Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communications, and more particularly to communication methods, servers, and devices.

Background Art

[0002] Currently, most mobile phones have voice assistants. In addition, since voice assistants are incorporated into smartwatches, smart bands, and smart devices, voice assistants are a "standard configuration" for future devices.

[0003] After the voice assistant of a device is awakened, the voice assistant of the device performs corresponding operations according to the received voice command. However, since a single user may have multiple smart devices such as a mobile phone, a smartwatch, a tablet computer, and a wearable device, when the user sends a voice command to wake up the voice assistant, the voice assistants of multiple devices are awakened simultaneously.

[0050] The following clearly and fully describes the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Of course, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art of this technical field based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0051] It should be understood that the sequence numbers of the processes in various embodiments of the present invention do not mean the execution order. The execution order of the processes should be determined according to the functions and internal logics of the processes and should not be construed as a limitation in the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0052] It should be understood that the device related to this specification refers to a smart device or a mobile device that is closely related to the user's life. For example, the device may include, but is not limited to, smartphones, wearable devices, smart home households, and in-vehicle devices. Wearable devices may include, but are not limited to, smartwatches, bands, and smart glasses. In addition, the server related to this specification may be the voice assistant server in FIG. 1A, or another device capable of recognizing voice commands, or the controller in FIG. 1B capable of recognizing voice commands.

[0053] It should be understood that the "multiple devices of one user" related to this specification indicates that multiple devices have the same user account and remain wirelessly connected using the same user account.

[0054] It should be understood that the "voice command" related to this specification includes voice operation commands and / or voice wake-up commands.

[0055] Figure 1A is a schematic diagram of a scenario to which the communication method according to an embodiment of the present invention can be applied. As shown in Figure 1A, a voice assistant server communicates with multiple devices of one user, and the multiple devices can simultaneously receive the same voice wake-up command or voice operation command transmitted by the user. Figure 1A uses just an example where the voice assistant server communicates with a mobile phone, a wearable device, an in-vehicle device, and a smart home of one user. However, there is no limitation on the devices in this embodiment of the present invention.

[0056] Optionally, the multiple devices in Figure 1A may further form an ad hoc network as shown in Figure 1B. The controller of the ad hoc network may be an independent device, or may be any one of the multiple devices.

[0057] It should be understood that in this embodiment of the present invention, the voice assistant may be an integrated processing module in the device, or a client installed in the device. The client corresponding to the voice assistant may display a corresponding icon or interface on the display screen of the device, or may not display a corresponding icon or interface but only run in the background. The voice assistant may recognize corresponding voice data using pre-stored voice data. The voice assistant in this embodiment of the present invention may also be called an intelligent assistant, a personal organizer, etc. There is no limitation in this embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] The voice assistant server can receive a voice operation analysis request transmitted by a device, analyze the voice operation instruction carried in the voice operation analysis request, thereby determine the operation corresponding to the voice operation instruction, and deliver the instruction information of the operation to the device.

[0059] FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a communication method 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The server communicates with multiple devices of one user, and the multiple devices can simultaneously receive the same voice command transmitted by the user. The method 200 can be executed by a server (such as a voice assistant server or a controller in an ad hoc network). As shown in FIG. 2, the method 200 includes the following content.

[0060] 210. Receive information transmitted by each of the multiple devices of one user, and the information includes the device type.

[0061] 220. Determine, at least according to the received information, the device that responds to the voice command among the multiple devices.

[0062] The device that responds to the voice command performs the operation corresponding to the voice command.

[0063] 230. Send a message to a device different from the device that responds to the voice command among the multiple devices, and the message is used to instruct the voice assistant of the different device not to respond to the voice command.

[0064] Optionally, the message may further carry the identifier information of the device that responds to the voice command, thereby informing different devices that the device responds to the voice command.

