Voice-operated remote control system
First Claim
1. A voice-operated remote control system comprising:
- a microphone for entering a voice command;
speech recognition means for comparing a pattern of the entered voice command with a predetermined standard pattern to recognize contents of the voice command and for producing command data which corresponds thereto, said command data being representative of an operation to be carried out;
transmitting means for generating and transmitting a remote control signal corresponding to the command data;
degree-of-importance determining means for determining a degree of importance of said command data, including command data being representative of at least important operations and not important operations, and for producing a corresponding degree-of-importance signal; and
recognition accuracy determining means for determining an accuracy of recognition of the command data depending on the corresponding degree of importance thereof as indicated by said degree-of-importance signal, and for sending to said transmitting means only command data that has been determined as being representative of important operation and having an accuracy of recognition exceeding a first predetermined threshold and for sending command data that has been determined as being representative of not important operations and having an accuracy of recognition exceeding a second predetermined threshold.

Abstract
A voice-operated remote control system which transmits a remote control signal in response to a voice command has a degree-of-importance determining unit for determining the degree of importance of the voice command that is applied to the remote control system. The degree-of-importance determining unit sends a degree-of-importance signal corresponding to the degree of importance of the voice command to a recognition accuracy determining unit. Depending on the degree of importance of the input voice command as indicated by the degree-of-importance signal, the recognition accuracy determining unit determines whether the accuracy of the recognition result is high or low, and delivers only the recognition result of higher recognition accuracy to a transmitting circuit.
