  • Publication number: 20230352012
    Abstract: Disclosed is a speech skill jumping method for man-machine dialogue applied to an electronic device, comprising constructing a field migration map in advance based on user's historical man-machine dialogue data, the field migration map being a directed map including a plurality of dialogue fields; receiving external speech; determining a dialogue field that the external speech hits; and judging whether the hit dialogue field belongs to one of the plurality of dialogue fields in the field migration map, and ignoring the external speech if not, or jumping to a speech skill corresponding to the hit dialogue field if yes. A field migration map is generated based on a user's historical man-machine dialogue data which reflects the user's interaction habits, and whether to perform a speech skill jump is judged based on the field migration map., obviously abnormal input content can be shielded, improving the task completion and interaction efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20230077478
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for testing a full-duplex speech interaction system. The method includes: determining a scene mixed corpus set by mixing a valid corpus set related to a test scene with an invalid corpus set unrelated to the test scene; playing each corpus audio in the scene mixed corpus set to a speech interaction device under test equipped with the full-duplex speech interaction system; acquiring a work log of the speech interaction device under test, the work log including at least a first log and a second log; and obtaining number of false responses by counting number of log entries which have false response result in the second log, and determining a false response rate based on the number of false responses and a total number of corpus audios played. End-to-end testing of the full-duplex speech interaction system is realized.

  • Publication number: 20230066881
    Abstract: Disclosed are an information flow-based decision-making and scheduling customization method and apparatus. The method includes: instantiating a pipeline and modules customized by a developer in the pipeline; mounting the modules on the pipeline in a module sequence customized by the developer; inputting a data stream into an entry of the pipeline; and acquiring a decision result for the data stream from an exit of the pipeline. The solution reduces the coupling between modules. The modules are independent from each other and can be developed collaboratively by many developers. In case the overall design remains unchanged, the modification of the modules has less impact on the global situation. The configurability of scheduling and decision-making is improved. Since the modules are dynamically mounted on the pipeline, this provides extremely high configurability for large-scale customization, and module instances can be dynamically generated by reading configuration information at runtime.

  • Publication number: 20230037913
    Abstract: A server-side processing method for implementing an active initiation of a dialogue is disclosed, comprising: establishing a communication connection with a voice client, in response to a received request for establishing a connection from the voice client; receiving an information stream sent by the voice client through the communication connection; performing a dialogue decision-making process according to the information stream, obtaining and outputting an adapted dialogue content to the voice client upon determining that it is an active dialogue scenario. A server and a system for implementing an active initiation of a dialogue are also provided. The disclosed solutions realize intelligent decision-making for voice interaction, and can actively initiate a dialogue based on server-side decision-making, improving interaction experience and realizing intelligent interaction.

  • Patent number: 11551693
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a method of man-machine interaction, including: receiving first audio uploaded by a user through a client end, marking a start time and an end time of the first audio, and generating a first recognition result of the first audio using an audio decoder; determining whether the first audio is a short speech based on the start time and end time thereof, and in case of a short speech, generating a second recognition result of the second audio using the audio decoder upon receiving the second audio uploaded by the client end within a preset heartbeat protection time range, sending at least the first recognition result and the second recognition result to a language prediction model; and if it is determined that a combination of the recognition results constitutes a sentence, generating an answering instruction corresponding to the sentence, and sending the answering instruction together with a feedback time mark of the answering instruction to the client end.

  • Publication number: 20220399020
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a man-machine dialogue mode switching method, which is applicable to an electronic device. The method includes receiving a current user sentence spoken by a current user; determining whether a dialogue field to which the current user sentence belongs is a preset dialogue field; if yes, switching the current dialogue mode to a full-duplex dialogue mode; and if not, switching the current dialogue mode to a half-duplex dialogue mode. In the present disclosure, the dialogue mode is switched by determining whether the dialogue field to which the current user sentence belongs is the preset dialogue field, and the dialogue mode can be automatically switched and adjusted according to the difference of the dialogue fields, such that the man-machine dialogue is always in the most suitable dialogue mode and can be realized smoothly.

  • Publication number: 20220358106
    Abstract: Proxy-based scaling may be performed for databases. A proxy may be implemented for a database that can establish a connection between the proxy and a database engine to perform a database queries received from a client at the proxy. A scaling event may be detected for the database responsive to which the proxy may establish a connection with a new database engine which may, in some embodiments, have different capabilities or resources that address the features or criteria that triggered the scaling event. Session state may be copied from the database engine to the new database engine so that the new database engine may be able to provide access to the database on behalf of requests received from the client through the proxy.

  • Patent number: 10708379
    Abstract: A dynamic proxy may be implemented for a database that can establish a connection between the proxy and a database engine to perform a database queries received from a client at the proxy. The proxy may receive a connection request (and later database queries) through a first network endpoint from a client. The proxy can then determine based on the source of the connection request a second network endpoint through which to access the database (e.g., the endpoint of the database engine). Once the proxy establishes a connection with the database engine through the second network endpoint, the proxy can request the performance of queries at the database engine instead of the client.
