To perform a communication by selecting an appropriate communication path when there are a plurality of communication paths between two wireless communication devices. A wireless communication device is provided with an opposite side device communication information acquisition means acquiring opposite side device communication information, which indicates a communication path of a wireless communication in the communication device that is to be a communication partner, from the communication device in a short distance wireless communication; a communication information acquisition means acquiring communication information, which indicates a communication path of a wireless communication in own device; a selection means selecting a communication path used for a communication with the communication device among a plurality of communication paths based on the opposite side device communication information and the communication information; and a communication means performing a communication with the communication device in the selected communication path.

To provide an acoustic model which can absorb the fluctuation of a phonemic environment in an interval longer than a syllable, with the number of parameters of the acoustic model suppressed to be small, a phoneme-connected syllable HMM/syllable-connected HMM set is generated in such a way that a phoneme-connected syllable HMM set corresponding to individual syllables is generated by combining phoneme HMMs. A preliminary experiment is conducted using the phoneme-connected syllable HMM set and training speech data. Any misrecognized syllable and the preceding syllable of the misrecognized syllable are checked using results of a preliminary experiment syllable label data. The combination between a correct answer syllable for the misrecognized syllable and the preceding syllable of the misrecognized syllable is extracted as a syllable connection. A syllable-connected HMM corresponding to this syllable connection is added into the phoneme-connected syllable HMM set. The resulting phoneme-connected syllable HMM set is trained using the training speech data and the syllable label data.

Acoustic model creation method as well as acoustic model creation apparatus and speech recognition apparatus
