ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a conversational speech analyzer which analyzes whether utterances in a meeting are of interest or concern. Frames are calculated using sound signals obtained from a microphone and a sensor, sensor signals are cut out for each frame, and by calculating the correlation between sensor signals for each frame, an interest level which represents the concern of an audience regarding utterances is calculated, and the meeting is analyzed.
