In particular, users can control smart home appliances by voice, which is usually achieved through the voice module on the smart home appliance.

[0003] In existing technologies, voice modules typically include a microphone and a speaker. The microphone picks up audio, and the voice module sends the received audio data to the cloud. The cloud then parses the data to extract specific instructions, which are then sent to the home appliance for execution. The speaker announces the execution result or provides feedback to the user, thus enabling voice interaction. However, in real-world applications, users are usually located near smart home appliances, and voice control is slower than manual control. Consequently, the voice interaction function of many smart home appliances is used infrequently.

[0022] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a home appliance provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0023] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely for explaining the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0024] Secondly, it should be noted that in the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc. (if present) are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0025] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The background technology mentions that at least the following technical problems exist when using smart home appliances with voice interaction capabilities:

[0028] Voice modules typically include a microphone (e.g., a microphone) and a megaphone (e.g., a megaphone). The microphone picks up audio data, which is then sent to the cloud. The cloud parses the data to extract specific instructions, which are then sent to the home appliances for execution. The megaphone announces the execution results or provides feedback to the user. This allows for voice interaction. However, in real-world applications, users are usually near smart appliances, and voice control is slower than manual control. Furthermore, users typically use the microphone less frequently. Consequently, the voice interaction function of smart appliances is used less frequently, leading to higher costs.

[0029] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a voice broadcast control method. After responding to a user's button press, the home appliance acquires pre-set voice information from its voice module. Following the user's button press, the amplification device broadcasts the corresponding voice information according to preset rules. If the button press triggers a linked scenario, the corresponding voice information is broadcast. If the home appliance is connected to the internet, it can receive real-time cloud-based information push notifications and broadcast them. This allows the home appliance to directly play corresponding voice information via user button presses, making it more convenient for users and increasing the frequency of use of the home appliance's voice broadcast function.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of the voice broadcast control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, in this scenario, a control board is installed inside the home appliance. A voice module and a speaker are connected to the control board. The speaker is mounted on the appliance's casing via the control board. The voice module contains pre-loaded audio files, allowing the control board to control the speaker to broadcast voice information from the audio files according to preset rules after the user presses a button. This voice information can be button press information, such as an announcement that the cotton / linen program has been selected when the user presses the cotton / linen program button while using the washing machine. It can also be the execution status of a button press operation, such as an announcement that the program has started when the user presses the start button while using the washing machine.

[0031] In this scenario, when a button operation triggers a linked scenario, the control panel controls the loudspeaker to broadcast voice information related to the linked scenario. For example, when using a washing machine, if the user presses the pause button, the washing machine door cannot be opened at this time. Therefore, to avoid safety accidents, the pause button will trigger an active service scenario, causing the control panel to control the loudspeaker to broadcast "The current water level in the drum is high, and the door cannot be opened. If you need to open the door, please press the start button to confirm within 3 seconds." When the user completes the button press within the specified time, the door opening scenario is triggered. At this time, the control panel controls the washing machine to automatically drain water and open the door.

[0032] In the above scenario, when home appliances are connected to the internet, the control panel within the appliance can control the voice module to replace the timbre or content of the preset audio file. The appliance can also download other audio files from the cloud via the internet and replace the preset audio file in the voice module. After adjusting the playback priority according to preset rules, the control panel can control the speaker to play the audio file in the voice module according to the playback priority. For example, when using a washing machine, normally the control panel will directly control the speaker to announce that the washing is complete after the washing is finished. However, when the washing machine is connected to the internet, the cloud can push information. In this case, the speaker will prioritize the information pushed from the cloud according to the playback priority. For example, if the cloud pushes weather information based on weather conditions, the control panel will control the speaker to announce "The weather is bad today; it is recommended to dry the clothes after washing" instead of directly announcing "The clothes are washed."

[0033] Based on the above scenarios, the principles and features of the embodiments of the present invention will be described below through several specific examples and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0034] Figure 2 The flowchart of the voice broadcast control method embodiment one provided by the present invention is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the voice broadcast control method includes the following steps:

[0035] S201: Responds to the user's key press operation and obtains the pre-set first voice information.

[0036] In this step, the first voice information can be pre-set in the voice module of the home appliance. The first voice information is the audio information corresponding to the button operation. For example, when using a washing machine, if the button operation is to press the start button, the first voice information is that the program has started. If the button operation is to press the cotton and linen program, the first voice information is that the cotton and linen program has been selected.

[0037] S202: If the home appliance is not connected to the network device, determine whether the user's button operation triggers the linkage scenario.

