Publication number: 20170243580Abstract: A speech recognition system, which continuously recognizes speech uttered by at least one user and controls a navigation system on the basis of a recognition result, includes: a speech-operation-intention determination unit for determining—whether or not the user has made a recognized speech with the intention of operating the navigation system through speech; and a control mode altering unit for changing, when the speech-operation-intention determination unit determines that the user has no operation intention, the control mode of the navigation system in such a manner that the user is less aware of or pays less attention to the control mode than the case in which the speech-operation-intention determination unit determines that the user has an intention of operating the navigation system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2014Publication date: August 24, 2017Applicant: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Yuki FURUMOTO, Masanobu OSAWA, Takumi TAKEI, Naoya BABA

Publication number: 20170200448Abstract: Because an information providing system according to the present invention generates recognition object words for selecting one headline from a plurality of headlines in such a way that the recognition object words do not overlap one another, the information providing system can select a headline uniquely through the user's utterance, and present information (content) corresponding to the headline selected thereby, and therefore the convenience to the user is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2014Publication date: July 13, 2017Applicant: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Masanobu OSAWA, Takumi TAKEI, Yuki FURUMOTO, Tomohiro NARITA, Tatsuhiko SAITO

Patent number: 9644985Abstract: Because a navigation device that provides guidance on a moving route and displays map data on a display screen on the basis of the map data and the position of a moving object automatically acquires evaluation information for a point or a region from a recognition result and position information, and registers the evaluation information, the navigation device can leave an impression (evaluation) of the point or the region automatically and safely without requiring the user's special operation. Further, by adding the evaluation information to map data and displaying this map data at the time of use, the navigation device enables the user to revisit a point through which the user desires to pass once again, bypass a point through which the user desires to never pass again, and so on without requiring the user's work of consciously memorizing the impression of each point.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2012Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Takumi Takei, Yuki Furumoto

Patent number: 9514737Abstract: A navigation apparatus capable of providing a user not only with guidance, but also with all of the guidance, operational procedure, operation screen and recognition vocabulary, that is, with an operational transition that is defined by the guidance, operational procedure, operation screen and recognition vocabulary, while altering the operational transition in accordance with the recognition vocabulary comprehension level of the user. Thus, it can increase the possibility for a user with a low recognition vocabulary comprehension level to achieve a task, or for a user with a high recognition vocabulary comprehension level to improve the comfortableness of the operation, thereby being able to provide all the users with the optimum operational transition.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2011Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Takumi Takei, Yuki Furumoto

Publication number: 20160335051Abstract: According to a speech recognition device of the present invention, even in the case where there are many abutting sight-line detection areas or many overlapping portions between sight-line detection areas, as exemplified by the case where a plurality of icons (display objects) are congested on a display screen, it is possible to narrow down to thereby identify one icon (display object) efficiently using a sight line and a speech-based operation, and further to decrease false recognition, so that the user's convenience can be enhanced.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2014Publication date: November 17, 2016Applicant: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Masanobu OSAWA, Yuki FURUMOTO, Keisuke WATANABE, Takumi TAKEI

Publication number: 20160336009Abstract: According to an in-vehicle control apparatus, it is configured to receive information of a plurality of operation keys displayed on a display, to identify from a result of voice recognition of a user's speech, the operation key corresponding thereto on the basis of the information of the operation keys, and to execute a function assigned to the operation key upon receiving an instruction for execution by the user using a decision key, so that it is possible to perform an operation without making contact directly with the plurality of operation keys displayed on the display and without the need of a complex key operation. Further, solely by mounting just one decision key on a steering wheel, it becomes possible to safely perform the operation about the operation key displayed on the display without the user releasing his/her hand from the steering wheel during driving.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2014Publication date: November 17, 2016Applicant: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Takumi TAKEI, Taro KUMAGAI

Publication number: 20160216129Abstract: Because in a server for navigation that causes a navigation device mounted in a moving object to provide guidance on a moving route and display map data on the basis of the map data and the position of the moving object, from a recognition result of a user's utterance and position information, evaluation information about a point or is acquired automatically, an evaluation about the point can be left automatically and safely without requiring the user's special operation. Further, by adding the evaluation information to map data and displaying this map data at the time of use, the navigation system enables the user to revisit a point through which the user desires to pass once again, bypass a point through which the user desires to never pass again, and so on without requiring the user's work of consciously memorizing the impression about each point and so on.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2013Publication date: July 28, 2016Applicant: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Takumi TAKEI, Masanobu OSAWA, Ryosuke TORAMA, Yuki FURUMOTO
