[0030] The following combination Figures 1 to 2 , the speech processing device provided by the embodiment of the utility model is described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0031] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a voice processing device 1, including a device body 11, a sound pickup module 12, a power supply 13, a display screen 14 and a control mainboard 15. The sound pickup module 12, the power supply 13, the display screen 14 and the control mainboard 15 are all installed on the device body 11. A voice key 16 is installed on the device body 11. The control mainboard 15 includes a central processing unit 151, a power management module 152 and a wireless communication module 153. The central processing unit 151 controls the power management module 152 to turn on the power supply 13 based on the trigger signal of the voice key 16, and controls the sound pickup module 12 to start picking up sound after the power supply 13 is turned on, and controls the wireless communication module 153 to upload the sound picked up by the sound pickup module 12 to the cloud 2 for voice processing, so that the display screen 14 can display the voice processing result after the voice processing device 1 is turned on.

[0032] It is understandable that the device body 11 provides an installation support for the sound pickup module 12, power supply 13, display screen 14 and control main board 15. The sound pickup module 12 is used to collect the user's voice information, and the display screen 14 is used to display the voice processing results.

[0033] In actual application, the user inputs the voice key 16, and the voice key 16 generates a trigger signal and feeds it back to the central processing unit 151. The trigger signal includes three: a pickup start signal, a power start signal, and a networking signal. The central processing unit 151 receives the three trigger signals, sorts the three trigger signals, and processes them in the order of the power start signal, the voice pickup start signal, and the networking signal. Specifically, the central processing unit 151 first receives the power start signal, sends a power 13 start instruction to the power management module 152, controls the power management module 152 to turn on the power 13, so that the power 13 of the voice processing device 1 is started, and the entire device is in the on state. Then, while the system and various components of the entire device are initializing parameters, the central processing unit 151 receives the pickup start signal again, and the central processing unit 151 sends a power start instruction to the voice pickup module 152. 2 sends a start instruction, and the central processing unit 151 controls the sound pickup module 12 to perform the sound pickup operation. At this time, although the voice processing device 1 is still in the start-up stage, the user can already issue voice instructions and collect the user's voice data through the sound pickup module 12. Finally, while the voice processing device 1 is being turned on and the sound pickup module 12 is collecting the user's voice data, the central processing unit 151 receives the network signal, and the central processing unit 151 sends a start instruction to the wireless communication module 153. The central processing unit 151 controls the wireless communication module 153 to upload the sound content picked up by the sound pickup module 12 to the cloud 2. The cloud 2 uses cloud computing to complete the recognition and semantic understanding of the picked-up content, obtain the recognized text, and transmit the recognized text back to the central processing unit 151 through the wireless communication module 153. The central processing unit 151 controls the display screen 14 to display the recognized text.

[0034] Since the voice button 16 of this embodiment can directly trigger the power supply 13 to be turned on, the sound pickup module 12 to be turned on, and the signal transmission of the wireless communication module 153, during the process of the power supply 13 being turned on and the voice processing device 1 being initialized, the sound pickup module 12 can synchronously pick up the user's voice input, and during the process of the power supply 13 being turned on and the sound pickup module 12 being turned on, the wireless communication module 153 can upload the picked-up sound content to the cloud 2 for voice processing. After the voice processing device 1 is started up, the voice processing result is immediately displayed on the display screen 14. Since the voice pickup and the cloud 2 processing of the picked-up sound content are completed synchronously with the startup of the voice processing device 1, compared with the conventional voice processing device 1 being turned on, waiting for the startup of the voice processing device 1 to be completed before voice input and voice processing, and finally displaying the voice processing result, the user of this embodiment has a shorter waiting time when performing the sound pickup operation, and the user can quickly obtain the voice processing result.

[0035] Optionally, the speech processing device 1 of this embodiment can perform word lookup and translation, question search, or meeting minutes recording, etc.

[0036] Specifically, the voice key 16 can be a button, a knob, or a dip switch; the central processing unit 151 can be a single chip microcomputer or a PLC controller.

