[0101] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. In the following description, like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the description. The following exemplary embodiments described herein represent the best attempts at providing embodiments in conformity with the present disclosure. They are not intended to represent that all embodiments in conformity with the present disclosure are exhausted.

[0102] In the related art, in the application scenario of voice wake-up, after a user shouts a wake-up word, multiple smart devices included in a smart home device all detect the wake-up word, generate a wake-up request according to the wake-up word, and send the wake-up request carrying the sound energy of the wake-up word to a server. The server acquires the wake-up requests sent by all the smart devices included in the smart home device, determines a wake-up result for each smart device according to the sound energy of the wake-up word in the wake-up request sent by each smart device, and sends the wake-up result to the corresponding smart device, so that the smart device performs a wake-up operation or suppresses a wake-up operation.

[0103] However, the inventors of the present disclosure found that the scheme in the related art has the following problems in the process of implementing the technical scheme of the present disclosure. First, because different smart devices detect the wake-up word at different times, and different smart devices send the wake-up request carrying the sound energy of the wake-up word to the server at different times, the server can only determine the wake-up result for each smart device after receiving the wake-up requests of all the smart devices. The server has a long waiting time, which reduces the wake-up response speed of the smart device.

[0104] Second, because the smart devices that detect the wake-up word send the wake-up request to the server at the same time period, they occupy the network transmission channel such as WiFi, increase the transmission delay of the wake-up request, and also reduce the wake-up response speed of the smart device.

[0105] Therefore, the present disclosure provides a device wake-up method. In the device wake-up method of the present disclosure, in response to a target smart device detecting a wake-up word, by comparing a first spatial position where a user is located and a second spatial position where the target smart device is located, it is determined whether the first spatial position and the second spatial position are the same spatial position. If the first spatial position and the second spatial position are the same spatial position, the target smart device generates a wake-up request and sends it to a server. The wake-up request includes the sound energy of the wake-up word detected by the target smart device. In this way, the server can only process the wake-up request sent by one or more target smart devices in the second spatial position. The server processing time is fast, and because the number of smart devices sending the wake-up request to the server at the same time period is reduced, the transmission delay of the wake-up request is reduced, and the wake-up response speed of the target smart device is improved.

[0106] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a device wake-up method according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the device wake-up method is applied to multiple smart devices included in a smart home device, and includes the following steps.

[0107] In step S11, in response to the target smart device detecting a wake-up word, it is determined whether a first spatial position where a user is located and a second spatial position where the target smart device is located are the same spatial position.

[0108] The first spatial position is obtained from data representing the spatial position where the user is located, which is issued by a server to the target smart device.

[0109] It can be understood that, in the case where there is no user in the second spatial position where the target smart device is located, the user has no intention to wake up the target smart device. In the case where there is a user in the second spatial position where the target smart device is located, the user can have the intention to wake up the target smart device.

[0110] Therefore, after the target smart device detects the wake-up word, it is necessary to determine whether the first spatial position where the user is located and the second spatial position where the target smart device is located are the same spatial position.

[0111] If the first spatial position and the second spatial position are the same spatial position, the target smart device generates a wake-up request and sends it to the server. If the first spatial position and the second spatial position are different spatial positions, the generation of the wake-up request is suppressed.

[0112] In addition, in an embodiment, the device wake-up method further includes: the target smart device emitting a first sound wave signal, the first sound wave signal being used to perceive whether other target smart devices capable of sound wave communication are included in the second spatial position. The target smart device obtains a perception result according to the first sound wave signal, and sends the perception result to the server, so that a wake-up result is determined by the server according to the wake-up request and the perception result.

[0113] The sound wave signal may, for example, be an ultrasonic signal. For example, a smart television and a smart speaker included in a smart home device are in a living room, and a smart air conditioner and a smart alarm clock are in a master bedroom, so that the smart devices perceive each other through ultrasonic communication. For example, the smart speaker sends an ultrasonic signal that can only be received by the smart television, and the smart air conditioner and the smart alarm clock cannot receive it due to the blocking of a wall, so that the smart television knows that the smart speaker and itself are in the same sub-space, and the smart air conditioner and the smart alarm clock know that they are in the same sub-space. Each smart device perceives in turn, and thus can ultimately divide the sub-spaces where all smart devices are located.

