Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present concepts related in a concrete fashion.

In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the meaning of "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified. For example, a plurality of networks refers to two or more networks.

The term "and/or" herein is merely an association describing an associated object, meaning that three relationships may exist, e.g., a and/or B, may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The symbol "/" herein denotes a relationship in which the associated object is or, for example, a/B denotes a or B.

Fig. 1 is a schematic view of an application scenario of a voice control method for a home appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention, including a user, a voice controller, and an air conditioner (including an outdoor unit and an indoor unit); the voice controller is used for executing the voice control method of the household appliance provided by the embodiment of the invention.

The voice control method of the household appliance is suitable for determining the voice instruction key words in the voice instruction according to the voice instruction key words, determining the voice technical element combinations in different combination forms according to the voice instruction key words, and then determining the household appliance of a control logic (a first target parameter) according to the voice technical element combinations and the environment parameters, wherein the household appliance comprises any one of a refrigerator, a television, a washing machine and an air conditioner; for example, taking the household appliance as an air conditioner for explanation, the specific implementation process is as follows:

in the prior art, when a user uses an air conditioner, the user mostly has only intuitive sensory feelings, for example, the user feels that the room is "too hot", "too cold", "too humid", and "too dry", and the specific temperature value, humidity value, wind speed and the like are often unclear under the current environment. In order to solve the above problems, as shown in fig. 2, after the voice controller receives a voice command of a user in a designated area, according to the voice control method of a home appliance provided in an embodiment of the present invention, a first target parameter determined according to the voice command and an environmental parameter is analyzed and executed, so that the user only needs to control an operation parameter of an air conditioner through the voice command, and does not need to control the air conditioner through remote controller control and local key control, so that the user can control the home appliance through a simpler control method, and thus the user feels comfortable at a fastest speed.

Example one

An embodiment of the present invention provides a voice control method for a home appliance, as shown in fig. 3, including:

s101, acquiring a voice instruction and an environment parameter in a designated area; wherein the environmental parameter comprises at least one of an ambient temperature and an ambient humidity.

It should be noted that, in practical applications, the voice commands are generally divided into two categories: one is a definite voice command (such as ' adjusting to a cooling mode ' or ' adjusting the temperature to 26 ℃), and the voice controller can adjust according to the definite voice command when the definite voice command is received; the other type is fuzzy voice instructions (such as "too hot", "too cold", "somewhat hot", "somewhat cold", "too humid", "too dry", etc.), when the voice controller receives the fuzzy voice instructions, it needs to judge the current usage environment state and the setting state of the air conditioner itself, and the voice control method of the household appliance provided by the embodiment of the invention determines the first target parameter, so that the air conditioner can be controlled to operate according to the first target parameter, and the user feels comfortable at the fastest speed.

It should be noted that, in practical applications, the environmental parameters in the designated area are acquired, and the environmental parameters can be acquired through a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor arranged on the indoor unit; specifically, the ambient humidity is obtained through a temperature sensor, and the ambient temperature is obtained through the temperature sensor.

And S102, determining a voice instruction keyword according to the voice instruction.

It should be noted that, in the voice control method for a home appliance provided in the embodiment of the present invention, for a voice instruction sent by a user, four types of voice technical elements are defined, including: feeling instruction words, action instruction words, adjusting amplitude instruction words and parameter type instruction words; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

the feeling instruction words are used for expressing voice instruction keywords of subjective comfort feeling properties of the user, and comprise at least one of hot, cold, large, small, dry and wet.

The action instruction word is used for expressing a voice instruction keyword of how the user wants the air conditioner to operate, and comprises at least one of rising, lowering, increasing and decreasing.

The adjusting amplitude instruction word is used for expressing a voice instruction keyword which is used for the user to adjust the air conditioning parameter amplitude, and comprises at least one of the most, too, good, point and true.

The parameter type instruction words are used for expressing voice instruction keywords of parameter types to be adjusted of the user, and the voice instruction keywords comprise at least one of temperature, humidity, wind speed and volume.

For example, when the user is active in the designated area, when the user says "the weather is too hot today" and the voice controller receives "the weather is too hot today", it may be determined that the voice command keyword includes "too" and "hot", so that the voice controller determines the first target parameter according to the voice command keyword "too" and "hot" and controls the air conditioner to operate according to the first target parameter.

