Abstract
The invention improves recognition rates by providing an interactive speech recognition device that performs recognition by taking situational and environmental changes into consideration, thus enabling interactions that correspond to situational and environmental changes. The invention comprises a speech analysis unit that creates a speech data pattern corresponding to the input speech; a timing circuit for generating time data, for example, as variable data; a coefficient setting unit receiving the time data from the timing circuit and generating weighting coefficients that change over time, in correspondence to the content of each recognition target speech; a speech recognition unit that receives the speech data pattern of the input speech from the speech analysis unit, and that at the same time obtains a weighting coefficient in effect for a pre-registered recognition target speech at the time from the coefficient setting unit, that computes final recognition data by multiplying the recognition data corresponding to each recognition target speech by its corresponding weighting coefficient, and that recognizes the input speech based on the computed final recognition result; a sp…
