A voice information control method for a server device includes receiving first voice information acquired by a first terminal device, and second voice information acquired by a second terminal device. The method also includes identifying a time interval of third voice information, which corresponds to a spoken voice of a first speaker who uses the first terminal device, in the first voice information, and a time interval of fourth voice information, which corresponds to a spoken voice of a second speaker who uses the second terminal device, in the second voice information, by comparing sound pressure levels of the first voice information and the second voice information. The method further includes converting the third voice information and the fourth voice information into plural items of text data, and integrating the plural items of the text data into one single text file, in a time-sequential manner.

Voice information control method and terminal device

A voice information control method for a terminal used in a system including a server device which creates text data on the basis of the voice information received from the terminal device, the method including: acquiring plurality items of first voice information; specifying a time interval that includes second voice information which is one of the plurality items of the first voice information, and which includes spoken voice of a first speaker who uses the first terminal device; and transmitting the second voice information included in the specified time interval being transmitted to the server device.

In the electronic equipment of the present application, a center axis of a cylindrical portionof a shaftis eccentric with respect to a rotation center axis of the shaft, whereby even when a cablecomes closest to the shaftin the turning of a first housingor second housing, a sufficient space can be secured between the shaftand the cable. Thus, in a turning range of the first housingor second housing, it is highly unlikely that the shaftand the cablecome into contact with each other, which avoids an increase in a tension of the cableand wear on an insulation cover of the cable. By avoiding the increase in the tension of the cable, breakage of the electric wires in the cablecan be avoided.
