Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in accurately exiting voice skills on smart devices due to unclear or unknown voice skill names, leading to poor fluency and user experience in voice interactions.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that receive user voice instructions, identify target exit intentions using preset grammar rules, and execute corresponding operations on the device, distinguishing between power off, clear exit, and fuzzy exit intentions to enhance user interaction and exit experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the system requires users to clearly state the voice skill name to exit, then the system can accurately identify the exit intention, but the user interaction becomes complicated and inconvenient when users don't know the skill name

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexit intention identification accuracyVSAvoiduser interaction convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically identifies and executes exit operations by analyzing user voice instructions against grammar rules, eliminating the need for users to manually specify skill names. The system serves itself by autonomously determining user intent and performing the appropriate exit action.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of exit intention recognition from requiring exact skill name matching to using grammar rule-based pattern matching. This allows flexible interpretation of user intent through various voice patterns without needing precise skill name identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system supports multiple exit scenarios with different operations, then user requirements are better met, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexit scenario coverageVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments exit intentions into distinct categories (power off intention, clear exit intention, fuzzy exit intention) with specific grammar rules for each. This segmentation allows the system to handle diverse exit scenarios through modular, organized rule sets rather than a monolithic complex structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A single unified grammar rule matching mechanism handles multiple types of exit intentions and scenarios. The same core processing framework adapts to different exit contexts (power off, skill exit, pause) through configurable grammar rules, providing multi-functionality without proportional increases in system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A method for exiting a voice skill, an apparatus, a device, and a storage medium are provided by embodiments of the present disclosure, wherein a user voice instruction is received; a target exit intention corresponding to the user voice instruction is identified according to the user voice instruction and a grammar rule of a preset exit intention; and a corresponding operation is executed on a current voice skill of a device according to the target exit intention. The embodiments of the present disclosure refine and expand the user's exit intention. After the target exit intention to which the user voice instruction belongs is identified, the corresponding operation is executed according to the target exit intention so as to meet the users' different exit requirements for the voice skills, enhance the fluency and convenience of user interaction with the device and improve the user's exit experience when using the voice skills.
