Abstract: A dual-mode voice control method is disclosed. The method may comprise determining whether a user has executed an operation of activating an operate-to-speak stop determination mode in a voice input interface. The method may further comprise, in response to determining that the user has executed the operation of activating the operate-to-speak stop determination mode, determining whether a microphone is in a busy state. The method may further comprise, in response to determining that the microphone is in the busy state, switching a voice mode from a directly-speak automatic stop determination mode to the operate-to-speak stop determination mode. Before the user executes the operation of activating the operate-to-speak stop determination mode, the voice mode is in the directly-speak automatic stop determination mode if the microphone is in the busy state.

Abstract: A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery including a silicon material as a negative electrode active material has good discharge rate characteristics. A negative electrode according to an exemplary embodiment includes a negative-electrode current collector and a negative-electrode mixture layer formed on the current collector.

In the method, credits are assigned to each device of a plurality of devices in the system. Bandwidth is allocated among the plurality of devices for high-priority traffic, regardless of the credits. After allocating bandwidth for high-priority traffic, bandwidth is allocated among the plurality of devices based on the credits. A transmission schedule is generated for the plurality of devices based on the allocated bandwidth.
