[0002] In current terminal usage, to meet users' diverse voice input needs, various voice playback types are provided, such as multimedia, navigation, telephone, and general voice messages. For different playback types, there may be situations where multiple types are played simultaneously, or where different types cannot be played concurrently. Existing voice playback technologies support multilingual, multi-dialect, and multi-role playback, and users can set their desired voice playback mode. However, they lack support for multiple voice playback stream types. Currently, adding new voice stream types requires application updates; therefore, traditional technical solutions cannot quickly and accurately handle situations where new voice stream types are added.

[0045] Figure 1 This illustration schematically demonstrates a principle diagram for setting a voice broadcast stream type according to an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 1 As shown in the illustration, this application provides a principle for setting the voice broadcast stream type. The system for setting the voice broadcast stream type may include an application, a voice assistant, and a controller. The application is used to set the voice broadcast purpose type and enable broadcasting. When a new purpose type is added, the controller updates the engine resource configuration file that the voice assistant needs to read. The voice assistant reads the updated engine resource configuration file, and the controller initializes the voice broadcast engine. Then, it sets the stream type and selects the voice broadcast engine according to the broadcast purpose type to obtain the broadcast text. The application then broadcasts the voice broadcast file. By setting the voice broadcast stream type according to the initial voice broadcast purpose type when a new purpose type of voice stream is added, the entire system does not need to be updated, thus improving the efficiency of setting the voice broadcast stream type.

[0046] Figure 2 The diagram schematically illustrates a structural diagram of a system for setting a voice broadcast stream type according to an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 2As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a system for setting voice broadcast stream types. The system may include a controller 201, an application terminal 202, and a voice assistant terminal 203. The controller 201 communicates with both the application terminal 202 and the voice assistant terminal 203. The application terminal 202 is configured to set a new usage type for voice broadcast and send the new usage type to the controller 201. The voice assistant terminal 203 is configured to determine a target stream type and a target voice broadcast engine based on the new usage type and send the target stream type and the target voice broadcast engine to the controller 201. The controller 201 is configured to receive the new usage type for voice broadcast sent by the application terminal 202 and the target stream type and the target voice broadcast engine sent by the voice assistant terminal 203. The target voice broadcast engine is determined based on the target stream type and the new usage type; it is then determined whether an initial voice broadcast is currently in progress; if an initial voice broadcast is in progress, it is determined whether the usage type of the initial voice broadcast and the new usage type are the same type; if the usage type of the initial voice broadcast and the new usage type are the same type, the initial voice broadcast is stopped, and the target voice is broadcast according to the target voice broadcast engine.

[0047] Figure 3 This illustration schematically shows a method for setting the voice broadcast stream type according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 3 As shown, this method is applied to a system for setting the type of voice broadcast stream. The system includes an application, a voice assistant, and a controller. The controller communicates with both the application and the voice assistant. The method may include:

[0048] Step 301: Receive the new usage type of the voice broadcast sent by the application.

[0049] Step 302: Set the target stream type according to the new usage type via the voice assistant;

[0050] Step 303: Determine the target voice broadcast engine based on the target stream type and the new usage type;

[0051] Step 304: Determine if an initial voice broadcast is currently in progress;

[0052] Step 305: If an initial voice broadcast is in progress, determine whether the purpose type of the initial voice broadcast and the new purpose type are the same type;

[0053] Step 306: If the initial voice broadcast purpose type and the new purpose type are the same, stop the initial voice broadcast and broadcast the target voice according to the target voice broadcast engine.

[0054] In this embodiment, "application terminal" refers to the user terminal. "Voice assistant terminal" refers to the module within the in-vehicle system that reads configuration files and sets the broadcast stream type. "New usage type" refers to the type set through the application terminal. "Stream type" refers to the type of data stream; a data stream is an ordered sequence of bytes with a start and end point. "Target stream type" refers to the type of data stream for the new usage type set by the application terminal. "Engine" is a core component for developing programs or systems on an electronic platform. "Target voice broadcast engine" refers to the broadcast engine corresponding to the data stream of the new usage type added by the application terminal. "Initial voice broadcast" refers to the voice broadcast currently in progress at the current judgment moment.

[0055] In the system for setting voice broadcast stream types, the controller communicates with both the application and the voice assistant. When setting a voice broadcast stream type, the controller first receives the new usage type of the voice broadcast from the application. Then, the voice assistant sets the target stream type based on the new usage type, ensuring a one-to-one correspondence between the target stream type and the new usage type. After setting the target stream type, the controller determines the target voice broadcast engine based on both the target stream type and the new usage type—that is, the target voice broadcast engine corresponding to the new usage type. By setting the target stream type and target voice broadcast engine based on the new usage type, new voice broadcasts can be played immediately upon their arrival without requiring an update to the entire application.

