Abstract:
A driver support system includes a processor that acquires a heart rate of a target person; evaluates a health condition of the target person based on the heart rate of the target person; and performs an operation setting of a moving object into which the target person gets as a driver. The processor evaluates the health condition of the target person based on an ordinary heart rate, which is a heart rate of the target person during an ordinary period, and a pre-driving heart rate which is a heart rate of the target person when the target person arrives at the moving object, performs the operation setting of the moving object based on a result of the health condition of the target person evaluated when the target person gets into the moving object as a driver.

Abstract:
A sound processing device includes a noise suppression unit configured to suppress a noise component included in an input sound signal, an auxiliary noise addition unit configured to add auxiliary noise to the input sound signal, whose noise component has been suppressed by the noise suppression unit, to generate an auxiliary noise-added signal, a distortion calculation unit configured to calculate a degree of distortion of the auxiliary noise-added signal, and a control unit configured to control an addition amount by which the auxiliary noise addition unit adds the auxiliary noise based on the degree of distortion calculated by the distortion calculation unit.
Abstract:
A speech processing apparatus that collects sound signals. With each of the collected sound signals, the apparatus may estimate a direction of a sound source, and select an extension filter that is applied to each sound signal. The extension filter may correspond to the estimated sound source of each of the sound signals. In addition, each of the sound signals may be corrected using the extension filter, and a reverberation reduction of the corrected sound signals and the collected sound signals may be performed.
Abstract:
An information processing device includes a first information processing unit, a communication unit, and a control unit. The first information processing unit performs predetermined information processing on input data to generate first processing result data. The communication unit is capable of receiving second processing result data generated by a second information processing unit capable of executing the same kind of information processing as the information processing on the input data under a condition with higher versatility. The control unit selects either the first processing result data or the second processing result data according to the use environment of the device.
Abstract:
A health assessment system includes a processor that acquires biometric measurement data measured by a wearable terminal worn by a target person, the biometric measurement data being biometric data of the target person; generates complementary biometric data for complementing the biometric measurement data in a missing period in which the acquisition unit is not able to acquire the biometric measurement data from the wearable terminal; and assesses a health condition of the target person based on the biometric measurement data and the complementary biometric data, the processor acquires exercise information, which is information about exercise of the target person, from a mobile terminal carried by the target person, generates the complementary biometric data in the missing period, based on the exercise information of the target person which is obtained from the mobile terminal.
