Abstract

Improving voice recognition when there exist interference noises in a configuration with an electrically operated appliance, a voice input unit, and a voice processing unit that derives control signals for controlling functions of the appliance from spoken input instructions includes an operating status detection unit detecting the operating status of the household appliance or other noise sources and signals such detection results to the voice processing unit, the voice processing unit performing an interference noise correction only if a noise source is switched on.
