技术领域
本公开一般涉及数字助理,并且更具体地,涉及能够检测低声语音输入并提供低声语音响应的数字助理。
背景技术
语音识别设备越来越受欢迎。语音识别设备可以在不同情况下或在不同环境中使用。例如,用户可以在与用户周围的其他同事一起在小隔间中工作时向设备询问问题。用户还可以在与其他会议参与者一起参加会议室中的会议时向设备询问问题。用户还可以在图书馆学习时与设备语音,该处可能禁止大声语音。在一些情况下,用户可以向设备低声语音和/或期望低声响应。因此,重要的是设备识别用户的低声语音,其可以与正常语音不同,并且在这些情况下提供低声的语音响应。
发明内容
用于语音识别的一些技术检测用户的语音并提供响应,而不考虑与用户的语音相关联的情况。例如,用户可能正在参加会议或在图书馆学习。在这种情况下,用户可能无法用他或她的常规声音语音。相反,用户可以低声。一些现有的语音识别设备可能无法检测用户的低声语音,或者遭受对低声语音的错误识别。它们也不能使用低声语音来回应用户。例如,它们可以以常规或响亮的声音作出响应,这在低声响应更合适的某些情况下可能是不期望的。因此,提供能够检测低声语音输入并提供低声语音响应的数字助理是重要的。
本发明提供了用于操作数字助理的系统和过程。根据一个或多个示例,一种方法包括在具有存储器和一个或多个处理器的用户设备处从用户接收语音输入。该方法也包括基于语音输入确定将提供低声语音响应。该方法还包括,在确定将提供低声语音响应时,生成低声语音响应,并向用户提供低声语音响应。
用于执行这些功能的可执行指令任选地被包括在被配置用于由一个或多个处理器执行的非暂态计算机可读存储介质或其他计算机程序产品中。用于执行这些功能的可执行指令任选地被包括在被配置用于由一个或多个处理器执行的暂态计算机可读存储介质或其他计算机程序产品中。

具体实施方式
在以下对本公开和实施方案的描述中将引用附图,在附图中以例示的方式示出了可被实践的特定实施方案。应当理解,在不脱离本公开的范围的情况下,可实践其他实施方案和示例并且可作出变化。
提供用于提供低声语音响应的技术是期望的。如本文所述,出于各种目的,期望用于确定将提供低声语音响应的技术,诸如避免干扰他人并保护用户的隐私。此类技术是有利的,因为它们允许用户对数字助理低声并从数字助理处接收低声语音响应。此外,此类用于提供低声语音响应的技术可以允许用户在某些情况下使用数字助理而不必改变用户的当前物理位置(例如,走出去使用数字助理)。
尽管以下描述使用术语“第一”、“第二”等来描述各种元素,但这些元素不应受术语的限制。这些术语只是用于将一个元素与另一元素区分开。例如,在不脱离各种所述示例的范围的情况下,第一斜率可被称为第二斜率,并且类似地,第二斜率可被称为第一斜率。第一斜率和第二斜率可都是斜率,并且在一些情况下可以是独立且不同的斜率。
在本文中对各种所述示例的描述中所使用的术语只是为了描述特定示例的目的,而并非旨在进行限制。如在对各种所述示例的描述和所附权利要求书中所使用的那样,单数形式“一个(“a”,“an”)”和“该”旨在也包括复数形式,除非上下文另外明确地指示。还将理解的是,本文中所使用的术语“和/或”是指并且涵盖相关联的所列出的项目中的一个或多个项目的任何和全部可能的组合。还将理解的是,术语“包括”(“includes”、“including”、“comprises”和/或“comprising”)在本说明书中使用时指定存在所陈述的特征、整数、步骤、操作、元素和/或部件,但是并不排除存在或添加一个或多个其他特征、整数、步骤、操作、元素、部件和/或其分组。
根据上下文,术语“如果”可被解释为意指“当...时”(“when”或“upon”)或“响应于确定”或“响应于检测到”。类似地,根据上下文,短语“如果确定...”或“如果检测到[所陈述的条件或事件]”可被解释为意指“在确定...时”或“响应于确定...”或“在检测到[所陈述的条件或事件]时”或“响应于检测到[所陈述的条件或事件]”。
1.系统和环境
图1示出了根据各种示例的系统100的框图。在一些示例中,系统100可实现数字助理。术语“数字助理”、“虚拟助理”、“智能自动化助理”或“自动数字助理”可指解译语音形式和/或文本形式的自然语言输入以推断用户意图并且基于推断出的用户意图来执行动作的任何信息处理系统。例如,为了遵循所推断的用户意图,系统可执行以下中的一者或多者:标识具有被设计用于实现所推断的用户意图的步骤和参数的任务流,将来自所推断的用户意图的特定要求输入到任务流中;通过调用程序、方法、服务、API等执行任务流;以及以可听(例如,语音)和/或可视形式来生成对用户的输出响应。
具体地,数字助理可能够接受至少部分地为自然语言命令、请求、声明、讲述和/或询问的形式的用户请求。通常,用户请求可寻求数字助理作出信息性回答,或寻求数字助理执行任务。针对用户请求的令人满意的响应可以是提供所请求的信息性回答、执行所请求的任务,或这两者的组合。例如,用户可向数字助理提出问题,诸如“我现在在哪里?”基于用户的当前位置,数字助理可回答“您在中央公园西门附近。”用户还可请求执行任务,例如“请邀请我的朋友下周来参加我女朋友的生日聚会。”作为响应,数字助理可通过讲出“好的,马上”来确认请求,然后代表用户将合适的日历邀请发送到用户电子通讯录中列出的用户朋友中的每位朋友。在执行所请求的任务期间,数字助理有时可在很长时间段内在涉及多次信息交换的持续对话中与用户进行交互。存在与数字助理进行交互以请求信息或执行各种任务的许多其他方法。除提供言语响应并采取经编程的动作之外,数字助理还可提供其他视觉形式或音频形式的响应,例如作为文本、警报、音乐、视频、动画等。
如图1中所示,在一些示例中,数字助理可根据客户端-服务器模型来实现。数字助理可包括在用户设备104上执行的客户端侧部分102(后文称作“DA客户端102”),以及在服务器系统108上执行的服务器侧部分106(后文称作“DA服务器106”)。DA客户端102可通过一个或多个网络110来与DA服务器106进行通信。DA客户端102可提供客户端侧功能,诸如面向用户的输入和输出处理,以及与DA服务器106进行通信。DA服务器106可为任意数量的DA客户端102提供服务器侧功能,该任意数量的DA客户端102各自位于相应的用户设备104上。
在一些示例中,DA服务器106可包括面向客户端的I/O接口112、一个或多个处理模块114、数据和模型116,以及至外部服务的I/O接口118。面向客户端的I/O接口112可促进针对DA服务器106的面向客户端的输入和输出处理。一个或多个处理模块114可利用数据和模型116来处理语音输入,并基于自然语言输入来确定用户的意图。此外,一个或多个处理模块114基于推断出的用户意图来执行任务执行。在一些示例中,DA服务器106可通过一个或多个网络110来与外部服务120进行通信,以完成任务或采集信息。至外部服务的I/O接口118可促进此类通信。
用户设备104可以是任何合适的电子设备。例如,用户设备可以是便携式多功能设备(例如,下面参考图2A描述的设备200)、多功能设备(例如,下面参考图4描述的设备400)或个人电子设备(例如,下面参考图6A-图6B描述的设备600)。便携式多功能设备可以是例如还包含诸如PDA和/或音乐播放器功能的其他功能的移动电话。便携式多功能设备的特定示例可包括来自Apple Inc.(Cupertino,California)的设备、iPod设备和设备。便携式多功能设备的其他示例可包括但不限于膝上型计算机或平板电脑。此外,在一些示例中,用户设备104可以是非便携式多功能设备。具体地,用户设备104可以是台式计算机、游戏机、电视、或电视机顶盒。在一些示例中,用户设备104可包括触敏表面(例如,触摸屏显示器和/或触摸板)。此外,用户设备104可任选地包括一个或多个其他物理用户界面设备,诸如物理键盘、鼠标、和/或操纵杆。下文更详细地描述了电子设备诸如多功能设备的各种示例。
一个或多个通信网络110的示例可包括局域网(LAN)和广域网(WAN),例如互联网。一个或多个通信网络110可使用任何已知的网络协议来实现,包括各种有线或无线协议,诸如例如以太网、通用串行总线(USB)、火线、全球移动通信系统(GSM)、增强型数据GSM环境(EDGE)、码分多址(CDMA)、时分多址(TDMA)、蓝牙、Wi-Fi、互联网协议语音(VoIP)、Wi-MAX、或任何其他合适的通信协议。
服务器系统108可在计算机的一个或多个独立式数据处理装置或分布式网络上实施。在一些示例中,服务器系统108还可采用第三方服务提供方(例如,第三方云服务提供方)的各种虚拟设备和/或服务来提供服务器系统108的潜在计算资源和/或基础结构资源。
在一些示例中,用户设备104可经由第二用户设备122来与DA服务器106进行通信。第二用户设备122可与用户设备104相似或相同。例如,第二用户设备122可类似于下文参考图2A、图4和图6A-图6B描述的设备200、400或600。用户设备104可被配置为经由直接通信连接诸如蓝牙、NFC、BTLE等或者经由有线或无线网络诸如局域Wi-Fi网络而通信地耦接至第二用户设备122。在一些示例中,第二用户设备122可被配置为充当用户设备104与DA服务器106之间的代理。例如,用户设备104的DA客户端102可被配置为经由第二用户设备122来向DA服务器106传输信息(例如,在用户设备104处接收的用户请求)。DA服务器106可处理该信息并经由第二用户设备122来将相关的数据(例如,响应于用户请求的数据内容)返回到用户设备104。
在一些示例中,用户设备104可被配置为将针对数据的缩略请求传送到第二用户设备122,以减少从用户设备104传输的信息量。第二用户设备122可被配置为确定添加到缩略请求的补充信息,以生成完整的请求,从而传输到DA服务器106。该系统架构可有利地通过使用具有较强通信能力和/或电池电力的第二用户设备122(例如,移动电话、膝上型计算机、平板电脑等)作为到DA服务器106的代理,允许具有有限通信能力和/或有限电池电力的用户设备104(例如,手表或类似的紧凑型电子设备)访问DA服务器106提供的服务。虽然图1中仅示出两个用户设备104和122,但应当理解,系统100可包括在此代理配置中被配置为与DA服务器系统106进行通信的任意数量和类型的用户设备。
虽然图1中所示的数字助理可包括客户端侧部分(例如,DA客户端102)和服务器侧部分(例如,DA服务器106)两者,但在一些示例中,数字助理的功能可被实现为被安装在用户设备上的独立式应用程序。此外,数字助理的客户端部分与服务器部分之间的功能划分在不同的具体实施中可变化。例如,在一些示例中,DA客户端可以是仅提供面向用户的输入和输出处理功能并将数字助理的所有其他功能委派给后端服务器的瘦客户端。
2.电子设备
现在将注意力转至用于实现数字助理的客户端侧部分的电子设备的实施方案。图2A是示出根据一些实施方案的具有触敏显示器系统212的便携式多功能设备200的框图。触敏显示器212有时为了方便被叫做“触摸屏”,并且有时被称为或被叫做触敏显示器系统。设备200包括存储器202(其任选地包括一个或多个计算机可读存储介质)、存储器控制器222、一个或多个处理单元(CPU)220、外围设备接口218、RF电路208、音频电路210、扬声器211、麦克风213、输入/输出(I/O)子系统206、其他输入控制设备216和外部端口224。设备200任选地包括一个或多个光学传感器264。设备200任选地包括用于检测设备200(例如,设备200的触敏表面诸如触敏显示器系统212)上的接触的强度的一个或多个接触强度传感器265。设备200任选地包括用于在设备200上生成触觉输出的一个或多个触觉输出发生器267(例如,在触敏表面诸如设备200的触敏显示器系统212或设备400的触摸板455上生成触觉输出)。这些部件任选地通过一个或多个通信总线或信号线203进行通信。
