A voice recognition apparatus includes a controller configured to recognize voice input from an occupant of a vehicle, and control a function according to the recognized voice input, the controller outputting notification that differs between a case in which the controller has not been able to recognize the voice input and a case in which the controller has recognized the voice input and the function is not available.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A voice recognition apparatus comprising a controller configured to: recognize voice input from an occupant of a vehicle; and control a function according to the recognized voice input, the controller outputting notification that differs between a case in which the controller has not been able to recognize the voice input and a case in which the controller has recognized the voice input and the function is not available. 2 . The voice recognition apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a communication interface configured to communicate with a server apparatus, wherein the controller is configured to transmit data identifying a vehicle type of the vehicle and data indicating the function to the server apparatus via the communication interface in the case in which the controller has recognized the voice input and the function is not available. 3 . The voice recognition apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to, upon recognizing the voice input, determine availability of the function with reference to definition data defining a plurality of functions and availability of each function. 4 . The voice recognition apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the definition data further includes data defining reasons for being not available with respect to one or more unavailable functions among the plurality of functions, and the controller is configured to include an explanation of a reason defined with respect to the function by the definition data in the notification in the case in which the controller has recognized the voice input and the function is not available. 5 . The voice recognition apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the definition data is data defining availability of each function according to a state of the vehicle.
