Abstract

Disclosed is a method of editing voice recognition results in a portable device. The method includes a process of converting the voice recognition results into text and displaying the text in a touch panel, a process of recognizing a touch interaction in the touch panel, a process of analyzing an intent of execution of the recognized touch interaction, and a process of editing contents of the text based on the analyzed intent of execution.

Claims

1. A method for editing voice recognition results in a portable device, comprising:

a process of converting the voice recognition results into text and displaying the text in a touch panel;

a process of recognizing a touch interaction in the touch panel;

a process of analyzing an intent of execution of the recognized touch interaction; and

a process of editing contents of the text based on the analyzed intent of execution.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the editing the contents of the text comprises any one of a merger of syllables, a separation of syllables, an addition of new words, a removal of a designated syllable, a change of a position of syllables, and a substitution or modification of syllable contents.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the merger of syllables is executed through an interaction in which two syllables to be merged are touched by different fingers and a first touch of the two touches is dragged to a second touch of the two touches.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein a region in which the two syllables are displayed comprises visually recognizable information indicative of execution of the merger.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the merger of syllables is executed through an interaction in which two syllables to be merged are touched by different fingers and dragged.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein a region in which the two syllables are displayed comprises visually recognizable information indicative of execution of the merger.

7. The method of claim 2, wherein the separation of syllables is executed through an interaction in which a target syllable to be separated is touched by a finger, a direction in which the target syllable is to be separated is touched by another finger, and the two fingers are dragged in the direction.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein a region in which the target syllable is displayed comprises visually recognizable information indicative of execution of the separation.

9. The method of claim 2, wherein the addition of new words is executed by:

a process of designating a position at which new words will be inserted by touching a predetermined syllable addition region within the touch panel using a finger;

a process of displaying a screen keyboard for entering the new words in a specific region of the touch panel when the insertion position is designated; and

a process of adding the new words entered through the screen keyboard at the insertion position.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein a region in which the insertion position is displayed comprises visually recognizable information indicative of execution of the addition.

11. The method of claim 2, wherein the removal of a designated syllable is executed through an interaction in which a target syllable to be removed is touched by a finger and the touched finger is dragged to a top or bottom of the touch panel.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein a region in which the touched target syllable is displayed comprises visually recognizable information indicative of execution of the removal.

13. The method of claim 2, wherein the change of a position of syllables is executed through an interaction in which a target syllable whose position will be changed is touched by a finger and the touched finger is dragged to a desired position.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the touched target syllable is moved to the dragged position.

15. The method of claim 2, wherein the substitution or modification of syllable contents is executed by:

a process of designating a target syllable by a double touch or a touch using a relatively long finger;

a process of displaying a screen keyboard for substituting or modifying the target syllable in a specific region of the touch panel when designating the target syllable; and

a process of substituting or modifying the target syllable in response to an input through the screen keyboard.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein a region in which the target syllable is displayed comprises visually recognizable information indicative of execution of the substitution or modification.

17. An apparatus for editing voice recognition results in a portable device, comprising:

a text generation block for recognizing voice received through a microphone and converting the voice into text;

a display execution block for displaying the converted text in a touch panel of a portable device;

an input analysis block for recognizing a touch interaction in the touch panel and analyzing an intent of execution of the recognized touch interaction; and

a text editing block for editing contents of the text displayed in the touch panel based on the analyzed intent of execution.

18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the text editing block comprises:

a syllable merger processor for merging two syllables through an interaction in which the two syllables are touched by respective fingers and dragged;

a syllable separation processor for separating a target syllable through an interaction in which the target syllable is touched by a finger, a direction in which the target syllable will be separated is touched by another finger, and the two fingers are dragged in the direction;

a new syllable addition processor for touching a predetermined syllable addition region within the touch panel, displaying a screen keyboard for entering new words in a specific region of the touch panel when a position into which the new words will be inserted is designated, and adding the new words entered through the screen keyboard at the insertion position;

a designated syllable removal processor for removing a target syllable through an interaction in which the target syllable is touched by a finger and the touched finger is dragged to a top or bottom of the touch panel;

a syllable sequence change processor for changing a sequence or position of a target syllable to a changed sequence or position through an interaction in which the target syllable is touched by a finger and the touched target syllable is dragged to the changed position; and

a syllable contents substitution or modification processor for displaying the screen keyboard for substituting or modifying a target syllable when the target syllable is designated by a double touch or a touch using a relatively long finger in a specific region of the touch panel and substituting or modifying the target syllable in response to an input through the screen keyboard.

19. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the display execution block displays visually recognizable information indicative of the execution of editing in a target syllable or a region peripheral to the target syllable.

20. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the visually recognizable information comprises at least one of a change of color, a display of a sign, and a display of a symbol for the target syllable or the region peripheral to the target syllable.
