The various command signals input from the cradle or the power source may be operated as a signal for recognizing that the voice recognition device is correctly mounted on the cradle.

The first command input unit 150 is a first type user command input device.

For example, the first command input unit 150 may be configured to turn on / off the power from a remote control device (for example, a remote controller) according to various communication methods such as an RF (Radio Frequency) communication method, A destination search, a route guidance start, a screen setting, and the like, and may transmit the received user input signal to the controller 170. That is, the first command input unit 150 may be a remote control apparatus itself, and may be a receiver that receives a signal input through the remote control apparatus in association with the remote control apparatus.

For example, the first command input unit 150 may be a local key receiving unit that transmits a user command input from a local key such as a power key, a guidance key, and a volume key to the controller 170.

Also, as described above, the first command input unit 150 may be a touch screen for selecting a specific menu item displayed on the display unit by touching the screen of the display unit.

For example, the first command input unit 150 may transmit a user input signal input from a sensing unit (not shown) that senses a user's gesture to the controller 170. [ Here, the sensing unit (not shown) may include a touch sensor, an audio sensor, a position sensor, an operation sensor, and the like.

Also, for example, the first command input unit 150 may be a key button disposed in a handle of the vehicle in which the voice recognition apparatus 100 is provided in association with the voice recognition apparatus 100.

The second instruction input unit 160 is a second type user instruction input unit different from the first instruction input unit 150 of the first type described above.

At this time, the second command input unit 160 may be a voice recognition module for recognizing the user's voice. The speech recognition module is capable of setting recognition words for recognition of isolated words, has a recognition function independent of the speaker, and is capable of outputting recognition results in recognition words and recognition accuracy of the words in units of% Assume a speech recognition module.

For this, the second command input unit 160 includes a microphone for receiving a voice, a filter unit for removing noise from the voice input through the microphone, and an analyzing unit for analyzing a voice signal from which the noise is removed by the filter unit. And a signal converting unit for converting an analog voice signal into a digital voice signal and outputting the converted digital voice signal.

The control unit 170 controls the overall operation of the voice recognition apparatus.

For example, when the speech recognition apparatus 100 is a navigation system, the control unit 170 may search for a destination corresponding to a user input and execute a route guidance function corresponding to the searched destination.

Hereinafter, the operation of the controller 170 will be described with the voice recognition function according to the present embodiment as a main content.

The controller 170 controls the operation of the voice input device 100 based on a combination of a plurality of user commands input through the first command input unit 150 and the second command input unit 160.

That is, the control unit 170 first deactivates the second instruction input unit 160. For example, the second instruction input unit 160 is inactivated normally so that speech recognition is not performed.

The voice recognition function by the second command input unit 160 may be activated by a command input by the first command input unit 150. [

The controller 170 receives the command input through the first command input unit 150 and operates the second command input unit 160 when the received command is a preset first command, Enable the voice recognition function.

At this time, the first command may be a command for activating the second command input unit 160.

For example, the first command input may be a touch of a specific menu item on the touch screen. In particular, the specific menu item may be a menu item for activating the second command input unit 160. [

Alternatively, the first command input may be a touch of a specific area (an arbitrary area to which a specific menu is not allocated) on the touch screen.

Alternatively, the first command input may be a case where a local key assigned a function for activating the voice recognition function among a plurality of local keys is inputted.

Alternatively, the first command input may be for inputting a specific key assigned a function for activating the voice recognition function among a plurality of keys provided in the remote controller.

Alternatively, the first command input may be a specific command assigned to a function for activating the voice recognition function in an input device associated with the voice recognition apparatus 100 (for example, a key button mounted on a handle of a vehicle) Key button is pressed.

In this way, the controller 170 receives the command input through the first command input unit 150, and determines whether the received command is the first command for activating the voice recognition function as described above.