如在本说明书和权利要求书中所使用的,术语触敏表面上的接触的“强度”是指触敏表面上的接触(例如,手指接触)的力或压力(每单位面积的力),或是指触敏表面上的接触的力或压力的替代物(代用物)。接触的强度具有值范围,该值范围包括至少四个不同的值并且更典型地包括上百个不同的值(例如,至少256个)。接触的强度任选地使用各种方法和各种传感器或传感器的组合来确定(或测量)。例如,在触敏表面下方或相邻于触敏表面的一个或多个力传感器任选地用于测量触敏表面上的不同点处的力。在一些具体实施中,来自多个力传感器的力测量值被组合(例如,加权平均)以确定所估计的接触力。类似地,触笔的压敏顶端任选地用于确定触笔在触敏表面上的压力。另选地,在触敏表面上检测到的接触区域的大小和/或其变化、接触附近的触敏表面的电容和/或其变化以及/或者接触附近的触敏表面的电阻和/或其变化任选地被用作触敏表面上的接触的力或压力的替代物。在一些具体实施中,接触力或压力的替代物测量直接用于确定是否已经超过强度阈值(例如,强度阈值以对应于替代物测量的单位来描述)。在一些具体实施中,接触力或压力的替代物测量被转换成估计的力或压力,并且估计的力或压力用于确定是否已超过强度阈值(例如,强度阈值是以压力的单位进行测量的压力阈值)。使用接触的强度作为用户输入的属性,从而允许用户访问用户在实地面积有限的尺寸更小的设备上本来不可访问的附加设备功能,该尺寸更小的设备用于(例如,在触敏显示器上)显示示能表示和/或接收用户输入(例如,经由触敏显示器、触敏表面或物理控件/机械控件,诸如旋钮或按钮)。
如本说明书和权利要求书中所使用的,术语“触觉输出”是指将由用户利用用户的触感检测到的设备相对于设备的先前位置的物理位移、设备的部件(例如,触敏表面)相对于设备的另一个部件(例如,外壳)的物理位移、或部件相对于设备的质心的位移。例如,在设备或设备的部件与用户对触摸敏感的表面(例如,手指、手掌或用户手部的其他部分)接触的情况下,通过物理位移生成的触觉输出将由用户解释为触感,该触感对应于设备或设备的部件的物理特征的所感知的变化。例如,触敏表面(例如,触敏显示器或触控板)的移动任选地由用户解释为对物理致动按钮的“按下点击”或“松开点击”。在一些情况下,用户将感觉到触感,诸如“按下点击”或“松开点击”,即使在通过用户的移动而物理地被按压(例如,被移位)的与触敏表面相关联的物理致动按钮没有移动时。又如,即使在触敏表面的光滑度无变化时,触敏表面的移动也会任选地由用户解释或感测为触敏表面的“粗糙度”。虽然用户对触摸的此类解释将受到用户的个体化感官知觉的限制,但是对触摸的许多感官知觉是大多数用户共有的。因此,当触觉输出被描述为对应于用户的特定感官知觉(例如,“按下点击”、“松开点击”、“粗糙度”)时,除非另外陈述,否则所生成的触觉输出对应于设备或其部件的物理位移,该物理位移将会生成典型(或普通)用户的所述感官知觉。
应当理解,设备200仅仅是便携式多功能设备的一个示例,并且设备200任选地具有比所示出的部件更多或更少的部件,任选地组合两个或更多个部件,或者任选地具有这些部件的不同配置或布置。图2A中所示的各种部件以硬件、软件、或硬件与软件两者的组合来实现,包括一个或多个信号处理和/或专用集成电路。
存储器202可包括一个或多个计算机可读存储介质。该计算机可读存储介质可以是有形的和非暂态的。存储器202可包括高速随机存取存储器并且还可包括非易失性存储器,诸如一个或多个磁盘存储设备、闪存存储器设备或其他非易失性固态存储器设备。存储器控制器222可控制设备200的其他部件访问存储器202。
在一些示例中,存储器202的非暂态计算机可读存储介质可用于存储指令(例如,用于执行下文描述的过程1200的各方面)以供指令执行系统、装置或设备诸如基于计算机的系统、包含处理器的系统或可从指令执行系统、装置或设备获取指令并执行指令的其他系统使用或与其结合。在其他示例中,指令(例如,用于执行下文描述的过程1200的各方面)可被存储在服务器系统108的非暂态计算机可读存储介质(未示出)上,或者可在存储器202的非暂态计算机可读存储介质与服务器系统108的非暂态计算机可读存储介质之间划分。在本文档的上下文中,“非暂态计算机可读存储介质”可以是可包括或存储程序以供指令执行系统、装置和设备使用或与其结合的任何介质。
外围设备接口218可用于将设备的输入外围设备和输出外围设备耦接到CPU 220和存储器202。所述一个或多个处理器220运行或执行存储器202中所存储的各种软件程序和/或指令集以执行设备200的各种功能并处理数据。在一些实施方案中,外围设备接口218、CPU 220和存储器控制器222可在单个芯片诸如芯片204上实现。在一些其他实施方案中,它们可在单独的芯片上实现。

结合触摸屏212、显示控制器256、接触/运动模块230、图形模块232、音频电路210、扬声器211、RF电路208、文本输入模块234、电子邮件客户端模块240和浏览器模块247,在线视频模块255包括指令,该指令允许用户访问、浏览、接收(例如,通过流式传输和/或下载)、回放(例如在触摸屏上或在经由外部端口224所连接的外部显示器上)、发送具有至特定在线视频的链接的电子邮件,以及以其他方式管理一种或多种文件格式诸如H.264的在线视频。在一些实施方案中,使用即时消息模块241而不是电子邮件客户端模块240来发送特定在线视频的链接。在线视频应用程序的其他描述可在于2007年6月20日提交的名称为“Portable Multifunction Device,Method,and Graphical User Interface forPlaying Online Videos”的美国临时专利申请60/936,562和于2007年12月31日提交的名称为“Portable Multifunction Device,Method,and Graphical User Interface forPlaying Online Videos”的美国专利申请11/968,067中找到,这两个专利申请的内容据此全文以引用方式并入本文。
上述每个模块和应用程序对应于用于执行上述一种或多种功能以及在本专利申请中所述的方法(例如,本文所述的计算机实现的方法和其他信息处理方法)的可执行指令集。这些模块(例如,指令集)不必被实现为独立的软件程序、过程或模块,并因此在各种实施方案中可组合或以其他方式重新布置这些模块的各种子集。例如,视频播放器模块可与音乐播放器模块组合成单个模块(例如,图2A中的视频和音乐播放器模块252)。在一些实施方案中,存储器202可存储上述模块和数据结构的子集。此外,存储器202可存储上文没有描述的附加模块和数据结构。
在一些实施方案中,设备200是该设备上的预定义的一组功能的操作唯一地通过触摸屏和/或触摸板来执行的设备。通过使用触摸屏和/或触摸板作为用于设备200的操作的主要输入控制设备,可减少设备200上的物理输入控制设备(诸如下压按钮、拨号盘等等)的数量。
唯一地通过触摸屏和/或触摸板来执行的预定义的一组功能任选地包括在用户界面之间的导航。在一些实施方案中,该触摸板在被用户触摸时将设备200从被显示在设备200上的任何用户界面导航到主菜单、home菜单、或根菜单。在此类实施方案中,使用触摸板来实现“菜单按钮”。在一些其他实施方案中,菜单按钮是物理下压按钮或者其他物理输入控制设备,而不是触摸板。
图2B是示出了根据一些实施方案的用于事件处理的示例性部件的框图。在一些实施方案中,存储器202(图2A)或存储器470(图4)包括事件分类器270(例如,在操作系统226中)以及相应的应用程序236-1(例如,前述应用程序237至251、255、480至490中的任一个应用程序)。
事件分类器270接收事件信息并且确定要将事件信息递送到的应用程序236-1和应用程序236-1的应用程序视图291。事件分类器270包括事件监视器271和事件分配器模块274。在一些实施方案中,应用程序236-1包括应用程序内部状态292,该应用程序内部状态指示当应用程序是活动的或正在执行时被显示在触敏显示器212上的一个或多个当前应用程序视图。在一些实施方案中,设备/全局内部状态257被事件分类器270用于确定哪个(哪些)应用程序当前是活动的,并且应用程序内部状态292被事件分类器270用于确定要将事件信息递送到的应用程序视图291。
在一些实施方案中,应用程序内部状态292包括附加信息,诸如以下各项中的一者或多者:当应用程序236-1恢复执行时将被使用的恢复信息、指示正被该应用程序显示的信息或准备好用于被应用程序236-1显示的信息的用户界面状态信息、用于使得用户能够返回到应用程序236-1的前一状态或视图的状态队列以及用户采取的先前动作的重复/撤销队列。
事件监视器271从外围设备接口218接收事件信息。事件信息包括关于子事件(例如,作为多点触摸手势一部分的触敏显示器212上的用户触摸)的信息。外围设备接口218传输其从I/O子系统206或传感器诸如接近传感器266、加速度计268和/或麦克风213(通过音频电路210)接收的信息。外围设备接口218从I/O子系统206接收的信息包括来自触敏显示器212或触敏表面的信息。
在一些实施方案中,事件监视器271以预先确定的间隔将请求发送至外围设备接口218。作为响应,外围设备接口218传输事件信息。在其他实施方案中,外围设备接口218仅当存在显著事件(例如,接收到高于预先确定的噪声阈值的输入和/或接收到超过预先确定的持续时间的输入)时才传输事件信息。
在一些实施方案中,事件分类器270还包括命中视图确定模块272和/或活动事件识别器确定模块273。
当触敏显示器212显示多于一个视图时,命中视图确定模块272提供用于确定子事件已在一个或多个视图内的什么地方发生的软件过程。视图由用户能够在显示器上看到的控件和其他元素构成。
与应用程序相关联的用户界面的另一方面是一组视图,本文中有时也称为应用程序视图或用户界面窗口,在其中显示信息并且发生基于触摸的手势。在其中检测到触摸的(相应应用程序的)应用程序视图可对应于应用程序的程序化或视图分级结构内的程序化水平。例如,在其中检测到触摸的最低层级视图可被叫做命中视图,并且被识别为正确输入的那组事件可至少部分地基于开始基于触摸的手势的初始触摸的命中视图来确定。
命中视图确定模块272接收与基于触摸的手势的子事件相关的信息。当应用程序具有在分级结构中组织的多个视图时,命中视图确定模块272将命中视图识别为应对子事件进行处理的分级结构中的最低视图。在大多数情况下,命中视图是发起子事件(例如,形成事件或潜在事件的子事件序列中的第一子事件)在其中发生的最低水平视图。一旦命中视图被命中视图确定模块272识别,命中视图便通常接收与被识别为命中视图的同一触摸或输入源相关的所有子事件。
活动事件识别器确定模块273确定视图分级结构内的哪个或哪些视图应接收特定子事件序列。在一些实施方案中,活动事件识别器确定模块273确定仅命中视图才应接收特定子事件序列。在其他实施方案中,活动事件识别器确定模块273确定包括子事件的物理位置的所有视图都是活跃参与的视图,并且由此确定所有活跃参与的视图都应接收特定子事件序列。在其他实施方案中,即使触摸子事件完全被局限到与一个特定视图相关联的区域,分级结构中的较高视图将仍然保持为活跃参与的视图。
事件分配器模块274将事件信息分配到事件识别器(例如,事件识别器280)。在包括活动事件识别器确定模块273的实施方案中,事件分配器模块274将事件信息递送到由活动事件识别器确定模块273确定的事件识别器。在一些实施方案中,事件分配器模块274在事件队列中存储事件信息,该事件信息由相应事件接收器282进行检索。
