[0030] Example

[0031] In the present invention, the socket accessories and the socket body of the split intelligent voice socket can be powered by contact or by wireless charging. The structural difference between the two has been described in detail in the above technical scheme. As a specific implementation method, this embodiment takes the contact power supply method as an example to explain this scheme in detail, that is, elastic contacts and contacts are respectively set on the socket body and the socket accessories. It should be understood that simple replacement or modification of the product structure for contact power supply, wireless charging and compatibility of the two charging methods should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.

[0032] In general application environments, the socket accessories of the smart socket can be adsorbed on both sides of the socket body by magnets, and then plugged into a fixed socket at home for use as a whole. At this time, the two microphones on the left and right socket accessories form a microphone array, which is used as the microphone of the entire socket, while the backup microphone in the socket body can be disabled (when the voice data transmitted by the socket accessories cannot be received via Bluetooth, the socket body can independently receive external voice commands), and the main speaker in the socket body is used for external voice broadcasting. Generally, smart sockets are relatively small, and the microphone array requires a sufficient distance between the two microphones. Therefore, most smart sockets are limited by size and can only use a single microphone. In the design of the present invention, due to the long distance between the two socket accessories, dual microphones can be used and their arrays meet the acoustic distance requirements, which greatly improves the voice wake-up rate and recognition rate of the smart socket.

[0033] In the case of a very noisy application environment (such as a kitchen), affected by the noise of the motor fan of the range hood, cooking and flushing water flow, etc., it is often difficult for a general socket to accurately receive and execute the user's voice command. At the same time, the voice broadcast of the socket will also be affected, making it difficult for the user to hear the voice content of the broadcast. The smart socket disclosed in the present invention can support split use at this time. The user can easily remove the left and right socket accessories of the socket and wear them on the ears. At this time, the socket accessories are used as Bluetooth headphones, automatically establish a Bluetooth connection and communicate with the socket body, and the socket accessories are powered by their own batteries. The main speaker on the socket body stops playing externally, and the speaker on the socket accessories is used to play the voice instead. Since the microphone on the socket accessory is used to obtain the user's voice command at a close distance, the acquired external voice data is transmitted to the socket body via Bluetooth, and the broadcast content emitted by the socket body is transmitted to the socket accessory via Bluetooth and the speaker on the socket accessory realizes close-range broadcasting, which overcomes the noise interference in the surrounding noisy environment, significantly improves the voice wake-up rate and recognition rate, and can realize effective communication and interaction between the user and the smart socket.

[0034] In the early morning or at night when someone is sleeping or studying and a quiet environment is required, in order to avoid the voice broadcast of the smart socket affecting other people, the smart socket of the present invention can also be used separately. At this time, the main speaker on the socket body stops playing, and the microphone and speaker on the socket accessories are used to obtain and play voice at a close distance, which can effectively reduce the sound intensity of voice commands and socket voice broadcasts to prevent disturbing others. The socket accessories in the present invention can be used independently as ordinary Bluetooth headsets, and the socket body can also work independently. In addition, the left and right socket accessories support one of them to be used alone, and the other is charged in turn or used by two people at the same time.

[0035] In summary, the split intelligent voice socket disclosed in the present invention can be used as a whole socket, and the left and right socket accessories can be removed and used independently from the socket body. When the socket is used as a whole, the microphones of the left and right socket accessories can form a microphone array, which greatly improves the voice wake-up rate and recognition rate of the intelligent socket; in a noisy environment, the socket accessories can be removed and used as ordinary Bluetooth headphones, and close-range voice acquisition and broadcasting significantly reduce the impact of surrounding noise, and improve the accuracy of voice control and voice interaction; the independent use of the socket accessories and the socket body in a quiet environment can effectively avoid the voice broadcast of the intelligent socket from affecting others and causing interference to others; on the other hand, the left and right socket accessories of the present invention support separate use, and one of them can be used in rotation, and the other can be used for charging and other operations, and it also supports two people using it at the same time; due to the split design of the socket based on Bluetooth, the socket can be installed outside the kitchen away from oil smoke and water vapor and meet the user's kitchen intelligent control needs, thereby extending the service life of the socket and ensuring its long-term use quality.

[0036] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
