Claims
- 1. An apparatus for recognizing speech, that stores a registration pattern of a speech command and a corresponding operation, both the speech command and the corresponding operation being not prepared, and that controls an external apparatus connected thereto in accordance with the corresponding operation when the speech command is recognized by processing of speech input, comprising:
- input means for inputting speech;
- speech recognizing means for recognizing, in a command registration mode, an input speech pattern in the speech input by said input means;
- confirmation output means for providing a confirmation of a result from said speech recognizing means;
- storage means for storing a registration pattern containing a speech command included in the input speech pattern recognized by said speech recognizing means and a corresponding operation; and
- apparatus control means for controlling said external apparatus by outputting and inputting control data for the corresponding operation to and from the external apparatus and, in the command registration mode, registering into said storage means the corresponding operation consisting of manipulation data produced by the external apparatus either immediately before or after input of the speech containing the input speech pattern including the speech command.
- 2. An apparatus according to claim 1,
- wherein said speech recognizing means in a command operation mode recognizes the speech command registered in said storage means from said speech input by said input means; and
- wherein said apparatus control means in the command operation mode controls the external apparatus by outputting to the external apparatus the manipulation data registered in said storage means for the corresponding operation of the speech command recognized by said speech recognizing means.
- 3. A method for recognizing speech and controlling an external apparatus, comprising:
- inputting first speech signals in a command registration mode;
- recognizing an input speech pattern to be registered from the first speech signals;
- registering the speech pattern as a speech command after the input speech pattern is first recognized; and
- registering a new operation corresponding to the speech command and consisting of manipulation data produced by the external apparatus either immediately before or immediately after the speech command is produced.
- 4. A method according to claim 3, further comprising:
- recognizing, from second speech signals input in a command operation mode, the speech command registered in the command registration mode; and
- outputting the manipulation data to control the external apparatus when the speech command is recognized in the second speech signals.