在一些实施方案中,操作系统226包括事件分类器270。另选地,应用程序236-1包括事件分类器270。在另一个实施方案中,事件分类器270为独立模块,或者为被存储在存储器202中的另一个模块(诸如接触/运动模块230)的一部分。
在一些实施方案中,应用程序236-1包括多个事件处理程序290和一个或多个应用程序视图291,其中每个应用程序视图包括用于处理发生在应用程序的用户界面的相应视图内的触摸事件的指令。应用程序236-1的每个应用程序视图291包括一个或多个事件识别器280。通常,相应应用程序视图291包括多个事件识别器280。在其他实施方案中,事件识别器280中的一个或多个事件识别器是独立模块的一部分,该独立模块为诸如用户界面工具包(未示出)或应用程序236-1从中继承方法和其他属性的更高级别的对象。在一些实施方案中,相应事件处理程序290包括以下一者或多者:数据更新器276、对象更新器277、GUI更新器278和/或从事件分类器270接收的事件数据279。事件处理程序290可利用或调用数据更新器276、对象更新器277或GUI更新器278,以更新应用程序内部状态292。另选地,应用程序视图291中的一个或多个应用程序视图包括一个或多个相应的事件处理程序290。另外,在一些实施方案中,数据更新器276、对象更新器277和GUI更新器278中的一者或多者包括在相应的应用程序视图291中。
相应的事件识别器280从事件分类器270接收事件信息(例如,事件数据279),并且从事件信息识别事件。事件识别器280包括事件接收器282和事件比较器284。在一些实施方案中,事件识别器280还至少包括以下各项的子集:元数据283和事件递送指令288(其可包括子事件递送指令)。
事件接收器282接收来自事件分类器270的事件信息。事件信息包括关于子事件例如触摸或触摸移动的信息。根据子事件,事件信息还包括附加信息,诸如子事件的位置。当子事件涉及触摸的运动时,事件信息还可包括子事件的速率和方向。在一些实施方案中,事件包括设备从一个取向旋转到另一取向(例如,从纵向取向旋转到横向取向,或反之亦然),并且事件信息包括关于设备的当前取向(也被称为设备姿态)的对应信息。
事件比较器284将事件信息与预定义的事件或子事件定义进行比较,并且基于该比较,确定事件或子事件,或者确定或更新事件或子事件的状态。在一些实施方案中,事件比较器284包括事件定义286。事件定义286包含事件的定义(例如,预定义的子事件序列),例如事件1(287-1)、事件2(287-2)、以及其他事件。在一些实施方案中,事件(287)中的子事件包括例如,触摸开始、触摸结束、触摸移动、触摸取消和多点触摸。在一个示例中,事件1(287-1)的定义是在所显示对象上的双击。例如,双击包括所显示对象上的预先确定时长的第一次触摸(触摸开始)、预先确定时长的第一次抬离(触摸结束)、所显示对象上的预先确定时长的第二次触摸(触摸开始)以及预先确定时长的第二次抬离(触摸结束)。在另一个示例中,事件2(287-2)的定义是所显示对象上的拖动。例如,拖动包括所显示对象上的预先确定时长的触摸(或接触)、触摸在触敏显示器212上的移动、以及触摸的抬离(触摸结束)。在一些实施方案中,事件还包括用于一个或多个相关联的事件处理程序290的信息。
在一些实施方案中,事件定义287包括用于相应用户界面对象的事件的定义。在一些实施方案中,事件比较器284执行命中测试,以确定哪个用户界面对象与子事件相关联。例如,在触敏显示器212上显示三个用户界面对象的应用程序视图中,当在触敏显示器212上检测到触摸时,事件比较器284执行命中测试,以确定这三个用户界面对象中的哪一个用户界面对象与该触摸(子事件)相关联。如果每个所显示对象与相应的事件处理程序290相关联,则事件比较器使用该命中测试的结果,以确定哪个事件处理程序290应当被激活。例如,事件比较器284选择与子事件和触发该命中测试的对象相关联的事件处理程序。
在一些实施方案中,相应事件(287)的定义还包括延迟动作,所述延迟动作延迟事件信息的递送,直到已确定子事件序列确实对应于或不对应于事件识别器的事件类型。
当相应事件识别器280确定子事件系列不与事件定义286中的任何事件匹配时,该相应事件识别器280进入事件不可能、事件失败或事件结束状态,在此之后忽略基于触摸的手势的后续子事件。在这种情况下,对于命中视图保持活动的其他事件识别器(如果有的话)继续跟踪并处理持续进行的基于触摸的手势的子事件。
在一些实施方案中,相应事件识别器280包括元数据283,该元数据具有指示事件递送系统应该如何执行对活跃参与的事件识别器的子事件递送的可配置属性、标记和/或列表。在一些实施方案中,元数据283包括指示事件识别器彼此如何交互或可如何交互的可配置属性、标志和/或列表。在一些实施方案中,元数据283包括指示子事件是否递送到视图或程序化分级结构中的不同层级的可配置属性、标志和/或列表。
在一些实施方案中,当识别事件的一个或多个特定子事件时,相应事件识别器280激活与事件相关联的事件处理程序290。在一些实施方案中,相应事件识别器280将与事件相关联的事件信息递送到事件处理程序290。激活事件处理程序290不同于将子事件发送(和延期发送)到相应命中视图。在一些实施方案中,事件识别器280发出与所识别的事件相关联的标志,并且与该标志相关联的事件处理程序290获取该标志并执行预定义的过程。
在一些实施方案中,事件递送指令288包括递送关于子事件的事件信息而无需激活事件处理程序的子事件递送指令。相反,子事件递送指令将事件信息递送到与子事件序列相关联的事件处理程序或者递送到活跃参与的视图。与子事件序列或与活跃参与的视图相关联的事件处理程序接收事件信息并执行预先确定的过程。
在一些实施方案中,数据更新器276创建并更新在应用程序236-1中使用的数据。例如,数据更新器276对联系人模块237中所使用的电话号码进行更新,或者对视频播放器模块中所使用的视频文件进行存储。在一些实施方案中,对象更新器277创建并更新在应用程序236-1中使用的对象。例如,对象更新器277创建新用户界面对象或更新用户界面对象的位置。GUI更新器278更新GUI。例如,GUI更新器278准备显示信息,并且将显示信息发送到图形模块232用以显示在触敏显示器上。
在一些实施方案中,一个或多个事件处理程序290包括数据更新器276、对象更新器277和GUI更新器278,或具有对该数据更新器、该对象更新器和该GUI更新器的访问权限。在一些实施方案中,数据更新器276、对象更新器277和GUI更新器278被包括在相应应用程序236-1或应用程序视图291的单个模块中。在其他实施方案中,它们被包括在两个或更多个软件模块中。
应当理解,上述关于触敏显示器上的用户触摸的事件处理的论述还适用于利用输入设备操作多功能设备200的其他形式的用户输入,并不是所有用户输入都是在触摸屏上发起的。例如,任选地与单次或多次键盘按下或按住协作的鼠标移动和鼠标按钮按下;触摸板上的接触移动,诸如轻击、拖动、滚动等;触笔输入;设备的移动;口头指令;检测到的眼睛移动;生物特征输入;和/或它们的任何组合任选地被用作对应于限定要识别的事件的子事件的输入。
图3示出了根据一些实施方案具有触摸屏212的便携式多功能设备200。触摸屏任选地在用户界面(UI)300内显示一个或多个图形。在该实施方案中以及在下文中描述的其他实施方案中,用户能够通过例如利用一个或多个手指302(在附图中没有按比例绘制)或者利用一个或多个触笔303(在附图中没有按比例绘制)在图形上做出手势来选择这些图形中的一个或多个图形。在一些实施方案中,当用户中断与一个或多个图形的接触时,将发生对一个或多个图形的选择。在一些实施方案中,手势任选地包括一次或多次轻击、一次或多次轻扫(从左到右、从右到左、向上和/或向下)和/或已与设备200发生接触的手指的滚动(从右到左、从左到右、向上和/或向下)。在一些具体实施中或在一些情况下,不经意地与图形接触不会选择图形。例如,当与选择对应的手势是轻击时,在应用程序图标上方扫动的轻扫手势任选地不会选择对应的应用程序。
设备200还可包括一个或多个物理按钮,诸如“home”按钮或菜单按钮304。如前所述,菜单按钮304可被用于导航到可在设备200上执行的应用程序集中的任何应用程序236。另选地,在一些实施方案中,菜单按钮被实现为被显示在触摸屏212上的GUI中的软键。
在一些实施方案中,设备200包括触摸屏212、菜单按钮304、用于使设备通电/断电和用于锁定设备的下压按钮306、一个或多个音量调节按钮308、用户身份模块(SIM)卡槽310、耳麦插孔312和对接/充电外部端口224。下压按钮306任选地用于通过压下该按钮并且将该按钮保持在压下状态持续预定义的时间间隔来对设备进行开/关机;通过压下该按钮并在该预定义的时间间隔过去之前释放该按钮来锁定设备;和/或对设备进行解锁或发起解锁过程。在另选的实施方案中,设备200还通过麦克风213接受用于激活或去激活某些功能的语音输入。设备200还任选地包括用于检测触摸屏212上的接触的强度的一个或多个接触强度传感器265,和/或用于为设备200的用户生成触觉输出的一个或多个触觉输出发生器267。
图4是根据一些实施方案的具有显示器和触敏表面的示例性多功能设备的框图。设备400不必为便携式的。在一些实施方案中,设备400为膝上型计算机、台式计算机、平板电脑、多媒体播放器设备、导航设备、教育设备(诸如儿童学习玩具)、游戏系统、或控制设备(例如,家用控制器或工业用控制器)。设备400通常包括一个或多个处理单元(CPU)410、一个或多个网络或其他通信接口460、存储器470和用于使这些部件互连的一个或多个通信总线420。通信总线420任选地包括使系统部件互连并且控制系统部件之间的通信的电路(有时被叫做芯片组)。设备400包括具有显示器440的输入/输出(I/O)接口430,该显示器通常是触摸屏显示器。I/O接口430还任选地包括键盘和/或鼠标(或其他指向设备)450以及触控板455、用于在设备400上生成触觉输出的触觉输出发生器457(例如,类似于以上参考图2A所述的一个或多个触觉输出发生器267)、传感器459(例如,光学传感器、加速度传感器、接近传感器、触敏传感器,和/或类似于以上参考图2A所述的一个或多个接触强度传感器265的接触强度传感器)。存储器470包括高速随机存取存储器,诸如DRAM、SRAM、DDRRAM或其他随机存取固态存储器设备;并且任选地包括非易失性存储器,诸如一个或多个磁盘存储设备、光盘存储设备、闪存存储器设备或其他非易失性固态存储设备。存储器470任选地包括远离一个或多个CPU 410定位的一个或多个存储设备。在一些实施方案中,存储器470存储与便携式多功能设备200(图2A)的存储器202中存储的程序、模块和数据结构类似的程序、模块和数据结构或其子集。此外,存储器470任选地存储在便携式多功能设备200的存储器202中不存在的附加程序、模块和数据结构。例如,设备400的存储器470任选地存储绘图模块480、呈现模块482、文字处理模块484、网站创建模块486、盘编辑模块488和/或电子表格模块490,而便携式多功能设备200(图2A)的存储器202任选地不存储这些模块。
图4中的上述元素中的每个元素可存储在一个或多个前面提及的存储器设备中。上述模块中的每个模块对应于用于执行上述功能的指令集。上述模块或程序(例如,指令集)不必被实现为单独的软件程序、过程或模块,并且因此这些模块的各种子集可在各种实施方案中被组合或以其他方式重新布置。在一些实施方案中,存储器470可存储上述模块和数据结构的子集。此外,存储器470可存储上文没有描述的附加模块和数据结构。
