Publication number: 20160353173Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content communicating, rendering, generating, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The present disclosure discloses voice processing systems and methods for smart TVs. The voice processing systems and methods initiates, via a smart TV, a wireless voice channel whereby the smart TV receives voice signals through the voice channel. The smart TV then determines a current application scenario and performs corresponding processing on the voice signals according to the application scenario. The determination of voice processing within the application scenario enables interaction with the smart TV over the wireless voice channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2015Publication date: December 1, 2016Applicant: ALIBABA GROUP HOLDING LIMITEDInventors: Wuping DU, Kunyong CAO
