  • Publication number: 20240046920
    Abstract: A data processing method, a device wake-up method, an electronic device, and a storage medium are provided. In the data processing method, speech to be processed is converted into a keyword phone sequence, and a similar pronunciation sequence generator acquires a similar phone sequence corresponding to the keyword phone sequence in a sequence generation manner, thereby acquiring a first data processed result corresponding to the speech to be processed. By replacing the search method of large-scale speech databases with this generation manner, effective coverage of possible real-life sounds can be achieved with a smaller model, thus improving the ability to distinguish confusing pronunciations. The above data processing method performed by the electronic device can be performed by an artificial intelligence (AI) model.

  • Publication number: 20210357357
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide a file processing method, a file processing device, an electronic apparatus, and a readable storage medium. The method comprises: receiving an operation request for a file, the file comprising at least two sub-files separately stored in at least two equipments; and correspondingly processing at least one sub-file of the file according to the operation request. By the solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application, since at least two sub-files of a file are separately stored in at least two equipments, original contents of the file cannot be obtained even if a sub-file in one equipment is leaked. By the solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application, the security of files can be effectively improved.