S103, determining a first target parameter according to the voice instruction key words and the environment parameter, and sending the first target parameter to the household appliance so that the household appliance can operate according to the first target parameter; wherein the first target parameter comprises at least one of a target temperature, a target humidity and a target wind speed.

Specifically, the first target parameter further includes target startup time, target shutdown time, and target voice broadcast volume; according to the voice instruction key words, determining a first target parameter, and sending the first target parameter to the household appliance, so that the household appliance operates according to the first target parameter, wherein the method comprises the following steps:

according to the voice instruction key words, determining that the current time is the same as the target starting time, and controlling the household appliance to start; or according to the voice instruction key words, determining that the current time is the same as the target shutdown time, and controlling the household appliance to be shut down; or determining that the timing time of the timer is the same as the target starting time according to the voice instruction key words, and controlling the household appliance to start; or determining that the timing time of the timer is the same as the target shutdown time according to the voice instruction key words, and controlling the household appliance to be shut down.

It should be noted that, in practical applications, when a user controls the air conditioner through a voice instruction, the target parameter of the air conditioner controlled each time is not unique; therefore, the target parameters needing to be adjusted can be determined according to the specific voice instruction keywords.

Optionally, determining a keyword of the voice instruction according to the voice instruction, as shown in fig. 4, includes:

s1020, determining at least two voice instruction keywords according to the voice instruction.

It should be noted that, in practical applications, a single speech technical element cannot express the current real idea of the user; therefore, it is necessary to determine the current real idea of the user according to the combination of the at least two voice technical elements, so that the first target parameter can be determined according to the combination of the at least two voice technical elements, and the air conditioner can be controlled to operate according to the first target parameter.

Determining a first target parameter according to the voice instruction key words and the environment parameter, and controlling the household appliance to operate according to the first target parameter, wherein the method comprises the following steps:

s1030, determining a voice technical element combination form according to at least two voice instruction keywords.

It should be noted that, for the user to feel "too hot", "too cold", "too wet", "too dry", "air conditioner blowing wind speed too large or too small", etc. in the room, the voice commands are analyzed, the embodiment of the present invention defines three technical element combinations including: "adjustment amplitude instruction word + feeling instruction word", "adjustment amplitude instruction word + parameter type instruction word", and "action instruction word + parameter type instruction word", and corresponding control logics are formulated for different combinations as shown in tables 1, 2, and 3.

Specifically, when the adjustment range instruction words such as "too," "good," and "true" are acquired and are consecutive to the feeling instruction words such as "hot," "cold," "damp," and "dry" or the parameter type instruction words such as "wind speed" and "sound" representing the user's feeling, it is determined that the user wants to perform the adjustment of the relevant function or parameter with a relatively large range, which is felt by the user.

Specifically, when the obtained adjustment amplitude instruction words such as "point", "most" and the like are consecutive to the feeling instruction words such as "hot", "cold", "damp", "dry" and the like or the parameter type instruction words such as "wind speed", "sound" and the like representing the user feeling, it is determined that the user wants to perform adjustment of the corresponding amplitude of the corresponding function or parameter felt by the user.

Specifically, when the obtained action instruction words such as "raise", "lower", etc. are consecutive to the parameter type instruction word "temperature", "humidity", etc., the corresponding action adjustment is directly performed on the parameters.

S1031, determining a first target parameter according to the at least two voice instruction keywords, the voice technical element combination form and the environment parameter, and sending the first target parameter to the household appliance so that the household appliance can operate according to the first target parameter; wherein, each voice technical element combination form corresponds to a first target parameter.

It should be noted that, in practical applications, when the obtained voice instruction includes both a clear voice instruction and a fuzzy voice instruction, the clear voice instruction should be directly executed at this time, and as can be seen from table 2, the execution priority of the clear voice instruction is greater than that of the fuzzy voice instruction; illustratively, if the user says "true heat today, please adjust the temperature to 24 ℃" in the designated area, when the voice controller acquires "true heat today, please adjust the temperature to 24 ℃", it can be determined that the voice command contains an explicit voice command ("please adjust the temperature to 24 ℃") and an ambiguous voice command ("true heat today"), and the execution priority of the explicit voice command is greater than that of the ambiguous voice command; thus, the voice controller need not execute a vague voice command ("true hot today") but rather an explicit voice command ("please adjust temperature to 24 ℃), i.e., control the air conditioner to adjust temperature to 24 ℃.

