Method and apparatus for managing voice registration entries of voice recognition apparatus for use in both handset and hands-free kit

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for managing voice registration entries such that a voice registration entry for a handset coincides with a voice registration entry for a hands-free kit.
To achieve the above and other objects, one aspect of the present invention provides a method for managing voice registration entries of a voice recognition apparatus for use in both a handset and a hands-free kit.
In the method, it is determined whether the handset is set to a hands-free mode where the handset is mounted on a cradle, thus connecting with the hands-free kit.
If the handset is set to the hands-free mode, a voice registration entry for the handset is compared with a voice registration entry for the hands-free kit to count the number difference of entries therebetween.
A voice recognition process is performed, if the number difference is a minimum value, e.
g.
, substantially zero.
If the number difference is larger than the minimum value, then a voice entry is registered for the hands-free kit, in response to a user confirmation.
If the entry difference is smaller than the minimum value, then a voice entry is registered for the handset, in response to a user confirmation.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of illustrative embodiments thereof, which is to be read in connection with the accompanying drawings in which the same reference numerals are used throughout the various figures to designate same or similar components.