[0065] The device type of each device may be any one of the following types: mobile phone, band, in-vehicle terminal, stereo, TV, etc. The device that responds to the voice command may also be referred to as a priority response device, a main device, an execution device, a preferred device, etc.

[0066] For example, the server may store in advance response priority information corresponding to a plurality of device types, and the server may determine a device that preferentially responds to a voice command according to the response priority corresponding to the device type. Assume that the server stores in advance, in descending order, the response priorities corresponding to the following device types: in-vehicle device, band, mobile phone, and stereo. If the device type received in step 210 is a band, an in-vehicle device, or a mobile phone, the server may determine that the in-vehicle device is the device that responds to the voice command according to the response priority information stored locally in advance.

[0067] Optionally, in step 230, the message transmitted to a device different from the device that responds to the voice command among the plurality of devices may further carry sleep command information, whereby the device that does not respond to the voice command enters a sleep state according to the sleep command information. The low-power voice wake-up module of the device entering the sleep state remains in a monitoring state but does not respond to the received voice command.

[0068] In this embodiment of the present invention, information transmitted by a plurality of devices of one user is received, and according to the information, a device that preferentially responds to a voice command is determined from the plurality of devices. In the case of a user having a plurality of different devices, the device that responds to the voice command can be intelligently selected, and a more convenient and natural human-machine communication experience is provided to the user.

[0069] If the user's device does not receive the message sent in step 230, for example, if the device does not receive the message sent by the server within a predetermined period, the device may be regarded as a device that responds to voice commands by default, that is, it should be understood that the device can respond to the received voice commands. For example, the device may send a voice motion analysis request carrying the voice command to the server, request the server to perform the operation corresponding to the voice command, and perform the operation. However, this embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the server may simultaneously send a message to the device that responds to voice commands in method 200, thereby instructing the device to respond to voice commands. After receiving the message, the device may request the server to perform the operation corresponding to the received voice command and perform the operation.

[0070] Optionally, the information sent by each device may further include at least one of the device's scene mode or voice command.

[0071] For example, the scene mode of each device may include any one of the following types: in driving, in the living room, in the bedroom, in exercise, at work, headset mode, loudspeaker mode, etc.

[0072] When the information transmitted by each device includes the device type and the scene mode, the voice assistant server or the controller may store in advance the priority information of the response devices corresponding to different device information, different scene modes, and different device types of one user. For example, Table 1 below shows the correspondence between the devices responding to voice commands, the device types, and the scene modes. After receiving the device types and scene modes of multiple devices, the server collates the scene modes and device types with the information stored in advance shown in Table 1. For example, if the scene mode is "driving" and the currently received device types include a mobile phone, a band, and an in-vehicle device, the server automatically selects the in-vehicle device as the current device responding to the voice command. In Table 1, the device type is used to indicate the device responding to the voice command, but it should be noted that this embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the server may also store in advance the correspondence between the device identifier and the device type. In the correspondence table shown in Table 1, the device identifier may also be used to indicate the device responding to the voice command.

[0073] It should be further understood that the content shown in Table 1 is only an example and is not intended to limit the scope of this embodiment of the present invention. The server may also store in advance the correspondence between a plurality of devices with set priorities and the device type, the scene mode, and / or the semantic meaning, and may set in advance the device with a relatively high priority among the plurality of devices as the device responding to the voice command. For example, if the device type received by the server does not include the device type stored in advance corresponding to the device with the highest priority, the server determines that the device with the second highest priority among the plurality of devices is the device responding to the voice command, etc.

[0074]

Table 1

[0075] When the information transmitted by each device further includes a device type and a voice command, step 220 correspondingly includes the step of recognizing the semantic meaning of the voice command, and the step of determining, according to the device type and the semantic meaning of the voice command, a device that responds to the voice command from a plurality of devices.

[0076] As shown in Table 1, the server may also pre-store the correspondence between the device responding to the voice command, the device type, and the semantic meaning. The server recognizes the semantic meaning of the voice command. For example, if the semantic meaning is "make a call" and the received device type includes a mobile phone and a headset, the server determines that the device responding to the voice command is a mobile phone.

