Abstract

A data-managing method for managing image data is provided. The method includes receiving the data and corresponding linked voice data, recognizing the voice data with voice-recognition processings to obtain voice recognition results, and then storing the data and the voice-recognition results in a linked manner.

Claims

1. A data-managing method comprising the steps of:

receiving data and corresponding linked voice data;

recognizing the voice data with voice-recognition processings to obtain voice recognition results; and

storing the data and the voice recognition results in a linked manner.

2. The data-managing method according to claim 1, further comprising the steps of:

receiving a search condition including a keyword and corresponding-information corresponding to the voice-recognition processings; and

comparing the keyword and the voice-recognition results recognized with the voice-recognition processings corresponding to the corresponding-information to obtain a search result by.

3. The data-managing method according to claim 1, wherein the recognizing step includes recognizing the voice data with a plurality of acoustic models.

4. The data-managing method according to claim 3, wherein the plurality of acoustic models corresponds to a plurality of noise environments.

5. The data-managing method according to claim 3, wherein the plurality of acoustic models corresponds to a plurality of speakers'"'"' conditions.

6. A control program enabling a computer to execute the data-managing method according to claim 1.

7. A control program enabling a computer to execute the data-managing method according to claim 2.

8. A control program enabling a computer to execute the data-managing method according to claim 3.

9. A control program enabling a computer to execute the data-managing method according to claim 4.

10. A control program enabling a computer to execute the data-managing method according to claim 5.

11. A data-managing apparatus, comprising:

a receiving device configured to receive data and corresponding linked voice data;

a voice recognition unit configured to apply voice-recognition processings on the voice data to obtain voice recognition results; and

a storing device configured to store the data and the voice recognition results in a mutually linked manner.
