Abstract:
1. An electronic instrument which performs speech recognition by an acoustic model pattern for speech information inputted from an outside, and which is controlled by command information obtained based on a result of the speech recognition, the electronic instrument comprising: a display control unit for displaying a control content corresponding to the command information based on the result of the speech recognition, on a display unit; an instruction unit for instructing that a control for the control content displayed on the display unit by the display control unit, is cancelled; a control unit for performing the control based on the command information based on the result of the speech recognition after a predetermined standby time elapses since the control content corresponding to the command information based on the result of the speech recognition starts to be displayed on the display unit by the display control unit when the instruction unit does not instruct that the control for the control content is cancelled within the predetermined standby time, and for canceling the control based on the command information based on the result of the speech recognition when the instruction unit instructs that the control for the control content is cancelled within the predetermined standby time; a shortening unit for shortening the standby time when a ratio of the number of executions in which one kind of the command information based on the result of the speech recognition is executed with respect to the number of displays in which a control content corresponding to the one kind of command information is displayed on the display unit by the display control unit, exceeds a first set value; a command information storage unit for storing the one kind of command information and a plurality of the acoustic model patterns so as to refer the one kind of command information to the plurality of the acoustic model patterns; and a command information deletion unit for deleting one acoustic model pattern relating to the one kind of command information from the command information storage unit when a ratio of the number of cancellations in which the one kind of command information based on the result of the speech recognition by the one acoustic model pattern is cancelled with respect to the number of displays in which the control content corresponding to the one kind of command information is displayed on the display unit by the display control unit, exceeds a second set value.
