Voice recognition terminal, server, method of controlling server, voice recognition system, non-transitory storage medium storing program for controlling voice recognition terminal, and non-transitory storage medium storing program for controlling server

A server provided to be able to communicate with a voice recognition terminal capable of voice recognition for recognizing voice, comprising:

• a voice input reception portion receiving voice input from a user through said voice recognition terminal;
• a voice recognition portion carrying out voice recognition of the voice input received by said voice input reception portion;
• and
• a response processing execution instruction portion instructing said voice recognition terminal to perform processing for responding to said user based on a result of voice recognition of the voice input received by said voice input reception portion,
• said response processing execution instruction portion instructing said voice recognition terminal to switch from a normal mode in which said voice recognition terminal operates by selectively making use of an instruction from said server to a server mode instructing said voice recognition terminal to operate in accordance with the instruction from said server.

A method of controlling a server provided to be able to communicate with a voice recognition terminal capable of voice recognition for recognizing voice, comprising:

• receiving voice input from a user through said voice recognition terminal;
• carrying out voice recognition of the received voice input;
• and
• instructing said voice recognition terminal to perform processing for responding to said user based on a result of voice recognition of the received voice input,
• instructing said voice recognition terminal to perform processing for responding including indicating switching from a normal mode in which said voice recognition terminal operates by selectively making use of an instruction from said server to a server mode instructing said voice recognition terminal to operate in accordance with the instruction from said server.

A voice recognition system, comprising:

• a server capable of voice recognition for recognizing voice;
• and
• a voice recognition terminal provided to be able to communicate with said server,
• said voice recognition terminal including
• a voice input acceptance portion accepting voice input from a user,
• a voice recognition portion carrying out voice recognition of the voice input accepted by said voice input acceptance portion,
• a response processing execution portion performing processing for responding to said user based on a result of voice recognition of the voice input accepted by said voice input acceptance portion, and
• a communication portion transmitting the voice input accepted by said voice input acceptance portion to said server and receiving a result of voice recognition in said server, and
• said response processing execution portion performing the processing for responding to said user based on the result of voice recognition determined as more suitable, of the result of voice recognition by said voice recognition portion and the result of voice recognition received from said server.