[0038] In this step, the home appliance can choose whether to connect to the network. Since the programs in the home appliance are relatively complex, and each user's usage of the home appliance is different, if the home appliance is not connected to the network, it is also necessary to determine whether the user's button operation has triggered a linkage scenario. This linkage scenario is the scenario corresponding to the button operation. For example, when using a washing machine, if the user presses the start button and then presses the pause button during the washing process, a linkage scenario will be triggered. This linkage scenario indicates that the user wants to pause the washing process and perform other operations. If the user does not perform any other button operation after pressing the start button during the washing process, the linkage scenario will not be triggered.

[0039] In this solution, network devices can be routers, network cables, Bluetooth devices, etc. When home appliances connect to network devices, they can connect to the wireless network through a router, connect directly to the network through a network cable, or connect to the network through a Bluetooth device. There are many ways for home appliances to connect to the network, and no restrictions are imposed here.

[0040] S203: If the button operation does not trigger the linkage scene, the first voice information will be broadcast according to the preset rules.

[0041] In this step, if the home appliance is not connected to the network device and the user's button operation does not trigger the linkage scene, the home appliance can directly broadcast the first voice information pre-set in the voice module through the loudspeaker.

[0042] In this solution, when the amplification device broadcasts the first voice message, the broadcast order can be determined according to preset rules. These preset rules can be defined based on the following three dimensions: ensuring device operation, improving usability, and enhancing user experience. When home appliances broadcast the first voice message using the preset rules defined by these three dimensions, it is necessary to first ensure that the home appliances can operate normally, then ensure that the functions of the home appliances can meet user needs, and finally ensure the user's user experience.

[0043] In the above solution, ensuring device operation means that among all the first voice messages in the voice module, voice messages indicating device operation should be given priority. For example, when using a washing machine, if the user presses the start button and the device is running normally, the message "Program started" should be announced; if the device is malfunctioning, the message "Device malfunction, please check" should be announced. This can avoid problems where home appliances cannot be used normally due to certain faults. Improving the user experience means reminding the user that certain settings will improve the user experience. For example, when using a washing machine, if the user selects the dirty clothes washing program, the message "Extend the washing time by 5 minutes to make the clothes cleaner" should be announced. Improving the user experience means adding linked scenarios to reduce the user's manual processing time. For example, when using a washing machine, after washing clothes, the message "Clothes washing complete, it is recommended to dry the clothes" can be announced.

[0044] The voice broadcast control method provided in this embodiment of the invention responds to user button operations and acquires pre-set first voice information, wherein the first voice information is audio information corresponding to the button operation; if the home appliance is not connected to a network device, it determines whether the user's button operation triggers a linkage scenario, wherein the linkage scenario is a scenario corresponding to the button operation; if the button operation does not trigger a linkage scenario, the first voice information is broadcast according to preset rules. Through this method, when using smart home appliances, users can directly achieve voice broadcasting of the smart home appliances through button operations, without needing to install a radio device on the smart home appliances to receive user voice commands. This allows for the broadcasting of corresponding voice information based on user button operations, thereby increasing the usage frequency of the voice broadcasting function of smart home appliances.

[0045] In one specific implementation, the method further includes: if the home appliance is connected to a network device, downloading the second voice information from the cloud; replacing the first voice information with the second voice information; adjusting the playback priority of the second voice information according to preset rules; and playing the second voice information based on the playback priority.

[0046] In this scheme, the second voice information is the audio information corresponding to the button operation. If the home appliance can connect to a network device, the second voice information can be downloaded to the terminal. For example, the second voice information is an audio file that includes at least weather-related voice information. The second voice information can be used to replace the first voice information, and the broadcast priority of the second voice information can be adjusted according to the aforementioned preset rules. This allows the home appliance to broadcast the second voice information through a loudspeaker according to the broadcast priority. For example, when using a washing machine, the second voice information includes the default broadcast content and the weather-related broadcast content. When the washing machine is connected to the network, after the clothes are washed, the loudspeaker will prioritize broadcasting the weather-related broadcast content, such as "It is raining today, so it is recommended to dry the clothes after washing."

[0047] In one specific implementation, the method further includes: if a button operation has triggered a linkage scene, then monitoring the status of the linkage scene according to preset rules; and broadcasting the first voice information according to the status of the linkage scene.

[0048] In this solution, the linkage scenarios can be divided into linkage scenarios between home appliances and other devices, such as washing machines and clotheslines; linkage scenarios between multiple functions of home appliances, such as the washing and drying functions of washing machines; and linkage scenarios between home appliances and the environment, such as washing machines and weather.

