A vehicle control apparatus and method use speech recognition and include: a passenger recognizing device configured to recognize passengers including a first passenger and at least one second passenger in a vehicle; a voice recognizing device configured to receive and to recognize a voice utterance by the first passenger or the at least one second passenger and to output a speech recognition result based on the received voice utterance; and a processor configured to additionally query the at least one second passenger or the first passenger based on the speech recognition result of the voice utterance of the first passenger or the at least one second passenger, respectively, to provide each of the first passenger and the at least one second passenger with a customized service.

Vehicle control apparatus and method using speech recognition

A voice command recognition device and a method thereof are provided. The voice command recognition device includes a processor that registers one or more voice commands selected by analysis of one or more voice commands repeatedly used by a user or a voice command utterance pattern of the user to generate one package command and a storage storing data or an algorithm for speech recognition by the processor.

Voice command recognition device and method thereof

Apparatus and method for processing speech recognition may include a speech recognition module that recognizes a voice uttered from a user, and a processing module that calls a user DB where information associated with the user is registered when a voice command of the user is input by the speech recognition module, verifies setting information related to a domain corresponding to the voice command, and processes the voice command through a content provider linked to the associated domain.

Apparatus and method for processing speech recognition

A conversation guidance method of a speech recognition system may include managing a user domain based on speech recognition function information and situation information corrected from a system mounted on a vehicle, generating a conversation used for speech recognition based on the user domain, and guiding a user with the generated conversation.

Conversation guidance method of speech recognition system

A speech processing apparatus includes a speech processor for acquiring information on a relationship between a first user and a second user on the basis of a spoken language of the first user, a storage for storing a first user database (DB) that includes personal information of the second user identified by a second identification tag and a second user DB that includes personal information of the first user identified by a first identification tag, and a DB managing processor for updating the first user DB and the second user DB based on the acquired information on the relationship between the first user and the second user.

Speech processing apparatus, vehicle having the speech processing apparatus, and speech processing method

An apparatus configured for correcting an utterance error of a user, which is configured for extracting a sematic frame with high accuracy even though the utterance of the user is incomplete, and a method thereof may include a voice activity detector configured to extract a voice after distinguishing a voice part and a mute part in a user utterance; a voice recognizer configured to output a text corresponding to the voice extracted by the voice activity detector after recognizing the voice; a named-entity recognizer configured to recognize a named entity of each text output from the voice recognizer; a text normalizer configured to normalize each text based on the named entity of each text recognized by the named entity recognizer; and a text determiner configured to determine a final text among normalized texts.

Apparatus for correcting utterance error of user and method thereof

A voice recognition device for a vehicle includes: an input device receiving a command and a negative interjection uttered by a user, converting the command into a first voice signal, and converting the negative interjection into a second voice signal; a storage device storing a negative context, an interjection context, and an acoustic model; and a control device receiving the first voice signal, detecting a first start point and a first end point of the first voice signal, receiving the second voice signal after the detection of the first start point and the first end point of the first voice signal, detecting a second start point and a second end point of the second voice signal, and recognizing the second voice signal based on at least one of the negative context, the interjection context, and the acoustic model when the reception of the first voice signal and the second voice signal is completed.

Voice recognition device and method for vehicle

A vehicle-mounted voice recognition device includes: a storage configured to store a plurality of databases for voice recognition generated based on an address book database sent from a terminal device; a processor configured to detect at least one element from the plurality of databases for voice recognition and determine an order of displaying contact information corresponding to the at least one element; and a user interface configured to display the contact information corresponding to the at least one element in the order of displaying and receive a selection of a piece of the contact information from a user. The processor is further configured to detect a database among the plurality of databases for voice recognition, the detected database including an element corresponding to the selected piece of contact information, and re-determine the order of displaying the contact information based on detection frequencies of the plurality of databases for voice recognition.

A voice end-point detection device, a system and a method are provided. The voice end-point detection system includes a processor that is configured to determine an end-point detection time to detect an end-point of speaking of a user that varies vary for each user and for each domain. The voice end-point detection system is configured to perform voice recognition and a database (DB) is configured to store data for the voice recognition by the processor.

Voice end-point detection device, system and method

An outgoing call control method for an in-vehicle head unit equipped with a voice recognition function includes connecting Bluetooth communication with a user device when a vehicle is powered on. Whether or not an existing voice recognition database is present is checked. Phone book information is downloaded from the user device through the connected Bluetooth communication. Voice recognition for an outgoing call is performed using the existing voice recognition database during download of the phone book information if the existing voice recognition database is present.

Method and apparatus for controlling outgoing call in vehicle equipped with voice recognition function

A method and apparatus for controlling an outgoing call during download of phone book information are provided. The method includes setting, by a controller, a communication channel with a user device when a vehicle is powered on. Additionally, the method includes transmitting, by the controller, a predetermined phone book download request signal to the user device via the set communication channel. The method may further include downloading, by the controller, new phone book information from the user device via the set communication channel. Furthermore, the method includes completing an outgoing call service request from a user using existing phone book information while new phone book information is downloaded.