现在将注意力转向可在例如便携式多功能设备200上实现的用户界面的实施方案。
图5A示出了根据一些实施方案的便携式多功能设备200上的应用程序的菜单的示例性用户界面。类似的用户界面可在设备400上实现。在一些实施方案中,用户界面500包括以下元素或者其子集或超集:
无线通信(诸如蜂窝信号和Wi-Fi信号)的信号强度指示器502;
·时间504;
·蓝牙指示符505;
·电池状态指示符506;
·具有常用应用程序的图标的托盘508,常用应用程序图标诸如:
ο电话模块238的被标记为“电话”的图标516,该图标任选地包括未接来电或语音留言的数量的指示符514;
ο电子邮件客户端模块240的被标记为“邮件”的图标518,该图标任选地包括未读电子邮件的数量的指示符510;

ο用于设置应用程序或模块的被标记为“设置”的图标546,该图标提供对设备200及其各种应用程序236的设置的访问。
需注意,图5A中示出的图标标签仅是示例性的。例如,视频和音乐播放器模块252的图标522可任选地被标记为“音乐”或“音乐播放器”。对于各种应用程序图标任选地使用其他标签。在一些实施方案中,相应应用程序图标的标签包括与该相应应用程序图标对应的应用程序的名称。在一些实施方案中,特定应用程序图标的标签不同于与该特定应用程序图标对应的应用程序的名称。
图5B示出了具有与显示器550(例如,触摸屏显示器212)分开的触敏表面551(例如,图4的平板或触摸板455)的设备(例如,图4的设备400)上的示例性用户界面。设备400还任选地包括用于检测触敏表面551上的接触的强度的一个或多个接触强度传感器(例如,传感器457中的一个或多个传感器)和/或用于为设备400的用户生成触觉输出的一个或多个触觉输出发生器459。
尽管将参考触摸屏显示器212(其中组合了触敏表面和显示器)上的输入给出随后的示例中的一些示例,但是在一些实施方案中,设备检测与显示器分开的触敏表面上的输入,如图5B中所示。在一些实施方案中,触敏表面(例如,图5B中的551)具有与显示器(例如,550)上的主轴(例如,图5B中的553)对应的主轴(例如,图5B中的552)。根据这些实施方案,设备检测在与显示器上的相应位置对应的位置(例如,在图5B中,560对应于568并且562对应于570)处的与触敏表面551的接触(例如,图5B中的560和562)。这样,在触敏表面(例如,图5B中的551)与多功能设备的显示器(例如,图5B中的550)分开时,由设备在触敏表面上检测到的用户输入(例如,接触560和562以及它们的移动)被该设备用于操纵显示器上的用户界面。应当理解,类似的方法任选地用于本文所述的其他用户界面。
另外,虽然主要是参考手指输入(例如,手指接触、手指轻击手势、手指轻扫手势)来给出下面的示例,但是应当理解的是,在一些实施方案中,这些手指输入中的一个或多个手指输入由来自另一输入设备的输入(例如,基于鼠标的输入或触笔输入)替代。例如,轻扫手势任选地由鼠标点击(例如,而不是接触),之后是光标沿着轻扫的路径的移动(例如,而不是接触的移动)替代。又如,轻击手势任选地由在光标位于轻击手势的位置上方时的鼠标点击(例如,代替对接触的检测,之后是停止检测接触)替代。类似地,当同时检测到多个用户输入时,应当理解的是,多个计算机鼠标任选地被同时使用,或鼠标和手指接触任选地被同时使用。
图6A示出了示例性个人电子设备600。设备600包括主体602。在一些实施方案中,设备600可包括相对于设备200和400(例如,图2A-图4B)所述的特征部中的一些或全部特征部。在一些实施方案中,设备600具有在下文中称为触摸屏604的触敏显示屏604。作为触摸屏604的替代或补充,设备600具有显示器和触敏表面。与设备200和设备400的情况一样,在一些实施方案中,触摸屏604(或触敏表面)可具有用于检测正施加的接触(例如,触摸)强度的一个或多个强度传感器。触摸屏604(或触敏表面)的一个或多个强度传感器可提供表示触摸的强度的输出数据。设备600的用户界面可基于触摸强度来对触摸作出响应,这意味着不同强度的触摸可调用设备600上的不同用户界面操作。
用于检测和处理触摸强度的技术可例如在相关申请中找到:2013年5月8日提交的名称为“Device,Method,and Graphical User Interface for Displaying UserInterface Objects Corresponding to an Application”的国际专利申请PCT/US2013/040061,以及2013年11月11日提交的名称为“Device,Method,and Graphical UserInterface for Transitioning Between Touch Input to Display OutputRelationships”的国际专利申请PCT/US2013/069483,这两个国际专利申请中的每个据此全文以引用方式并入本文。
在一些实施方案中,设备600具有一个或多个输入机构606和608。输入机构606和608(如果包括的话)可以是物理形式的。物理输入机构的示例包括下压按钮和可旋转机构。在一些实施方案中,设备600具有一个或多个附接机构。此类附接机构(如果包括的话)可允许将设备600与例如帽子、眼镜、耳环、项链、衬衣、夹克、手镯、表带、手链、裤子、皮带、鞋子、钱包、背包等附接。这些附接机构可允许用户穿戴设备600。
图6B示出了示例性个人电子设备600。在一些实施方案中,设备600可包括相对于图2A、图2B和图4所述的部件中的一些或全部部件。设备600具有总线612,该总线将I/O部分614与一个或多个计算机处理器616和存储器618操作性地耦接。I/O部分614可连接到显示器604,该显示器可具有触敏部件622并且任选地具有触摸强度敏感部件624。此外,I/O部分614可与通信单元630连接,用于使用Wi-Fi、蓝牙、近场通信(NFC)、蜂窝和/或其他无线通信技术来接收应用程序和操作系统数据。设备600可包括输入机构606和/或608。例如,输入机构606可以是可旋转输入设备或者可按压且可旋转输入设备。在一些示例中,输入机构608可以是按钮。
在一些示例中,输入机构608可以是麦克风。个人电子设备600可包括各种传感器,诸如GPS传感器632、加速度计634、定向传感器640(例如,罗盘)、陀螺仪636、运动传感器638和/或它们的组合,所有这些设备均可操作地连接到I/O部分614。
个人电子设备600的存储器618可以是用于存储计算机可执行指令的非暂态计算机可读存储介质,该计算机可执行指令当由一个或多个计算机处理器616执行时,例如可使得计算机处理器执行下文描述的包括过程1200(图12A-D)的技术。该计算机可执行指令还可以在任何非暂态计算机可读存储介质内进行存储和/或传输,以供指令执行系统、装置或设备,诸如基于计算机的系统、包括处理器的系统或其他系统使用或与其结合,所述其他系统可从指令执行系统、装置或设备获取指令并执行指令。个人电子设备600不限于图6B的部件和配置,而是可包括多种配置的其他部件或附加部件。
如本文所用,术语“示能表示”是指可在设备200、400和/或600(图2、图4和图6)的显示屏上显示的用户交互式图形用户界面对象。例如,图像(例如,图标)、按钮和文本(例如,链接)可各自构成示能表示。
如本文所用,术语“焦点选择器”是指用于指示用户正与之进行交互的用户界面的当前部分的输入元素。在包括光标或其他位置标记的一些具体实施中,光标充当“焦点选择器”,使得当光标在特定用户界面元素(例如,按钮、窗口、滑块或其他用户界面元素)上方时在触敏表面(例如,图4中的触摸板455或图5B中的触敏表面551)上检测到输入(例如,按压输入)的情况下,该特定用户界面元素根据所检测到的输入而被调节。在包括能够实现与触摸屏显示器上的用户界面元素的直接交互的触摸屏显示器(例如,图2A中的触敏显示器系统212或图5A中的触摸屏212)的一些具体实施中,触摸屏上的所检测到的接触充当“焦点选择器”,使得当在触摸屏显示器上在特定用户界面元素(例如,按钮、窗口、滑块或其他用户界面元素)的位置处检测到输入(例如,由接触进行的按压输入)时,该特定用户界面元素根据所检测到的输入而被调节。在一些具体实施中,焦点从用户界面的一个区域移动到用户界面的另一个区域,而无需光标的对应移动或触摸屏显示器上的接触的移动(例如,通过使用制表键或箭头键将焦点从一个按钮移动到另一个按钮);在这些具体实施中,焦点选择器根据焦点在用户界面的不同区域之间的移动而移动。不考虑焦点选择器所采取的具体形式,焦点选择器通常是由用户控制的以便递送与用户界面的用户预期的交互(例如,通过向设备指示用户界面的用户期望与其进行交互的元素)的用户界面元素(或触摸屏显示器上的接触)。例如,在触敏表面(例如,触摸板或触摸屏)上检测到按压输入时,焦点选择器(例如,光标、接触或选择框)在相应按钮上方的位置将指示用户旨在激活相应按钮(而不是设备显示器上示出的其他用户界面元素)。
如说明书和权利要求中所使用的,接触的“特征强度”这一术语是指基于接触的一个或多个强度的接触的特征。在一些实施方案中,特征强度基于多个强度样本。特征强度任选地基于相对于预定义事件(例如,在检测到接触之后,在检测到接触抬离之前,在检测到接触开始移动之前或之后,在检测到接触结束之前,在检测到接触的强度增大之前或之后和/或在检测到接触的强度减小之前或之后)而言在预先确定的时间段(例如,0.05秒、0.1秒、0.2秒、0.5秒、1秒、2秒、5秒、10秒)期间采集的预定义数量的强度样本或一组强度样本。接触的特征强度任选地基于以下各项中的一者或多者:接触强度的最大值、接触强度的均值、接触强度的平均值、接触强度的前10%处的值、接触强度的半最大值、接触强度的90%最大值等。在一些实施方案中,在确定特征强度时使用接触的持续时间(例如,在特征强度是接触的强度在时间上的平均值时)。在一些实施方案中,将特征强度与一组一个或多个强度阈值进行比较,以确定用户是否已执行操作。例如,该组一个或多个强度阈值可包括第一强度阈值和第二强度阈值。在该示例中,特征强度未超过第一阈值的接触导致第一操作,特征强度超过第一强度阈值但未超过第二强度阈值的接触导致第二操作,而特征强度超过第二阈值的接触导致第三操作。在一些实施方案中,使用特征强度与一个或多个阈值之间的比较来确定是否要执行一个或多个操作(例如,是执行相应操作还是放弃执行相应操作),而不是用于确定执行第一操作还是第二操作。
在一些实施方案中,识别手势的一部分以用于确定特征强度。例如,触敏表面可接收连续的轻扫接触,该连续的轻扫接触从起始位置过渡并到达结束位置,在该结束位置处,接触的强度增加。在该实施例中,接触在结束位置处的特征强度可仅基于连续轻扫接触的一部分,而不是整个轻扫接触(例如,仅结束位置处的轻扫接触的一部分)。在一些实施方案中,可在确定接触的特征强度之前向轻扫手势的强度应用平滑化算法。例如,平滑化算法任选地包括以下各项中的一种或多种:不加权滑动平均平滑化算法、三角平滑化算法、中值滤波器平滑化算法和/或指数平滑化算法。在一些情况下,这些平滑化算法消除了轻扫接触的强度中的窄的尖峰或凹陷,以实现确定特征强度的目的。
可相对于一个或多个强度阈值诸如接触检测强度阈值、轻按压强度阈值、深按压强度阈值、和/或一个或多个其他强度阈值来表征触敏表面上的接触的强度。在一些实施方案中,轻按压强度阈值对应于这样的强度:在该强度下设备将执行通常与点击物理鼠标或触控板的按钮相关联的操作。在一些实施方案中,深按压强度阈值对应于这样的强度:在该强度下设备将执行与通常与点击物理鼠标或触控板的按钮相关联的操作不同的操作。在一些实施方案中,当检测到特征强度低于轻按压强度阈值(例如,并且高于标称接触检测强度阈值,比标称接触检测强度阈值低的接触不再被检测到)的接触时,设备将根据接触在触敏表面上的移动来移动焦点选择器,而不执行与轻按压强度阈值或深按压强度阈值相关联的操作。一般来讲,除非另有陈述,否则这些强度阈值在不同组的用户界面附图之间是一致的。
