Incorrect voice command recognition prevention and recovery processing method and apparatus
First Claim
1. An input information processing apparatus, comprising:
- input means for inputting vocal information;
storing means for storing words to be recognized for voice recognition and for storing first identification information indicating whether each stored word should be made a candidate for a current voice recognition operation;
recognition means for selecting words to be determined to be a candidate for voice recognition on the basis of the first identification information by referring to said storing means and for recognizing vocal information input by said input means by selecting a candidate word determined to match the input vocal information as a recognition result;
output means for outputting the recognition result of the recognition operation performed by said recognition means;
indicating means for indicating and inputting into said apparatus an indication that the selected candidate word recognized as the recognition result outputted by said recognition means is an incorrect recognition; and
updating means for updating the first identification information on the selected candidate word indicated to be an incorrect recognition by changing the first identification information on the selected candidate word stored in said storing means to indicate that the selected candidate word will not be selected again in the recognition operation in accordance with an indication input from said indicating means.

Abstract
Information for identifying whether a word should be recognized in the next recognition operation is stored in a recognition dictionary. This information is updated each time the recognized result is obtained in order to update the word for the next recognition, making it possible to prevent an incorrect recognition from being repeated. An indication of whether each word can be entered repeatedly is stored as identification information in the recognition dictionary. When the recognized word is a word which cannot be entered repeatedly, the identification information of the word is updated, thereby reducing the probability of incorrect recognition in the next recognition operation by excluding the word from the next recognition operation. Even when the recognized word is a word which can be entered repeatedly, the word is excluded from the next recognition operation when an instruction is issued from an instruction device. Thus, it is possible to reflect the will of the user in the recognition operation, and to decrease the probability of an incorrect recognition. The incorrect operation performed as a result of the incorrect recognition of the input information is recovered by an easy operation, and the burden on the user is lessened by preventing the repetition of an incorrect recognition operation.

10. An input information processing method, comprising the steps of:
-
inputting vocal information into an information processing apparatus; recognizing voice information input in said inputting step by storing words for voice recognition and first identification information indicating whether each stored word should be a candidate for a current voice recognition operation, and by selecting a word from the stored words, determined to be a candidate for voice recognition on the basis of the first identification information to produce a recognition result; outputting the recognition result of the recognition operation performed in said recognizing step; indicating and inputting into the information processing apparatus an indication that the recognition result is an incorrect recognition; and updating, in accordance with the input indication, the first identification information of the selected word indicated to be an incorrect recognition by changing the first identification information to information indicating that the selected word will not be selected again in said recognizing step. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
