Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional voice interaction modes are limited to direct interaction between a user and a terminal device, leading to restricted usage and poor user experience, especially when the user is far away from the device and manual operation is inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

A voice processing method and apparatus that utilizes a connected first terminal to receive a voice signal from a second wearable device, process it through a voice interaction model, and send it back to the second terminal for playback, enabling seamless voice interaction without manual operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If voice interaction is limited to direct interaction between user and terminal device, then the interaction process is simple, but the usage mode is restricted and user experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveusage modeVSAvoidinteraction process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component between the terminal device and the user. The server receives voice signals from the terminal device, performs voice recognition and text processing, generates response content, and returns the processed information to the terminal device for playback. This intermediary architecture enables indirect voice interaction, expanding usage scenarios to include remote interaction and multi-task processing while maintaining a relatively simple user-side interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If the user is far away from the terminal device and manual operation is inconvenient, then mobility is improved, but the ability to interact with the device is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanual operationVSAvoidinteraction capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical operations (touching, clicking, typing on the terminal device) with voice-based acoustic input. The user can issue commands and receive responses through voice signals transmitted to the terminal device, which then processes the voice input through the server and provides auditory feedback. This substitution allows users to interact with the device reliably from a distance without requiring physical contact or proximity to the terminal device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Productivity

If voice signal collection and processing are performed by the same terminal device, then the system structure is simple, but the processing efficiency and user experience are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the voice interaction system into distinct functional components: the terminal device handles voice signal collection and response playback, while the server handles voice recognition, text processing, and response generation. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall processing efficiency and enabling more complex interactions without significantly increasing the complexity perceived by the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a voice processing method and apparatus, a device, a storage medium and a product. The method comprises: receiving, in response to being in a connected state with the second terminal, a first voice signal sent by a second terminal, the first voice signal referring to a voice signal obtained by the second terminal by collecting a voice emitted by a target user; obtaining a second voice signal corresponding to the first voice signal through a voice interaction model, the second voice signal referring to a voice signal generated by a feedback text corresponding to a recognized text of the first voice signal; sending the second voice signal to the second terminal, the second voice signal being played by the second terminal. The second terminal completes the collection of the voice emitted by the target user, so that the target user needn't concern whether the first terminal can collect a clear voice signal any more. The present disclosure achieves voice interaction and improves the target user's experience without affecting the target user's experience in use.
