  • Publication number: 20240046931
    Abstract: This application provides a voice interaction method and apparatus. A first apparatus obtains, by using a voice sensor, first voice information including a voice instruction of a user. The first apparatus may determine, based on the first voice information, to perform a target operation indicated by the first voice information. The first apparatus may also send the first voice information to a second apparatus. The first apparatus may determine, based on a first preset condition, to perform a first operation determined by the first apparatus based on the first voice information. The first apparatus may alternatively determine, based on a first preset condition, to perform a second operation indicated by the second apparatus. The solution provided in this application helps balance accuracy and efficiency of voice recognition, and further helps enable the apparatus to appropriately and quickly respond to the user.

  • Publication number: 20230048330
    Abstract: An in-vehicle speech interaction method and a device are provided. The method includes: obtaining user speech information; determining a user instruction based on the user speech information; determining, based on the user instruction, whether response content to the user instruction is privacy-related; and determining, based on whether the response content is privacy-related, whether to output the response content in a privacy protection mode, to protect privacy from being leaked.

  • Publication number: 20220402459
    Abstract: Example vehicle unlocking methods and apparatus are described. In one example method, wakeup keyword detection is performed on an obtained voice signal. If the voice signal includes a wakeup keyword, an acoustic source direction is determined, and a target camera is indicated to collect image data. The target camera is a target camera that is installed on the vehicle and whose angle of view can ensure that the acoustic source direction is captured. Then, the vehicle is unlocked based on the image data collected by the target camera.

  • Publication number: 20220093087
    Abstract: A speech recognition method, apparatus, and device, and a computer-readable storage medium provided pertain to the field of artificial intelligence technologies. The method includes: obtaining or generating a dynamic target language model based on reply information of a first intent, where the dynamic target language model includes a front-end part and a core part; obtaining a speech signal, parsing the speech signal to generate a key word; and invoking the dynamic target language model to determine a second intent and a service content. The front-end part of the dynamic target language model parses out the second intent based on the key word, and the core part of the dynamic target language model parses out the service content based on the key word. The speech recognition method prevents a provided service content from deviating from a user requirement and achieves a good recognition effect.

  • Publication number: 20170156585
    Abstract: The invention relates to an eye condition determination system (1) for determining an eye condition of a person, especially of a child, during a viewing activity during which the person views an object (3). A spatial characteristics capturing unit (2) captures a spatial dimension of the object and/or a spatial position of the object relative to the person during the viewing activity, and an eye condition determination unit (4) determines an eye condition like myopia or strabismus based on the captured spatial dimension of the object and/or the captured spatial position of the object relative to the person. This allows for a determination of the eye condition during a normal viewing activity like reading a text without any assistance by, for instance, parents, especially without any user interaction.
