Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a home medical nursing device in which the bad operability can be eleminated by dispensing with the input by means of a keyboard, and in which a voice recognition processing function is used, while sufficiently taken into consideration that a false input is not put in by an operator by realizing interactive action control. SOLUTION: An action command input means to a device is not dependent on a direct input means such as a keyboard, but is made to be an input means by means of a voice input post 11, so that the burden on an operator who is inexperienced in the device can be reduced, and the voice recognition is realized by a voice recognition processing part 12, and the image is displayed by an image display part 13, and the voice is outputted by a voice output part 14 for realizing interactive action control. Thus, the false input of an action command by an operator can be prevented for enhancing operability.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a home medical care nursing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a home medical care nursing apparatus 1 includes a voice input unit 11 as an instruction input unit.
And a voice recognition processing unit 12 for performing voice recognition processing, an image display unit 13 for displaying image information, a voice output device 14 for outputting voice information, and a measuring device operation for performing operation control of a measuring device described later. Control unit 15 and measuring devices 16 and 17
Consisting of

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the speech recognition processing section 12 of FIG. 2, the speech recognition processing unit 12 includes a central processing unit 120 and storage units 121 and 12.
2 The storage unit 121 stores voice information input from the voice input unit 11 and output voice information generated after voice recognition. In the storage unit 122, voice information for the central processing unit 120 to compare with the input voice stored in the storage unit 121 is registered in advance. In addition, the storage device 1
In the area 22, voice information to be added for realizing interactive control is registered in advance.

The operation of the speech recognition processing section 12 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described with reference to the processing flow shown in FIG.

When a voice is input from the voice input unit 11,
The input voice information is stored in the storage unit 121 (steps S1 and S2 in FIG. 3). Next, the central processing unit 120 compares the audio information stored in the storage unit 121 with the comparison audio information registered in advance in the storage unit 122 (performs pattern matching), and compares the compared audio information. Of the information, the voice information closest to the voice information stored in the storage unit 121 is stored in the storage unit 121 as a voice recognition result (steps S3 and S4).

The central processing unit 120 determines whether or not the operation of the measuring devices 16 and 17 is determined based on the speech recognition result. If the information determines the operation of the measuring device, the central processing unit 120 controls the operation of the measuring device. It translates into an instruction for controlling the operation of the measuring device to the unit 15 and notifies the translated result to the measuring device operation control unit 15 (steps S5 to S7).

If the information does not determine the operation of the measuring devices 16 and 17, the speech recognition result is translated into an image display pattern, and the translation result is notified to the image display unit 13 and stored in the storage unit 121. For realizing interactive control pre-registered in the storage unit 122 in the voice information of the voice recognition result that has been set. >, Is n’t it? >, Etc., and notify the audio output device 14 (step S
8-S12).

The pattern matching in the voice recognition processing unit 12 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 4, the input voice pattern N1 is stored in the storage unit 121. The input pattern N1 and registered voice patterns P1, P2,.
·············································································· Stored in the storage device 121 as the output voice pattern M1 of one voice recognition result.

Next, after receiving the measuring device operation command transmitted from the voice recognition processing unit 12, the measuring device operation control unit 15
Will be described with reference to FIG. Measurement device operation control unit 1
Reference numeral 5 refers to the translation result and determines whether the operation is started or stopped (steps S21 and S22 in FIG. 5). If the command is an operation start command, it is determined whether the command is a command for the measuring device 16 or a command for the measuring device 17 (step S23). If the command is for the measuring device 16, an operation start command is given to the measuring device 16 (step S24). Measuring equipment 17
If the command is a command for, an operation start command is given to the measuring device 17 (step S25).

If the command is an operation stop command, it is determined whether the command is a command for the measuring device 16 or a command for the measuring device 17 (steps S26 and S27). If it is a command for the measuring device 16, an operation start command is given to the measuring device 16 (step S28). If the command is for the measuring device 17, an operation start command is given to the measuring device 17 (step 29).

Further, a process from creating a voice output pattern by the voice recognition processing unit 12 to outputting voice from the voice output unit 14 will be described with reference to FIG. Now, it is assumed that the voice input from the operator is "electrocardiogram" (step S31 in FIG. 6). The speech recognition result of the speech recognition processing unit 12 is “electrocardiogram”, and the speech information of the recognition result is stored in the storage unit 1.
21 (steps S32-S34). Storage unit 1
In addition to the voice information stored in the storage unit 21, the voice information “Issued” requesting the operator to confirm the input content is added to generate voice information “Electrocardiogram” and stored in the storage unit 121 ( Step S35). The audio information stored in the storage unit 121 is sent to the audio output unit 14 (Step S3)
6). By outputting the voice information, the voice output device 14 can be heard as a voice to the operator (step S37).

The processing flow until the voice information created in FIG. 6 is displayed on the image display unit 13 will be described with reference to FIG. The voice information of "Is an electrocardiogram" created by the reflow in FIG. 6 is translated into an image display pattern by the voice recognition processing unit 12 (step S41 in FIG. 7). The translated image display pattern is sent to the image display unit 13 (step S42). As a result, the image display unit 13 displays an image "You are an ECG" (step S).
43).

[0025]

As described above, according to the present invention, an operator inputs a device operation command by voice, and the device notifies the operator of the result of voice recognition by image information and voice information. By realizing the interactive operation control, an erroneous input of the device operation command by the operator can be prevented, and the burden of the operator on the device operation can be reduced.
