Provided is a communication system including: an external communication unit configured to perform communication with an external communication device via a first communication network; a communication relay unit configured to perform communication with a mobile communication terminal via a second communication network to relay communication between the mobile communication terminal and the external communication device via the first communication network and the second communication network; and a communication control unit configured to execute captured image transmission processing for transmitting a captured image acquired by a camera to the external communication device by the external communication unit, and to execute mobile body relay processing for performing communication between the mobile communication terminal and the external communication device by the communication relay unit.

Communication system and communication method

A voice-controlled system is described that can be accessed by a mobile computing device. A user can communicate requests using natural language utterances. A microphone can collect the utterances and provide them to the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device can transmit the human utterance to a voice interface system. The voice interface system can utilize user preferences when executing the request to provide a personalized user experience. Computer-implemented methods are also described herein.

Voice interface systems and methods

When a voice input is detected as being applied to a directional microphone, sounds output from selected loudspeakers from among a plurality of loudspeakers, which otherwise would obstruct the speech recognition process, are attenuated, and sound signals supplied to the selected loudspeakers are combined with sound signals supplied to the other loudspeakers, and the combined sound signals are supplied to the other loudspeakers.

Speech recognition apparatus and vehicle incorporating speech recognition apparatus

An on-vehicle electronic control system has an input device for performing a plurality of manual input operations, wherein the input operations can be simultaneously and independently input; a processing device for independently processing the input operations and outputting respective processed results corresponding to the input operations; and a display device for independently showing the respective processed results. The display device may have a single display screen which is divided into a plurality of display sections for independently and simultaneously showing the respective processed results. The input device may have a microphone array including a plurality of microphones so as to simultaneously and independently perform a plurality of voice input operations. Typically, the input device assigns a task to any one of the input operations; and the processing device has a task content changing device for making the task be inherited and executed as a task assigned to another input operation.