[0077] When the information transmitted by each device includes a device type, a scene mode, and a voice command, step 220 specifically includes the step of recognizing the semantic meaning of the voice command, and the step of determining, according to the device type, the semantic meaning of the voice command, and the scene mode, a device that responds to the voice command from a plurality of devices.

[0078] As shown in Table 1, the server may also pre-store the correspondence between the device responding to the voice command, the scene mode, the device type, and the semantic meaning. For example, if the semantic meaning is "listen to music" and the obtained device type includes a mobile phone, a stereo, and an in-vehicle device, the server then obtains the scene mode of the device corresponding to the device type. For example, if the scene mode is "in the living room", the server determines that the current device responding to the voice command is a stereo. Of course, the server may also first determine the scene mode and then determine the current device responding to the voice command according to the semantic meaning.

[0079] ​​In this embodiment of the present invention, a device corresponding to a voice command is determined according to the semantic meaning of the voice command, the scene mode, and the device type, so that the device can be selected more accurately.

[0080] Optionally, method 200 may include a step of determining an operation corresponding to the voice command, and a step of transmitting instruction information used to instruct the operation to a device corresponding to the voice command. It may further include.

[0081] After the controller of the ad-hoc network determines the device corresponding to the voice command according to the device type and the scene mode, if the voice command cannot be parsed, the controller needs to send a message to the device corresponding to the voice command, thereby instructing the device corresponding to the voice command to send a voice operation analysis request for carrying the voice command to a server (such as a voice assistant server).

[0082] In conclusion, after the server determines the device corresponding to the voice command from multiple devices, the server may send a message to the device that does not respond to the voice command among the multiple devices, thereby instructing the voice assistant of the device that does not respond to the received voice command not to respond, or instructing the voice assistant of the device that does not respond to enter a sleep state. Optionally, the server may simultaneously send a message to the device corresponding to the voice command, thereby instructing the device to respond to the received voice command. In this case, only the voice assistant of the device corresponding to the voice command sends a voice operation analysis request to the server after receiving the voice operation command.

[0083] In this embodiment of the present invention, information transmitted by multiple devices of one user is received, and according to the information, a device that preferentially responds to a voice command is determined from the multiple devices. In the case of a user having multiple different devices, the device corresponding to the voice command can be intelligently selected, and a more convenient and natural human-machine communication experience is provided to the user.

[0084] Figure 3 is a schematic flowchart of a communication method 300 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The server communicates with multiple devices of 1 user, and the multiple devices can receive the same voice command sent by the user simultaneously. The communication method 300 may be executed by the server. As shown in Figure 3, the communication method 300 includes the following.

[0085] 310. Receive the same voice command sent by each of the multiple devices of 1 user.

[0086] 320. Determine the operation corresponding to the voice command.

[0087] 330. Send the instruction information used to instruct the operation to the device corresponding to the voice command among the multiple devices. The device corresponding to the voice command is determined according to the information sent by each of the multiple devices, and the information includes the device type.

[0088] In this embodiment of the present invention, the instruction information for the operation is automatically sent to the device corresponding to the voice command. In the case of a user having multiple different devices, the device corresponding to the voice command can be intelligently selected, and a more convenient and natural human-machine communication experience is provided to the user.

[0089] Optionally, before step 330, the communication method 300 includes a step of receiving the information sent by each of the multiple devices of 1 user, where the information includes the device type, and a step of determining the device corresponding to the voice command among the multiple devices according to the information. and may further include.

[0090] It should be understood that each device may send the information and the voice command separately, or may send the information and the voice command simultaneously. This embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0091] For example, after the server determines the response device from multiple devices, it subsequently receives the voice operation analysis requests sent by each of the multiple devices, determines the operations corresponding to the voice commands, and then sends the operation instruction information to the device corresponding to the voice command among the multiple devices.

