ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, VOICE INPUT SENSITIVITY CONTROL METHOD, AND VOICE INPUT SENSITIVITY CONTROL PROGRAM

To provide an electronic apparatus, a voice input sensitivity control method, and a voice input sensitivity control program that reduce a possibility of voice recognition accuracy being lowered due to a usage state of a user.SOLUTION: An electronic apparatus, which is carried by a user and provided with voice input means, includes detection means for detecting a proximity state between the electronic apparatus and the user; and control means for controlling detection sensitivity of the voice input means according to a detection result by the detection means. Preferably, the detection means detects a mounting state of the electronic apparatus by the user, and the control means makes, when a non-mounting state is detected by the detection means, the detection sensitivity of the voice input means higher than the detection sensitivity of the voice input means in the mounting state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】ユーザの使用状態に起因して音声の認識精度が低下する可能性を、低減する。【解決手段】ユーザに携帯され音声入力手段を備える電子機器において、当該電子機器とユーザとの近接状態を検出する検出手段と、検出手段による検出結果に応じて、音声入力手段の検出感度を制御する制御手段と、を備えることを特徴とする電子機器が提供される。好ましくは、検出手段は、ユーザによる当該電子機器の装着状態を検出し、制御手段は、検出手段により未装着状態が検出された場合、音声入力手段の検出感度を、装着状態における音声入力手段の検出感度よりも高くする。【選択図】図５