[0056] When a new voice broadcast type is added, it's crucial to ensure that voices of different purposes do not interfere with each other during broadcast. Therefore, after determining the target voice broadcast engine, the controller checks if an initial voice broadcast is currently in progress. If an initial voice broadcast is in progress, it further checks if the purpose type of the initial broadcast and the new purpose type are the same. If they are the same, it indicates that the two voice broadcasts will interfere with each other. In this case, the controller stops the initial voice broadcast and begins broadcasting the new purpose type, i.e., the target voice. When broadcasting the target voice, it must be broadcast according to the pre-determined target voice broadcast engine. By determining the types of the target voice broadcast and the initial voice broadcast, interference between the two voice broadcasts can be avoided, enhancing the accuracy of the voice broadcast.

[0057] Through the above technical solution, after the controller receives the new usage type of the voice broadcast sent by the application terminal, it sets the target stream type according to the new usage type through the voice assistant terminal; then, it determines the target voice broadcast engine based on the target stream type and the new usage type; next, it checks whether an initial voice broadcast is currently in progress; if an initial voice broadcast is in progress, it checks whether the usage type of the initial voice broadcast and the new usage type are the same type; if the usage type of the initial voice broadcast and the new usage type are the same type, it stops the initial voice broadcast and broadcasts the target voice according to the target voice broadcast engine. This application's solution improves the efficiency of setting the voice broadcast stream type by setting the usage type of the voice broadcast stream based on the usage type of the initial voice broadcast when there is a voice stream with a new usage type, without updating the entire system.

[0058] In this embodiment of the application, the method may further include:

[0059] If no initial speech is being broadcast, the target speech is broadcast based on the target speech broadcasting engine.

[0060] Specifically, if no initial voice broadcast is in progress, it means that the system is not currently broadcasting any voice messages, and the target voice message can be broadcast directly. When broadcasting the target voice message, it can be broadcast according to a pre-determined target voice message. By determining the types of the target voice message and the initial voice message, interference between the two types of voice broadcasts can be avoided, thus improving the accuracy of the voice broadcast.

[0061] In this embodiment of the application, the method may further include:

[0062] If the initial voice broadcast purpose type and the newly added purpose type are not the same, continue the initial voice broadcast and broadcast the target voice according to the target voice broadcast engine.

[0063] Specifically, when the initial voice broadcast's purpose type and the newly added purpose type are not the same, the two voice broadcasts will not interfere with each other, and both types of voice broadcasts can be performed simultaneously. The initial voice broadcast can continue, and the target voice can be broadcast. When broadcasting the target voice, it can be broadcast according to a pre-determined target voice broadcast. In one example, the initial voice broadcast type is music broadcast, and the newly added purpose type is navigation broadcast. Since music broadcast and navigation broadcast are different types, music broadcast continues, while navigation is broadcast according to the navigation broadcast engine. By determining whether the two voice broadcasts are of the same type, interference between the two voice broadcasts can be avoided, enhancing the accuracy of voice broadcast.

[0064] In this embodiment of the application, the method may further include:

[0065] Upon receiving a new usage type, update the engine resource configuration file;

[0066] The updated engine resource configuration file is read by the voice assistant, and the voice broadcast engine is initialized.

[0067] Specifically, a configuration file is essentially a file containing information required for successful program operation, structured in a specific way. This information is not hard-coded into the program but is user-configurable. The engine resource configuration file refers to the configuration file required by the voice playback engine. After a new usage type is added in the application, the voice playback engine's engine resource configuration file also needs to be updated. The application sends the new usage type to the controller, which updates the engine resource configuration file accordingly. Upon receiving the updated engine resource configuration file, the voice assistant reads it and initializes the voice playback engine based on it. By updating the engine resource configuration file when a new usage type is added, the voice stream for that new usage type can be played without updating the entire application, thus improving the efficiency of voice playback.

[0068] In this embodiment of the application, updating the engine resource configuration file may include:

[0069] Add the new usage type to the engine resource configuration file.

[0070] Specifically, after the controller receives the new usage type from the application, it needs to update the engine resource configuration file. This update must be based on the new usage type sent by the application. During the update, the new usage type can be added to the engine resource configuration file. By updating the engine resource configuration file, the newly added voice stream type can be played.

[0071] In this embodiment of the application, initializing the voice broadcast engine may include:

[0072] Match the usage type with the voice broadcast engine.

[0073] Specifically, the initialization process for the voice broadcast engine needs to be based on the engine resource configuration file. The engine resource configuration file is updated based on the newly added usage type. After updating the engine resource configuration file, the newly added usage type is marked on the voice broadcast engine, so that the voice broadcast engine has detailed information about the new type. By initializing the voice broadcast engine, the voice broadcast engine can be matched with the newly added usage type to enable the broadcasting of voices for the newly added usage type.

[0074] In this embodiment of the application, the initialization process for the voice broadcast engine may further include:

[0075] Create multiple voice broadcast engine instances based on their intended use;

[0076] Multiple voice broadcast engine instances are stored using a hash table.

