倍率として制御量を登録しておく。First, words to be used for speech recognition are registered in the speech recognition section 2, which has several preset settings. The word meaning classification section 3 is set with information indicating whether the word registered in the speech recognition section 2 belongs to a basic word or an auxiliary word. A basic word is two words with contradictory meanings or a synonym added to them, and an auxiliary word is a declarative or negative word for the previously uttered word, or a word that expresses degree. In the first control amount setting section 4, the amount to be controlled for each basic word is registered as a value to be added or subtracted from before to after control. In the second control amount setting unit 5, a control amount is registered for each word of the auxiliary word as a multiplication factor after the control performed immediately before.
ボリュームの調節操作の例としては、「大きく」、「小
さく」を基本語として、「もう少し」を補助語として登
録しておく。調整量は、「大きく」は＋２０、「小さく
」は−２，０、「もう少し」は＋０，５を設定しておく
。As examples of volume adjustment operations, "louder" and "lower" are registered as basic words, and "a little more" is registered as an auxiliary word. The adjustment amount is set to +20 for "larger", -2.0 for "smaller", and +0.5 for "a little more".

報である単語が、基本語と補助語のどちらに属する単語
であるかを分類する。When word speech is input from the microphone 1, the speech recognition section 2 performs speech recognition and sends the recognition result information as a word to the meaning classification section 3. The word meaning classification unit 3 classifies whether the word, which is the recognition result information, belongs to a basic word or an auxiliary word.
基本語のときは、第１制御量設定部４に予め設定してお
いたその認識単語に対する値の分だけ制御を行う。また
、同時に、制御を行った量をメモリ６に記憶する。In the case of a basic word, control is performed by the value for the recognition word set in advance in the first control amount setting section 4. At the same time, the controlled amount is stored in the memory 6.
「太き（ｊか入力された場合は、ボリュームを現在の値

リ６に蓄えられていた直前の制御量（ここでは＋２０）
に街は合わせ、＋１．０の分だけボリュームを調節する
。また、同時にこの制御量＋１．０をメモリ６に蓄える
。In the case of a recognition result or an auxiliary word, when the word is sent from the meaning classification section 3 to the second control amount setting section 5, the previous control amount stored in the memory 6 is called and registered in advance to that value. Control is performed by multiplying the values set in advance. The control amount at this time is also stored in the memory 6. For example, when "a little more" is input, the control amount of this word, that is +05, is changed to the previous control amount stored in the memory 6 (+20 in this case).
, and adjust the volume by +1.0. At the same time, this control amount +1.0 is stored in the memory 6.
制御部７は、第１制御量設定部４または第２制御量設定
