Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, when the sound output equipment is in a working state, the sound information can be still obtained, and when the sound information meets the set conditions, the sound output equipment is controlled, so that even if the volume of the sound output by the sound output equipment is large, a user can not miss important information, the application scene of the sound output equipment is expanded, and the intelligence and the practicability of the sound output equipment are improved.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a sound output apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, including the following steps S101-S103:

in step S101, voice information collected by a voice recognition module on the sound output device in an operating state is acquired.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sound output device may be one or more of an earphone, a smart audio, and a video playing device. Moreover, the voice recognition module is arranged on the voice output equipment, so that even if the voice output equipment outputs voice, namely is in a working state, the voice information is collected through the voice recognition module.

The sound output device may also perform the transmission of information. In this embodiment, the sound output device is an intelligent device capable of establishing a wireless connection, and thus, the sound output device can communicate with the sound output device to obtain the voice information collected by the sound output device. Therefore, acquiring the voice information collected by the voice recognition module on the sound output device in the working state may include: establishing a wireless connection with the sound output device in an operating state, wherein the wireless connection comprises: one or more of Bluetooth connection, infrared connection, wireless local area network WIFI connection, purple peak protocol ZigBee connection and the like; and acquiring voice information acquired by a voice recognition module on the voice output equipment through wireless connection.

For example: the earphone is provided with the Bluetooth module and the voice recognition module, so that the earphone can be communicated and interconnected, and is an intelligent earphone. Therefore, the voice information collected on the intelligent earphone can be acquired through the wireless connection established by the Bluetooth module.

Of course, the sound output device may also transmit information through a wired connection, which is not illustrated.

In step S102, when the voice information satisfies the set condition, a control instruction corresponding to the voice information is determined.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, keywords can be preset. For example: the preset keywords include: the user's name, meeting, discussion, etc., and may also be keywords that are of interest to the user, such as: a certain brand of clothing, the name of a certain person concerned, etc.

Therefore, when the acquired voice information contains at least one preset keyword, the voice information can be determined to meet the set condition. For example: if the acquired voice information includes the name of the user, it is determined that the voice information satisfies the set condition.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, there may be only one control instruction, for example: and the output volume is turned down. In this way, as long as it is determined that the voice information satisfies the set condition, the corresponding control command can be determined to turn down the output volume.

However, the control instructions may be two or more, for example: the instruction to close the playing, the instruction to turn down the output volume, the instruction to delay the playing, and so on, so that the corresponding relationship between the keyword and the control instruction can also be preset for storage, for example: the name of the user corresponds to an instruction to turn off the playback, and the opening corresponds to an instruction to turn down the volume of the output, and so on. Therefore, the control instruction corresponding to the current keyword contained in the voice information can be determined according to the corresponding relation between the stored keyword and the control instruction.

Of course, if the obtained voice message includes two or more keywords, one keyword may be randomly determined as the current keyword, so as to determine the control instruction corresponding to the current keyword. Or, determining a preset keyword with high priority as the current keyword.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the priority of the keyword may also be preset, so that the current keyword may be determined according to the priority.

Thus, the correspondence relationship between the stored keywords and the control command can be as shown in table 1, and in table 1, the priority of the keywords is also included, wherein the priority is higher when the numerical value is larger.

Keyword	Control instruction	Priority level
			Name of user	Control instruction for closing play	5
Conference for meeting	Control instruction for turning down output volume	4
			Study of	Control instruction for turning down output volume	4
Name of idol	Control instruction for delayed play	3
			……	……	……

TABLE 1

As shown in table 1, if the obtained speech information median includes the name of the idol, the determined control instruction is the control instruction for delaying the playing, and if the obtained speech information median includes the name of the user and the two keywords, the priority of the name of the user is higher, so that the name of the user is determined as the current keyword, and the determined control instruction is the control instruction for closing the playing.

In step S103, the sound output apparatus is controlled according to the determined control instruction.