[0077] Specifically, a hash table, also called a hash map, is a data structure that provides fast insertion and lookup operations. During the initialization of the voice broadcast engine, multiple voice broadcast instances are created based on the usage type marked on the engine (i.e., the new usage type). After creating multiple voice broadcast instances, they are stored in a hash table according to their usage type. By creating voice broadcast engine examples and storing voice broadcast instances, the corresponding voice broadcast instance can be selected for voice broadcasting when needed.

[0078] Through the above technical solution, after the controller receives the new usage type of the voice broadcast sent by the application terminal, it sets the target stream type according to the new usage type through the voice assistant terminal; then, it determines the target voice broadcast engine based on the target stream type and the new usage type; next, it checks whether an initial voice broadcast is currently in progress; if an initial voice broadcast is in progress, it checks whether the usage type of the initial voice broadcast and the new usage type are the same type; if the usage type of the initial voice broadcast and the new usage type are the same type, it stops the initial voice broadcast and broadcasts the target voice according to the target voice broadcast engine. This application's solution improves the efficiency of setting the voice broadcast stream type by setting the usage type of the voice broadcast stream based on the usage type of the initial voice broadcast when there is a voice stream with a new usage type, without updating the entire system.

[0081] Processor 420 is configured to retrieve instructions from memory 410 and, when executing instructions, to implement the aforementioned method for setting the voice broadcast stream type.

[0082] Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the processor 420 can be configured to:

[0083] New usage types for receiving voice broadcasts sent by the application;

[0084] Set the target stream type based on the new usage type via the voice assistant;

[0085] The target voice broadcast engine is determined based on the target stream type and the type of new use.

[0086] Determine if an initial voice broadcast is currently in progress;

[0087] If an initial voice broadcast is in progress, determine whether the purpose type of the initial voice broadcast and the new purpose type are the same type;

[0088] If the initial voice broadcast's purpose type and the newly added purpose type are the same, stop the initial voice broadcast and broadcast the target voice according to the target voice broadcast engine.

[0089] Furthermore, the processor 420 can also be configured as follows:

[0090] If no initial speech is being broadcast, the target speech is broadcast based on the target speech broadcasting engine.

[0091] Furthermore, the processor 420 can also be configured as follows:

[0092] If the initial voice broadcast purpose type and the newly added purpose type are not the same, continue the initial voice broadcast and broadcast the target voice according to the target voice broadcast engine.

[0093] Furthermore, the processor 420 can also be configured as follows:

[0094] Upon receiving a new usage type, update the engine resource configuration file;

[0095] The updated engine resource configuration file is read by the voice assistant, and the voice broadcast engine is initialized.

[0096] Furthermore, the processor 420 can also be configured as follows:

[0097] Updating the engine resource configuration file includes:

[0098] Add the new usage type to the engine resource configuration file.

[0099] Furthermore, the processor 420 can also be configured as follows:

[0100] The initialization process for the voice broadcast engine includes:

[0101] Match the usage type with the voice broadcast engine.

[0102] Furthermore, the processor 420 can also be configured as follows:

[0103] The initialization process for the voice broadcast engine also includes:

[0104] Create multiple voice broadcast engine instances based on their intended use;

[0105] Multiple voice broadcast engine instances are stored using a hash table.

[0106] Through the above technical solution, after the controller receives the new usage type of the voice broadcast sent by the application terminal, it sets the target stream type according to the new usage type through the voice assistant terminal; then, it determines the target voice broadcast engine based on the target stream type and the new usage type; next, it checks whether an initial voice broadcast is currently in progress; if an initial voice broadcast is in progress, it checks whether the usage type of the initial voice broadcast and the new usage type are the same type; if the usage type of the initial voice broadcast and the new usage type are the same type, it stops the initial voice broadcast and broadcasts the target voice according to the target voice broadcast engine. This application's solution improves the efficiency of setting the voice broadcast stream type by setting the usage type of the voice broadcast stream based on the usage type of the initial voice broadcast when there is a voice stream with a new usage type, without updating the entire system.

[0107] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a system for setting the type of voice broadcast stream, the system may include:

The controller 201 communicates with both the application terminal 202 and the voice assistant terminal 203. The application terminal 202 is configured to set a new usage type for the voice broadcast and send the new usage type to the controller 201. The voice assistant terminal 203 is configured to determine the target stream type and the target voice broadcast engine based on the new usage type and send the target stream type and the target voice broadcast engine to the controller 201. The controller 201 is configured to receive the new usage type for the voice broadcast sent by the application terminal 202, and the target stream type and the target voice broadcast engine sent by the voice assistant terminal 203. The target voice broadcast engine is determined based on the target stream type and the new usage type. It then checks if an initial voice broadcast is currently in progress. If an initial voice broadcast is in progress, it checks if the usage type of the initial broadcast and the new usage type are the same. If they are the same, the initial voice broadcast stops, and the target voice is broadcast using the target voice broadcast engine. Through multi-terminal interaction between the controller, application, and voice assistant, the voice broadcast stream type is set based on the usage type of the initial broadcast when there is a voice stream with a new usage type, without requiring an update to the entire system, thus improving the efficiency of setting the voice broadcast stream type.
