and receiving external audio. In the embodiment of the application, after the display device is started, the external audio is continuously received. In some embodiments, the display device is powered on, a voice activity detection service (VAD) is started, the VAD identifies an external audio, and when a user voice is detected to exist in the external audio, a voice wake-up service (VT) is started, and the voice wake-up service is configured to start the voice control system after a wake-up word is identified, and execute a corresponding operation by using the control instruction.

In some embodiments, the far-field module receives external audio, the far-field module includes two channels, and a first channel is responsible for transmitting the external audio to an object end of a video call when the display device is in a remote video call state; the second channel is responsible for transmitting data related to voice control commands operating the display device.

According to the embodiment of the application, whether the display equipment is in a remote video call state or not is judged, and whether the external audio comprises the awakening word or not is judged. In the embodiment of the application, when the mobile terminal is in a remote video call state or not in the remote video call state, and the external audio includes a wakeup word and does not include the wakeup word, the control logic related to the embodiment of the application is different.

In some embodiments, if the display device is not in a remote video call state and the external audio includes a wakeup word, receiving a voice to be determined input by a user, and if the voice to be determined includes a control instruction for controlling the display device, executing a corresponding operation according to the control instruction.

In some embodiments, the step of determining whether the external audio includes a wake word includes: converting the external audio into voice words, and judging whether awakening words exist in the voice words or not; if the wake-up word exists, determining that the external audio comprises the wake-up word; if the wake-up word is not present, determining that the external audio does not include the wake-up word.

In some embodiments, the voice wakeup service determines whether the external audio includes a wakeup word, wherein the external audio is sent to the voice wakeup service through the second channel. In some embodiments, the far-field module writes the received external audio into the recording device, converts the external audio into a voice word through the voice engine, and determines whether the voice word contains a wakeup word. In some embodiments, the determining whether the speech text contains the wakeup word specifically includes: the voice wake-up service retrieves the voice text, and then the voice text retrieves the wake-up word using the voice wake-up service, wherein the voice text is transmitted to the voice wake-up service through the second channel. If the wake word is retrieved, it is determined that the wake word exists, and if the wake word is not retrieved, it is determined that the wake word does not exist. Illustratively, the wake word may be hi minuscule.

And when the external audio comprises the awakening words, monitoring the voice to be determined. In the embodiment of the application, when the awakening word is detected, the voice control system is informed to start, and the voice control system monitors the voice to be determined. Illustratively, an "open homepage" spoken by the user is received, at which time the homepage is opened as the pending voice. It is determined whether the voice to be determined includes a control instruction for controlling the display device.

In some embodiments, if the external audio does not include a wake word, then a determination is continued as to whether the external audio includes a wake word. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the display device continuously receives the external audio. Therefore, when the external audio is continuously judged whether to include the awakening word, the external audio is the updated audio data.

In some embodiments, the controller is configured to perform the determining that the voice to be determined includes a control instruction for controlling the display device according to the following steps:

and converting the voice to be determined into text content, uploading the text content to a cloud server so that the cloud server analyzes the text content to obtain an analysis result, and transmitting the analysis result to display equipment.

In the embodiment of the application, because the user may use an nonstandard language, the display device may not accurately know the user requirement, and therefore the voice to be determined is converted into the text content and then uploaded to the cloud server, the text content is analyzed by the cloud server, and the content of the approximate instruction is screened out from the text content. In some embodiments, the far-field module writes the voice to be determined into the recording device and converts the voice into text. The cloud server analyzes the text content, screens out real semantics from the instruction text, and sends an analysis result to the display device.

If the control instruction which is the same as the analysis result does not exist in the control instruction set in the display equipment, the voice to be determined does not include the control instruction for controlling the display equipment; and if the control instruction which is the same as the analysis result exists in the control instruction set in the display equipment, the voice to be determined comprises a control instruction for controlling the display equipment. In some embodiments, the control instruction set is a set of preset control instructions, and the preset control instructions are uniformly stored in the control instruction set.

In some embodiments, the step of determining whether the voice to be determined includes a control instruction for controlling the display device includes:

converting the voice to be determined into text content;

In some embodiments, the function of analyzing the text content may be integrated locally, and the text content is analyzed locally to obtain an analysis result. If the control instruction which is the same as the analysis result does not exist in the control instruction set in the display equipment, the voice to be determined does not include the control instruction for controlling the display equipment; and if the control instruction which is the same as the analysis result exists in the control instruction set in the display equipment, the voice to be determined comprises a control instruction for controlling the display equipment.

In some embodiments, if the voice to be determined includes a control instruction for controlling the display device, the corresponding operation is performed according to the control instruction. Illustratively, the control instructions instruct the display device to open a home page, and then control the display to display a home interface.

In some embodiments, if the speech to be determined does not include a control instruction for controlling the display device, the step of determining whether the external audio includes a wakeup word is repeatedly performed. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the display device continuously receives the external audio. Therefore, when the external audio is continuously judged whether to include the awakening word, the external audio is the updated audio data.

In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to perform: and if the voice to be determined does not comprise a control instruction for controlling the display equipment, controlling a display to display a prompt message. Since the user may use an nonstandard language, if the to-be-determined speech does not include a control instruction for controlling the display device, a prompt message is displayed on the display, for example, the prompt message may be that a correct control instruction is not obtained, and in addition, the user may be prompted about the content of the correct control instruction, so that the use experience of the user is improved.

The above is that when the display device is not in the remote video call state, the voice control instruction operates the related content of the display device.

Another method of speech isolation control is described below, as shown in FIG. 6, including

And S100, receiving external audio. This step is the same as the above step involved in the voice control instruction operating the display device when the display device is not in the remote video call state, and is not described herein again.

As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the far-field mic switch is on in fig. 7 and off in fig. 8.

In some embodiments, when the remote video call state is established and the far-field microphone switch is turned on, S300, it is determined whether the external audio includes a wake-up word. S400, if the external audio is detected to include the awakening word, the external audio is paused to be transmitted to the object end of the video call, and the voice to be determined is monitored. S500, if the external audio does not comprise the awakening word, continuing to transmit the external audio to the object end of the video call, and repeatedly executing the step of judging whether the external audio comprises the awakening word.

In some embodiments, the external audio is communicated using a second channel transmission and it is determined whether the external audio includes a wake-up word. When the external audio comprises the awakening word, the first channel suspends the transmission of the external audio to the object end of the video call. In the embodiment of the application, two channels are utilized, each channel is responsible for different data transmission, external audio is transmitted to the object end of the video call in a parallel mode, and data related to voice control instruction operation display equipment is transmitted. The timing can be more accurately grasped for both suspending and continuing transmission of data in the first channel. If only one channel exists in the embodiment of the application, the channel is responsible for transmitting the external audio to the object end of the video call and transmitting the data related to the operation and display device operated by the voice control instruction, so that when the data transmission is instructed to be suspended and the data transmission is instructed to be continued, the data transmission is possibly not suspended and the data transmission is possibly continued due to the fact that the data related to the operation and display device operated by the voice control instruction also exists, and the use feeling of a user is influenced.

In the embodiment of the present application, the step of determining whether the external audio includes the wakeup word is the same as the step of determining whether the external audio includes the wakeup word, which is related to the operation of the voice control instruction display device not in the remote video call state, so that details are not repeated herein.
