Method for operating a speech recognition system
First Claim
1. A method for operating a speech recognition system (1), in which method a speech signal (SI) of a user is detected and analyzed so as to recognize speech information contained in the speech signal (SI), characterized in that there is determined a reception quality value (SQ) or a noise value which represents a current reception quality, and in that the speech recognition system (1) switches over to a mode of operation which is less sensitive to noise and/or outputs an alert signal (SW) to the user when the reception quality value (SQ) drops below a given reception quality threshold or when the noise value exceeds a noise threshold.

Abstract
A method for operating a speech recognition system is described in which a speech signal (S1) of a user is detected and analyzed so as to recognize speech information contained in the speech signal (S). The speech recognition system determines a reception quality value (SQ) or a noise value which represents a current reception quality. The speech recognition system is switched over to a mode of operation which is less sensitive to noise and/or outputs an alert signal (SW) to the user when the reception quality value (SQ) drops below a given reception quality threshold or when the noise value exceeds a noise threshold. An appropriate speech recognition system is also described.

9. A speech recognition system (1) which comprises means (5) for the detection of a speech signal (SI) of a user and a speech recognition device (7) for analyzing the detected speech signal (SI) so as to recognize speech information contained in the speech signal, characterized in that it comprises a quality control device (6) for determining a reception quality value (SQ) or a noise value, representing a current reception quality,
a comparator for comparing the reception quality value (SQ) with a predetermined reception quality threshold or for comparing the noise value with a given noise threshold, and control means (9, 10) which are constructed in such a manner that the speech recognition system (1) is switched over to a mode of operation which is less sensitive to noise and/or an alert signal (SW) is output to the user when the reception quality value drops below the reception quality threshold or when the noise value exceeds the noise threshold.