[0049] In the above scheme, if a user's button operation triggers a linkage scenario, the state of the linkage scenario can be monitored according to the aforementioned preset rules to determine which one or more linkage scenarios it belongs to, and then the first voice information is broadcast through the loudspeaker. For example, when using a washing machine, if the user's button operation triggers two linkage scenarios—the washing machine and the clothesline, and the washing machine and the weather—then, according to the preset rules, the voice information related to lowering the clothesline in the first voice information is broadcast first, followed by the voice information related to the weather in the first voice information.

[0050] In one specific implementation, the method further includes: when the home appliance malfunctions, determining a first priority for the voice information, wherein the broadcast priority includes the first priority and the voice information includes first voice information and second voice information; when the home appliance malfunctions, determining a second priority for the voice information, wherein the broadcast priority includes the second priority; and when the home appliance is running in a linked scenario, determining a third priority for the voice information, wherein the broadcast priority includes the third priority.

[0051] In this scheme, the voice information with the first priority is used to indicate whether the home appliance is operating normally, the voice information with the second priority is used to indicate whether the home appliance is using its functions normally, and the voice information with the third priority is used to indicate the voice information when the home appliance is running in a linkage scenario.

[0052] In the above scheme, the voice information indicating whether the function of the home appliance is normal can include voice information that affects the processing capacity of the home appliance. For example, when using a washing machine, too much detergent will cause the clothes to not be rinsed clean, or too much lint will cause the clothes to dry poorly.

[0053] In one specific implementation, the first priority is higher than the second priority, and the second priority is higher than the third priority.

[0054] In this scheme, among the three dimensions defined in the preset rules, the normal operation of home appliances is a prerequisite for all other functions. Therefore, to ensure the normal operation of home appliances, the priority of voice information used to ensure the normal operation of home appliances (i.e., the first priority) is set to the highest priority. When home appliances malfunction, voice information indicating the malfunction is played first. For example, when using a washing machine, if the washing machine malfunctions, the system will play "Cannot start the washing machine, please check" when the user presses the start button. Under the premise that home appliances are operating normally, the normal functionality of the home appliances is also necessary to guarantee the user's needs. Therefore, the priority of voice information used to ensure the normal functionality of home appliances (i.e., the second priority) is set to the second highest priority. Regardless of whether the user's button operation triggers a linkage scenario, the user's normal needs can still be met. Therefore, the priority of voice information used to indicate the operation of home appliances in linkage scenarios (i.e., the third priority) is set to the lowest priority.

[0055] In one specific implementation, when home appliances are running in a linkage scenario, a third priority for voice information is determined, including: when the linkage scenario indicates linkage between home appliances and other devices, the third priority is determined as device linkage priority; when the linkage scenario indicates linkage between the functions of home appliances, the third priority is determined as function linkage priority; when the linkage scenario indicates linkage between home appliances and the environment, the third priority is determined as environment linkage priority; wherein, device linkage priority is greater than function linkage priority, and function linkage priority is greater than environment linkage priority.

[0056] In this solution, the linkage scenarios can be divided into three types: linkage between home appliances and other devices, linkage between the functions of home appliances, and linkage between home appliances and the environment. For example, linkage between washing machines and clothes racks, linkage between the washing and drying functions of washing machines, and linkage between washing machines and the weather. When a user finishes washing clothes, their primary need is to use a clothes rack to dry them, regardless of whether the clothes are dried. Whether or not to dry clothes is a subjective need of the user. Even if the weather is bad, the user can choose to dry the clothes, and they can also choose not to dry the clothes when the weather is bad. Therefore, device linkage has a higher priority than function linkage, which in turn has a higher priority than environmental linkage. That is, voice information prior to device linkage should be broadcast first, followed by voice information prior to function linkage, and finally voice information prior to environmental linkage.

[0057] In one specific implementation, the playback priority of the second voice information is adjusted according to preset rules, including: replacing the content of the second voice information to obtain the replacement voice information; and adjusting the playback priority of the replacement voice information according to preset rules.

[0058] In this solution, after the home appliances are connected to the network device, in order to meet the different needs of users, users can replace the content or timbre of the second voice information downloaded from the cloud through various means such as function buttons on the home appliances, touch screens on the home appliances, or applications (APP). Then, the playback priority of the replaced voice information is adjusted so that the home appliances can broadcast the replaced voice information through the amplification device.

