摘要:
A speaking period required for a voice recognition processing is detected with a simple and robust approach. A speaking period is detected based on an EMG generated when a speaker speaks. A large amplitude is observed in an EMG as muscular activity is caused when a speaker speaks. By observing this, a speaking period can be detected. The EMG can be measured from the speaker's skin via electrodes provided on a mobile-type terminal. Since a mobile-type terminal is usually pressed to the skin for use, affinity between this use form and the present invention is very high.

A display apparatus comprises a display, a transparent conductive film having a plurality of stimulation electrodes, an insensitive electrode electrically isolated from the stimulation electrodes and maintained at a constant potential, and a voltage applying device for establishing a potential difference between each stimulant electrode and the insensitive electrode. When the transparent conductive film is given a touch, the voltage applying device causes a state in which the potential of the stimulation electrodes is higher than that of the insensitive electrode, plural times intermittently or once in a predetermined period immediately after the touch, and varies the potential of the stimulation electrodes with time so as to intermittently cause a state in which the potential of the insensitive electrode is higher than that of the stimulation electrodes, in a predetermined pulse width and at a predetermined frequency during a continuing period of the touch thereafter.

摘要:
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.
摘要:
Information relating to an amount of muscle activity is extracted from a myo-electrical signal by activity amount information extraction means, and information recognition is performed by activity amount information recognition means using the information relating to the amount of muscle activity of a speaker. There is a prescribed correspondence relationship between the amount of muscle activity of a speaker and a phoneme uttered by a speaker, so the content of an utterance can be recognized with a high recognition rate by information recognition using information relating to an amount of muscle activity.
摘要:
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.
