Abstract

An information processing apparatus may include a control device to determine a plurality of candidate texts to correct a target text which is from an input text string, based on preceding text located at a position preceding the target text and succeeding text located at a position succeeding the target text.

Claims

1-15. -15. (canceled)

16. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a control device to determine a plurality of candidate texts to correct a target text which is from an input text string, based on preceding text located at a position preceding the target text and succeeding text located at a position succeeding the target text.

17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the input text string is determined using speech recognition.

18. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the candidate texts are determined from second candidate texts specified based on the preceding text.

19. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the candidate texts are determined by coupling of the succeeding text to an end of each of the second candidate texts.

20. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the control device is to calculate an assessment value of the coupling of the succeeding text to the end of each of the second candidate texts.

21. The apparatus of claim 20, wherein the candidate texts are determined based on the assessment values.

22. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the candidate texts are determined based on some of the assessment values.

23. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the candidate texts are determined based on a product of an assessment value of second candidate texts specified based on the preceding text and a second assessment value of coupling of the succeeding text to an end of each of the second candidate texts.

24. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the candidate texts are determined based on pronunciation in relation to the target text.

25. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the apparatus is in an eye-glass device.

26. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the candidate texts are determined solely by operation of the control device.

27. An information processing method comprising:

determining, by a control device, a plurality of candidate texts to correct a target text which is from an input text string, based on preceding text located at a position preceding the target text and succeeding text located at a position succeeding the target text.

28. A non-transitory recording medium recorded with a program executable by a computer, the program comprising:

determining a plurality of candidate texts to correct a target text which is from an input text string, based on preceding text located at a position preceding the target text and succeeding text located at a position succeeding the target text.

29. An information processing system comprising:

at least two devices having communication capability of;

an eye-glass device,

a mobile phone device, and

a server device; and

a control device including a plurality of components, in which at least one of the components is included in each of the at least two devices, wherein the components in the at least two devices are operable to jointly determine a plurality of candidate texts to correct a target text which is from an input text string, based on preceding text located at a position preceding the target text and succeeding text located at a position succeeding the target text.
