[0028] As mentioned in the background technology, in the prior art, the answering sound of the voice control device in a specific scenario interferes with others and affects the user experience. In order to solve the above problem, in a typical embodiment of the present application, a smart home volume control method, a volume control device, a computer-readable storage medium, a processor and an electronic device are provided.

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present application, a volume control method for a smart home is provided.

[0030] Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of a volume control method for a smart home according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0031] Step S101, when a voice wake-up command is received, obtaining a current working mode of the smart home, where the current working mode includes a low volume mode and a non-low volume mode;

[0032] Step S102, determining the answering volume according to at least one of a minimum volume threshold and a current media playback volume and the current working mode, wherein the minimum volume threshold is a preset minimum volume value of the smart home, and the current media playback volume is a volume for playing multimedia currently set by the smart home;

[0033] Step S103, controlling the smart home to answer at the answering volume.

[0034] In the above-mentioned smart home volume control method, first, upon receiving a voice wake-up command, the current working mode of the above-mentioned smart home is obtained, and the above-mentioned current working mode includes a low volume mode and a non-low volume mode; then, according to at least one of the minimum volume threshold and the current media playback volume and the above-mentioned current working mode, the answering volume is determined, and the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold is the preset minimum volume value of the above-mentioned smart home, and the above-mentioned current media playback volume is the volume of multimedia playback currently set by the above-mentioned smart home; finally, the above-mentioned smart home is controlled to answer with the above-mentioned answering volume. Compared with the problem in the prior art that the voice control device is mistakenly awakened in a specific scene (such as a late night scene or a do not disturb scene), the answering sound volume is too loud, which interferes with others and affects the user experience, the volume control method of the above-mentioned smart home of the present application can intelligently adjust the answering volume according to the current working mode of the smart home, avoiding the problem that the answering sound of the voice device is too loud in a specific scene, which interferes with others, and ensures a good user experience.

[0035] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and that, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0036] In actual application, the low-volume mode is a working mode corresponding to specific scenes, including late-night scenes and do-not-disturb scenes such as sleeping, studying and working. The non-low-volume mode is a working mode corresponding to scenes other than the above-mentioned specific scenes.

[0037] According to a specific embodiment of the present application, the answering volume is determined according to at least one of the minimum volume threshold and the current media playback volume and the current working mode, including: when the current working mode is the low volume mode, the minimum volume threshold is determined as the answering volume. This further ensures that the answering volume of the smart home is suitable for the current low volume mode environment, thereby further ensuring a good user experience.

[0038] Specifically, the above method can determine the above current working mode by obtaining user settings, such as the user independently setting the time period corresponding to the do not disturb mode, sleep mode and other low volume modes, and determine the current working mode according to the time period; the above method can also obtain the current time and automatically determine the current working mode according to the current time. For example, if the current time is 24 o'clock, it is determined that the above current working mode corresponding to the current time is the low volume mode; if the current time is 14 o'clock, it is determined that the above current working mode corresponding to the current time is the non-low volume mode.

[0039] In order to further ensure that the answering volume meets the user's needs in the low volume mode, in another specific embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold includes a minimum playback volume value and a minimum answering volume value, the above-mentioned minimum playback volume value is the minimum media playback volume, and the above-mentioned minimum answering volume value is the minimum answering volume. When the above-mentioned current working mode is the above-mentioned low volume mode, determining the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold as the above-mentioned answering volume includes: determining whether the above-mentioned minimum playback volume value is greater than the above-mentioned minimum answering volume value; when the above-mentioned minimum playback volume value is greater than the above-mentioned minimum answering volume value, determining the above-mentioned minimum answering volume value as the above-mentioned answering volume; when the above-mentioned minimum playback volume value is less than or equal to the above-mentioned minimum answering volume value, determining the above-mentioned minimum playback volume value as the above-mentioned answering volume. By dividing the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold into two minimum volumes, namely, the above-mentioned minimum playback volume value and the minimum answering volume value, and the working mode is in the low volume mode, the answering volume is the smaller value between the two, further ensuring that the answering volume in this case meets the user's low volume mode requirements, further ensuring that in specific scenarios such as late night scenarios, the answering volume is small and will not wake up others who are sleeping deeply, and further ensuring a good user experience.

[0040] When the working mode is a non-low volume mode, according to another specific embodiment of the present application, the answering volume is determined according to at least one of the minimum volume threshold and the current media playback volume and the above-mentioned current working mode, and it also includes: when the above-mentioned current working mode is the above-mentioned non-low volume mode, determining whether the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold is greater than the above-mentioned current media playback volume; when the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold is greater than the above-mentioned current media playback volume, determining the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold as the above-mentioned answering volume, and when the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold is less than or equal to the above-mentioned current media playback volume, determining the above-mentioned current media playback volume as the above-mentioned answering volume. This further ensures that in the non-low volume mode, the answering volume can be heard clearly by the user, and further ensures a better user experience.

