Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a system, server, and method for speech recognition capable of collectively setting a plurality of setting items for device control through an utterance of a single sentence provided in the form of natural language. The system includes: a home appliance configured to receive a speech command that is generated through an utterance of a single sentence for control of the home appliance; and a server configured to receive the speech command in the single sentence from the home appliance and interpret the speech command of the single sentence through multiple intent determination.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A speech recognition system for a home appliance, comprising: the home appliance configured to: activate a speech recognition device installed in the home appliance based on receiving a predetermined triggering word from a user, and receive an utterance of a single sentence including a plurality of intents for control of the home appliance while the speech recognition device is activated; and a server configured to: receive the utterance from the home appliance, interpret the utterance through a multiple intent determination including a plurality of functions to be performed by the home appliance and a plurality of options each of which is a value to be set in the home appliance when the home appliance performs the function, wherein a higher priority for recognition of functions in the multiple intent determination is assigned to data representing operations having a higher frequency of use in the home appliance, and transmit a control command to the home appliance based on the multiple intent determination. 2. A speech recognition method for a home appliance, comprising: activating a speech recognition device installed in the home appliance based on receiving a predetermined triggering word from a user; receiving an utterance of a single sentence including a plurality of intents for control of the home appliance while the speech recognition device is activated; transmitting the utterance to an external speech recognition server; and receiving a control command from the external speech recognition server, wherein the control command comprises a plurality of functions to be performed by the home appliance and a plurality of options each of which is a value to be set in the home appliance when the home appliance performs the function, and wherein a higher priority for recognition of the plurality of functions in a multiple intent determination is assigned to data representing operations having a higher frequency of use in the home appliance.
