[0015] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure.

Various embodiments are described throughout this document, and embodiments of any type may be included under any section / subsection. Furthermore, embodiments described in any section / subsection may be combined in any way with any other embodiments described in the same section / subsection and / or different sections / subsections.

[0017] In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, the term "comprising" and similar terms should be understood as open-ended inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment".

[0018] The embodiments of this disclosure may involve user data, data acquisition, and / or use. All of these aspects comply with applicable laws, regulations, and relevant provisions. In the embodiments of this disclosure, all data collection, acquisition, processing, manipulation, forwarding, and use are conducted with the user's knowledge and confirmation. Accordingly, in implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, the type, scope of use, and usage scenarios of any data or information that may be involved should be communicated to the user and their authorization obtained in accordance with relevant laws and regulations through appropriate means.

[0019] In this specification and the embodiments, any processing of personal information will be carried out only under the premise of legality (such as obtaining the consent of the personal information subject, or being necessary for the performance of a contract), and will only be carried out within the scope stipulated or agreed upon. A user's refusal to process personal information other than that necessary for basic functions will not affect the user's use of basic functions.

[0020] As mentioned above, voice interaction is an important interactive capability. For example, some terminal devices can deploy voice assistants to interact with users via voice. Traditional solutions typically involve waking up the voice assistant with voice commands. However, this wake-up method is not suitable for certain voice interaction scenarios (e.g., noisy public places), thus affecting the user's voice interaction experience.

[0021] Embodiments of this disclosure propose a voice interaction scheme. According to this scheme, the interactive device can respond to a preset operation on the interactive device by controlling the audio acquisition unit of the interactive device to start acquiring a first voice signal, wherein the interactive device is adapted to be worn on the user's finger.

[0022] Furthermore, the interactive device can acquire the first voice signal collected by the audio acquisition unit and send the first voice signal to a terminal device connected to the interactive device, so that the terminal device can use the first voice signal to generate a second voice signal.

[0023] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure enable voice interaction via an interactive device suitable for wearing on a finger. Specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure can activate the voice interaction capability of a terminal device by detecting preset operations on the interactive device. Furthermore, by utilizing the audio acquisition unit on the interactive device to acquire voice signals and provide them to the terminal device, embodiments of the present disclosure can support more voice interaction scenarios and improve the efficiency of voice interaction.

[0024] The following section provides a detailed description of various example implementations of this scheme, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example Environment

[0026] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. For example... Figure 1 As shown, example environment 100 may include terminal device 110.

[0027] In this example environment 100, terminal device 110 may run an application 120 that supports voice interaction. Application 120 may include, but is not limited to, voice assistant applications, digital assistant applications, etc. User 140 may interact with application 120 via terminal device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, terminal device 110 can also be connected to interactive device 160. Interactive device 160 can be worn on the finger of user 140. As an example, interactive device 160 can be in the form of a ring or other suitable device.

[0029] In some embodiments, the interactive device 160 may include an audio acquisition unit, such as a microphone or microphone array. After detecting a preset operation by the user 140, the audio acquisition device of the interactive device 160 may begin to acquire the user's voice signal for voice interaction with the terminal device 110.

[0030] As will be detailed below, user 140 can activate the voice processing capability of terminal device 110 by interacting with interactive device 160. The specific process of voice interaction will be described in detail below. Figure 2 Detailed description.

[0031] exist Figure 1 In environment 100, if application 120 is active, terminal device 110 can also present interface 150 for supporting user interface interaction through application 120. As an example, interface 150 may be an interactive interface with a digital assistant, for example, to demonstrate the interaction process between the user and the digital assistant. This disclosure is not intended to limit the specific form of interface 150.

[0032] In some embodiments, terminal device 110 communicates with server 130 to provide services to application 120. Terminal device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, handheld computers, portable gaming terminals, VR / AR devices, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, terminal device 110 can also support any type of user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry).

[0033] Server 130 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0035] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0036] The following description will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will provide some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

[0037] Example voice interaction process

[0038] The voice interaction process according to embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 2 A flowchart 200 of a voice interaction process according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, at 205, the interactive device 160 can detect a preset operation for the interactive device 160 to control the audio acquisition unit in the interactive device 160 to start acquiring the first voice signal.

[0040] In some embodiments, the interactive device 160 may be equipped with buttons. The buttons may include physical buttons or pressure-sensitive buttons. The interactive device 160 may, for example, detect interaction operations on the buttons to detect preset interactions on the interactive device 160.

[0041] For example, the interactive device 160 can detect the user 140 pressing a physical button. Alternatively, the interactive device 160 can also detect the pressing of a pressure-sensitive button using a pressure-sensitive haptic sensor.

[0042] In some embodiments, such a press may include appropriate pressing operations such as single click, double click, or long press. In some embodiments, the specific button operation used to trigger the audio acquisition unit of the interactive device 160 may be determined based on the configuration of the user 140. As an example, the user may configure the specific button operation type via the interface 150 provided by the application 120.

