Abstract: A vehicle includes a communication device configured to communicate with a terminal capable of providing a communication function; a sensor configured to receive voice of a user; a storage configured to store a user pattern related to a call pattern of the user; and a controller configured to search for at least one name candidate corresponding to input voice when receiving the input voice, determine a threshold for a confidence score of the at least one name candidate based on the user pattern, and select a name corresponding to the input voice from among the at least one name candidate based on the determined threshold.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for recognizing speech in a vehicle. The method for recognizing the speech in the vehicle may include collecting one or more types of information, determining information to be linked with each other for speech recognition based on an information processing priority predefined corresponding to each type of the collected information, analyzing the determined information to perform the speech recognition for a signal input through a microphone, and extracting at least one of a wake up voice or a command voice through the speech recognition to control the vehicle. Therefore, the present disclosure has an advantage of more accurately performing the speech recognition by linking collected various information in the vehicle with each other.

Abstract: A conversation guidance method of a speech recognition system may include managing a user domain based on speech recognition function information and situation information corrected from a system mounted on a vehicle, generating a conversation used for speech recognition based on the user domain, and guiding a user with the generated conversation.

Abstract: An apparatus for determining a reliability of a recommendation based on an environment of a vehicle may include: an input device configured to detect a sound in the vehicle; a storage configured to store information associated with the sound; an output device configured to output information associated with a recommendation action; and a controller electrically connected with the input device, the storage, and the output device.

Abstract: A dialogue processing apparatus and method monitor an intensity of an acoustic signal that is input in real time and determine that speech recognition has started, when the intensity of the input acoustic signal is equal to or greater than a reference value, allowing a user to start speech recognition by an utterance without an additional trigger. A vehicle can include the apparatus and method. The apparatus includes: a monitor to compare an input signal level with a reference level in real time and to determine that speech is input when the input signal level is greater than the reference level; a speech recognizer to output a text utterance by performing speech recognition on the input signal when it is determined that the speech is input; a natural language processor to extract a domain and a keyword based on the utterance; and a dialogue manager to determine whether a previous context is maintained based on the domain and the keyword.

Abstract: A voice end-point detection device, a system and a method are provided. The voice end-point detection system includes a processor that is configured to determine an end-point detection time to detect an end-point of speaking of a user that varies vary for each user and for each domain. The voice end-point detection system is configured to perform voice recognition and a database (DB) is configured to store data for the voice recognition by the processor.

Abstract: An outgoing call control method for an in-vehicle head unit equipped with a voice recognition function includes connecting Bluetooth communication with a user device when vehicle is powered on. Whether or not an existing voice recognition database is present is checked. Phone book information is downloaded from the user device through the connected Bluetooth communication. Voice recognition for an outgoing call is performed using the existing voice recognition database during download of the phone book information if the existing voice recognition database is present.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling an outgoing call during download of phone book information are provided. The method includes setting, by a controller, a communication channel with a user device when a vehicle is powered on. Additionally, the method includes transmitting, by the controller, a predetermined phone book download request signal to the user device via the set communication channel. The method may further include downloading, by the controller, new phone book information from the user device via the set communication channel. Furthermore, the method includes completing an outgoing call service request from a user using existing phone book information while new phone book information is downloaded.
