Abstract
A voice processing system for a vehicle environment is provided for detecting a sound signal in the vehicle environment and identifying a voice command that originates from a vehicle user outside the vehicle. The voice processing system, in the detected the sound signal, takes into account position information relating to the position of the vehicle user in the vehicle environment. Information on the position of the vehicle user may be obtained from a keyless-go-system or another monitoring device of the motor vehicle, for example an optical imaging device of a parking-assistance system or a driver-assistance system.
