Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Overview] In a control device that can use a voice registered in advance instead of an operation switch, the order of voice registration can be freely set so that voice registration can be performed only in a desired operation switch in an arbitrary order. I do.

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a control device having a voice recognition function.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art There is an apparatus that controls a plurality of devices or functions by a plurality of operation switches, in which some operation switches can be replaced by voice input. In this case, it is necessary to previously register which operation switch is equivalent to the sound. For example, the audio associated with the operation switch for operating the cassette (CS) may be “cassette” or “tape”
However, it may be “play” or “GS”. These can be arbitrarily registered by the user.

A voice recognition device that performs this type of processing has a table that associates voices with operation switches, and compares input voices with registered voices. Then, when there is a matched voice, the code of the corresponding operation switch is output, so that the same control as when the operation switch is operated is performed.

 The following table shows an example of the above speech recognition table.

By the way, conventionally, it is conditioned that the voice registration is performed in the order of the operation switches. Therefore, the voice of the registration No. 1 input first in the registration mode becomes the voice 1, and is registered as the voice corresponding to SW1. Similarly, voice 2 of registration No. 2 is necessarily registered in association with SW2.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The above-described conventional registration method has the simplicity that, for example, one operation of the registration switch at the time of registration does not require another switch operation. However, for example, there are 20 operation switches, and only 10 of them are input by voice. If it can be substituted by the user, it is up to the manufacturer to select which operation switch, and there is a drawback that the user's wish cannot be entered.

The present invention enables the user to arbitrarily set the relationship between the registration order and the operation switches by using the operation switches at the time of voice registration.

[Means for solving the problem]

The present invention includes a plurality of devices or a plurality of operation switches provided for controlling a plurality of functions included in the devices, and a plurality of operation switches for designating the plurality of functions or the plurality of functions. In a control device having a voice recognition function in which a corresponding device or function can be controlled also by a voice input registered in association with an operation switch, when a registration switch is turned on, a voice registration mode is set, and the plurality of devices are set in the mode. Alternatively, when an operation switch provided corresponding to a function is turned on, information defining the operation switch and a generated sound are stored as a pair.

[Action]

 The following table is an example of the speech recognition table of the present invention.

The registration numbers of the present invention are assigned in the order in which the operation switches are pressed. Since the registration voice number corresponds to the registration number,
The relationship between the registration number and the operation switch is as desired by the user.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of the present invention, 1 is various audio equipment, 2 is a system control microcomputer, 3 is a voice recognition board, 4 is a communication interface, SW1 to SWn are n operation switches, and SW0 is a voice. It is a registration switch.

The voice recognition board 3 amplifies the voice input, performs various processes, and takes in the voice processing microcomputer 30.
An equalizer 32, an AGC circuit 33, a low-pass filter 34, an A / D converter 35, a digital filter 36, a compression / expansion DP matching circuit 37, a memory 38 for storing audio data, a communication terminal 39, and the like are provided. The terminal 39 and the interface 4 can be omitted.

When any one of the operation switches SW1 to SWn corresponding to the plurality of devices or functions is pressed, the control microcomputer 2 switches the SW.
The code is stored, and the corresponding function of the device 1 is controlled if the mode is not the registration mode (if the registration switch SW0 has not been pressed before that).

In the registration mode, the operation switch is the registration switch
The number of the switch pressed from ON of SW0 (corresponding to the registration number of voice recognition) is stored in association with the SW code of the operation switch, and the table shown in Table 2 is generated. During this time, the voice recognition board registers the input voices in the order of input, and stores the voice of registration No. i as voice i in the memory 38 (i = 1, 2,...).
In this way, the control microcomputer 2 stores the registration number and its SW code, and the voice recognition board 3 stores the registration number and its voice.

If such voice registration is performed, the subsequent input voice replaces the operation switch, and when the registration number of the recognition result is input from the voice recognition board 3, the control microcomputer 2 determines the SW code and switches the device 1 Can control. FIG. 2 shows the procedure of this speech recognition.

In the present invention, the operation switches SW1 to SWn are used as means for selecting a device or function to be substituted by voice input. For the device or function for which the registration of the voice corresponding to the operation switch has been completed, the operation of the device or function can be realized by the operation switch or by voice.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing of the control microcomputer 2, wherein step S1 is initialization, and step S2 is a registration switch.
Step S3 sets the registration mode by a flag or the like, Step S4 determines whether the mode is the registration mode, Step S5
~ S8 is processing by voice input, steps S9, S10, S8 are operation S
Processing by W, steps S11 to S16 are voice registration processing.

In the voice registration process, when the ON of the operation SW is detected in step S11, the SW code for internal processing corresponding to the operation SW is set in step S12. Then, in step S13, the presence or absence of a voice input is determined, and if so, in step S14, it is confirmed whether or not the voice pattern has been stored (registered). When it is stored, it is determined in step S15 whether the input up to the final code has been completed. The final code is an operation switch that allows voice registration
This is the code of the last operation switch that satisfies the number. When this code is input, the registration mode is canceled in step S16.

In the voice input processing, if it is determined in step S5 that a voice input is present, in step S6, the input voice is recognized, that is, collated with the registered voice, and a registration number is obtained. Then, in step S7, the registration number is converted into a SW code, and the process of step S8 (such as device control and display) is executed.

When the operation SW processing detects that the operation SW is turned on in step S9,
After conversion into the corresponding SW code in step S10, the process of step S8 is executed.

[Effect of the invention]

As described above, according to the present invention, the operation of voice registration
Since the type and order of the SWs can be arbitrarily selected, there is an advantage that the operability of the control device having the voice recognition function can be improved.
