Description

Technical Field

[0002] Voice interaction technology is becoming more and more integrated into the lives of ordinary people. Various voice-controlled devices (such as air conditioners, range hoods, steamers, ovens, etc.) and various smart speakers can often be seen on the market.

[0003] At present, smart speakers and devices are independent of each other, and the linkage between speakers and devices mostly adopts WIFI (wireless communication network) or Bluetooth technology, so they cannot share a power supply system. By embedding a voice acquisition module in the device, when the voice acquisition module of the device receives a specific wake-up command, VAD (Voice Activity Detection, VAD) is turned on, and the front-end microphone (MIC) array collects voice data. After the original voice data is collected, it is processed by Codec (codec) and noise reduction to obtain effective voice data and sent to the smart voice chip for processing, and then sent to the cloud for analysis or matching with the control instructions stored locally. After the matching is completed, the corresponding control signal is sent to the host computer or MCU (micro control unit) of the appliance through a wired connection or infrared method, thereby realizing voice control of the device. Among them, because the interface needs to be connected by a wired connection, the application of this type of smart speaker has many limitations in scope and structural layout, and cannot break the limitation of space, that is, it cannot realize the convenience of smart speakers that can be taken and placed at any time.

Therefore, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] This embodiment provides a combined intelligent device. Figure 1 The combined smart device includes a first device 1, a second device 2 and a connection component 3. The first device 1 includes a control module 11, a first communication interface 12 and a first wireless communication module 13. The second device 2 includes a processing module 21, a second communication interface 22 and a second wireless communication module 23.

[0029] The first device 1 is connected to the second device 2 via the connection component 3.

The first wireless communication module 13 is electrically connected to the second wireless communication module 23. The processing module 21 is electrically connected to the second wireless communication module 23 via the second communication interface 22.

[0030] In specific implementation, when the control module 11 of the first device 1 receives a control instruction from the user, it will send the control instruction to the first wireless communication module 13 through the first communication interface 12; the second wireless communication module 23 will send the control instruction to the second wireless communication module 23, and the second wireless communication module 23 will then send the control instruction to the processing module 21 of the second device 2 through the second communication interface 22, so as to realize voice control of the second device 2 by the first device 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, two originally independently set devices are connected to each other through a connector, thereby realizing the integration of multiple devices. At the same time, the control signal of the first device is wirelessly transmitted to the second device through a wireless communication module, realizing the wireless control signal transmission function of multiple devices, reducing the hardware cost of communication and improving the user experience.

[0033] Specifically, the first connecting member includes an N-pole magnet, and the second connecting member includes an S-pole magnet.

[0034] It should be noted that as long as the first device and the second device can be connected to each other, the connection method is not limited to NS pole magnets, but may also include screws, nuts, bonding methods, etc., which are no longer limited here.

[0035] In this embodiment, an N-pole magnet is set on the first device 1, and an S-pole magnet is set on the second device relatively; or an S-pole magnet is set on the first device, and an N-pole magnet is set on the second device relatively, so that the first device can be attracted to the second device, thereby realizing the integration of multiple devices.

[0041] In specific implementation, when the control module 11 of the first device 1 receives a wireless charging instruction, the wireless charging instruction will be sent to the receiving end of the wireless charging module 14 through the first communication interface 12; the receiving end of the wireless charging module 14 loads the electromagnetic wave in a specific coding manner through the wireless coil and sends it to the transmitting end of the wireless power supply module 24; finally, after the transmitting end of the wireless power supply module 24 receives the wireless charging instruction, it sends the wireless charging instruction to the processing module 21 of the second device 2 through the second communication interface 22, so as to realize the function of wireless charging of the first device 1 through the power supply system of the second device 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, wireless charging of the first device is achieved through the wireless charging module, which realizes the unified function of the power supply system of the first device and the second device, reduces the wired connection between the devices, enhances the mobility of multiple devices, and improves the user experience.