[0092] Optionally, the communication method 300 may further include the step of sending a message to the device that does not respond to the voice command among the multiple devices, thereby notifying the device that the device corresponding to the voice command performs the corresponding operation, and instructing the device to enter the sleep state.

[0093] Optionally, the information sent by each device may further include at least one of the device's scene mode or the voice command.

[0094] In this embodiment of the present invention, it should be understood that for the method of determining the device corresponding to the voice command according to the information sent by each device, reference may be made to the relevant description of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2. To avoid repetition, the details are not described again here.

[0095] In this embodiment of the present invention, the operation instruction information is automatically sent to the device corresponding to the voice command. In the case of a user having multiple different devices, the device corresponding to the voice command can be intelligently selected, and a more convenient and natural human-machine communication experience is provided to the user.

[0096] Figure 4 is a schematic flowchart of a communication method 400 according to another embodiment of the present invention. A plurality of devices of one user can simultaneously receive the same voice command transmitted by the user. It should be understood that the connection states between a plurality of devices of one user and the server are classified into the following three cases. 1. The voice assistants of all devices of the user are connected to the server. 2. The voice assistants of some devices of the user are connected to the server, and the voice assistants of some other devices are not connected to the server. 3. None of the voice assistants of a plurality of devices of the user are connected to the server. The voice assistant of a device that is not connected to the server may be connected to the server after receiving a voice wake-up command transmitted by the user. Optionally, a plurality of devices of one user may further form an ad hoc network.

[0097] The communication method 400 may be executed by any one of a plurality of devices of one user. Specifically, the communication method 400 may be executed by a device or by a voice assistant of the device. As shown in FIG. 4, the communication method 400 includes the following content.

[0098] 410. Receive a first voice command.

[0099] 420. Enter the wake-up state according to the first voice command.

[0100] For example, the voice assistant of the device enters the wake-up state according to the first voice command.

[0101] The first voice command may be a voice wake-up command. The user or the device manufacturer may set the content corresponding to the voice wake-up command in a unit, module, or client corresponding to the voice assistant. For example, if the preset voice wake-up command is "hi,Allen", the voice assistant enters the wake-up state when it receives the voice command "hi,Allen".

[0102] 430. Obtain information, where the information includes the device type.

[0103] 440. Send the information to the server.

[0104] The server may be a voice assistant server or a controller within an ad-hoc network. The device sends information to the server, enabling the server to determine whether the device is one that responds to voice commands according to the information.

[0105] Optionally, the information may further include at least one of the device's scene mode or voice command.

[0106] Correspondingly, when the information includes the device type and the voice command, this instructs the device to send the device type and the voice command to the server simultaneously. Correspondingly, communication method 400 may further include the step of receiving instruction information transmitted by the server and used to instruct an operation corresponding to the voice command. The step of obtaining the voice command includes the step of receiving the voice command.

[0107] 450. Receive a first message transmitted by the server according to the information, where the first message is used to instruct the device's voice assistant not to respond to the voice command, or receive a second message transmitted by the server according to the information, where the second message is used to instruct the device's voice assistant to respond to the voice command.

[0108] In this embodiment of the present invention, information is obtained and the information is sent to the server, enabling the server to determine a device that responds to voice commands from multiple devices. In the case of a user having multiple different devices, the device that responds to the voice command can be intelligently selected, providing the user with a more convenient and natural human-machine interaction experience.

[0109] In this embodiment of the present invention, the response period of the device's voice assistant after being awakened can be further set, for example, to 1 minute. That is, after the user awakens the voice assistant using the voice command "hi,Allen", the voice assistant can only respond by directly receiving a voice command within the response period (e.g., 1 minute). For example, after the voice assistant receives a voice command such as "hi,Allen, open the map" and completes the voice operation of opening the map, the user may subsequently input the voice command "Go to Zhongguancun" to the voice assistant. The voice assistant can directly obtain and find the optimal route to Zhongguancun, and the user does not need to input a voice command such as "hi,Allen, Go to Zhongguancun" to the voice assistant, thereby facilitating user operation and improving the user experience. This content can be applied to all embodiments of the present invention without limitation.