接触特征强度从低于轻按压强度阈值的强度增大到介于轻按压强度阈值与深按压强度阈值之间的强度有时被称为“轻按压”输入。接触特征强度从低于深按压强度阈值的强度增大到高于深按压强度阈值的强度有时被称为“深按压”输入。接触特征强度从低于接触检测强度阈值的强度增大到介于接触检测强度阈值与轻按压强度阈值之间的强度有时被称为检测到触摸表面上的接触。接触特征强度从高于接触检测强度阈值的强度减小到低于接触检测强度阈值的强度有时被称为检测到接触从触摸表面抬离。在一些实施方案中,接触检测强度阈值为零。在一些实施方案中,接触检测强度阈值大于零。
在本文中所述的一些实施方案中,响应于检测到包括相应按压输入的手势或响应于检测到利用相应接触(或多个接触)执行的相应按压输入来执行一个或多个操作,其中至少部分地基于检测到该接触(或多个接触)的强度增大到高于按压输入强度阈值而检测到相应按压输入。在一些实施方案中,响应于检测到相应接触的强度增大到高于按压输入强度阈值(例如,相应按压输入的“向下冲程”)来执行相应操作。在一些实施方案中,按压输入包括相应接触的强度增大到高于按压输入强度阈值以及该接触的强度随后减小到低于按压输入强度阈值,并且响应于检测到相应接触的强度随后减小到低于按压输入阈值(例如,相应按压输入的“向上冲程”)来执行相应操作。
在一些实施方案中,设备采用强度滞后以避免有时被称为“抖动”的意外输入,其中设备限定或选择与按压输入强度阈值具有预定义关系的滞后强度阈值(例如,滞后强度阈值比按压输入强度阈值低X个强度单位,或滞后强度阈值是按压输入强度阈值的75%、90%或某个合理比例)。因此,在一些实施方案中,按压输入包括相应接触的强度增大到高于按压输入强度阈值以及该接触的强度随后减小到低于对应于按压输入强度阈值的滞后强度阈值,并且响应于检测到相应接触的强度随后减小到低于滞后强度阈值(例如,相应按压输入的“向上冲程”)来执行相应操作。类似地,在一些实施方案中,仅在设备检测到接触强度从等于或低于滞后强度阈值的强度增大到等于或高于按压输入强度阈值的强度并且任选地接触强度随后减小到等于或低于滞后强度的强度时才检测到按压输入,并且响应于检测到按压输入(例如,根据环境,接触强度增大或接触强度减小)来执行相应操作。
为了容易解释,任选地,响应于检测到以下各种情况中的任一种情况而触发对响应于与按压输入强度阈值相关联的按压输入或响应于包括按压输入的手势而执行的操作的描述:接触强度增大到高于按压输入强度阈值、接触强度从低于滞后强度阈值的强度增大到高于按压输入强度阈值的强度、接触强度减小到低于按压输入强度阈值、和/或接触强度减小到低于与按压输入强度阈值对应的滞后强度阈值。另外,在将操作描述为响应于检测到接触的强度减小到低于按压输入强度阈值而执行的示例中,任选地响应于检测到接触的强度减小到低于对应于并且小于按压输入强度阈值的滞后强度阈值来执行操作。
3.数字助理系统
图7A示出根据各种示例的数字助理系统700的框图。在一些示例中,数字助理系统700可在独立式计算机系统上实现。在一些示例中,数字助理系统700可跨多个计算机分布。在一些示例中,数字助理的模块和功能中的一些模块和功能可被划分成服务器部分和客户端部分,其中客户端部分位于一个或多个用户设备(例如,设备104、122、200、400或600)上并通过一个或多个网络来与服务器部分(例如,服务器系统108)进行通信,例如,如图1所示。在一些示例中,数字助理系统700可以是图1中所示的服务器系统108(和/或DA服务器106)的具体实施。应当指出的是,数字助理系统700仅为数字助理系统的一个示例,并且该数字助理系统700可具有比所示更多或更少的部件、可组合两个或更多个部件,或者可具有部件的不同配置或布置。图7A中所示的各种部件可在硬件、用于由一个或多个处理器执行的软件指令、固件(包括一个或多个信号处理集成电路和/或专用集成电路)或它们的组合中实现。
数字助理系统700可包括存储器702、一个或多个处理器704、输入/输出(I/O)接口706、以及网络通信接口708。这些部件可通过一条或多条通信总线或信号线710彼此通信。
在一些示例中,存储器702可包括非暂态计算机可读介质,诸如高速随机存取存储器和/或非易失性计算机可读存储介质(例如,一个或多个磁盘存储设备、闪存存储器设备、或其他非易失性固态存储器设备)。
在一些示例中,I/O接口706可将数字助理系统700的输入/输出设备716诸如显示器、键盘、触摸屏和麦克风耦接至用户界面模块722。与用户界面模块722结合的I/O接口706可接收用户输入(例如,声音输入、键盘输入、触摸输入等)并相应地对这些输入进行处理。在一些示例中,例如当数字助理在独立式用户设备上实现时,数字助理系统700可包括分别相对于图2A、图4、图6A-图6B中的设备200、400或600所描述的部件和I/O通信接口中的任一者。在一些示例中,数字助理系统700可表示数字助理具体实施的服务器部分,并且可通过位于用户设备(例如,设备104、200、400或设备600)上的客户端侧部分来与用户进行交互。
在一些示例中,网络通信接口708可包括一个或多个有线通信端口712、和/或无线传输和接收电路714。一个或多个有线通信端口可经由一个或多个有线接口例如以太网、通用串行总线(USB)、火线等来接收和发送通信信号。无线电路714可从通信网络以及其他通信设备接收RF信号和/或光学信号,并且将RF信号和/或光学信号发送至通信网络以及其他通信设备。无线通信可使用多种通信标准、协议和技术中的任一者,诸如GSM、EDGE、CDMA、TDMA、蓝牙、Wi-Fi、VoIP、Wi-MAX、或任何其他合适的通信协议。网络通信接口708可使得数字助理系统700通过网络诸如互联网、内联网和/或无线网络(诸如蜂窝电话网络、无线局域网(LAN)和/或城域网(MAN))与其他设备之间的通信成为可能。
在一些示例中,存储器702或存储器702的计算机可读存储介质可存储程序、模块、指令和数据结构,包括以下内容中的全部或其子集:操作系统718、通信模块720、用户界面模块722、一个或多个应用程序724和数字助理模块726。具体地,存储器702或存储器702的计算机可读存储介质可存储用于执行下文描述的过程1200的指令。一个或多个处理器704可执行这些程序、模块和指令,并从数据结构读取数据或将数据写到数据结构。
操作系统718(例如,Darwin、RTXC、LINUX、UNIX、OS X、WINDOWS,或嵌入式操作系统诸如VxWorks)可包括用于控制和管理一般系统任务(例如,存储器管理、存储设备控制、电源管理等)的各种软件部件和/或驱动器,并且促进各种硬件、固件和软件部件之间的通信。
通信模块720可促进数字助理系统700与其他设备之间的通过网络通信接口708进行的通信。例如,通信模块720可与电子设备(诸如,分别在图2A、图4、图6A-图6B中示出的设备200、400和600)的RF电路208进行通信。通信模块720还可包括用于处理由无线电路714和/或有线通信端口712所接收的数据的各种部件。
用户界面模块722可经由I/O接口706来接收来自用户(例如,来自键盘、触摸屏、指向设备、控制器和/或麦克风)的命令和/或输入,并在显示器上生成用户界面对象。用户界面模块722还可准备输出(例如,语音、声音、动画、文本、图标、振动、触觉反馈、光照等)并将输出经由I/O接口706(例如,通过显示器、音频通道、扬声器、触摸板等)递送给用户。
应用程序724可包括被配置为由一个或多个处理器704执行的程序和/或模块。例如,如果数字助理系统在独立式用户设备上实现,则应用程序724可包括用户应用程序,诸如游戏、日历应用程序、导航应用程序或邮件应用程序。如果数字助理系统700在服务器上实现,则应用程序724可包括例如资源管理应用程序、诊断应用程序或调度应用程序。
存储器702还可存储数字助理模块726(或数字助理的服务器部分)。在一些示例中,数字助理模块726可包括以下子模块或者其子集或超集:输入/输出处理模块728、语音转文本(STT)处理模块730、自然语言处理模块732、对话流处理模块734、任务流处理模块736、服务处理模块738和语音合成模块740。这些模块中的每个模块均可具有对以下数字助理模块726的系统或数据与模型中的一者或多者或者其子集或超集的访问权限:知识本体760、词汇索引744、用户数据748、任务流模型754、服务模型756和ASR系统。
在一些示例中,使用在数字助理模块726中实现的处理模块、数据和模型,数字助理可执行以下中的至少一些:将语音输入转换成文本;识别在从用户接收的自然语言输入中表达的用户意图;主动引出并获得完全推断用户意图所需的信息(例如,通过消除字词、姓名、意图的歧义等);确定用于满足推断出的意图的任务流;以及执行该任务流以满足推断出的意图。
在一些示例中,如图7B中所示,I/O处理模块728可通过图7A中的I/O设备716与用户进行交互或通过图7A中的网络通信接口708与用户设备(例如,设备104、200、400或600)进行交互,以获取用户输入(例如,语音输入)并提供对用户输入的响应(例如,作为语音输出)。I/O处理模块728随同接收到用户输入一起或在接收到用户输入之后不久可任选地获取与来自用户设备的用户输入相关联的上下文信息。上下文信息可包括特定于用户的数据、词汇,和/或与用户输入相关的偏好。在一些示例中,该上下文信息还包括在接收到用户请求时的用户设备的软件状态和硬件状态,和/或在接收到用户请求时与用户的周围环境相关的信息。在一些示例中,I/O处理模块728还可将与用户请求有关的跟进问题发送至用户,并从用户接收回答。在用户请求被I/O处理模块728接收并且用户请求可包括语音输入时,I/O处理模块728可将语音输入转发至STT处理模块730(或语音识别器),以用于语音文本转换。
STT处理模块730可包括一个或多个ASR系统。一个或多个ASR系统可处理通过I/O处理模块728接收到的语音输入,以产生识别结果。每个ASR系统可包括前端语音预处理器。前端语音预处理器可从语音输入提取代表性特征。例如,前端语音预处理器可对语音输入执行傅里叶变换,以提取表征语音输入的光谱特征作为代表性多维向量的序列。此外,每个ASR系统可包括一个或多个语音识别模型(例如,声音模型和/或语言模型),并且可实现一个或多个语音识别引擎。语音识别模型的示例可包括隐马尔可夫模型、高斯混合模型、深层神经网络模型、n元语言模型、以及其他统计模型。语音识别引擎的示例可包括基于动态时间规整的引擎和基于加权有限状态换能器(WFST)的引擎。一个或多个语音识别模型和一个或多个语音识别引擎可用于处理前端语音预处理器的所提取的代表性特征,以产生中间识别结果(例如,音素、音素串和子字),并且最终产生文本识别结果(例如,字词、字词串或符号的序列)。在一些示例中,语音输入可至少部分地由第三方服务处理或在用户的设备(例如,设备104、200、400或600)上处理,以产生识别结果。一旦STT处理模块730产生包含文本串(例如,字词,或字词的序列,或符号的序列)的识别结果,识别结果便可被传送至自然语言处理模块732以用于意图推断。
有关语音转文本处理的更多细节在提交于2011年9月20日的名为“ConsolidatingSpeech Recognition Results”的美国实用新型专利申请序列号13/236,942中有所描述,其全部公开内容以引用方式并入本文。