[0059] The voice broadcast control method provided in this invention responds to user button operations and acquires pre-set first voice information, wherein the first voice information is audio information corresponding to the button operation; if the home appliance is not connected to a network device, it determines whether the user's button operation triggers a linkage scenario, wherein the linkage scenario is a scenario corresponding to the button operation; if the button operation does not trigger a linkage scenario, the first voice information is broadcast according to preset rules. Through this method, when using smart home appliances, users can directly achieve voice broadcasting of the smart home appliances through button operations, without needing to install a radio device on the smart home appliances to collect user voice commands. This allows for direct broadcasting of corresponding voice information based on user button operations, thereby reducing production costs and increasing the usage frequency of the voice broadcasting function of smart home appliances.

[0060] Figure 3 The flowchart of Embodiment 2 of the voice broadcast control method provided by the present invention is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the voice broadcast control method includes the following steps:

[0061] S301: Responds to user key presses.

[0062] S302: Determine whether home appliances are connected to the internet.

[0063] In this step, if the home appliance is connected to the network, proceed to step S303; if the home appliance is not connected to the network, proceed to step S304.

[0064] S303: Adjusts the playback priority of voice information according to preset rules.

[0065] S304: Determine whether a button operation triggers a linked scenario.

[0066] In this step, if the button operation triggers a linked scene, the process jumps to step S305; if the button operation does not trigger a linked scene, the process jumps to step 306.

[0067] S305: Monitors the status of the linked scene according to preset rules, and at the same time, the home appliances execute the preset rules according to the status of the linked scene to broadcast voice information.

[0068] S306: Broadcasts voice information according to preset rules.

[0069] The voice broadcast control method provided in this embodiment of the invention allows users to directly control the voice broadcast of smart home appliances by pressing buttons, without the need to install a radio device on the smart home appliance to receive the user's voice commands. This enables the broadcast of corresponding voice information based on the user's button operations, thereby increasing the frequency of use of the voice broadcast function of smart home appliances.

[0070] Figure 4 The flowchart of the third embodiment of the voice broadcast control method provided by the present invention is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the voice broadcast control method includes the following steps:

[0071] S401: Users can switch the tone or content of voice information using function keys, touch screen, or application.

[0072] S402: Determine whether home appliances are connected to the internet.

[0073] In this step, if the home appliance is connected to the network, proceed to step S403; if the home appliance is not connected to the network, proceed to step S404.

[0074] S403: Download audio information from the cloud and replace the preset audio content in the voice module.

[0075] In this step, after the amplification device broadcasts the downloaded audio information (i.e., the second voice information mentioned above), it can provide feedback via a touchscreen or application, indicating the result of the broadcast.

[0076] S404: Broadcasts voice information according to preset rules.

[0077] The voice broadcast control method provided in this embodiment of the invention allows users to download voice information from the cloud to enhance the user experience when using smart home appliances. This information can be used to improve the user experience, such as voice information related to weather or clothing care. If the home appliances are not connected to the network, the voice information pre-set in the voice module is broadcast directly according to preset rules. This enables the broadcast of corresponding voice information based on the user's button operation, thereby increasing the frequency of use of the voice broadcast function of smart home appliances.

[0078] In general, the technical solution provided by this invention avoids the use of a radio device to collect users' voice commands in the prior art, and thus directly realizes a voice interaction function similar to that of home appliances through button operation and amplification device. It is a technical implementation method that can greatly increase the usage frequency of the voice broadcast function of home appliances.

[0080] The acquisition module 51 is used to respond to the user's key operation and acquire the pre-set first voice information, wherein the first voice information is the audio information corresponding to the key operation.

[0081] The determination module 52 is used to determine whether the user's button operation triggers a linkage scenario if the home appliance is not connected to the network device. The linkage scenario is the scenario corresponding to the button operation.

[0082] The broadcast module 53 is used to broadcast the first voice information according to preset rules if the button operation does not trigger the linkage scene.

[0083] Optionally, the device is also used to download second voice information from the cloud if the home appliance is connected to a network device, wherein the second voice information is audio information corresponding to the button operation; replace the first voice information with the second voice information; adjust the playback priority of the second voice information according to preset rules; and play the second voice information based on the playback priority.

[0086] Optionally, the first priority is higher than the second priority, and the second priority is higher than the third priority.

[0087] Optionally, the device is also used to determine the third priority as the device linkage priority when the linkage scenario represents the linkage between home appliances and other devices; to determine the third priority as the function linkage priority when the linkage scenario represents the linkage between the functions of home appliances; and to determine the third priority as the environment linkage priority when the linkage scenario represents the linkage between home appliances and the environment. Among these, the device linkage priority is greater than the function linkage priority, and the function linkage priority is greater than the environment linkage priority.
