Abstract

Arrangements, including a method of speech command management that changes a content of active speech commands and inactive speech commands, based on each application status in a terminal. When plural applications are active and when a user is interacting with one of the active applications, the provided speech command management makes the content of recognizable speech commands to be limited to local commands of an interacting application, and also global commands of other background applications. Also, the provided management arrangement makes the content of recognizable global speech commands based on each application status. This management arrangement reduces the number of recognizable speech commands, and thus prevents misrecognitions inducted by using many speech commands.
