May be.

  In 1st Embodiment mentioned above, although each block with which the portable communication terminal 10, the speech recognition server 100, and the information household appliance 200 are provided is described, this invention is not limited to this, For example, the function of said each block is performed. The computer program may be a computer program that distributes the computer program. Further, as described above, an information acquisition method for acquiring information may be used.

  In the first embodiment described above, the information home appliance 200 of the present invention is an information home appliance that can use the Internet using the Web browser 210 on the display in addition to the hardware resources of the so-called home appliance. However, the information home appliance 200 only needs to include the Web browser 210 as described above, and may be a personal computer. In this case, according to the information home appliance system 1, since it is not necessary to use a keyboard, it is particularly effective for a user who is unfamiliar with keyboard input and a user who is inconvenient for keyboard input.

  In the first embodiment described above, in step S100, the mobile communication terminal 10 and the information home appliance 200 perform voice recognition after logging into the voice recognition server 100. The present invention is not limited to this. For example, in step S113, the communication unit 17 of the mobile communication terminal 10 transmits the user ID 150 together with the audio information 140 to the voice recognition server 100. You may log in to the speech recognition server 100 simultaneously with the speech recognition in step S120. In addition, the information home appliance 200 does not need to log in to the voice recognition server 100 at the stage of voice recognition in step S120. Instead, the mobile communication terminal 10 identifies the information home appliance 200 to transmit the recognition result information 170. Information home appliance identification information 160 to be transmitted may be transmitted to the voice recognition server 100. According to this, the information home appliance 200 can log in to the voice recognition server 100 when receiving the recognition result information 170 even if it is not logged in to the voice recognition server 100 in the stage of voice recognition in step S120. The information home appliance system 1 operates.

  As described above, the present invention naturally includes various embodiments that are not described herein. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention is defined only by the invention specifying matters according to the scope of claims reasonable from the above description.

  For example, each configuration diagram, flowchart, conceptual diagram, and the like are merely examples, and the presence / absence of each element, its order, specific contents, and the like can be changed as appropriate. As an example, manual block designation is not indispensable, and in the present invention, elements such as each means are not limited to an arithmetic control unit of a computer but may be realized by an electronic circuit based on wired logic or the like.