在一些示例中,STT处理模块730可包括可识别字词的词汇,和/或可经由语音字母转换模块731来访问该词汇。每个词汇字词可与以语音识别语音字母表来表示的字词的一个或多个候选发音相关联。具体地,可识别字词的词汇可包括与多个候选发音相关联的字词。例如,该词汇可包括与/t/和//的候选发音相关联的字词“tomato”。此外,词汇字词可与基于来自用户的先前语音输入的自定义候选发音相关联。此类自定义候选发音可被存储在STT处理模块730中,并且可经由设备上的用户配置文件而与特定用户相关联。在一些示例中,字词的候选发音可基于字词的拼写以及一个或多个语言学和/或语音学规则来确定。在一些示例中,候选发音可手动生成,例如基于已知的规范发音而手动生成。
在一些示例中,可基于候选发音的普遍性来对候选发音进行排名。例如,候选语音//的排名可高于//,因为前者是更常用的发音(例如,在所有用户中,对于特定地理区域的用户而言,或者对于任何其他合适的用户子集而言)。在一些示例中,可基于候选发音是否为与用户相关联的自定义候选发音来对候选发音进行排名。例如,自定义候选发音的排名可高于标准候选发音。这可用于识别具有偏离规范发音的独特发音的专有名词。在一些示例中,候选发音可与一个或多个语音特征,诸如地理起源、国家、或种族相关联。例如,候选发音//可能与美国相关联,而候选发音//可能与英国相关联。此外,候选发音的排名可基于被存储在设备上的用户配置文件中的用户的一个或多个特征(例如,地理起源、国家、种族等)。例如,可从用户配置文件确定该用户与美国相关联。基于用户与美国相关联,可将候选发音//(与美国相关联)排得比候选发音//(与英国相关联)更高。在一些示例中,经排名的候选发音中的一个候选发音可被选作预测发音(例如,最可能的发音)。
当接收到语音输入时,STT处理模块730可用于(例如,使用声音模型)确定对应于该语音输入的音素,并且然后尝试(例如,使用语言模型)确定匹配该音素的字词。例如,如果STT处理模块730可以首先识别音素序列/趋向于语音输入(例如,使用声学模型),则然后尝试确定与744匹配的单词,则该序列对应于单词“tomato”。
在一些示例中,STT处理模块730可使用模糊匹配技术来确定声音输入中的字词。因此,例如,STT处理模块730可确定音素序列//对应于字词“tomato”,即使该特定音素序列不是该字词的候选音素序列。
数字助理的自然语言处理模块732(“自然语言处理器”)可取得由STT处理模块730生成的字词或符号的序列(“符号序列”),并尝试将该符号序列与由数字助理所识别的一个或多个“可执行意图”相关联。“可执行意图”可表示可由数字助理执行并且可具有在任务流模型754中实现的相关联的任务流的任务。相关联任务流可以是数字助理为了执行任务而采取的一系列经编程的动作和步骤。数字助理的能力范围可取决于已在任务流模型754中实施并存储的任务流的数量和种类,或换句话讲,取决于数字助理所识别的“可执行意图”的数量和种类。然而,数字助理的有效性还可取决于助理从以自然语言表达的用户请求中推断出正确的“一个或多个可执行意图”的能力。
在一些示例中,除了从STT处理模块730获取的字词或符号的序列之外,自然语言处理模块732还可(例如,从I/O处理模块728)接收与用户请求相关联的上下文信息。自然语言处理模块732可任选地使用上下文信息来明确、补充和/或进一步限定被包含在从STT处理模块730接收的符号序列中的信息。上下文信息可包括例如:用户偏好、用户设备的硬件和/或软件状态、在用户请求之前、期间或之后不久收集的传感器信息、数字助理与用户之间的先前交互(例如,对话)等。如本文所述,上下文信息可以是动态的,并且可随对话的时间、位置、内容以及其他因素而变化。
在一些示例中,自然语言处理可基于例如知识本体760。知识本体760可以是包含许多节点的分级结构,每个节点表示“可执行意图”或与“可执行意图”或其他“属性”中的一者或多者相关的“属性”。如上所述,“可执行意图”可表示数字助理能够执行的任务,即该任务为“可执行的”或可被进行的。“属性”可表示与可执行意图或另一属性的子方面相关联的参数。知识本体760中的可执行意图节点与属性节点之间的链接可定义由属性节点表示的参数如何与由可执行意图节点表示的任务相关。
在一些示例中,知识本体760可由可执行意图节点和属性节点组成。在知识本体760内,每个可执行意图节点可直接链接至或通过一个或多个中间属性节点链接至一个或多个属性节点。类似地,每个属性节点可直接链接至或通过一个或多个中间属性节点链接至一个或多个可执行意图节点。例如,如图7C所示,知识本体760可包括“餐厅预订”节点(即,可执行意图节点)。属性节点“餐厅”、“日期/时间”(针对预订)和“同行人数”各自可直接链接至可执行意图节点(即,“餐厅预订”节点)。
此外,属性节点“菜系”、“价格区间”、“电话号码”和“位置”可以是属性节点“餐厅”的子节点,并且各自可通过中间属性节点“餐厅”而被链接至“餐厅预订”节点(即,可执行意图节点)。又如,如图7C所示,知识本体760还可包括“设定提醒”节点(即,另一可执行意图节点)。属性节点“日期/时间”(针对设定提醒)和“主题”(针对提醒)各自可链接至“设定提醒”节点。由于属性“日期/时间”可与进行餐厅预订的任务和设定提醒的任务两者相关,因此属性节点“日期/时间”可链接至知识本体760中的“餐厅预订”节点和“设定提醒”节点两者。
可执行意图节点连同其链接的概念节点一起可被描述为“域”。在本论述中,每个域可与相应的可执行意图相关联,并涉及与特定可执行意图相关联的一组节点(以及这些节点之间的关系)。例如,图7C中示出的知识本体760可包括知识本体760内的餐厅预订域762的示例以及提醒域764的示例。餐厅预订域包括可执行意图节点“餐厅预订”、属性节点“餐厅”、“日期/时间”和“同行人数”以及子属性节点“菜系”、“价格区间”、“电话号码”和“位置”。提醒域764可包括可执行意图节点“设置提醒”以及属性节点“主题”和“日期/时间”。在一些示例中,知识本体760可由多个域组成。每个域可与一个或多个其他域共享一个或多个属性节点。例如,除了餐厅预订域762和提醒域764之外,“日期/时间”属性节点还可与许多不同域(例如,时间表域、旅行预订域、电影票域等)相关联。
尽管图7C示出了知识本体760内的两个示例域,但其他域可包括例如“查找电影”、“发起电话呼叫”、“查找方向”、“安排会议”、“发送消息”以及“提供问题的回答”、“阅读列表”、“提供导航指令”、“提供针对任务的指令”等。“发送消息”域可与“发送消息”可执行意图节点相关联,并且还可包括属性节点诸如“一个或多个接收人”、“消息类型”和“消息正文”。属性节点“接收人”可进一步例如由子属性节点诸如“接收人名称”和“消息地址”来限定。
在一些示例中,知识本体760可包括数字助理能够理解并对其起作用的所有域(以及因此可执行的意图)。在一些示例中,知识本体760可诸如通过添加或移除整个域或节点,或者通过修改知识本体760内的节点之间的关系来进行修改。
在一些示例中,可将与多个相关可执行意图相关联的节点群集在知识本体760中的“超级域”下。例如,“旅行”超级域可包括与旅行有关的属性节点和可执行意图节点的群集。与旅行有关的可执行意图节点可包括“航班预订”、“酒店预订”、“汽车租赁”、“路线规划”、“寻找兴趣点”等等。同一超级域(例如,“旅行”超级域)下的可执行意图节点可具有多个共用的属性节点。例如,针对“机票预订”、“酒店预订”、“汽车租赁”、“路线规划”和“寻找兴趣点”的可执行意图节点可共享属性节点“起始位置”、“目的地”、“出发日期/时间”、“到达日期/时间”和“同行人数”中的一者或多者。
在一些示例中,知识本体760中的每个节点可与和由节点表示的属性或可执行意图有关的一组字词和/或短语相关联。与每个节点相关联的相应组的字词和/或短语可是所谓的与节点相关联的“词汇”。可将与每个节点相关联的相应组的字词和/或短语存储在与由节点所表示的属性或可执行意图相关联的词汇索引744中。例如,返回图7B,与“餐厅”属性的节点相关联的词汇可包括字词诸如“美食”、“酒水”、“菜系”、“饥饿”、“吃”、“披萨”、“快餐”、“膳食”等。又如,与“发起电话呼叫”可执行意图的节点相关联的词汇可包括字词和短语,诸如“呼叫”、“打电话”、“拨打”、“与……通电话”、“呼叫该号码”、“打电话给”等。词汇索引744可任选地包括不同语言的字词和短语。
自然语言处理模块732可从STT处理模块730接收符号序列(例如,文本串),并确定符号序列中的字词牵涉哪些节点。在一些示例中,如果发现符号序列中的字词或短语(经由词汇索引744)与知识本体760中的一个或多个节点相关联,则该字词或短语可“触发”或“激活”这些节点。基于已激活节点的数量和/或相对重要性,自然语言处理模块732可选择可执行意图中的一个可执行意图作为用户意图使数字助理执行的任务。在一些示例中,可选择具有最多“已触发”节点的域。在一些示例中,可选择具有最高置信度值(例如,基于其各种已触发节点的相对重要性)的域。在一些示例中,可基于已触发节点的数量和重要性的组合来选择域。在一些示例中,在选择节点的过程中还考虑附加因素,诸如数字助理先前是否已正确解译来自用户的类似请求。
用户数据748可包括特定于用户的信息,诸如特定于用户的词汇、用户偏好、用户地址、用户的默认语言和第二语言、用户的联系人列表、以及每位用户的其他短期或长期信息。在一些示例中,自然语言处理模块732可使用特定于用户的信息来补充用户输入中所包含的信息,以进一步限定用户意图。例如,针对用户请求“邀请我的朋友参加我的生日聚会”,自然语言处理模块732可能够访问用户数据748以确定“朋友”是哪些人以及“生日聚会”将于何时何地举行,而无需用户在其请求中明确地提供此类信息。
基于符号串搜索知识本体的其他细节在提交于2008年12月22日的名为“Methodand Apparatus for Searching Using An Active Ontology”的美国实用新型专利申请序列号12/341,743中有所描述,其全部公开内容以引用方式并入本文。
在一些示例中,一旦自然语言处理模块732基于用户请求而识别出可执行意图(或域),自然语言处理模块732便可生成结构化查询,以表示所识别的可执行意图。在一些示例中,结构化查询可包括针对可执行意图的域内的一个或多个节点的参数,并且该参数中的至少一些参数填充有在用户请求中指定的特定信息和要求。例如,用户可以说“帮我在寿司店预订晚上7点的座位。”在这种情况下,自然语言处理模块732可能够基于用户输入将可执行意图正确地识别为“餐厅预订”。根据知识本体,“餐厅预订”域的结构化查询可包括参数诸如{菜系}、{时间}、{日期}、{同行人数}等。在一些示例中,基于语音输入和使用STT处理模块730从语音输入得出的文本,自然语言处理模块732可针对餐厅预订域生成部分结构化查询,其中部分结构化查询包括参数{菜系=“寿司类”}以及{时间=“晚上7点”}。然而,在该示例中,用户语音输入包含不足以完成与域相关联的结构化查询的信息。因此,基于当前可用的信息,在结构化查询中可能未指定其他必要的参数,诸如{同行人数}和{日期}。在一些示例中,自然语言处理模块732可利用所接收的上下文信息来填充结构化查询的一些参数。例如,在一些示例中,如果用户请求“附近的”寿司店,自然语言处理模块732可利用来自用户设备的GPS坐标来填充结构化查询中的{位置}参数。
