Some embodiments an infusion pump system can be configured to modify alarm limit parameters as the user's insulin load increases or decreases. Moreover, in particular embodiments, the infusion pump system can be configured to provide a “missed bolus” or “missed meal” alarm in response to the user's blood glucose characteristics, the user's insulin load information, or the like.

Infusion pump system and methods

A mobile terminal and a control method thereof, which can obtain an image, are provided. A mobile terminal (100) includes a camera unit (121), a pictogram extraction unit (182) and a controller (180). The camera unit (121) obtains image information corresponding to at least one of a still image and a moving image. The pictogram extraction unit (182) extracts at least one pictogram from the obtained image information. The controller (180) detects information related to the extracted pictogram, and displays the detected information to be overlapped with the obtained image information. In the mobile terminal, the controller (180) includes, as the detected information, at least one of previously recorded information and currently searched information related to the extracted pictogram.

Mobile terminal and control method thereof

Sentence based queries from a user are analyzed using a natural language engine to determine appropriate answers from an electronic database. The system and methods are useful for Internet based search engines, as well as distributed speech recognition systems such as a client-server system. The latter are typically implemented on an intranet or over the Internet based on user queries at his/her computer, a PDA, or a workstation using a speech input interface.

System and method for natural language processing of sentence based queries

A real-time system (100) incorporating speech recognition and linguistic processing for recognizing a spoken query by a user and distributed between client (150) and server (180), is disclosed. The system (100) accepts user's queries in the form of speech at the client (150) where minimal processing extracts a sufficient number of acoustic speech vectors representing the utterance. These vectors are sent via a communications channel (160A) to the server (180) where additional acoustic vectors are derived. Using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), and appropriate grammars and dictionaries conditioned by the selections made by the user, the speech representing the user's query is fully decoded into text (or some other suitable form) at the server (180). The text corresponding to the user's query is then simultaneously sent to a natural language engine (190) and a database processor (186) where optimized SQL statements are constructed for a full-text search from a database (188) for a record set of several stored questions that best matches the user's query. Further processing in the natural language engine (190) narrows the search to a single stored question. The answer corresponding to this single stored question is next retrieved from the file path and sent to the client (150) in compressed form. At the client (150), the answer to the user's query is articulated to the user using a text-to-speech engine (159) in his or her native natural language. The system (100) requires no training and can operate in several natural languages.

Distributed real time speech recognition system

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To embody the subject matter of this specification in, among other things, a method that includes receiving an audio signal and initiating speech recognition tasks by a plurality of speech recognition systems (SRS's).SOLUTION: Each SRS is configured to generate a recognition result specifying possible speech included in the audio signal and a confidence value indicating a confidence in a correctness of the speech result. The method also includes completing a portion of the speech recognition tasks including generating one or more recognition results and one or more confidence values for the one or more recognition results, determining whether the one or more confidence values meets a confidence threshold, aborting a remaining portion of the speech recognition tasks for SRS's that have not completed generating a recognition result, and outputting a final recognition result based on at least one of the generated one or more speech results.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Speech Recognition with Parallel Recognition Tasks

This invention has as its object to provide a speech recognition system to which a client and a device that provides a speech recognition process are connected, which provides a plurality of usable speech recognition means to the client, and which allows the client to explicitly switch and use the plurality of speech recognition means connected to the network. To achieve this object, a speech recognition system of this invention has speech input means for inputting speech at the client, designation means for designating one of the plurality of usable speech recognition means, and processing means for making the speech recognition means designated by the designation means recognize speech input from the speech input means.

Speech recognition system, speech recognition apparatus, and speech recognition method

There is provided a text search apparatus capable of dividing a structured document such as an HTML document into segments, and presenting segments containing a given search key as the search result, thereby providing a part of the document matching the search condition as the result of search. The document is divided into segments by specified tags, and a level of association with an adjacent segment is calculated. A header is detected by a header tag, and the header information is added to the segment contained in the range of the header. Segments are divided and re-integrated according to the level of association therebetween, and indexes are prepared. A search is executed for two indexes, and the level of matching is calculated by weighting the search results for the indexes, and the search result judged according to such level of matching is stored or outputted for each segment.

Segmented document indexing and search

The present invention has as its object to automatically provide information about an object image-sensed by a camera and automatically image-sense and present an object described by browsed information while a user is browsing the information. To achieve this object, the present invention includes scope holding unit, picture operating unit, first instruction unit, picture display unit, map operating unit, second instruction unit, map display unit, document operating unit, third instruction unit, and document display unit.

Information presenting apparatus, operation processing method therefor, storage medium storing program for executing operation processing

An information processing apparatus inputs a document having a plurality of input items, and displays it using an information display unit. An active input field is discriminated from the plurality of input fields in accordance with the display state of the document. A specific grammar corresponding to the discriminated active input field is selected from a grammar holding unit for holding a plurality of types of grammars, and the selected grammar is used in a speech recognition process.

Information processing apparatus and method, a computer readable medium storing a control program for making a computer implemented information process, and a control program for selecting a specific grammar corresponding to an active input field or for controlling selection of a grammar or comprising a code of a selection step of selecting a specific grammar

A table in an HTML document is analyzed to generate cell position data indicating a positional relationship between cells and cell vectors representing characteristics of the cells, and a table type is judged with reference to the cell position data and the cell vectors, and, if the table type is a table describing a table, it is judged whether the data is represented in a column or a row with reference to the cell position data and the cell vectors, and a cut direction of the table is determined, and segments are generated with reference to the table type and the cut direction. If the table type is a table for layout, the cells are clustered with reference to the cell vectors, and the segments are generated with reference to the cell position data and cell cluster information.
