  • Publication number: 20250054497
    Abstract: A voice interaction method and a related apparatus are provided. When a voice assistant is not woken up, an electronic device may recognize whether a detected voice matches a preset intention. If the voice matches the intention, the electronic device may perform an operation corresponding to the intention that matches the voice, and wake up the voice assistant. After waking up the voice assistant, the electronic device can more accurately respond to a subsequent request of a user. If there is no voice interaction in a preset time period after the voice assistant is woken up, the electronic device may switch the voice assistant from a wake-up state to a sleep state.