[0114] In addition, the present disclosure can determine the first spatial position where the user is located based on the following idea:

[0115] If the user leaves the current space position but no other space position is detected, the user does not leave the current space position; if the user leaves space position A and space position B detects the user, the user is in space position B.

[0116] Further, in the present disclosure, a device for detecting the positional relationship between the user and the second space position can be pre-set in each space position, and the device is used to determine the position of the user.

[0117] For example, the target intelligent device in the present disclosure is a pre-set device for detecting the positional relationship between the user and the second space position;

[0118] According to the Doppler effect, when the user is far away from the target intelligent device, the emission frequency of the sound wave signal emitted by the target intelligent device is higher than the reception frequency of the sound wave signal received; when the user is close to the target intelligent device, the emission frequency of the sound wave signal emitted is lower than the reception frequency of the sound wave signal received. Thus, based on the Doppler effect, in an embodiment, the device wake-up method further comprises:

[0119] The target intelligent device emits a second sound wave signal; the target intelligent device receives a third sound wave signal reflected by the second sound wave signal; the target intelligent device determines the positional relationship according to the emission frequency of the second sound wave signal and the reception frequency of the third sound wave signal, wherein the positional relationship includes that the user is far away from the second space position or the user enters the second space position; and the target intelligent device reports the positional relationship to the server, so that the server determines the first space position of the user according to the positional relationship.

[0120] Further, in order to avoid interference of the sound wave frequency band, each sub-space can be allocated a different sound wave frequency band, and thus the frequency of the second sound wave signal emitted by the target intelligent device in different second space positions is different.

[0121] In step S12, if the first space position and the second space position are the same space position, the target intelligent device generates a wake-up request and sends it to the server.

[0122] The wake-up request includes the sound energy of the wake-up word detected by the target intelligent device.

[0123] In an embodiment, whether the first space position where the user is located and the second space position where the target intelligent device is located are the same space position can be determined, for example, by the following method:

[0124] The target intelligent device determines consistency between a first identifier of the first space position where the user is located and a second identifier of the second space position where the target intelligent device is located. If the consistency is determined, the first space position and the second space position are determined as the same space position. If the consistency is not determined, the first space position and the second space position are determined as different space positions.

[0125] In step S13, the target intelligent device receives the wake-up result fed back by the server, and the wake-up result includes performing wake-up or inhibiting wake-up.

[0126] Since the sub-space between the intelligent devices is determined, that is, all the target intelligent devices included in the second space position are determined, if the second space position where the target intelligent device is located and the first space position where the user is located are the same space position, it indicates that all the target intelligent devices in the second space position will generate a wake-up request according to the detected wake-up word, and send the wake-up request including the sound energy of the detected wake-up word to the server. The server determines which target intelligent device performs the wake-up operation and other target intelligent devices perform the wake-up inhibition operation according to the sound energy of the wake-up word sent by each target intelligent device included in the second space position.

[0127] In step S14, the target intelligent device performs the wake-up operation corresponding to the wake-up result.

[0128] In the example embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the target intelligent device detecting the wake-up word, by comparing the first space position where the user is located and the second space position where the target intelligent device is located, it is determined whether the first space position and the second space position are the same space position. If the first space position and the second space position are the same space position, the target intelligent device generates a wake-up request and sends it to the server. The wake-up request includes the sound energy of the wake-up word detected by the target intelligent device. In this way, the server can only process the wake-up request sent by one or more target intelligent devices included in the second space position. The server processing time is fast, and since the number of intelligent devices sending the wake-up request to the server at the same time period is reduced, the transmission delay of the wake-up request is reduced, and the wake-up response speed of the target intelligent device is improved.

[0129] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a device wake-up method according to an example embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The device wake-up method is applied to a server and includes the following steps.

[0130] In step S21, a wake-up request is obtained, and the wake-up request is sent by a first intelligent device located in a target space position and includes sound energy of a wake-up word detected by the first intelligent device.