在一些示例中,自然语言处理模块732可将所生成的结构化查询(包括任何已完成的参数)传送至任务流处理模块736(“任务流处理器”)。任务流处理模块736可被配置为接收来自自然语言处理模块732的结构化查询,(必要时)完成结构化查询,并且执行“完成”用户最终请求所需的动作。在一些示例中,完成这些任务所必需的各种过程可在任务流模型754中提供。在一些示例中,任务流模型754可包括用于获取来自用户的附加信息的过程,以及用于执行与可执行意图相关联的动作的任务流。
如上所述,为了完成结构化查询,任务流处理模块736可能需要发起与用户的附加对话,以便获得附加信息和/或弄清可能有歧义的语音输入。当有必要进行此类交互时,任务流处理模块736可调用对话流处理模块734以参与同用户的对话。在一些示例中,对话流处理模块734可确定如何(和/或何时)向用户请求附加信息,并且接收和处理用户响应。该问题可通过I/O处理模块728而被提供至用户并可从用户接收回答。在一些示例中,对话流处理模块734可经由音频和/或视觉输出来向用户呈现对话输出,并接收经由口头或物理(例如,点击)响应的来自用户的输入。继续上述示例,当任务流处理模块736调用对话流处理模块734来确定针对与域“餐厅预订”相关联的结构化查询的“同行人数”和“日期”信息时,对话流处理模块734可生成问题诸如“一行几位?”和“预订哪天?”以传递给用户。一旦从用户接收到回答,对话流处理模块734便可利用缺失信息填充结构化查询,或将信息传递给任务流处理模块736以根据结构化查询来完成缺失信息。
一旦任务流处理模块736已针对可执行意图完成结构化查询,任务流处理模块736便可着手执行与可执行意图相关联的最终任务。因此,任务流处理模块736可根据包含在结构化查询中的特定参数来执行任务流模型中的步骤和指令。例如,针对可执行意图“餐厅预订”的任务流模型可包括用于联系餐厅并在特定时间实际上请求针对特定同行人数的预订的步骤和指令。例如,使用结构化查询诸如:{餐厅预订、餐厅=ABC咖啡馆、日期=3/12/2012、时间=7pm、同行人数=5},任务流处理模块736可执行以下步骤:(1)登录ABC咖啡馆的服务器或餐厅预订系统诸如(2)在网站上的表格中输入日期、时间和同行人数信息,(3)提交表格,以及(4)在用户的日历中形成针对预订的日历条目。
在一些示例中,任务流处理模块736可利用服务处理模块738(“服务处理模块”)的协助完成用户输入中所请求的任务或者提供用户输入中所请求的信息性回答。例如,服务处理模块738可代表任务流处理模块736来发起电话呼叫、设置日历条目、调用地图搜索、调用用户设备上安装的其他用户应用程序或与该其他应用程序进行交互、以及调用第三方服务(例如,餐厅预订门户网站、社交网站、银行门户网站等),或与第三方服务进行交互。在一些示例中,可通过服务模型756中的相应服务模型来指定每项服务所需的协议和应用程序编程接口(API)。服务处理模块738可针对服务来访问适当的服务模型,并依据服务模型根据该服务所需的协议和API来生成针对该服务的请求。
例如,如果餐厅已启用在线预订服务,则餐厅可提交服务模型,该服务模型指定进行预订的必要参数以及将必要参数的值传送至在线预订服务的API。在被任务流处理模块736请求时,服务处理模块738可使用被存储在服务模型中的web地址来建立与在线预订服务的网络连接,并将预订的必要参数(例如,时间、日期、同行人数)以符合在线预订服务的API的格式发送至在线预订接口。
在一些示例中,自然语言处理模块732、对话处理模块734以及任务流处理模块736可被共同且反复地使用,以推断并限定用户的意图、获得信息,以进一步明确并细化用户意图并最终生成响应(即,输出至用户或完成任务)以满足用户的意图。所生成的响应可以是对语音输入的至少部分地满足用户的意图的对话响应。此外,在一些示例中,所生成的响应可被输出为语音输出。在这些示例中,所生成的响应可被发送到语音合成模块740(例如,语音合成器),在语音合成模块中,可处理所生成的响应以将对话响应以语音形式合成。在其他示例中,所生成的响应可以是与满足语音输入中的用户请求相关的数据内容。
语音合成模块740可被配置为合成语音输出以呈现给用户。语音合成模块740基于数字助理提供的文本来合成语音输出。例如,所生成的对话响应可为文本串的形式。语音合成模块740可将文本串转换成可听语音输出。语音合成模块740可使用任何合适的语音合成技术,以便从文本生成语音输出,包括但不限于:拼接合成、单位选择合成、双音素合成、特定于域的合成、共振峰合成、发音合成、基于隐马尔可夫模型(HMM)的合成,以及正弦波合成。在一些示例中,语音合成模块740可被配置为基于与这些字词对应的音素串来合成各个字词。例如,音素串可与所生成的对话响应中的字词相关联。音素串可被存储在与字词相关联的元数据中。语音合成模型740可被配置为直接处理元数据中的音素串,以合成语音形式的字词。
在一些示例中,替代使用语音合成模块740(或除此之外),可在远程设备(例如,服务器系统108)上执行语音合成,并且可将合成的语音发送至用户设备以输出给用户。例如,这可发生在一些具体实施中,其中在服务器系统处生成数字助理的输出。并且因为服务器系统通常比用户设备具有更强的处理能力或更多的资源,所以有可能获得比客户端侧合成将实现的质量更高的语音输出。
有关数字助理的另外细节可见于提交于2011年1月10日的名称为“IntelligentAutomated Assistant”的美国实用新型专利申请号12/987,982和提交于2011年9月30日的名称为“Generating and Processing Task Items That Represent Tasks to Perform”的美国实用新型专利申请号13/251,088中,其全部公开内容以引用方式并入本文。
4.数字助理的示例性功能
图8A示出了数字助理800(或数字助理的服务器部分)的功能的框图。在一些示例中,数字助理800可以利用数字助理模块726来实施。数字助理800可以包括类似于数字助理模块726的一个或多个模块、模型、应用程序、词汇表和用户数据。例如,数字助理800可以包括以下子模块,或其子集或超集:输入/输出处理模块828和语音合成模块840。输入/输出处理模块828和语音合成模块840可以分别以类似于输入/输出处理模块728和语音合成模块740的方式实施,如图7B所示。在一些示例中,数字助理800也可以包括语音到文本(STT)处理模块、自然语言处理模块、对话流程处理模块、任务流程处理模块、服务处理模块和语音合成模块。这些模块也可类似于如图7B所示的对应模块来实现,因此未示出并且不进行重复描述。
在一些实施方案中,数字助理800可以包括低声语音确定模块820和低声转换模块810。低声语音确定模块820可以确定是否将提供低声语音响应,例如,基于语音输入和上下文数据中的一个或两者。如图8A所示,在一些示例中,用户830向数字助理800提供语音输入。语音输入可以包括信息请求、执行任务的请求或两者的组合。信息请求寻求信息回答。信息回答提供用户寻求的信息,并且可以涉及任何主题,诸如天气、交通、新闻、金融、体育等。例如,用户830可以向数字助理800询问问题诸如“现在巴黎几点?”。作为响应,数字助理800可以回答“现在在巴黎是下午2点”。
在一些示例中,语音输入可以包括执行任务的请求。例如,语音输入可以包括“设置提醒为下周二下午2点与John会面”。作为响应,数字助理800可以在用户的日历中生成提醒并通过输出语音响应来确认该请求,诸如“设置下周二下午2点与John会面的提醒”。在一些示例中,在执行所请求的任务期间,数字助理800可以在涉及在延长的时间段内进行多次信息交换的连续对话中与用户830交互。存在许多与数字助理800交互以请求信息或请求执行各种任务的其他方式。除提供语音响应并采取经编程的动作之外,数字助理800还可提供其他视频或音频形式(例如,作为文本、闹钟、音乐、视频、动画等)的响应。
如图8A所示,在一些示例中,响应于从用户830接收语音输入,低声语音确定模块820可以确定语音输入是否包括低声语音输入。在某些情况下,用户830可以对数字助理800低声。例如,用户830可以参加与会议室中的其他会议参与者的会议,或者在安静的图书馆中学习。在此类情况下,用户830可以向数字助理800低声以避免干扰其他人和/或保护用户的隐私。
低声语音确定模块820可以基于低声语音输入与非低声语音输入之间的一个或多个差异来确定语音输入是否包括低声语音输入。低声语音输入可以与各个方面的非低声语音输入不同。例如,为了生成非低声语音输入,用户830的声带振动并产生周期性激励信号。周期性激励信号导致非低声发声(例如,常规声音中的发声)。为了生成低声语音输入,用户830通过内收声带产生激励信号,使得通过声门的空气变得紊乱,但不足以开始振动。该激励信号可能导致低声发声。
由于与非低声语音输入和低声语音输入相关联的不同激励信号,非低声语音输入和低声语音输入可以具有不同的频谱。图8B示出了根据各种示例的非低声语音输入的示例性频谱832。图8C示出了根据各种示例的低声语音输入的示例性频谱834。在频谱832和频谱834中,水平轴线表示频率,垂直轴线表示振幅。在一些示例中,低声语音输入可以具有与非低声语音输入的对应频谱特征不同的一个或多个频谱特征。例如,非低声语音输入的频谱832可以具有小于低声语音输入的频谱834的对应振幅的振幅,该低声语音输入的频谱的振幅低于预先确定频率(例如,800Hz)非低声语音输入的频谱832也可以具有小于低声语音输入的频谱834的对应能量的能量,该低声语音输入的频谱的能量低于预先确定频率(例如,800Hz)在一些示例中,非低声语音输入的频谱832可以具有小于低声语音输入的对应频谱834音量的音量。并且非低声语音输入的频谱832可以具有相对于低声语音输入的频谱834的斜率偏移阈值斜率百分比的斜率或倾斜。例如,如图8B和图8C所示,在预先确定的频率范围内(例如,低于800Hz),非低声语音输入的频谱832的斜率的绝对值可以大于通过阈值斜率百分比输入的低声语音的频谱834的斜率的绝对值。
如图8A所描述和所示,响应于从用户830接收语音输入,低声语音确定模块820可以确定语音输入是否包括低声语音输入。在一些示例中,低声语音确定模块820可以基于一个或多个频谱特征进行此类确定,诸如振幅、能量、音量、斜率或其组合。例如,低声语音确定模块820可以获取语音输入的频谱,并确定一个或多个频谱特征,诸如振幅、能量、音量和斜率。低声语音确定模块820可以进一步确定与语音输入的频谱相关联的振幅、能量、音量和斜率中的一个或多个是否满足对应的阈值条件。例如,如果语音输入的频谱的振幅小于低于预先确定频率(例如,800Hz)的阈值振幅,则低声语音确定模块820可以确定语音输入包括低声语音输入。作为另一示例,低声语音确定模块820还可以在预先确定频率范围(例如,低于800Hz)中获取语音输入的频谱的振幅和斜率。如果振幅和斜率都满足对应的阈值条件(例如,振幅小于阈值振幅并且斜率的绝对值小于阈值斜率),则低声语音确定模块820可以确定语音输入包括低声语音输入。在一些实施方案中,使用多于一个频谱特征可以提高确定语音输入是否包括低声语音输入的准确度。
在一些实施方案中,低声语音确定模块820可以使用语音输入的一个或多个特征来确定语音输入是否包括低声语音输入。语音输入的特征可以表示与语音输入的频谱相关联的一个或多个频谱特征。例如,特征可以包括梅尔频率倒谱系数(MFCC)。多个MFCC可以表示梅尔频率倒谱(MFC)。MFC可以表示语音输入的短期功率频谱。
