Abstract
A voice input apparatus inputs voice and detects proximity to the voice input apparatus. The voice input apparatus performs control to, in a case where a second voice instruction for operating the voice input apparatus is input in a fixed period after a first voice instruction for enabling operations by voice on the voice input apparatus is input, execute processing corresponding to the second voice instruction. In a case where proximity to the voice input apparatus is detected, the voice input apparatus executes processing corresponding to the second voice instruction when the second voice instruction is input, even in a case where the first voice instruction is not input.
Claims10
A voice input apparatus comprising:
- a voice input device configured to input voice;
- an approach detection device configured to detect proximity to the voice input apparatus;
- an image capture device configured to shoot images;
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory configured to store instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to function as:
- a control unit configured to perform control to:
- in a case where a second voice instruction for operating the voice input apparatus is input in a fixed period after a first voice instruction for enabling operations by voice on the voice input apparatus is input, execute processing corresponding to the second voice instruction;
- and
- in a case where proximity to the voice input apparatus is detected by the approach detection device, execute processing corresponding to the second voice instruction when the second voice instruction is input, even in a case where the first voice instruction is not input;
- and
- a display control unit configured to display, on a first display device or a second display device, information on an image that is shot by the image capture device,
- wherein the display control unit is configured to switch a display output destination of the image information between the first display device and the second display device based on whether proximity to the voice input apparatus is detected by the approach detection device.
A control method of a voice input apparatus, the voice input apparatus comprising a voice input device configured to input voice, an approach detection device configured to detect proximity to the voice input apparatus, and an image capture device configured to shoot images, the control method comprising:
- performing control to, in a case where a second voice instruction for operating the voice input apparatus is input in a fixed period after a first voice instruction for enabling operations by voice on the voice input apparatus is input, execute processing corresponding to the second voice instruction;
- performing control to, in a case where proximity to the voice input apparatus is detected by the approach detection device, execute processing corresponding to the second voice instruction when the second voice instruction is input, even in a case where the first voice instruction is not input;
- displaying, on a first display device or a second display device, information on an image that is shot by the image capture device;
- and
- switching a display output destination of the image information between the first display device and the second display device based on whether proximity to the voice input apparatus is detected by the approach detection device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions for performing a control method of a voice input apparatus, the voice input apparatus comprising a voice input device configured to input voice, an approach detection device configured to detect proximity to the voice input apparatus, and an image capture device configured to shoot images, the control method comprising:
- performing control to, in a case where a second voice instruction for operating the voice input apparatus is input in a fixed period after a first voice instruction for enabling operations by voice on the voice input apparatus is input, execute processing corresponding to the second voice instruction;
- performing control to, in a case where proximity to the voice input apparatus is detected by the approach detection device, execute processing corresponding to the second voice instruction when the second voice instruction is input, even in a case where the first voice instruction is not input;
- displaying, on a first display device or a second display device, information on an image that is shot by the image capture device;
- and
- switching a display output destination of the image information between the first display device and the second display device based on whether proximity to the voice input apparatus is detected by the approach detection device.