[0043] By setting a button for waking up voice interaction on the interactive device 160, embodiments of this disclosure can enable users to achieve more efficient voice wake-up through an interactive device worn on their fingers, and reduce the probability of accidental operation.

[0044] In some embodiments, the interactive device 160 may also use an audio acquisition unit to detect whether a preset audio input has been received, so as to detect a preset interaction for the interactive device 160.

[0045] In some embodiments, the interactive device 160 may utilize an audio acquisition unit (e.g., a microphone) to perform sound detection. When a sound with a volume exceeding a threshold is detected, the interactive device 160 may determine that a preset audio input has been received and may utilize the audio acquisition unit to begin recording.

[0046] In other embodiments, the preset audio input may also include preset voice content, such as a wake-up word. The interactive device 160 may use an audio acquisition unit to receive the voice content output by the user 140, and the interactive device 160 or the terminal device 110 may determine whether the voice content matches the preset voice content, such as whether it includes a preset wake-up word.

[0047] When the preset voice content is detected, the interactive device 160 can determine that the preset audio input has been received and can start recording using the audio acquisition unit.

[0048] In other examples, after detecting a preset audio input, the interactive device 160 can further detect whether human voice content has been received. Specifically, the received voice signal can be processed by the interactive device 160 or the terminal device 110 to determine whether human voice content has been received. After detecting human voice content, the interactive device 160 can start recording using the audio acquisition unit, instead of starting recording immediately after receiving the preset audio input. In this way, embodiments of this disclosure can further provide the effectiveness of audio acquisition.

[0049] In some embodiments, the interactive device 160 may also detect preset interactions for the interactive device 160 by detecting preset haptic movements associated with the interactive device 160.

[0050] Specifically, such preset motion-sensing actions may include, for example, actions associated with the user's hand. In some embodiments, the interactive device 160 or the terminal device 110 may detect the user's wrist movements using motion sensors (e.g., accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc.) within the interactive device 160. For example, if the interactive device 160 detects that a user wearing the interactive device 160 has performed a wrist-raising motion, the interactive device 160 may begin recording using an audio acquisition unit.

[0051] In some embodiments, the interactive device 160 or the terminal device 110 can detect the user 140's hand gestures using motion sensors (e.g., accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc.) within the interactive device 160. For example, if the interactive device 160 detects that a user wearing the interactive device 160 has performed a two-finger pinch gesture, the interactive device 160 can start recording using an audio acquisition unit.

[0052] In some embodiments, such preset motion-sensing actions can also be determined based on configuration operations performed by user 140. As an example, user 140 can configure the motion-sensing action via interface 150 provided by terminal device 110. For example, user 140 can select a provided preset motion-sensing action, or can collect a custom motion-sensing action.

[0053] In some embodiments, the interactive device 160 may also activate the audio acquisition unit based on a combination of various methods to acquire the first voice signal.

[0054] As an example, the interactive device 160 can first detect a preset motion-sensing action associated with the interactive device 160, such as the wrist-raising action or gesture mentioned above. Further, after detecting the preset motion-sensing action, the interactive device 160 can activate the audio acquisition unit (e.g., a microphone) at the interactive device 160.

[0055] Furthermore, the interactive device 160 can use the activated audio acquisition unit to detect a preset audio input in order to determine whether to use the audio acquisition unit to acquire the first speech signal.

[0056] The above describes a combination of motion-activated wake-up and audio-activated wake-up. In another example, the interactive device 160 may also support a combination of button-activated wake-up and audio-activated wake-up. For example, the interactive device 160 may activate the audio acquisition unit after detecting a button press and further detect a preset audio input to determine whether to use the audio acquisition unit to acquire a first voice signal.

[0057] The above describes different wake-up methods for activating voice interaction. In some embodiments, the interactive device 160 may support multiple wake-up methods simultaneously. Additionally, the wake-up methods supported by the interactive device 160 (e.g., the operation type of the interactive operation, etc.) may also be determined based on the configuration operation of the user 140.

[0058] As an example, user 140 can configure support for button wake-up and motion wake-up via interface 150 provided by terminal device 110. In this case, when a button press or a preset motion action is detected, interactive device 160 can correspondingly control the audio acquisition unit to acquire a first voice signal.

[0059] Continue to refer to Figure 2 At 210, the interactive device 160 can use the audio acquisition unit to acquire a first voice signal. In some embodiments, the interactive device 160 can respond to the above wake-up method to turn on the audio acquisition unit and start recording.

[0060] In other embodiments, after the audio acquisition unit is turned on, the interactive device 160 or the terminal device 110 may also perform human voice detection on the audio signal acquired by the audio acquisition unit, and if it is determined that there is human voice content, start recording to acquire the first voice signal.

[0061] In some embodiments, taking a button-activated wake-up method as an example, the interactive device 160 can also detect the button's pressed state. While the button remains pressed, the interactive device 160 can control the audio acquisition device to begin acquiring a first voice signal.

