manipulation device. In the system, the remote manipulation device comprises a pair of bilateral mechanical rotating elements providing a quantity of motion for each bilateral leg of the bipedal walking robot; and a controlling data transmitter for transmitting controlling data corresponding to the quantities of motion to the bipedal walking robot. The bipedal walking robot comprises a controlling data receiver for receiving the controlling data transmitted from the remote manipulation device; and a leg motion controller for processing the received controlling data and causing the bilateral legs to move forward or backward.
Abstract:
A mobile terminal capable of measuring a biological signal is provided. The terminal comprises a terminal body; an electrode for human body earth or system reference, placed on an outer surface of the terminal body so as to be contactable with the skin of a user of the mobile terminal; and differential electrodes. The measured biological signals include an electromyography signal and an electroencephalogram signal. The differential electrodes can be external to the terminal body and be connected via lead lines to the terminal body.

Abstract:
The myo-electric information of the user is transmitted to the data center, learning with a high computation load for generating recognition parameters required for recognizing the utterance content based on the myo-electric information is performed, not by the mobile communication terminal, but by the data center. By this, compared with the case when learning is performed in the mobile communication terminal which has stricter limitations on processing speed and memory than a stationary type computer, efficient learning in a shorter time becomes possible. Since the recognition parameters acquired at the data center are transmitted to the mobile communication terminal, hereafter utterance content recognition can be appropriately performed by the recognition parameters matching the user only by the mobile communication terminal, without the mobile communication terminal transmitting/receiving information with a learning device.
