Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional voice interaction scenarios are limited to direct interaction between a user and a terminal device, making it difficult for users to interact when far away from the device, and requiring manual operation, which affects user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method where a first terminal receives a voice signal from a second terminal worn by the user, processes it through a voice interaction model, and sends it back to the second terminal for playback, enabling voice interaction without manual operation and improving user experience.

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 terminal device can process voice signals directly, but users cannot interact when far away from the device

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction distanceVSAvoiduser accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the voice interaction function into two parts: the second terminal (wearable device) collects voice signals from the user, and the first terminal (smartphone) processes the voice signals through the voice interaction model. This segmentation allows users to interact from a distance while maintaining direct processing capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The second terminal acts as an intermediary device between the user and the first terminal. It collects voice signals from the user and transmits them to the first terminal for processing, enabling remote interaction without requiring the user to be physically close to the processing device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If manual operation is required for voice interaction, then the terminal device can maintain simple hardware, but user experience is affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation convenienceVSAvoidinteraction process
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by enabling automatic voice interaction without requiring manual operation. The voice interaction model automatically processes the collected voice signals and generates feedback, eliminating the need for users to manually initiate or control the interaction process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The voice interaction model accelerates the interaction process by automatically recognizing and responding to voice signals in real-time, significantly speeding up the interaction compared to manual operation methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #38Strong oxidants (Accelerated oxidation)

3Adaptability or versatility

If voice signal collection and processing are separated into different terminals, then users can interact from anywhere, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction flexibilityVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The first terminal is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a communication device and as a voice processing device. The voice interaction model is integrated into the first terminal, allowing it to handle various voice-related tasks including recognition, processing, and feedback generation, thereby reducing overall system complexity.

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

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.