[0110] Optionally, the first message received in step 450 may further carry sleep command information. Method 400 further includes the step of entering the sleep state according to the sleep command information.

[0111] In the sleep state, the device is still in a monitoring state, that is, the device can monitor voice commands (such as voice wake-up commands and / or voice operation commands, etc.) sent by the user, but does not respond to the received voice commands.

[0112] In step 450, when the first message sent by the server according to the information is received, communication method 400 includes the step of receiving a second voice command, and the step of omitting to respond to the second voice command, and may further include.

[0113] For example, the second voice command may be a voice operation command.

[0114] When a second message transmitted by the server is received according to the information, the communication method 500 includes receiving a third voice command; sending the third voice command to the server; receiving a third message transmitted by the server according to the third voice command, where the third message is used to instruct an operation corresponding to the third voice command; performing an operation corresponding to the third voice command according to the third message; and may further include.

[0115] For example, the third voice command may be a voice operation command.

[0116] It should be understood that the device may simultaneously send the acquired information and the received third voice command to the server, or may send the information and the third voice command to the server separately. This embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0117] Therefore, in this embodiment of the present invention, information is acquired and the information is sent to the server, whereby the server can determine a device that responds to a voice command from a plurality of devices. In the case of a user having a plurality of different devices, the device that responds to the voice command can be intelligently selected, and a more convenient and natural human-machine communication experience is provided to the user.

[0118] FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a communication method 500 according to another embodiment of the present invention. A plurality of devices of one user can simultaneously receive the same voice command transmitted by the user. The communication method 500 may be executed by any one of a plurality of devices of one user. Specifically, the communication method 500 may be executed by a device or by a voice assistant of the device. As shown in FIG. 5, the communication method 500 includes the following.

[0119] 510. Receive a first voice command.

[0120] 520. Enter the wake state according to the first voice command.

[0121] 530. Obtain information, where the information includes the device type.

[0122] 540. Send the information to the server.

[0123] 550. Receive the second voice command.

[0124] 560. Send the second voice command to the server.

[0125] 570. Receive the instruction information that is sent by the server according to the information and is used to instruct the operation corresponding to the second voice command.

[0126] The information may further include at least one of the scene mode of the device or the voice command.

[0127] It should be understood that the sequence numbers of the processes do not mean the execution order. The execution order of the processes should be determined by the functions and internal logics of the processes and should not be construed as a limitation in the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0128] For example, step 540 and step 560 may be performed separately or simultaneously. That is, the information and the second voice command may be sent to the server separately, or the information and the second voice command may be sent to the server simultaneously.

[0129] In this embodiment of the present invention, the acquired information and the received voice command are sent to the server, whereby the server can determine, according to the information, the device that responds to the voice command from multiple devices of one user, and send the instruction information of the operation corresponding to the voice command to the device that responds to the voice command. In the case of a user having multiple different devices, the device that responds to the voice command can be intelligently selected, and a more convenient and natural human-machine communication experience is provided to the user.

[0130] FIG. 6 is a schematic flowchart of a communication method 600 according to another embodiment of the present invention. A plurality of devices of a single user can simultaneously receive the same voice command transmitted by the user. The communication method 600 may be executed by any one of a plurality of devices of a single user. Specifically, the communication method 600 may be executed by a device or by a voice assistant of the device. As shown in FIG. 6, the communication method 600 includes the following.

[0131] 610. Receive a first voice command.

[0132] 620. Enter an awake state according to the first voice command.

[0133] 630. Receive a second voice command.

[0134] 640. Determine that the second voice command includes device information and respond to the second voice command.

