Patent number: 11211067Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a transceiver and a hardware processor. The transceiver establishes a wired connection or a wireless connection between the electronic device and a wearable device wearable by a user. The hardware processor receives voice data generated by collecting speech of the user from the wearable device. The hardware processor performs a process to recognize one of one or more first commands from the voice data when a first mode is set as a voice recognition mode, performs a process to recognize one of second commands from the voice data when a second mode is set as the voice recognition mode, and repeatedly performs a process to recognize one of third commands from the voice data when a third mode is set as the voice recognition mode.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: DYNABOOK INC.Inventor: Midori Nakamae