At this time, if the command input through the first command input unit 150 is not the first command, the controller 170 executes a function corresponding to the command input through the first command input unit 150. [ For example, if the command input through the first command input unit 150 is a destination search command, the control unit 170 executes a destination search function corresponding to the input command.

If the command input through the first command input unit 150 is a first command, the controller 170 operates the second command input unit 160 according to the input first command. In other words, the controller 170 activates the voice recognition function by operating the second command input unit 160 (e.g., a microphone or the like) as the first command is input.

At this time, the controller 170 activates the voice recognition function only while the first command is input through the first command input unit 150. [

In other words, if the first command is continuously inputted through the first command input unit 150, the control unit 170 activates the voice recognition function and transmits the first command through the first command input unit 150 When the input is stopped, the voice recognition function is deactivated.

If the first command is input through the touch of any point on the touch screen, the controller 170 activates the voice recognition function only while the touch is performed on the arbitrary point, And when it is released, the voice recognition function is deactivated.

Accordingly, the second command input unit 160 operates only when the first command for activating the voice recognition function is input through the first command input unit 150, thereby performing voice recognition.

At this time, in order to increase the voice recognition rate, only the voice desired by the user should be recognized. However, various voices may occur in the vicinity of the speech recognition apparatus 100 due to the use environment.

Accordingly, the control unit 170 blocks the audio output of the peripheral device located in the vicinity of the voice recognition device 100 as the voice recognition function is activated. For example, the control unit 170 blocks the output of the audio output device such as an audio device, a radio device or the like as the voice recognition function is activated.

For this purpose, the control unit 170 outputs a control signal for interrupting the audio output of the peripheral device through the wireless communication unit 110, and the peripheral devices output the audio signal being output by using the output control signal .

In the above description, the voice recognition function is activated only when the first command is input. However, the voice recognition function may be activated even when the first command is not input.

For example, the controller 170 may apply the speech recognition condition while the first command is input and the speech recognition condition during which the first command is not input, to the second command input unit 160, So that the voice recognition can be performed.

At this time, the speech recognition condition may include a sensitivity for performing speech recognition. The sensitivity is highly related to the speech recognition rate.

Accordingly, when the first command is not inputted, the controller 170 sets the sensitivity to the first level and lowers the voice recognition rate so that only the more accurate user voice is recognized. And adjusts the sensitivity to a second level higher than the first level at the time of input, thereby increasing the voice recognition rate.

Accordingly, in the embodiment, the voice recognition function is activated only at the time when the first command for activating the voice recognition function is inputted, thereby enhancing the detection rate for voice recognition and preventing malfunction due to the voice recognition mistake.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining a speech recognition method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the first command input unit 150 receives the first command, and transmits the first command to the controller 170 in step 110.

The control unit 170 activates the voice recognition function as the first command is input through the first command input unit 150 (operation 120). That is, when the first command is input through the first command input unit 150, the controller 170 operates the second command input unit 160 to recognize the user voice in operation 120.

At this time, the control unit 170 maintains or inactivates the activation of the voice recognition function depending on whether the first command is continuously input through the first command input unit 150.

The second command input unit 160 recognizes the second command according to the user's voice input from the outside as the voice recognition function is activated and transmits the recognized second command to the controller 170 in step 130 ).

At this time, the second command is recognized only at the time when the first command is continuously inputted, and the second command is transmitted to the controller 170. That is, when the input of the first command is canceled, the second command input unit 160 is inactivated, and thus the second command can not be recognized.

Accordingly, the second command input unit 160 recognizes the input of the second command only when the activation of the voice recognition function is maintained through the controller 170 as the first command is recognized.

The control unit 170 executes a function corresponding to the second instruction as the second instruction is transmitted through the second instruction input unit 160 (step 140).

Hereinafter, the speech recognition method shown in FIG. 2 will be described in more detail.

3 is a view for explaining a speech recognition activation method according to the embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3, a specific command is input through the first command input unit 150 (Step 210). At this time, the input command may be a first command for activating the voice recognition function, or may be a command other than the first command.

