METADATA SEARCH APPARATUS AND METHOD USING SPEECH RECOGNITION, AND IPTV RECEIVING APPARATUS USING THE SAME

摘要

A metadata search apparatus using speech recognition includes a metadata processor for processing contents metadata to obtain allomorph of target vocabulary required for speech recognition and search; a metadata storage unit for storing the contents metadata; a speech recognizer for performing speech recognition on speech data uttered by a user by searching the allomorph of the target vocabulary; a query language processor for extracting a keyword from the vocabulary speech-recognized by the speech recognizer; and a search processor for searching the metadata storage unit to extract the contents metadata corresponding to the keyword. An IPTV receiving apparatus employs the metadata search apparatus to provide IPTV services through the functions of speech recognition.
