SPEECH RECOGNITION TERMINAL DEVICE, SPEECH RECOGNITION SYSTEM, AND SPEECH RECOGNITION METHOD
First Claim
1. A speech recognition terminal device capable of communicating with a speech recognition server that carries out speech recognition, the speech recognition terminal device comprising:
- a speech acquisition device that acquires a speech command spoken by a user;
a request device that requests the speech recognition server to carry out the speech recognition of the speech command acquired by the speech acquisition device;
a prediction device that predicts a present delay time until a result of the speech recognition of the speech command requested from the request device is obtained from the speech recognition server;
a determination device that determines a filler word with a time length in accordance with the present delay time predicted by the prediction device;
a filler speaking device that outputs the filler word determined by the determination device as speech information during a waiting time until the result of the speech recognition requested from the request device is obtained from the speech recognition server; and
a response device that, when the result of the speech recognition is acquired from the speech recognition server, executes a process of responding to the user based on the acquired result of the speech recognition.

Abstract
A speech recognition terminal device communicable with a speech recognition server includes a request device for requesting the speech recognition server to carry out the speech recognition of an acquired speech command, a prediction device for predicting a present delay time until a result of the requested speech recognition is obtained from the speech recognition server, a determination device for determining a filler word with a time length in accordance with the predicted present delay time, a filler speaking device for outputting the determined filler word during a waiting time until the result of the requested speech recognition is obtained from the speech recognition server, and a response device for responding to the user when the result of the speech recognition is acquired from the speech recognition server.

10. A speech recognition method in a computer system that carries out speech recognition, the speech recognition method comprising:
-
performing an acquisition process including acquiring a speech command spoken by a user; performing a request process including requesting a speech recognition server that carries out speech recognition of the speech command acquired in the acquisition process; performing a prediction process including predicting a present delay time until a result of the speech recognition requested in the request process is obtained from the speech recognition server; performing a determination process including determining a filler word with a time length in accordance with the present delay time predicted in the prediction process; performing a filler speaking process including outputting the filler word, which is determined in the determination process, as speech information during a waiting time until the result of the speech recognition requested in the request process is obtained from the speech recognition server; and when the result of the speech recognition is acquired from the speech recognition server, performing a response process including responding to the user based on the acquired result of the speech recognition. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
