DEVICE IN WHICH SELECTION IS ACTIVATED BY VOICE AND METHOD IN WHICH SELECTION IS ACTIVATED BY VOICE

摘要

A device where selection is made by voice, the device having an output section (101) for outputting a guiding voice for guiding a selection item; a voice recognition section (106) for recognizing a selection instruction for selecting the selection item, the selection instruction being vocalized during the output of the guiding voice outputted by the output section (101) or after the completion of the output; and a dialog-control and result-selection section (107) for selecting, when the selection instruction is recognized by the voice recognition section (106), the selection item to which the selection instruction is given. When a voice for selecting a selection item is vocalized while a guiding voice is outputted by the output section (101) or is vocalized when the guiding voice is outputted by the time a predetermined time has passed after the completion of the output, the selection item can be selected by the voice recognition section (106) and the selection can be made even while the guiding voice is outputted.
