First Claim
Patent Images
1. A speech recognition apparatus for allowing setting by speech, comprising:
- an input unit configured to input a setting instruction by speech;
a speech interpretation unit configured to recognize and interpret contents of the setting instruction by speech to generate first structured data containing candidates of the interpretation result;
an instruction input detecting unit configured to detect a setting instruction input by a user;
an instruction input interpretation unit configured to interpret contents of the setting instruction input to generate second structured data; and
a selection unit configured to select one of the interpretation candidates contained in the first structured data on the basis of the second structured data,whereineach interpretation candidate contained in the first structured data contains information of a setting item name and a setting value, andthe second structured data contains information of a setting item name; and
further comprising;
a setting window control unit configured to display a setting window corresponding to the setting instruction input when said instruction input detecting unit detects the setting instruction input,said setting window control unit inhibiting display of the setting window when said speech input unit inputs the setting instruction.

Abstract
A speech recognition apparatus that enables efficient multimodal input in setting a plurality of items by one utterance is provided. An input unit inputs a setting instruction by speech. A speech interpretation unit recognizes and interprets the contents of the setting instruction by speech to generate first structured data containing candidates of the interpretation result. An instruction input detecting unit detects a setting instruction input by a user. An instruction input interpretation unit interprets the contents of the setting instruction input to generate second structured data. A selection unit selects one of the interpretation candidates contained in the first structured data based on the second structured data.

11. A method for setting a device by using speech recognition, comprising the steps of:
-
inputting a setting instruction by speech; recognizing and interpreting contents of the setting instruction by speech to generate first structured data containing candidates of the interpretation result; detecting a setting instruction input by a user; interpreting contents of the detected setting instruction input to generate second structured data; and selecting one of the interpretation candidates contained in the first structured data on the basis of the second structured data, wherein each interpretation candidate contained in the first structured data contains information of a setting item name and a setting value, and the second structured data contains information of a setting item name; and further comprising; controlling by a processing unit to display a setting window corresponding to the setting instruction input when said detecting detects the setting instruction input, said controlling inhibiting display of the setting window when said inputting inputs the setting instruction by speech.

12. A computer program stored on a computer-readable medium for setting device options using speech recognition, the program comprising code for performing the following steps of:
-
inputting a setting instruction by speech; recognizing and interpreting contents of the setting instruction by speech to generate first structured data containing candidates of the interpretation result; detecting a setting instruction input by a user; interpreting contents of the detected setting instruction input to generate second structured data; and selecting one of the interpretation candidates contained in the first structured data on the basis of the second structured data, wherein each interpretation candidate contained in the first structured data contains information of a setting item name and a setting value, and the second structured data contains information of a setting item name; and further comprising; controlling to display a setting window corresponding to the setting instruction input when said detecting detects the setting instruction input, said controlling inhibiting display of the setting window when said inputting inputs the setting instruction by speech.