It should be noted that, in practical applications, when the obtained voice instruction includes a fuzzy voice instruction only, and the fuzzy voice instruction includes at least two voice instruction keywords, the execution sequence needs to be determined according to the execution priority in the form of the combination of the voice technical elements; for example, if the user says "today is hot and hot, and has the maximum wind" in the designated area, when the voice controller acquires "today is hot and hot, and has the maximum wind", it may be determined that the combination form of the voice technical elements in the voice instruction includes "amplitude adjustment instruction word + feeling instruction word" and "amplitude adjustment instruction word + parameter type instruction word"; as can be seen from table 4, the execution priority of "amplitude adjustment instruction word + feeling instruction word" is greater than the execution priority of "amplitude adjustment instruction word + parameter type instruction word"; therefore, the voice controller needs to control the air conditioner to execute the control logic of the 'adjustment amplitude instruction word + sensing instruction word' (true heat) and then execute the control logic of the 'adjustment amplitude instruction word + parameter type instruction word' (maximum wind); or the voice controller controls the air conditioner to simultaneously execute the control logic of 'regulating amplitude instruction words + feeling instruction words' (true heat) and the control logic of 'regulating amplitude instruction words + parameter type instruction words' (maximum wind); wherein, the execution priority of the Nth priority is greater than the execution priority of the (N + 1) th priority, and N is a positive integer.

For example, if the user says "today is hot and dry" in a specified area, and the voice controller obtains "today is hot and dry" at this time, it may be determined that the voice instruction keyword in the voice instruction includes "hot" and "dry", and the combination of the voice technical elements is "adjustment amplitude instruction word + feeling instruction word"; therefore, the voice controller can determine a first control logic corresponding to the voice instruction keyword "true hot" and a second control logic corresponding to the voice instruction keyword "true dry" by looking up table 1; then, the voice controller controls the air conditioner to simultaneously execute a first control logic and a second control logic; or the voice controller executes the first control logic and the second control logic in sequence from small to big according to the sequence number of each voice instruction keyword in the table 1; or the voice controller executes the second control logic and the first control logic in sequence from large to small according to the sequence number of each voice instruction keyword in the table 1.

Specifically, the user can set the execution priority of the clear voice command and the fuzzy voice command according to the actual situation; for example, the execution priority of the ambiguous voice instruction is higher than that of the explicit voice instruction, or the execution priority of the "adjust amplitude instruction word + sense instruction word" is lower than that of the "adjust amplitude instruction word + parameter type instruction word", and the like, which will not be described herein again.

Specifically, determining a first target parameter according to a speech technology element combination form includes:

inquiring a voice command and a control logic table according to the voice technical element combination form, and determining a first target parameter; wherein, the voice command and control logic table comprises: the corresponding relation of the voice instruction key words, the voice technical element combination form and the control logic.

Exemplary voice command and control logic tables are shown in table 1.

TABLE 1 Voice Command and control logic one

TABLE 2 Voice commands and control logic two

TABLE 3 Voice commands and control logic three

TABLE 4 execution priority of explicit and ambiguous voice commands

Optionally, as shown in fig. 5, the method further includes:

s104, when at least one of the current wind speed, the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity of the household appliance meets a preset condition, sending a second target parameter to the household appliance so that the household appliance can operate according to the second target parameter; the preset conditions comprise that the current wind speed is equal to the target wind speed, the environment temperature is equal to the target temperature and the environment humidity is equal to the target humidity, and the power consumption of the household appliance running according to the second target parameter is smaller than the power consumption of the household appliance running according to the first target parameter.

In practical applications, the body temperature is always kept constant. Scientific research shows that when the ambient temperature is 18-25 ℃ and the relative humidity is 40-70% RH, the human body feels most comfortable; when the temperature is between 26 and 30 ℃ and the humidity is less than 60 percent RH, the human body feels hot but not stuffy; when the temperature is higher than 30 ℃ and the humidity is higher than 70% RH, the human body feels stuffy, and when the temperature exceeds 37 ℃, the human body feels extremely hot. On the contrary, when the ambient temperature is lower than the lower limit of the comfortable temperature, the person feels cool and cold; if the temperature is lower than 0 ℃, the patient feels cold. In addition, the medical specialist believes that 26 ℃ is a comfortable and less susceptible temperature. According to the measurement, the indoor acceptable temperature is generally 27 ℃ to 29 ℃ for people sitting still or doing light labor, and once the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the outdoor temperature is too large, the human health is greatly damaged. And 26 degrees is again a relatively energy efficient summer temperature setting.

