2 and 3 are sequence diagrams showing a specific example of the operation flow of the application system 100. FIG. Hereinafter, the operation flow of the application system 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
First, the user of the terminal device 200 operates the operation input unit of the terminal device 200 to instruct application to the application system 100 (step S101). The terminal device 200 generates application request data in response to an operation (application operation) performed on the operation input unit (step S102). The application request data includes the prize identification information of the prize to be applied. The communication unit of the terminal device 200 transmits the generated application request data to the application system 100 via the network 300 (step S103).

  When the communication unit 11 of the application system 100 receives application request data from the terminal device 200 (step S104), the application receiving unit 17 acquires the prize identification information from the received application request data. Next, the application reception unit 17 reads the utterance data stored in association with the acquired prize identification information from the application information storage unit 16 (step S105). The application receiving unit 17 generates utterance request data including the read utterance data (step S106). The communication unit 11 transmits the generated utterance request data to the terminal device 200 that is the transmission source of the application request data (step S107).

  The communication unit of the terminal device 200 receives the utterance request data from the application system 100 via the network 300 (step S108). The terminal device 200 outputs the content of the utterance data included in the received utterance request data (step S109). For example, the display unit of the terminal device 200 displays a character string of utterance data.

  The user of the terminal device 200 utters based on the content of the utterance data output by the terminal device 200. For example, the user speaks by reading out a character string displayed on the display unit. The voice input unit of the terminal device 200 inputs the voice generated by the user's utterance (step S201). The signal processing unit of the terminal device 200 converts the audio analog signal input by the audio input unit into audio data of a digital signal (step S202). The communication unit of the terminal device 200 gives prize identification information to the audio data of the digital signal, and transmits it to the application system 100 via the network 300 (step S203).

  When the communication unit 11 of the application system 100 receives voice data from the terminal device 200 (step S204), the voice recognition unit 13 performs voice recognition on the received voice data (step S205). The voice recognition unit 13 outputs character data as a result of the voice recognition process. Next, the scoring unit 15 reads scoring reference data corresponding to the prize identification information given to the received voice data from the scoring information storage unit 14. Then, the scoring unit 15 scores based on the read scoring reference data (step S206). The scoring unit 15 outputs the scoring result and the prize identification information to the application receiving unit 17.

The application receiving unit 17 reads application condition information stored in association with the prize identification information from the application information storage unit 16. The application condition information represents a condition related to a scoring result as an application condition for each sweepstakes identification information (a condition to be satisfied in order to apply). The application receiving unit 17 generates scoring result data based on the read application condition information. If the scoring result output by the scoring unit 15 satisfies the read application conditions, the application receiving unit 17 receives the application qualification information stored in association with the prize identification information from the application information storage unit 16. read out. And the application reception part 17 produces | generates the scoring result data containing a scoring result and application qualification information. On the other hand, when the scoring result output by the scoring unit 15 satisfies the read application conditions, the application receiving unit 17 generates scoring result data not including the application qualification information. The application qualification information is information indicating that the user of the terminal device 200 has the qualification to apply for the sweepstakes. A user who has not acquired the application qualification information cannot apply for the prize provided in the application system 100. The application qualification information may be a password (keyword, password) used when applying, or a URL of a website that needs to be accessed when applying, and indicates the password or URL. It may be a bar code or other information. The application qualification information may be data of redirect to a website that needs to be accessed when applying.
Thereafter, the communication unit 11 transmits the generated scoring result data to the terminal device 200 that is the transmission source of the audio data (step S207).

  The communication unit of the terminal device 200 receives scoring result data from the application system 100 via the network 300 (step S208). The terminal device 200 generates application data based on the application qualification information when the application qualification information is included in the received scoring result data. Then, the terminal device 200 transmits the generated application data to the application system 100 via the network 300 (step S209). The application data includes information related to the user of the terminal device 200 (name, address, etc.), identification information indicating a prize prize, and the like.

  When the communication unit 11 of the application system 100 receives application data from the terminal device 200 (step S210), the application receiving unit 17 receives a user application based on the received application data (step S211). For example, the application reception unit 17 registers information about the user included in the received application data in the application information storage unit 16. Registration of information about the user is registered in the application information storage unit 16 to complete the application acceptance.

  According to the application system 100 configured as described above, when accepting an application for a prize, the user is prompted to correctly utter character information. Therefore, when a character string for advertisement is included in the character information, recognition of the character string for advertisement by the user is improved by utterance. In addition, since the user's utterance content reaches the people around the uttering user as voice, an advertising effect to the surrounding people can be expected.

  If the scoring standard is defined so that a large score is assigned to the important word, motivation to clearly pronounce the important word is generated. As a result, recognition of important words by the user is improved.

<Modification>
The configuration shown in FIG. 1 and the processing flow shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are merely examples, and may be changed as appropriate.
For example, when audio data is transmitted between the terminal device 200 and the application system 100, a public line network such as NGN (Next Generation Network) may be used instead of the Internet network. More specifically, the following processing may be performed.

  First, the user of the terminal device 200 operates the terminal device 200 to make a call to a previously notified telephone number. The telephone number notified in advance through an advertisement medium or the like is a telephone number assigned to the application system 100 and is a telephone number for connecting to the communication unit 11 of the application system 100. This operation corresponds to the processing of steps S101 to S103 in FIG. Next, the user utters a character string (character string indicated by the utterance request data) notified in advance through an advertising medium or the like. This process corresponds to step S201 in FIG. That is, the processes in steps S104 to S109 in FIG. 2 are omitted.

  Thereafter, the terminal device 200 transmits the spoken voice to the application system 100 as an analog signal or converted into a digital signal. This process corresponds to step S203 in FIG. Thereafter, the application system 100 performs steps S204 to S206. And the application reception part 17 of the application system 100 receives the application by a user, when the scoring result satisfy | fills application conditions. This process corresponds to the process in step S211. That is, the processes in steps S207 to S210 in FIG. 3 are omitted. Thereafter, the application system 100 transmits information indicating that the application has been accepted as an email addressed to the user (for example, a short message service).

Next, scoring criteria will be described. The scoring standard may be set in any way. For example, it may be a criterion based on the degree of matching of character strings in the speech recognition result, a criterion based on the result of morphological analysis in the speech recognition result, or a criterion based on both Also good. For example, when it is required to repeatedly utter important words, the scoring criteria may be such that a higher scoring result is obtained as the number of important words repetitively uttered at a breath (without interruption). . Whether or not the voice is spoken at a breath may be determined based on whether or not the width of time existing between the important words is less than a predetermined value.
The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and includes designs and the like that do not depart from the gist of the present invention.
