Speech recognition method
First Claim
1. A speech recognition system which identifies an action to be taken upon receipt of a command that is given to the system by a user'"'"'s speech, comprising:
- (a) at least one speech recognition unit EM via which the command is received and recognized,(b) an input memory ESP in which the command is stored,(c) an action determination unit (AE) which identifies at least one action which is indicated by an action indicator, the action determination unit (AE) is being constructed such that (1) a first set of actions is formed in which the actions are stored wherein all action indicators coincide with at least one part of prescribable key concepts that are allocated to an action, (2) that a second set of actions is formed in which the actions are stored wherein at least a part of the action indicators coincide with at least the part of the prescribable key concepts, and (3) the first set of actions and/or the second set of actions is employed as a basis for the unambiguous determination of the action indicated by the command, and(d) a parameter parser (PP) with which action parameters prescribable from the command that are allocated to an action and are employed for the execution of the action are identified.

Abstract
Proceeding from a command or request that a user (B) gives a speech recognition system, an action is first determined from a prescribable plurality of actions upon employment of action indicators that the action information pertains to. A first set of actions is thereby determined and stored wherein all action indicators coincide with the key concepts. Further, a second set of actions is determined and stored wherein at least a part of the action indicators coincide with the key concepts. The first set of actions and/or the second set of actions is employed as a basis for the unambiguous determination of the action. For the at least one determined action, the action parameters respectfully allocated to the action are determined upon employment of a parameter parser (PP). The sought action is implemented in a last step.

12. A method for recognizing speech and determining for an action to be undertaken upon receipt of a command in digital format that comprises at least one action indicator, using a computer, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) receiving and recognizing speech of a user, (b) recognizing a command in said speech, (c) providing the a command to the computer, (d) storing the a command in a memory, (e) selecting from a group of prescribable actions to which a prescribable plurality of action parameters are allocated, at least one action to be undertaken on the basis of the at least one action indicator in the command, (f) storing a first set of actions whose action indicators coincide with key concepts and a second set of actions wherein at least a part of the action indicators coincide with the key concepts, and (g) employing the first set of actions and/or the second set of actions as a basis for the unambiguous determination of the action, (h) determining for the action the action parameters that are allocated to the action and that are employed for the execution of the action, and (i) implementing the determined action. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