Meanwhile, according to calculation in a row, when the indoor temperature is designed, 5% -7% of energy can be saved approximately every time the indoor temperature is increased by 1 ℃, and the minimum energy saving for increasing the indoor temperature by 2 ℃ is 10%. The summer air conditioner is a major energy-consuming household of a building, and the air conditioner in the whole society is adjusted to 26 ℃, so that the problem of summer power shortage can be greatly relieved, and the emission of greenhouse gas during power generation is reduced; therefore, in the voice control method for a home appliance provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the target temperature of the second target parameter is set to not lower than 26 ℃ in the cooling mode, the target temperature is set to not higher than 20 ℃ in the heating mode, the target humidity is set to between 40% RH and 70% RH, and the target wind speed is set to any one of the n air conditioner outlet wind speeds; therefore, when the environmental parameters in the designated area reach the user comfort conditions (that is, at least one of the current wind speed, the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity meets the preset conditions), the voice controller automatically adjusts the second target parameter of the air conditioner operation according to the self control logic, so that the air conditioner can enter the energy-saving mode on the premise of ensuring that the user comfort is met.

Illustratively, the voice controller is "too hot" according to the voice command acquired in the designated area, and the control logic corresponding to "too hot" according to table 1 of the voice controller includes: when the ambient temperature is higher than 30 ℃, setting a refrigeration mode, wherein the target temperature is 21 ℃, the target wind speed is the maximum air conditioner air outlet wind speed, starting the air conditioner, and in the running process, when the ambient temperature is detected to reach 21 ℃, adjusting the target temperature to be 26 ℃, the target humidity to be 50% RH, and the air conditioner air outlet wind speed of any one of n air conditioner air outlet wind speeds; setting a refrigeration mode when the ambient temperature is between 26 ℃ and 30 ℃, wherein the target temperature is 23 ℃, the target wind speed is the maximum air conditioner air outlet wind speed, starting the air conditioner, and in the running process, when the ambient temperature is detected to reach 23 ℃, adjusting the target temperature to be 26 ℃, the target humidity to be 50% RH, and the air conditioner air outlet wind speed of any one of n air conditioner air outlet wind speeds; setting a refrigeration mode when the ambient temperature is lower than 26 ℃, adjusting the current temperature value to be lower by 2 ℃ to serve as a target temperature, wherein the target air speed is the maximum air conditioner air outlet speed, starting the air conditioner, and adjusting the target temperature to be 26 ℃, the target humidity to be 50% RH and any air conditioner air outlet speed in n air conditioner air outlet speeds when the ambient temperature is detected to reach the set target temperature in the operation process; then, the voice controller determines the control logic which should be executed currently according to the ambient temperature obtained from the temperature sensor, if the ambient temperature is 25 ℃, the control logic which needs to be executed can be determined to be (when the ambient temperature is lower than 26 ℃, a refrigeration mode is set, the current temperature value is reduced by 2 ℃ to serve as the target temperature, the target air speed is the maximum air conditioner outlet air speed, the air conditioner is started, and in the running process, when the ambient temperature is detected to reach the set target temperature, the target temperature is adjusted to be 26 ℃, the target humidity is 50% RH, and any air conditioner outlet air speed in the n-grade air conditioner outlet air speeds); therefore, the first target parameter can be determined as the target temperature of 24 ℃, and the target wind speed is the maximum air conditioner outlet wind speed; in the operation process, when the detected ambient temperature is the same as the target temperature (24 ℃), the second target parameter (the target temperature is 26 ℃, the target humidity is 50% RH, and the target wind speed is any air conditioner outlet wind speed in the n air conditioner outlet wind speeds) is operated, so that the energy-saving mode is entered.

For example, the voice controller determines that the voice command obtained in the designated area is "maximum humidity", and the voice controller can know that the control logic corresponding to "maximum humidity" is "currently set target humidity 90% RH, and the air conditioner is turned on" according to table 1; then, the voice controller sets the current set target humidity to be 90% RH according to the control logic corresponding to the maximum humidity, the air conditioner is started to control the air conditioner to operate, and when the environment temperature is detected to reach the set target humidity (90% RH), the second target parameter (the target humidity is set between 40% RH and 70% RH) is operated, so that the energy-saving mode is entered.