[0037] The voice processing device 1 provided by the present invention can, by triggering input on the voice key 16, enable the central processing unit 151 to control the power management module 152 to turn on the power 13, control the sound pickup module 12 to start sound pickup, and control the wireless communication module 153 to upload the picked-up sound content to the cloud 2 for sound pickup processing. During the startup process of the voice processing device 1, sound pickup and voice processing are completed synchronously, so that the voice processing result can be immediately displayed on the display screen 14 after the voice processing device 1 is started. This improves the voice processing efficiency of the voice processing device 1 and eliminates the need for the user to wait for the startup to be completed before voice pickup. After the user inputs the voice key 16, voice pickup and voice processing results are quickly obtained, effectively improving the user experience.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the wireless communication module 153 of this embodiment is a cellular network module.

[0039] It is understandable that the cellular network module allows communication through the cellular network. The cellular network module usually integrates baseband chips, memory and power amplifier devices, and provides standardized interface functions, enabling the device to achieve data transmission with a long transmission distance and strong penetration, and is suitable for a variety of scenarios.

[0040] The cellular network module of this embodiment transfers data processing and storage to the cloud 2. Since the cloud computing of the cloud 2 can provide powerful data processing capabilities, the cellular network module is connected to the cloud 2 via a high-speed cellular network, which can achieve fast data transmission and processing, thereby significantly reducing latency. In addition, the cloud 2 can provide an efficient large-scale data set, improve the speed and accuracy of data processing, so that the sound content picked up by the sound pickup module 12 can be quickly recognized and processed in the cloud 2, thereby improving the efficiency of voice processing.

[0041] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the startup time of the power supply 13 in this embodiment is shorter than the startup time of the sound pickup module 12 , and the startup time of the sound pickup module 12 is shorter than the startup time of the wireless communication module 153 .

[0042] It can be understood that, since the startup time of the power supply 13 in this embodiment is shorter than the startup time of the sound pickup module 12, the sound pickup module 12 does not need to wait for the power supply 13 to be turned on. The startup of the power supply 13 is completed earlier than the startup of the sound pickup module 12. After the startup of the sound pickup module 12 is completed, the sound pickup is immediately started, and the startup and sound pickup of the sound pickup module 12 can be seamlessly connected.

[0043] Since the startup time of the sound pickup module 12 is shorter than the startup time of the wireless communication module 153, the sound pickup module 12 starts picking up sound immediately after completing the startup. The sound pickup process can be carried out synchronously with the startup process of the wireless communication module 153. After the wireless communication module 153 is started, the picked up audio information can be uploaded to the cloud for information processing. There can be a short interval between the completion of sound pickup and the uploading of the picked up content.

[0044] In this embodiment, the startup time of the power supply 13 is set to be shorter than the startup time of the sound pickup module 12, and the startup time of the sound pickup module 12 is set to be shorter than the startup time of the wireless communication module 153. This can shorten the interval time between the startup of the sound pickup module 12, sound pickup, and uploading of the picked-up content, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the voice processing device 1.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the startup time of the power supply 13 and the sound pickup module 12 of this embodiment is both in the millisecond level, and the startup time of the wireless communication module 153 is in the second level, so that the wireless communication module 153 is started after the power supply 13 and the sound pickup module 12, so as to start the power supply 13 and the sound pickup module 12 in advance.

[0046] It is understood that the startup time of the power supply 13 in this embodiment is in milliseconds, for example, the power supply 13 is started within 10 milliseconds. The startup time of the sound pickup module 12 is also in milliseconds, for example, the sound pickup module 12 is started within 100 milliseconds. The startup time of the wireless communication module 153 is in seconds, for example, the wireless communication module 153 is started within 2 seconds.

[0047] This embodiment sets the startup time of the power supply 13 and the sound pickup module 12 to milliseconds, and the startup time of the wireless communication module 153 to seconds. This allows the power supply 13, the sound pickup module 12, and the wireless communication module 153 to be started quickly, and allows the wireless communication module 153 to be started after the sound pickup module 12 is started, so as to upload audio information to the cloud and improve the user experience.

[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the voice processing device 1 of this embodiment further includes an indication unit 17 , which is connected to the control mainboard 15 . The control mainboard 15 controls the indication unit 17 to provide indication information when the sound pickup module 12 is in a recording state.

