Patent number: 11727928Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a responding method and device, an electronic device and a storage medium. The method is applied to a first electronic device including an audio acquisition component and an audio output component. The method can include acquiring a voice signal through the audio acquisition component, determining whether to respond to the voice signal, and responsive to determining to respond to the voice signal, outputting a first sound signal by the audio output component, the first sound signal being configured to notify at least one second electronic device that the first electronic device responds to the voice signal. In such a manner, an electronic device, responsive to determining to respond to a voice signal, outputs a sound signal to prevent other electronic device(s) from responding to the voice signal, so that competitions between electronic devices are reduced and a user experience is improved.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Beijing Xiaomi Pinecone Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Lingsong Zhou, Fei Xiang
