Abstract

There is provided an information processing device including an analysis unit configured to analyze a character string indicating contents of utterance obtained as a result of speech recognition, and a display control unit configured to display the character string indicating the contents of the utterance and an analysis result on a display screen.

Claims (37)

1. An information processing device comprising:

processing circuitry configured to analyze a character string indicating contents of utterance to obtain a word included in the character string indicating an action, the character string being obtained as a result of speech recognition performed on the utterance; and

display control circuitry configured to display the character string indicating the contents of the utterance and to display an application and/or a service corresponding to the contents of the utterance on a display screen,

wherein

the application and/or the service corresponds to the action of the analysis result, and

the display control circuitry is configured to display the application and/or the service on the display screen in a manner such that the application and/or the service are/is emphasized on the display screen.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display control circuitry is configured to identify the application or the service with reference to a table associating the action of the analysis result with the application or the service.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the display control circuitry is configured to determine a candidate of the application to be displayed on the display screen and/or a candidate of the service to be displayed on the display screen on the basis of performance information indicating performance of the device.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to execute a process related to an application or a service corresponding to the contents of the utterance from among the application and/or the service corresponding to the contents of the utterance displayed on the display screen.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processing circuitry is configured to set a score with respect to the character string indicating the contents of the utterance on the basis of a result of syntactic analysis performed on the character string indicating the contents of the utterance or on the basis of a result of semantic analysis performed on the result of the syntactic analysis and the character string indicating the contents of the utterance.

6. The information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to execute a content search process that uses the character string indicating the contents of the utterance, as a process related to the selected service corresponding to the contents of the utterance,

in a case in which the score larger than a reference value or the score equal to or larger than the reference value does not exist, the processing circuitry is configured to execute the content search process using the entire character string indicating the contents of the utterance, and

in a case in which the score larger than the reference value or the score equal to or larger than the reference value exists, the processing circuitry is configured to execute the content search process using one or more parts of the character string having the larger score among the character string indicating the contents of the utterance.

7. The information processing device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the processing circuitry is configured to determine whether or not a word indicating tense is included in the character string indicating the contents of the utterance, and

wherein, in a case in which the determination indicates that a word indicating tense is included in the character string indicating the contents of the utterance, the processing circuitry is configured to execute the content search process on the basis of the word indicating the tense.

8. An information processing method comprising:

analyzing a character string indicating contents of utterance to obtain a word included in the character string indicating an action, the character string being obtained as result of speech recognition performed on the utterance; and

displaying the character string indicating the contents of the utterance, and displaying an application and/or a service corresponding to the contents of the utterance on a display screen,

wherein

the application and/or a service corresponds to the action of the analysis result, and

the displaying the application and/or the service on the display screen is performed in a manner such that the application and/or the service are/is emphasized on the display screen.

9. The information processing method according to claim 8 , further comprising identifying the application or the service with reference to a table associating the action of the analysis result with the application or the service.

10. The information processing method according to claim 8 , wherein a candidate of the application to be displayed on the display screen and/or a candidate of the service to be displayed on the display screen is determined on the basis of performance information.

11. The information processing method according to claim 8 , further comprising executing a process related to an application or a service corresponding to the contents of the utterance from among the application and/or the service corresponding to the contents of the utterance displayed.

12. The information processing method according to claim 8 , further comprising setting a score with respect to the character string indicating the contents of the utterance on the basis of a result of syntactic analysis performed on the character string indicating the contents of the utterance or on the basis of a result of semantic analysis performed on the result of the syntactic analysis and the character string indicating the contents of the utterance.

13. The information processing method according to claim 12 , further comprising:

executing a content search process that uses the character string indicating the contents of the utterance, as a process related to the selected service corresponding to the contents of the utterance,

wherein

in a case in which the score larger than a reference value or the score equal to or larger than the reference value does not exist, the content search process is executed using the entire character string indicating the contents of the utterance, and

in a case in which the score larger than the reference value or the score equal to or larger than the reference value exists, the content search process is executed using one or more parts of the character string having the larger score among the character string indicating the contents of the utterance.

14. The information processing method according to claim 13 , further comprising:

determining whether or not a word indicating tense is included in the character string indicating the contents of the utterance,

wherein, in a case in which the determination indicates that a word indicating tense is included in the character string indicating the contents of the utterance, the content search process is executed on the basis of the word indicating the tense.