[0131] The target space position is a space position in which the user is located and is stored in the first smart device.

[0132] In an embodiment, the device wake-up method further comprises: obtaining a position relationship between the user and the device space position sent by the second smart device. According to the position relationship, the target space position is determined, and data representing the target space position is issued to the smart device included in the smart home device.

[0133] The second smart device is a device included in the smart home device and used to detect the position relationship between the user and the device space position. The device space position is a space position in which the second smart device is located. The position relationship includes that the user is away from the device space position or that the user enters the device space position.

[0134] The device space position includes at least the first device space position. According to the position relationship, the target space position is determined, which includes:

[0135] If the position relationship includes that the user is away from the first device space position and does not enter other device space positions, the target space position is determined as the first device space position. If the position relationship includes that the user is away from the first device space position and enters other device space positions, the user space position is determined as the other device space position.

[0136] In step S22, according to the wake-up request, a wake-up result sent to the first smart device is determined. The wake-up result includes performing wake-up or suppressing wake-up.

[0137] In an embodiment, according to the wake-up request, the wake-up result sent to the first smart device can be determined, for example, by the following method:

[0138] The perception result is sent by a third smart device as a reporting party in the target space position and indicates whether the third smart device perceives that other smart devices capable of communicating with it by sound waves are included in the target space position. According to the perception result and the wake-up request, the wake-up result is determined.

[0139] If the perception result does not include other smart devices, the wake-up result of performing wake-up is determined according to the perception result and the wake-up request. If the perception result includes other smart devices, the wake-up result is determined according to the sound energy of the wake-up word in the wake-up request sent by the first smart device and the other smart devices.

[0140] The sound energy of the wake-up word can be determined, for example, by the following method:

[0141] The target smart device detects the wake-up word through a VAD (Voice Activity Detection) algorithm, and obtains the length of the wake-up word as T frames. The sound energy of the wake-up word can be determined through the following formula:

[0142]

[0143] In formula (1), E n represents the average energy of the wake-up word voice signal collected by the nth target smart device, x n (t) represents the time-domain voice signal collected by the nth first electronic device at time t.

[0144] All first smart devices send the sound energy of the wake-up word to the server. After the server receives the sound energy of the wake-up word sent by all first smart devices in the space where the user is located, the maximum energy E max = max (E1, E2, … E n ) is calculated, and it is decided which first smart device in the subspace should respond to the wake-up operation. The server sends the wake-up result including the execution of the wake-up to the corresponding first smart device, and sends the wake-up result suppressing the wake-up to other first smart devices.

[0145] In step S23, the wake-up result is sent to the first smart device located in the target space position.

[0146] In the example embodiment of the present disclosure, the wake-up request is obtained, which is sent by the first smart device located in the target space position and includes the sound energy of the wake-up word detected by the first smart device. The target space position is the space position where the user is located and is stored on the first smart device. The first smart device is one of the plurality of smart devices included in the smart home device. In this way, the server can only process the wake-up request sent by one or more first smart devices in the target space position. The server processing time is fast, and because the number of smart devices sending the wake-up request to the server at the same time period is reduced, the transmission delay of the wake-up request is reduced, and the wake-up response speed of the target smart device is improved.

[0147] Figure 3 is an interaction flowchart of a device wake-up method according to an example embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The device wake-up method includes the following steps.

[0148] In step S31, in response to the target smart device detecting the wake-up word, the target smart device determines whether the first space position where the user is located and the second space position where the target smart device is located are the same space position.

[0149] In step S32, the target smart device determines that the first spatial position and the second spatial position are the same spatial position, and the target smart device generates a wake-up request.

[0150] In step S33, the wake-up request is sent to the server.

[0151] In step S34, the server acquires the wake-up request.

[0152] In step S35, according to the wake-up request, a wake-up result sent to the target smart device is determined, and the wake-up result includes performing wake-up or suppressing wake-up.

[0153] In step S36, the wake-up result is sent to the target smart device.

[0154] In step S37, the target smart device receives the wake-up result fed back by the server.