[0041] In another specific embodiment of the present application, the volume control process of the smart home obtained according to the above method of the present application is as follows:

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, firstly, a minimum volume threshold is set, and the minimum volume threshold includes a minimum playback volume value and a minimum answering volume value;

[0043] Then, the answering volume can be set in two situations depending on whether it is in low volume mode or not;

[0044] In the case where the current working mode is the low volume mode, determining whether the minimum playback volume value is greater than the minimum answering volume value; in the case where the minimum playback volume value is greater than the minimum answering volume value, determining the minimum answering volume value to be the answering volume; in the case where the minimum playback volume value is less than or equal to the minimum answering volume value, determining the minimum playback volume value to be the answering volume;

[0045] When the current working mode is the non-low volume mode, determine whether the minimum volume threshold is greater than the current media playback volume; when the minimum volume threshold is greater than the current media playback volume, determine the minimum volume threshold as the response volume; when the minimum volume threshold is less than or equal to the current media playback volume, determine the current media playback volume as the response volume.

[0046] According to a specific embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: in the case of receiving a first voice command for adjusting the volume, adjusting the answering volume at least according to the current working mode and the first voice command. In the case of receiving a voice command for adjusting the volume, the answering volume is adjusted according to the current working mode and the first voice command, which further ensures that the adjusted answering volume is consistent with the current working mode, avoiding the problem of the adjusted answering volume being too high in the characteristic mode due to false triggering, affecting the user experience.

[0047] In order to further avoid the problem of a large adjusted answer volume due to accidental triggering of the smart home in low volume mode, according to another specific embodiment of the present application, when a first voice command for adjusting the volume is received, the answer volume is adjusted at least according to the current working mode and the first voice command, including: when the current working mode is the non-low volume mode, adjusting the answer volume according to the first voice command; when the current working mode is the low volume mode, determining the command content of the first voice command; when the command content is to adjust the volume to a first target volume, adjusting the answer volume according to the first target volume and the minimum volume threshold; when the command content is to turn down the volume and does not indicate turning down the volume to a second target volume, that is, when the command content is to turn down the volume and does not indicate a specific value of the turn down, adjusting the answer volume according to the first voice command.

[0048] Specifically, when the current working mode is the low volume mode, and the instruction content is to increase the volume and does not indicate increasing the volume to the fourth target volume, that is, when the voice instruction received in the low volume mode is to directly increase the volume and does not indicate a specific value to increase the volume, the first voice instruction is not executed. This further avoids the problem of voice erroneously triggering the response volume to be increased in the low volume mode, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0049] It should be noted that the values ​​of the first target volume, the second target volume and the fourth target volume may be the same or different.

[0050] According to another specific embodiment of the present application, when the content of the above-mentioned instruction is to adjust the volume to the first target volume, the above-mentioned answering volume is adjusted according to the above-mentioned first target volume and the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold, including: when the content of the above-mentioned instruction is to adjust the volume to the above-mentioned first target volume, determine whether the above-mentioned first target volume is greater than the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold; when the above-mentioned first target volume is less than or equal to the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold, adjust the above-mentioned answering volume to the above-mentioned first target volume; when the above-mentioned first target volume is greater than the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold, adjust the above-mentioned answering volume according to the determination information, the above-mentioned determination information is information generated to determine whether the second voice instruction is received within a predetermined period of time, the above-mentioned second voice instruction is an instruction to characterize the adjustment of the volume to the third target volume, and the above-mentioned third target volume is greater than the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold. In the low volume mode, if the first target volume is less than or equal to the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold, the answering volume is adjusted to the first target volume, ensuring that the answering volume is small in the low volume mode. If the first target volume is greater than the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold, the above-mentioned second voice instruction will only be executed if the above-mentioned second voice instruction is received again within the predetermined time period, so as to further prevent voice misoperation and further ensure that the answering sound meets the user's low volume mode requirements.

[0051] Specifically, the first target volume and the third target volume may be the same or different, as long as both the first target volume and the third target volume are greater than the minimum volume threshold.

[0052] According to another specific embodiment of the present application, when the first target volume is greater than the minimum volume threshold, the answering volume is adjusted according to the determination information, including: when the first target volume is greater than the minimum volume threshold, and the determination information is that the second voice command is received within the predetermined period, the answering volume is adjusted to the third target volume; when the first target volume is greater than the minimum volume threshold, and the determination information is that the second voice command is not received within the predetermined period, the first voice command is not executed. In the low volume mode, by reconfirming the information, the voice misoperation problem is further avoided, and the answering sound is further ensured to meet the user's needs.

