As shown in FIG. 2, the voice recognition control unit 4 includes a voice data input unit 41, a voice data recognition determination unit 42, a voice data storage unit 43, an output determination unit 44, and a voice. An output generation unit 45 and a screen display generation unit 46 are provided.

  The voice recognition control unit 4 processes the voice input by the microphone 2 by the voice data input unit 41, and the voice data recognition determination unit 42 stores the voice data storage unit 43 including a ROM (Read Only Memory). The input voice data is determined by collating with the stored voice data. The output determination unit 44 determines whether to perform “voice option guide” or “voice recognition result voice guide”, and the voice output generation unit 45 assembles voice data. Further, the remaining time display assembly during speech recognition is performed by the screen display generation unit 46, and the remaining time is displayed.

  The control unit 5 is composed of a microcomputer, and converts the recognition result of the voice recognition control unit 4 into transmission data.

  In the present embodiment, the display unit 6 includes an LED (light emitting diode), a liquid crystal display element, or the like, and can display a two-digit number. Normally, the set temperature of the air conditioner is displayed, but in this embodiment, the time during which voice recognition is possible is also displayed. In this embodiment, the remaining time during which speech recognition is possible is displayed from 10 to 0 seconds.
