Next, the inside of the display control circuit 17 will be explained in more detail based on FIG. In FIG. 4, 21 is a flip-flop circuit, 22 is a non-display data memory that stores data for non-displaying names, and 26 is a data selection for switching and outputting data according to a signal from the flip-flop circuit 21. The circuit includes a first driver circuit 24 for displaying name data, and a second driver circuit 25 for displaying character string data. Note that the same numbers as in FIG. 1 indicate the same components.

Next, the operation of the display control circuit 17 will be explained.

A signal C from the voice recognition circuit 11 and a search switch 6 are connected to terminals S and R of the flip-flop circuit 21, respectively.
A signal from a is input. That is, when there is a voice input, a High h (hereinafter abbreviated as H) signal is input to the terminal S, a signal of the terminal 11KLow (hereinafter abbreviated as LOW) is input, and when the search switch 6a is switched, the terminal S L signal.

A signal at terminal RKH is input. When a signal at the terminal SKH and an L signal are input to the terminal R, the Kubu flop circuit 21 outputs a signal from the terminal Q, and an L signal at the terminal S and a signal at the terminal RICH are input. When this occurs, an L signal is output from terminal Q.

If the flip-flop circuit 21 outputs an H signal, the data selection circuit 26 selects the data [[
1m is selected and outputted to the first driver circuit 24, and if the flip-flop circuit 21 is outputting an L signal, data l)o from the non-display data memory 22 is selected and outputted to the first driver circuit 24. Output.

The first driver circuit 24 converts and amplifies the data output from the data selection circuit 26 into an appropriate format, and displays the name data on the display panel B. However, when the data selection circuit 26 is outputting data [)o, the name is not displayed on the 1 display panel 3.

The second driver circuit 25 converts and amplifies the data Db from the character string memory 15 into an appropriate form, and causes the display panel B to display the character string data. Therefore, when calling by voice, both the name and character string are displayed.

When called using a search method, only character strings can be displayed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to one aspect of the present invention, as is clear from the above description.

In a voice recognition electronic device that has a search means, when called by voice, both the name and the character string are displayed, and when called by the search means, only the character string is displayed, so it is necessary to use the user's own voice. Unable to display both name and string.

Therefore, even if someone other than the user were to use the voice recognition electronic device, they would only be able to retrieve the character string using a search method, and would not know what the character string means because they do not know the name. I can't understand. This is very effective for memorizing character strings that you do not want others to know, such as ATM card PIN numbers and bank account numbers.

In addition, in places where the user's voice has changed due to a cold or where the noise is too loud (it is difficult to hear the voice), the search means can display the necessary character string.

In this case, the name is not displayed, but since the user himself or herself remembers the contents of the character string to some extent for use, displaying only the character string is sufficient for use.

As described above, the present invention provides excellent secrecy.

An easy-to-use voice recognition electronic device can be provided.