[0053] It should be noted that the above method is a method for adjusting the answering volume through voice commands. In actual application, in order to quickly adjust the answering volume to the required volume, the user can quickly and conveniently adjust the answering volume to the required value by operating on the operation page of the smart home or by remotely controlling the smart home.

[0054] In another specific embodiment of the present application, the volume adjustment process of the smart home obtained according to the above method of the present application is as follows:

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, firstly, a first voice instruction is received, the instruction content of which is to adjust the volume to a first target volume;

[0056] Then, a minimum volume threshold is set, and it is determined whether the current working mode is a low volume mode. If the current working mode is a low volume mode, it is determined whether the first target volume in the first voice command is greater than the minimum volume threshold. If the current working mode is not a low volume mode, the first voice command is executed.

[0057] When the first target volume is greater than the minimum volume threshold, determine whether a second voice instruction is received within a predetermined time period, the second voice instruction is an instruction to adjust the volume to a third target volume, and the third target volume is greater than the minimum volume threshold. If the second voice instruction is received within the predetermined time period, execute the second voice instruction, otherwise, return to the step of determining whether the current working mode is the low volume mode.

[0058] The embodiment of the present application also provides a volume control device for a smart home. It should be noted that the volume control device for a smart home in the embodiment of the present application can be used to execute the volume control method for a smart home provided in the embodiment of the present application. The volume control device for a smart home provided in the embodiment of the present application is introduced below.

[0059] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of a volume control device for a smart home according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the device includes an acquisition unit 10, a determination unit 20 and a control unit 30, wherein the acquisition unit 10 is used to acquire the current working mode of the smart home when a voice wake-up command is received, and the current working mode includes a low volume mode and a non-low volume mode; the determination unit 20 is used to determine the answering volume according to at least one of the minimum volume threshold and the current media playback volume and the current working mode, the minimum volume threshold is the preset minimum volume value of the smart home, and the current media playback volume is the volume of multimedia playback currently set by the smart home; the control unit 30 is used to control the smart home to answer with the answering volume.

[0060] In the volume control device of the above-mentioned smart home, when a voice wake-up instruction is received, the current working mode of the above-mentioned smart home is obtained through the acquisition unit, and the above-mentioned current working mode includes a low volume mode and a non-low volume mode; according to at least one of the minimum volume threshold and the current media playback volume and the above-mentioned current working mode, the answering volume is determined by the determination unit, the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold is the preset minimum volume value of the above-mentioned smart home, and the above-mentioned current media playback volume is the volume of multimedia playback currently set by the above-mentioned smart home; the above-mentioned smart home is controlled by the control unit to answer with the above-mentioned answering volume. Compared with the problem in the prior art that the voice control device is mistakenly awakened in a specific scene (such as a late night scene or a do not disturb scene), the answering sound volume is too loud, which interferes with others and affects the user experience, the volume control device of the above-mentioned smart home of the present application can intelligently adjust the answering volume according to the current working mode of the smart home, avoiding the problem that the answering sound of the voice device is too loud in a specific scene, which interferes with others, and ensures a good user experience.

[0061] In actual application, the low-volume mode is a working mode corresponding to specific scenes, including late-night scenes and do-not-disturb scenes such as sleeping, studying and working. The non-low-volume mode is a working mode corresponding to scenes other than the above-mentioned specific scenes.

[0062] According to a specific embodiment of the present application, the determination unit includes a first determination module and a second determination module, and the first determination module is used to determine the minimum volume threshold as the answering volume when the current working mode is the low volume mode. This further ensures that the answering volume of the smart home is suitable for the current low volume mode environment, thereby further ensuring a good user experience.

[0063] Specifically, the above-mentioned device can determine the above-mentioned current working mode by obtaining user settings, such as the user independently setting the time period corresponding to the do not disturb mode, sleep mode and other low-volume modes, and determine the current working mode according to the time period; the above-mentioned device can also obtain the current time and automatically determine the current working mode according to the current time. For example, if the current time is 24 o'clock, it is determined that the above-mentioned current working mode corresponding to the current time is the low-volume mode; if the current time is 14 o'clock, it is determined that the above-mentioned current working mode corresponding to the current time is the non-low-volume mode.

