Abstract
A microphone picks up a speech and outputs a speech signal. A lighting control unit recognizes the speech by performing speech recognition on the speech signal, thereby generating command data corresponding to the speech recognized. The lighting control unit controls a light fixture based on the command data. A state decision unit makes a state decision of the light fixture. A condition setting unit sets, depending on the state decision made by the state decision unit, a condition for a speech recognition unit to perform the speech recognition.
Claims17
A lighting control system comprising:
- a speech recognition unit configured to carry out speech processing, the speech processing including:
- performing speech recognition on a speech signal;
- and generating speech recognition information corresponding to a speech recognized;
- a lighting control unit configured to control a light fixture in accordance with the speech recognition information;
- a state decision unit configured to make a state decision of the light fixture which is at least one of an ON state, an OFF state, a light intensity control level, or a color tone;
- and
- a condition setting unit configured to set, depending on the state decision made by the state decision unit, a condition for the speech recognition unit to carry out the speech processing.
A lighting control system designed to receive speech recognition information corresponding to a speech recognized by a speech recognition unit, the speech recognition unit being configured to carry out speech processing, the speech processing including:
- performing speech recognition on a speech signal;
- and generating the speech recognition information, the lighting control system comprising:
- a lighting control unit configured to control a light fixture in accordance with the speech recognition information;
- a state decision unit configured to make a state decision of the light fixture which is at least one of an ON state, an OFF state, a light intensity control level, or a color tone;
- a condition setting unit configured to set, depending on the state decision made by the state decision unit, a condition for the speech recognition unit to carry out the speech processing;
- and
- a communications unit configured to output the speech signal and the state decision made by the state decision unit to the speech recognition unit and receive the speech recognition information from the speech recognition unit.
A lighting control method comprising:
- a speech recognition step of carrying out speech processing, the speech processing including:
- recognizing a speech by performing speech recognition on a speech signal;
- and generating speech recognition information corresponding to the speech recognized;
- a lighting control step of controlling a light fixture in accordance with the speech recognition information;
- a state decision step of making a state decision of the light fixture which is at least one of an ON state, an OFF state, a light intensity control level, or a color tone;
- and
- a condition setting step of setting, depending on the state decision made in the state decision step, a condition for carrying out the speech processing in the speech recognition step.