Specifically, when it is determined that only one of the current wind speed, the ambient temperature, and the ambient humidity satisfies the preset condition, the current wind speed, the ambient temperature, or the ambient humidity satisfying the preset condition may be adjusted; if the current wind speed is equal to the target wind speed, the current wind speed can be reduced to be within a preset wind speed interval, so that the energy-saving mode can be entered on the premise of ensuring that the comfort degree of a user is met; when determining that a plurality of items (at least two items) among the current wind speed, the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity meet preset conditions, adjusting at least two items among the current wind speed, the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity which meet the preset conditions; if the current wind speed is equal to the target wind speed and the environmental humidity is equal to the target humidity, the current wind speed can be reduced to a preset wind speed interval, and then the environmental humidity is reduced to a preset humidity interval (such as 40% RH to 70% RH); or, if the current wind speed is equal to the target wind speed and the ambient humidity is equal to the target humidity, the ambient humidity may be reduced to a preset humidity interval (e.g., 40% RH to 70% RH) first, and then the current wind speed is reduced to the preset wind speed interval; or, if the current wind speed is equal to the target wind speed and the ambient humidity is equal to the target humidity, simultaneously decreasing the ambient humidity to a preset humidity interval (e.g., 40% RH to 70% RH), and decreasing the current wind speed to be within the preset wind speed interval.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 6, the method further includes:

s105, generating a broadcast instruction carrying the first target parameter according to the first target parameter;

and S106, prompting the first target parameter according to the broadcasting instruction.

It should be noted that, in actual application, the voice controller needs to generate a broadcast instruction carrying the first target parameter according to the first target parameter while controlling the air conditioner to operate according to the first target parameter, so as to prompt the first target parameter according to the broadcast instruction, and thus a user can more intuitively know a control result of the voice control.

Optionally, the method further includes: acquiring the current voice broadcast volume; determining the target voice broadcast volume according to the current voice broadcast volume and the voice command; according to broadcasting the instruction, the suggestion first target parameter includes: and according to the broadcasting instruction, broadcasting volume prompt first target parameters according to the target voice.

It should be noted that, in practical applications, when the current voice broadcast volume is too high or too low, the normal use of the user is affected; therefore, the voice controller can determine the target voice broadcast volume according to the current voice broadcast volume and the voice instruction of the loudspeaker in the voice controller, so that the voice controller prompts a first target parameter according to the broadcast instruction and the target voice broadcast volume, and the user experience is improved; or, when the household appliance is provided with the loudspeaker, the voice controller can acquire the current voice broadcast volume of the loudspeaker of the household appliance at first, and then the voice controller determines the target voice broadcast volume according to the current voice broadcast volume and the voice instruction, so that the voice controller prompts a first target parameter according to the target voice broadcast volume according to the broadcast instruction, and the user experience is improved.

Specifically, when the voice command does not carry a voice command keyword for adjusting the current voice broadcast volume, a first target parameter is directly prompted according to the current voice broadcast volume; when the current voice broadcast volume is less than or equal to a first preset volume threshold value or the current voice broadcast volume is greater than or equal to a second preset volume threshold value, after a first target parameter is prompted according to the current voice broadcast volume, the current voice broadcast volume is adjusted to be other voice broadcast volume; wherein, other voice broadcast volumes are greater than the first preset volume threshold value, and other voice broadcast volumes are less than the second preset volume threshold value.

According to the scheme, the voice control method of the household appliance provided by the embodiment of the invention has the advantages that as long as a user speaks a voice instruction in the designated area, the voice controller determines the voice instruction keyword according to the voice instruction, and determines the first target parameter through the voice instruction keyword and the environment parameter, so that the household appliance can be controlled to operate according to the first target parameter; when the household electrical appliance is an air conditioner, a user only needs to control the operating parameters of the air conditioner in a voice instruction mode, and does not need to control the air conditioner through remote controller control and local machine key control, so that the user can control the air conditioner in a simpler and more convenient control mode, and the user feels comfortable at the highest speed; therefore, the problem of how to enable the user to control the air conditioner in a simpler and more convenient control mode is solved.

Example two

An embodiment of the present invention provides a voice controller 10, as shown in fig. 7, including:

a voice acquiring unit 101, configured to acquire a voice instruction and an environment parameter in a specified area; wherein the environmental parameter comprises at least one of an ambient temperature and an ambient humidity.

The control unit 102 is configured to determine a keyword of the voice instruction according to the voice instruction acquired by the voice acquisition unit 101.