Since the control instruction is determined, the control instruction may be sent to the sound output device, so that the sound output device performs corresponding operations according to the control instruction, such as turning off the playback, turning down the volume, or delaying the playback. Thus, the control process includes: and sending a control instruction to the sound output equipment to enable the sound output equipment to close playing, turn down volume or delay playing.

Because the sound output equipment is operated according to the control instruction, such as closing playing, turning down volume or delaying playing, the user can not hear the voice information because the volume output by the sound output equipment is too large, the application scene of the sound output equipment is expanded, and the intelligence and the practicability of the sound output equipment are improved.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, whether to perform the control of the sound output apparatus may be further selected by the user, and therefore, controlling the sound output apparatus according to the determined control instruction may include: firstly, presenting a function option for control; then, when the function option is triggered, a control instruction is sent to the sound output device. Thus, the flexibility of control is increased, and the user experience is improved. Moreover, recognition errors may occur in voice recognition, or a little judgment errors may occur in the determination, and through the selection of the user, the probability of the occurrence of the errors can be reduced, the continuity of the operation of the sound output equipment is ensured, and the user experience is further improved.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the reminding may further include, after controlling the sound output device according to the determined control instruction: and pushing a reminding instruction to the bound equipment. For example: and pushing a reminding instruction to the matched intelligent wearable equipment. Therefore, the voice prompt method and the voice prompt device can prompt in time, further ensure that the user cannot miss related information, further expand the application scene of the voice output device, improve the use efficiency of the voice output device and improve the experience of the user.

Thus, here, it is possible to look up in the first column of table 1 whether there is a keyword contained in the acquired speech information, for example: if learning is included in the acquired voice information, it can be determined that the voice information satisfies the set condition.

In step S204, a control instruction corresponding to the current keyword included in the voice message is determined according to the correspondence between the stored keyword and the control instruction.

As shown in table 1, not only the correspondence between the keywords and the control instruction but also the priorities of the keywords are stored, and therefore, if the voice information includes at least two preset keywords, the preset keyword having a high priority is determined as the current keyword, and then, the control instruction corresponding to the current keyword included in the voice information is determined according to the stored correspondence between the keyword and the control instruction. For example: and if the acquired voice information contains names of the conference and the idol, determining that the conference is the current keyword, and determining that the control instruction is a control instruction for turning down the output volume.

In step S205, a control instruction is sent to the smart headset, so that the smart headset performs play-off, volume-down or delayed play.

And the control instruction is determined, the control instruction can be sent to the intelligent earphone, so that the intelligent earphone performs corresponding operation according to the control instruction, such as closing playing, turning down volume or delaying playing.

The video playing device may have a WIFI module, and therefore, the voice information collected by the voice recognition module on the video playing device is acquired through the wireless connection established by the WIFI module.

In step S302, when the voice information satisfies the set condition, a control instruction to delay the playback is determined.

Of course, keywords are also preset, such as: the user's name, meeting, discussion, etc. And when the acquired voice information comprises the name of the user, determining that the voice information meets the set condition. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the control command is a control command for delaying playback. Whichever keyword corresponds to the control instruction for delaying the playing.

In step S303, the video playback device is controlled according to the determined control instruction for delaying playback.

And controlling the video playing equipment to carry out delayed playing because the obtained voice information meets the set conditions.

In step S304, a reminder instruction is pushed to the bound bracelet.

The reminding instruction can be pushed to the bracelet bound by the user, so that the reminding can be timely carried out, the user is further ensured not to miss related information, the application scene of the sound output equipment is further expanded, the use efficiency of the sound output equipment is improved, and the experience of the user is improved.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when the user is immersed in the video played by the video playing device, the user may not hear the external voice, but the terminal may acquire the voice information acquired by the video playing device, and when the voice information satisfies the setting condition, the video playing device is controlled to perform the delayed playing operation, and the user can also be reminded through the bracelet, so that the user can pay attention to the external voice, so that the user does not miss related information, the application scene of the sound output device is expanded, and the intelligence and the practicability of the sound output device are improved.
