Abstract
A speech recognition method in a system is provided that controls one or more devices by using speech recognition. The method includes obtaining speech information representing speech spoken by a user, and determining whether the speech is spoken to the one or more devices. The method also includes generating, in a case where it is determined that the speech is spoken to the one or more devices, an operation instruction for the one or more devices. The determining whether the speech is spoken to the one or more devices includes analyzing a sentence pattern of the character information, determining, in a case where the sentence pattern is interrogative or imperative, that the speech is spoken to the one or more devices, and determining, in a case where the sentence pattern is declarative or exclamatory, that the speech is not spoken to the one or more devices.