[0135] It should be understood that device information is used to distinguish a plurality of devices of a single user. The device information may be a device type such as a mobile phone, a band, an in-vehicle device, or a stereo, or may be a device name, or may be a device number or the like. As long as a plurality of devices of a single user can be recognized, this embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

[0136] For example, a voice operation analysis request is sent to the server, and the voice operation analysis request carries the second voice command.

[0137] Correspondingly, when it is determined that the second voice command does not include device information, the device does not respond to the second voice command.

[0138] If the device recognizes that the second voice command does not contain device information, it should be understood that the device does not send a voice analysis request to the server. For example, the device may discard the second voice command. Instead, the device may stop processing the second voice command.

[0139] The device may store device information in advance. When the voice command received by the device contains device information, the device sends a voice operation analysis request to the server. When the voice command received by the device does not contain device information, the device does not respond to the voice command. Optionally, when the voice command received by the device does not contain device information, the device may send, for example, the device type, to the server, thereby requesting the server to determine the device that responds to the voice command from the user's multiple devices.

[0140] It should be understood that the first voice command may be a voice wake-up command, and the second voice command may be a voice operation command. In this embodiment of the present invention, the voice wake-up command and the voice operation command may be received simultaneously. For example, the voice command "hi, Allen, call Zhang San using the mobile phone" sent by the user is received. Instead, the voice wake-up command and the voice operation command may be received separately. For example, the voice wake-up command "hi, Allen" sent by the user is received first, thereby entering the wake-up state, and the voice operation command "call Zhang San using the mobile phone" sent by the user is received next within the response period. This embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

[0141] Therefore, in this embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that the received voice command contains device information, the voice command is automatically responded to, whereby the device that responds to the voice command can be intelligently selected, and a more convenient and natural human-machine communication experience is provided to the user.

[0142] The following will describe in detail a communication method according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to specific examples in FIGS. 7 to 11.

[0205] Step 1104: The server analyzes the voice operation command and obtains through analysis that the action to be performed is "make a call" and the person to call is "Zhang San".

[0206] Step 1105: The server returns a response message to the voice assistant of the first device, and this response message carries instruction information used to instruct an operation.

[0207] After receiving the response message, the voice assistant of the first device searches for Zhang San's phone number according to the instruction information and makes a call to Zhang San.

[0208] FIG. 12 is a schematic flowchart of a communication method 1200 according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 12, the communication method 1200 includes the following.

[0209] Step 1201: The first device, the second device, and the third device implement an ad hoc network.

[0210] Steps 1202a, 1202b, and 1202c: Each voice assistant of the first device, the second device, and the third device receives a voice command "hi, Allen, open the map", where "hi, Allen" is a voice wake-up command and "open the map" is a voice operation command.

[0211] Steps 1203a, 1203b, and 1203c: Each voice assistant of the first device, the second device, and the third device enters an awake state according to the voice wake-up command "hi, Allen", the voice assistant stores the voice operation command in a buffer, and obtains the scene mode and device type of the device to which the voice assistant belongs from the device.

[0212] Step 1204: The controller in the ad hoc network determines a device that responds to the voice command in this scene mode, such as the second device, according to the scene mode and the device type.

[0213] Step 1205a: The voice assistant of the first device receives a response message carrying sleep command information, and the voice assistant is informed that the second device has completed the operation corresponding to the voice operation command.

[0214] Step 1205b: The second device is a device that responds to voice commands, and thus the voice assistant of the second device is in an awakened state.

[0215] Step 1205c: The voice assistant of the third device receives a response message carrying sleep command information, and the voice assistant is informed that the voice assistant of the second device has completed the operation corresponding to the voice operation command.

[0216] Step 1206: The voice assistant of the second device sends a voice operation analysis request carrying the voice operation command "Open the map" to the server.

[0217] Step 1207: The server analyzes the voice operation command "Open the map" and determines that the operation to be performed by the voice assistant of the second device is "Open the map".
