Embodiment 1

[0043] Such as figure 1 As shown, this embodiment describes a method for adjusting voice based on user age, which is used in washing machines, and the steps include:

[0044] S1, the voice acquisition module acquires voice information, and sends the voice information to the controller;

[0045] S2, the controller determines the age of the voice sender according to the voice information;

[0046] S3, the controller controls the intelligent voice module to adjust the volume and sound speed of the sounder according to the age of the sounder.

[0047] In the above technical solution, when the user is using the washing machine, the washing machine first sends out a sound prompt, prompting the user to say a voice for the washing machine to perform sampling processing (for example, when the user turns on the switch of the washing machine, the washing machine sends out "I am glad to serve you, Please say a sentence and let me adjust the speech speed and volume that best suits you." ...

Embodiment 2

[0068] Such as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a washing machine, using the method for adjusting voice based on user age described in the first embodiment above, including: a controller 1, a voice acquisition module 2 and a sounder 3, and the voice acquisition module 2 and a sounder 3 are connected to the controller 1;

[0069] After the voice acquisition module 2 acquires the voice information, it sends the voice information to the controller 1, and the controller 1 analyzes the voice information to determine the age of the voice sender and adjust the volume and sound speed of the voice generator 3 according to the age of the voice sender .

[0070] Also includes: an intelligent voice module 4, the intelligent voice module 4 is connected with the controller 1, and the controller 1 controls the intelligent voice module 4 to adjust the volume and sound speed of the sound generator 3 according to the age of the voice sender.

[0071] Also comprise: the sound stora...

Embodiment 3

[0073] Plug in the power plug, turn on the power of the washing machine, turn on the intelligent language module, and enter the stage of voiceprint recognition first. At this time, the intelligent voice module will have a voice prompt, such as "I am very happy to serve you, please say a word and let me adjust myself to the most suitable speech speed and volume for you", the voice prompt here can also be Interact with the user in a question-and-answer mode, and then the user's speech and voice acquisition module performs voice input to obtain voice information. Here, a time limit can be set, such as 3 seconds or less, and the specific time is determined according to test analysis and verification.

[0074] After the voice information is obtained, the voice information is sent to the controller, and the controller will enter the voiceprint feature extraction stage. After the voiceprint feature extraction is completed, it is judged whether it is the voice of the elderly. The spee...