The first command input unit 150 transmits the input command to the controller 170 in response to the input of the specific command and the controller 170 recognizes the command transmitted through the first command input unit 150 Step 220).

If the command is recognized, the control unit 170 determines whether the recognized command is a first command for activating the voice recognition function or another command for executing a specific function instead of the first command ).

If the recognized command is a first command for activating the voice recognition function, the controller 170 activates the voice recognition function and displays a guidance screen informing that the voice recognition function is activated And outputs a guidance voice (Step 240).

4 is a view showing a guidance screen according to the embodiment.

That is, when the input of the first command is recognized, the control unit 170 transmits a message "Voice recognition function is activated while the first command is input" through the output unit 130, Quot; please "is displayed.

If the recognized command is a command other than the first command, the controller 170 performs an operation corresponding to the input command (operation 250).

For example, if the input command is an instruction to start route guidance, the control unit 170 starts destination announcement broadcasting corresponding to the command input from the user.

5 is a diagram for explaining an additional function according to the embodiment in which the voice recognition function is activated.

Referring to FIG. 5, the controller 170 activates the voice recognition function as the first command is input (step 310).

At this time, the control unit 170 blocks the surrounding speech in order to increase the detection rate of the speech recognition as the speech recognition function is activated. In other words, the control unit 170 transmits a voice output cutoff signal to a peripheral device (for example, an audio device, a radio, etc.) located in the vicinity of the voice recognition device 100 so as not to output voice through the peripheral device (Step 320).

Meanwhile, the controller 170 determines whether the first command is continuously input through the first command input unit 150 (step 330).

 In other words, the controller 170 determines whether the input of the first command is suspended (released) (operation 330).

If the input of the first command is stopped (step 330), the controller 170 deactivates the activated voice recognition function (step 340). In other words, the control unit 170 stops the operation of the second command input unit 160.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 170 displays the guidance screen informing that the input of the first command is stopped and the voice recognition function is inactivated.

Also, the control unit 170 cancels the audio output interruption of the peripheral device as the voice recognition function is deactivated (operation 350).

That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 170 displays a guidance screen informing that the audio output of the peripheral device is blocked as the first command is input.

At this time, the guidance screen may include a message informing that the audio output of the peripheral device is blocked as the voice recognition function is activated. Meanwhile, although FIG. 7 shows a guidance screen including only the message as described above, it may output the information of the blocked peripheral device only as an example.

8 is a view for explaining a sensitivity adjustment method of the speech recognition apparatus according to the embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 8, the controller 170 determines whether a first command is being input through the first command input unit 150 (step 410).

If it is determined in operation 410 that the first command is input through the first command input unit, the controller 170 increases the sensitivity for the speech recognition in operation 420.

In this case, the sensitivity may be the sensitivity of the microphone constituting the second command input unit 160. Increasing the sensitivity increases the voice recognition rate accordingly.

The controller 170 determines whether or not the first command input through the first command input unit 150 is stopped (step 430).

If the input of the first command is stopped, the controller 170 decreases the increased sensitivity to the original level (step 440). That is, although the speech recognition function is inactivated when the input of the first command is stopped, in another embodiment, only the sensitivity is reduced while the activation of the speech recognition function is maintained even if the input of the first command is stopped.

If the sensitivity of the speech recognition function is reduced, the second instruction input unit 160 recognizes only the more reliable user speech, thereby preventing a malfunction due to the speech recognition mistake.

That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the controller 170 displays a message indicating that the sensitivity of the speech recognition is increased as the first command is input.

Meanwhile, the above sensitivity can be set by the user.

That is, as shown in FIG. 10, a menu screen for setting a first sensitivity applied at a time when the first command is not input (normal) and a second sensitivity applied at a time when the first command is inputted .

The controller 170 stores the first sensitivity and the second sensitivity, which are set on the menu screen, in the memory, and then executes the voice recognition function by applying the first sensitivity and the second sensitivity.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
