Voice command acceptance apparatus and voice command acceptance method

Abstract

A voice command acceptance apparatus includes a voice command acceptance unit that accepts a voice command, a detection unit that detects biological information on a person who speaks the voice command, and an execution control unit that, when the voice command acceptance unit accepts a voice command, executes a function with respect to the accepted voice command. When the detection unit determines that the biological information on the person indicates a calm state, the voice command acceptance unit accepts a voice command if a recognition rate of the voice command that is acquired by the voice command acceptance unit is equal to or larger than a first threshold, and when the detection unit determines that the biological information on the person indicates other than the calm state, the voice command acceptance unit accepts a voice command if the recognition rate of the voice command that is acquired by the voice command acceptance unit is equal to or larger than a second threshold that is smaller than the first threshold.