[0062] For example, user 140 can trigger the audio acquisition unit to start recording by pressing and holding a button on interactive device 160. During the period the button is pressed, the audio acquisition unit continues to record, and after the pressing state ends, the audio acquisition unit stops recording, thereby completing the acquisition of the first voice signal.

[0063] As an example, under different triggering methods, the interactive device 160 can determine the end of the first voice signal acquisition in different ways. For example, the interactive device 160 can determine the completion of the first voice signal acquisition based on the end of the button press state.

[0064] As another example, the interactive device 160 or the terminal device 110 can detect whether human voice content is continuously received for a preset duration (e.g., 3 seconds). If not, the interactive device 160 can determine that the acquisition of the first voice signal has been completed.

[0065] As another example, the interactive device 160 can also detect preset haptic movements to determine the completion of the acquisition of the first voice signal. For example, when waking up the voice interaction by raising the wrist, the interactive device 160 can detect the haptic movement of the user lowering their wrist, and upon detecting this haptic movement, complete the acquisition of the first voice signal.

[0066] In some embodiments, the interactive device 160 may also include a notification unit. Taking a ring as an example, the notification unit may include a signal light disposed on the ring. The signal light may be disposed on the front of the ring, for example, a breathing light. Alternatively, the signal light may be disposed on the side of the ring, for example, a ring light.

[0067] In some embodiments, in response to the audio acquisition unit starting to acquire a first voice signal, the interactive device 160 may use an alert unit to present a first alert signal. For example, during audio acquisition unit activation or recording, an indicator light may remain constantly on to indicate that audio acquisition is currently in progress.

[0068] Continue to refer to Figure 2 After the first voice signal is acquired, at 215, the interactive device 160 can send the first voice signal to the terminal device 110.

[0069] Furthermore, at 220, terminal device 110 can use the received first voice signal to generate a second voice signal.

[0070] In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 may process the first voice signal using a locally deployed application or model to generate a second voice signal. For example, the terminal device 110 may have a locally deployed voice processing model to generate a second voice signal based on the first voice signal as a response to the first voice signal.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, terminal device 110 can also generate a second voice signal based on communication with server 130. As an example, server 130 can provide voice interaction services associated with application 140.

[0072] At 225, after receiving the first voice signal, the terminal device 110 can send the first voice signal to the server 130. The server 130 can, for example, generate a corresponding second voice signal based on the first voice signal.

[0073] As an example, server 130 may convert the first speech signal into first text content and provide it to a model associated with application 140 to generate second text content. Further, server 130 may generate a corresponding second speech signal based on the second text content.

[0074] It should be understood that such a model can include any suitable generative model, such as a language model. Alternatively, the model can also directly process the first speech signal to generate a second speech signal, for example.

[0075] At 230, terminal device 110 can obtain the generated second voice signal from server 130. In some embodiments, the second voice signal can be played by terminal device 110 or audio device 202 connected to terminal device 110. In some embodiments, audio device 202 may include an external audio device connected to terminal device 110 and having an audio playback unit, such as headphones, speakers, etc.

[0076] In some embodiments, although the interactive device 160 and the audio device 202 are in Figure 2 The audio device 202 can also be an interactive device 160 with audio playback units (e.g., speakers or speaker arrays) deployed, as shown in two separate boxes.

[0077] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, further, at 235, terminal device 110 can control the playback of the second voice signal. For example, at 240, terminal device 110 can send the second voice signal to audio device 202 to play the second voice signal using audio device 202. As another example, at 245, terminal device 110 can send the second voice signal to interactive device 160 to play the second voice signal using the audio playback unit of interactive device 160.

[0078] In some embodiments, when the terminal device 110 is connected to multiple devices with audio playback capabilities, the terminal device 110 can select a specific device for playback according to a preset strategy. This disclosure is not intended to limit the specific selection strategy.

[0079] In some embodiments, during the playback of the second voice signal, the reminder unit at the interactive device may present a second reminder signal. For example, a signal light may be flashing.

[0080] In some embodiments, during the playback of the second voice signal, the interactive device 160 may also detect a specific operation performed on the interactive device 160. In response to detecting the specific operation, the interactive device 160 may control the second voice signal to stop playing.

[0081] For example, this specific operation may include interactive operation of the buttons on the interactive device 160. For example, while playing a second voice signal using the terminal device 110, an external audio device, or the interactive device 160, if a press of a button on the interactive device 160 by the user 140 is received, the playback of the second voice signal can be stopped.

[0082] Based on the voice interaction process described above, embodiments of this disclosure enable voice interaction through an interactive device suitable for wearing on a finger. Specifically, embodiments of this disclosure can activate the voice interaction capability of a terminal device by detecting preset operations performed on the interactive device. Furthermore, by utilizing the audio acquisition unit on the interactive device to acquire voice signals and provide them to the terminal device, embodiments of this disclosure can support more voice interaction scenarios and improve the efficiency of voice interaction.