[0049] It is understandable that the indicator unit 17 can prompt the user that the sound pickup module 12 is in the recording state and can perform voice input, and prompt the user that the recording state is over and no longer needs to input voice, so as to avoid the user waiting for too long or the user still performing voice input after the recording state is over. Based on the prompt of the indicator unit 17, the user can easily distinguish between the different states of recording and stopping recording, which improves the intuitiveness of recording or not and provides a better user experience.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the indication unit 17 of this embodiment is an indicator light or a sound indicator, or an indication pattern is displayed on the display screen 14 as the indication unit 17 .

[0051] It is understood that the indicator light can use different colors to indicate whether the sound pickup module 12 is in the recording state or the non-recording state. For example, when the indicator light is green, it can indicate that the sound pickup module 12 is in the recording state, and when the indicator light is red, it can indicate that the sound pickup module 12 is in the non-recording state. The indicator light can be an LED light. The indicator light uses color to distinguish between the recording and non-recording states, allowing the user to intuitively understand the working status of the sound pickup module 12 through different colors, which is convenient to operate.

[0052] The sound indicator plays different prompt sounds to indicate whether the sound pickup module 12 is in the recording state or the non-recording state. For example, the sound indicator plays a "beep" sound to indicate that recording has started, and the sound indicator plays a "beep" sound to indicate that recording has ended. The sound indicator can use different sounds to remind the user of the different working states of the sound pickup module 12, and the prompt effect is good.

[0053] The indicator pattern can be implemented on the display screen 14 to display different indicators, indicating whether the sound pickup module 12 is in the recording state or the non-recording state. For example, a microphone indicator pattern indicates the start of recording, while a cross indicator pattern indicates the end of recording. The indicator pattern can be an LCD screen pattern. The indicator pattern can intuitively display the different operating states of the sound pickup module 12 through different patterns, facilitating user operation.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the speech processing device 1 of this embodiment further includes a speaker 18 , the device body 11 is provided with a sound outlet 111 , and the sound outlet end of the speaker 18 faces the sound outlet 111 .

[0055] It is understandable that the speaker 18 is used to play the voice output of the voice processing device 1, and can also be used to play music or other audio content.

[0056] The speaker 18 transmits the sound from the device body 11 to the outside of the device body 11 through the sound outlet 111. The sound outlet 111 serves as a sound channel for the speaker 18, ensuring that the sound of the speaker 18 can be transmitted clearly.

[0057] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, a sound pickup hole is provided on the front of the device body 11 of this embodiment, the sound pickup module 12 is arranged toward the sound pickup hole, and the speaker 18 is located on the top of the device body 11.

[0058] It can be understood that the sound pickup hole is an opening for receiving the user's voice input. Since the user operates facing the front of the device body 11, the sound pickup hole is arranged on the front of the device body 11, so that the sound pickup hole is facing the user's sound source, so that the user's voice can be collected by the sound pickup hole as much as possible, so that the sound pickup effect is better. In addition, in order to prevent the sound emitted by the speaker 18 from entering the sound pickup hole, the speaker 18 is set at the top of the device body 11, so that the propagation path of the sound emitted by the speaker 18 does not pass through the sound pickup hole, so that the speaker 18 does not interfere with the sound pickup module 12.

[0059] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the speech processing device 1 of this embodiment is a dictionary pen or a translation pen.

[0060] It is understandable that when the voice processing device 1 of this embodiment is a dictionary pen or a translation pen, the user can directly trigger the voice key 16 when he needs to translate words, conversations or paragraphs. The user inputs the voice of words, conversations or paragraphs through the sound pickup module 12. The dictionary pen or translation pen uploads the picked-up content to the cloud 2 through the wireless communication module 153 to complete the voice processing of the picked-up content. After the startup process of the dictionary pen or translation pen is completed, the translation results of the words, conversations or paragraphs are displayed on the display screen 14 in a timely manner. The user can obtain the translation results quickly, and the translation efficiency of the dictionary pen or translation pen is greatly improved.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the power source 13 of this embodiment is a rechargeable battery, and the device body 11 is provided with a charging interface, which is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery.

[0062] It is understandable that the rechargeable battery can be charged and reused multiple times, reducing the cost of the power supply 13. In addition, the charging interface can be set to a commonly used USB or TYPE-C interface, and the voice processing device 1 can be easily charged using a universal data cable, which is simple and fast.

[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