[0064] In order to further ensure that the answering volume meets the user's needs in the low volume mode, in another specific embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold includes a minimum playback volume value and a minimum answering volume value, the above-mentioned minimum playback volume value is the minimum media playback volume, the above-mentioned minimum answering volume value is the minimum answering volume, the above-mentioned first determination module includes a first determination submodule, a second determination submodule and a third determination submodule, the above-mentioned first determination submodule is used to determine whether the above-mentioned minimum playback volume value is greater than the above-mentioned minimum answering volume value; the above-mentioned second determination submodule is used to determine that the above-mentioned minimum answering volume value is the above-mentioned answering volume when the above-mentioned minimum playback volume value is greater than the above-mentioned minimum answering volume value; the above-mentioned third determination submodule is used to determine that the above-mentioned minimum playback volume value is the above-mentioned answering volume when the above-mentioned minimum playback volume value is less than or equal to the above-mentioned minimum answering volume value. By dividing the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold into two minimum volumes, namely the above-mentioned minimum playback volume value and the minimum answering volume value, and when the working mode is low volume mode, the answering volume is the smaller value between the two, it is further ensured that the answering volume in this case meets the user's low volume mode requirements, and further ensures that in specific scenarios such as late night scenes, the answering volume is small and will not wake up others who are sleeping soundly, further ensuring a good user experience.

[0065] When the working mode is a non-low volume mode, according to another specific embodiment of the present application, the determination unit further includes a third determination module and a fourth determination module, wherein the third determination module is used to determine whether the minimum volume threshold is greater than the current media playback volume when the current working mode is the non-low volume mode; the fourth determination module is used to determine that the minimum volume threshold is the response volume when the minimum volume threshold is greater than the current media playback volume, and to determine that the current media playback volume is the response volume when the minimum volume threshold is less than or equal to the current media playback volume. This further ensures that the response volume can be clearly heard by the user in the non-low volume mode, and further ensures a better user experience.

[0066] According to a specific embodiment of the present application, the device further includes an adjustment unit, which is used to adjust the answering volume at least according to the current working mode and the first voice instruction when receiving a first voice instruction for adjusting the volume. When receiving a voice instruction for adjusting the volume, the answering volume is adjusted according to the current working mode and the first voice instruction, which further ensures that the adjusted answering volume is consistent with the current working mode, avoiding the problem of the adjusted answering volume being too high in the characteristic mode due to false triggering, which affects the user experience.

[0067] In order to further avoid the problem that the smart home is accidentally triggered in the low volume mode, resulting in a large adjusted answer volume, according to another specific embodiment of the present application, the adjustment unit includes a first adjustment module, a fifth determination module, a second adjustment module and a third adjustment module, wherein the first adjustment module is used to adjust the answer volume according to the first voice instruction when the current working mode is the non-low volume mode; the fifth determination module is used to determine the instruction content of the first voice instruction when the current working mode is the low volume mode; the second adjustment module is used to adjust the answer volume according to the first target volume and the minimum volume threshold when the instruction content is to adjust the volume to the first target volume; the third adjustment module is used to adjust the answer volume according to the first voice instruction when the instruction content is to turn down the volume and does not indicate turning down the volume to the second target volume, that is, when the instruction content is to turn down the volume and does not indicate the specific value of the adjustment.

[0068] Specifically, when the current working mode is the low volume mode, and the instruction content is to increase the volume and does not indicate increasing the volume to the fourth target volume, that is, when the voice instruction received in the low volume mode is to directly increase the volume and does not indicate a specific value to increase the volume, the first voice instruction is not executed. This further avoids the problem of voice erroneously triggering the response volume to be increased in the low volume mode, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0069] It should be noted that the values ​​of the first target volume, the second target volume and the fourth target volume may be the same or different.

[0070] According to another specific embodiment of the present application, the second adjustment module includes a fourth determination submodule, a first adjustment submodule and a second adjustment submodule, wherein the fourth determination submodule is used to determine whether the first target volume is greater than the minimum volume threshold when the instruction content is to adjust the volume to the first target volume; the first adjustment submodule is used to adjust the answering volume to the first target volume when the first target volume is less than or equal to the minimum volume threshold; the second adjustment submodule is used to adjust the answering volume according to the determination information when the first target volume is greater than the minimum volume threshold, the determination information is information generated to determine whether the second voice instruction is received within a predetermined period of time, the second voice instruction is an instruction to adjust the volume to a third target volume, and the third target volume is greater than the minimum volume threshold. In the low volume mode, if the first target volume is less than or equal to the minimum volume threshold, the answering volume is adjusted to the first target volume to ensure that the answering volume is small in the low volume mode. If the first target volume is greater than the above-mentioned minimum volume threshold, the above-mentioned second voice instruction will be executed only when the above-mentioned second voice instruction is received again within a predetermined time period. This further prevents voice misoperation and further ensures that the answering sound meets the user's low-volume mode requirements.

[0071] Specifically, the first target volume and the third target volume may be the same or different, as long as both the first target volume and the third target volume are greater than the minimum volume threshold.
