Abstract

See full text

In a method for controlling an external machine by a voice command, a voice pattern which is extracted from a voice supplied through a microphone is compared with reference voice patterns to pick up one of them which corresponds to a certain voice command to control an external machine, and a similarity between the voice pattern and the reference voice pattern is calculated. Then, a control signal is supplied to the external machine after a waiting time passes. The waiting time is determined dependent on the similarity such that the waiting time is relatively long when the similarity is low and is determined relatively short when the similarity is high, so that an operator has a sufficient time to judge whether the voice command is the desired one.