在一些示例中,低声语音确定模块820可以使用与语音输入的频谱相关联的两个特征来确定语音输入是否包括低声语音输入。例如,低声语音确定模块820可以获取语音输入的频谱,并确定一个或多个频谱特征(例如,振幅、能量、音量和斜率)。基于一个或多个频谱特征,低声语音确定模块820可以确定第一特征和第二特征。例如,第一特征可以包括表示与语音输入的频谱相关联的能量或振幅的第一MFCC(例如,MFCC0)。第二特征可以包括表示与语音输入的频谱相关联的斜率或倾斜的第二MFCC(例如,MFCC1)。在一些示例中,低声语音确定模块820可以获取基于第一特征到第二特征的低声分数。在一些示例中,可以使用与语音输入的每个帧相关联的MFCC0和MFCC1来确定低声分数。例如,如下面的公式(1)所示,可以使用MFCC0值作为权重将低声分数确定为MFCC1值的加权平均值。
低声分数=(C0t*C1t)帧的总和/(C0t)帧的总和 (1)
在上面的公式(1)中,t表示语音输入中的帧的索引,C0t表示帧t处的MFCC0,C1t表示帧t处的MFCC1。低声分数提供了频谱倾斜的度量,其对于语音输入的较高振幅部分而言更加重要。语音输入的较高振幅部分可能对应于人类语音而不是背景噪声。在一些示例中,如果低声分数满足分数阈值,则低声语音确定模块820可以确定语音输入包括低声语音输入。在一些示例中,低声分数越低,则语音输入包括低声语音输入的可能性越大;并且低声分数越高,则语音输入包括非低声语音输入的可能性越大。例如,低声语音确定模块820可以基于MFCC0到MFCC1获取低声分数。如果MFCC0至MFCC1的低声分数小于预先确定分数阈值,则低声语音确定模块820可以确定语音输入包括低声语音输入。
在一些实施方案中,可以调节第一特征与第二特征(或第二特征与第一特征)的比率。例如,可以根据用户讲话的方式来调节比率。用户讲话的方式可能因人而异,甚至可能因同一用户而异。例如,用户可以自然地用比其他用户更柔和的声音或更低的能量语音。用户可能有语音障碍,阻止他或她大声语音。结果,用户可能听起来好像他或她正在低声,即使他或她不是(例如,用户的非低声语音的频谱可能具有较小的振幅、音量或能量)。也可能发生相反的情况。例如,用户可以自然地大声语音,并且他或她可能听起来好像他或她正在以正常的声音语音,即使他或她正在低声(例如,用户的低声语音的频谱可以具有更大的振幅、音量或能量)。因此,在一些示例中,可以根据用户讲话的方式来调节第一特征与第二特征(例如,MFCC0/MFCC1)的比率。该调节可以提高确定语音输入是否包括低声语音输入的准确度。在一些示例中,可以使用例如机器学习技术自动且动态地执行调整。
在一些实施方案中,低声语音确定模块820可以确定语音输入是否包括使用远场声学模型的低声语音输入。远场声学模型使得当用户在距离数字助理800的延伸距离(例如,超过阈值距离的距离)语音时能够检测语音。在一些示例中,每当远离用户的距离加倍时,用户在远场中的语音输入可以以预先确定速率(例如,6dB)衰减。当数字助理800在远场时,用户的语音可能看起来是软的,并且数字助理800接收的语音输入的频谱可能具有低音量、振幅和/或能量。另外,在远场中,数字助理800接收的语音输入可以包括回声。在一些示例中,低声语音输入可以具有与数字助理800从远场用户语音接收的语音输入类似的特征(例如,较低的音量、能量和/或振幅)。因此,在一些示例中,使用远场声学模型可以增加低声语音输入检测的准确度。在一些实施方案中,低声语音确定模块820可以在确定语音输入包括低声语音输入之后或当其确定语音输入包括低声语音输入时切换到远场声学模型。通过切换到远场声学模型,低声语音确定模块820可以提高识别后续用户语音输入的准确度。
如上所述,低声语音确定模块820可以使用语音输入的一个或多个特征来确定语音输入是否包括低声语音输入。应当理解,低声语音确定模块820可以使用任何期望的分类方法和/或频谱估计方法来确定语音输入是否包括低声语音输入。例如,神经网络分类器可用于确定语音输入是否包括低声语音输入。在一些示例中,应当理解,这些特征可以包括在语音合成中使用的梅尔倒谱系数。
如图8A所示,在一些实施方案中,低声语音确定模块820可以基于上下文数据确定是否预期低声语音响应。如所描述的,上下文数据(也称为语境信息)可以包括与用户输入相关的用户特定数据、词汇和/或偏好。例如,上下文数据可以包括用户的日历、当前时间、用户的位置数据和/或用户对数字助理800的操作的偏好。例如,用户的当前位置数据可以指示用户当前在物理上位于图书馆内。在一些示例中,上下文数据还包括在接收到用户请求时的用户设备的软件状态和硬件状态,和/或在接收到用户请求时与用户的周围环境相关的信息。
在一些实施方案中,低声语音确定模块820可以从例如用户设备(例如,用户的智能电话)和/或通信地连接到用户设备(例如,用户的膝上型计算机)的一个或多个设备获得上下文数据。在获取上下文数据之后,低声语音确定模块820可以确定上下文数据是否满足用于提供低声语音响应的一个或多个条件。例如,如果用户的位置数据指示用户位于图书馆中超过阈值时间段(例如,10分钟),则低声语音确定模块820可以确定低声语音响应是预期的。作为另一示例,如果用户的日历数据指示用户当前正在参加与其他会议参与者的会议,则低声语音确定模块820可以确定低声语音响应是预期的。
在一些示例中,低声语音确定模块820可以仅基于语音输入、仅基于上下文数据或基于这两者来确定是否将提供低声语音响应。如上所述,如果低声语音确定模块820确定语音输入包括低声语音输入,则数字助理800可以确定将提供低声语音响应。在一些示例中,如果低声语音确定模块820确定上下文数据指示预期低声语音响应,则数字助理800可以确定将提供低声语音响应,而不管语音输入是否包括低声语音输入例如,如图8A所示,用户830可以提供非低声语音输入(例如,以常规的大声语音),诸如“呼叫John Doe”。语音语音确定模块820确定上下文数据指示预期低声语音响应(例如,用户830当前位于图书馆中)。结果,数字助理800可以将呼叫发送给John Doe,并确定将提供低声语音响应(例如,“OK,呼叫John Doe”)。
在一些实施方案中,如果低声语音确定模块820确定语音输入包括低声语音输入并且/或者上下文数据指示低声语音响应是预期的,则其可以确定将提供低声语音响应。如上所述,语音输入可以包括信息请求、执行任务的请求或其组合。如果语音输入包括信息请求,则可以提供低声语音响应以回答信息请求。例如,用户830可能会低声说:“巴黎现在几点了?”作为响应,数字助理800可以生成并提供低声语音响应,诸如“巴黎当前时间是下午2点”。如果语音输入包括执行任务的请求,则除了执行任务之外还可以提供低声语音响应。例如,用户830可以低声:“设置提醒为在星期二下午2点与John会面”。作为响应,数字助理800可以在用户830的日历中创建提醒,并生成和提供低声语音响应,例如“OK,提醒已设置”。下面更详细地描述生成和提供低声语音响应。
如图8A中所示,在一些实施方案中,低声语音确定模块820可以确定是否禁用提供低声语音响应。例如,用户830可能不希望在任何情况下接收低声语音响应,因此可能禁用数字助理800的低声语音响应能力。在一些示例中,根据确定禁用提供低声语音响应,数字助理800可以生成非低声语音响应(例如,常规音量或声音中的语音响应),并向用户830提供非低声语音响应。在其他示例中,可以在某些情况下选择性地禁用或启用低声语音确定模块820;例如,用户可能期望始终在特定位置或时间段内提供低声语音响应。
如图8A所示,数字助理800可以生成低声语音响应。在一些实施方案中,数字助理800可以基于语音输入生成中间语音,并使用中间语音生成低声语音响应。例如,数字助理800可以包括语音合成模块840。如所描述的,语音合成模块840可以以与图7B中所示的语音合成模块740类似的方式实施。除语音合成模块840之外,数字助理800还可包括一个或多个模块(未示出),诸如STT处理模块、自然语言处理模块、对话流程处理模块、任务流程处理模块和服务处理模块。数字助理800也可以包括以与数字助理模块726中包括的方式类似的方式实施的数据和模型。结果,数字助理800可以基于语音输入生成文本,执行文本的自然语言处理,基于自然语言处理的结果识别用户意图,并根据用户意图生成中间语音。例如,数字助理800可以执行以下中的至少一些:将语音输入转换为文本;识别在从用户接收的自然语言输入中表达的用户意图;主动引出并获得完全推断用户意图所需的信息(例如,通过消除字词、姓名、意图的歧义等);确定用于满足推断出的意图的任务流;执行该任务流以满足推断出的意图;以及生成响应以满足用户的意图。可以将所生成的响应发送到语音合成模块840(例如,语音合成器),其中可以对其进行处理以生成中间语音。
在一些实施方案中,数字助理800也可以包括低声转换模块810。低声转换模块810可以使用由语音合成模块840提供的中间语音来生成低声语音响应。在一些示例中,低声语音响应可以具有与低声语音响应基本相同的内容。例如,低声语音响应和中间语音都可以具有相同的语音内容,诸如“现在巴黎的时间是下午2点”。与低声语音响应不同,中间语音可以是非低声语音,并且如上所述,可以与各个方面中的低声语音响应(例如,不同的频谱特征)不同。
如图8A所示,在一些实施方案中,低声转换模块810可以根据将提供低声语音响应的确定来生成低声语音响应。例如,在确定将提供低声语音响应时,低声语音确定模块可以将信号822发送到低声转换模块810。在接收到信号822时,低声转换模块810可以使用中间语音生成低声语音响应。
图8D示出了根据各种示例的低声转换模块810的功能的框图。在一些实施方案中,低声转换模块810可以包括线性预测分析模块812、频谱修改模块814和线性预测合成模块816。
如图8D所示,线性预测分析模块812可以接收中间语音并基于中间语音的线性预测分析生成残余信号。在一些实施方案中,语音的线性预测分析可以估计语音的一个或多个共振峰,从语音中消除共振峰的影响,并估计剩余信号的振幅和频率。剩余信号也可以称为残余信号。共振峰可以表示与语音频谱相关联的共振或频谱最大值。
在一些示例中,为了生成残余信号,线性预测分析模块812可以使用中间语音获取多个语音帧。例如,线性预测分析模块812可以执行中间语音的成帧,使得中间语音被分成多个语音帧。每个帧可以具有对应的帧长度(例如,20ms)。如所描述的,中间语音可以表示对信息请求或执行任务的请求的响应。中间语音可以包括具有变化振幅的语音信号。作为成帧的结果,在每个帧内,中间语音可以被视为静止的。
如图8D所示,在获取多个帧时,线性预测分析模块812可以执行语音帧的线性预测分析。在一些示例中,线性预测分析可以包括语音帧的预强调。在处理语音信号时,预强调是指例如在频率范围内增加某些频率的信号量值相对于其他频率的信号量值的过程。预强调可以通过减少后续信号处理步骤中衰减、失真或饱和等现象的不利影响来改善整体信噪比。例如,为了减少对信噪比的不利影响,线性预测分析模块812可以相对于语音帧的其他频率(例如,较低频率)的信号量值来增加一些频率(例如,较高频率)的信号量值。
在一些实施方案中,语音帧的线性预测分析可以包括估计多个线性预测系数(LPC)。在一些示例中,可以基于语音帧的频谱包络信息来获取LPC。结果,LPC可以指示语音频谱中的共振峰(例如,共振或频谱最大值)并且允许去除共振峰的效果。LPC可以用线谱频率(LSF)、反射系数(RC)、自相关(AC)、对数面积比(LAR)、反射系数的反正弦(ASRC)、LP合成滤波器的脉冲响应(IR)等来表示。如下面更详细描述的,可以更容易地修改LPC(例如,LSF)的一些表示。经修改的LSF可以转换为经修改的LPC,并用于线性预测合成。
在一些实施方案中,估计LPC可以包括对预强调的语音帧执行开窗口。窗口函数可以在预先确定频率间隔之外具有零振幅或减小的振幅。例如,在频率间隔内具有恒定振幅并且在频率间隔之外具有零振幅的窗口函数是矩形窗口。窗口函数可以包括,例如,矩形窗口、三角窗口、Welch窗口、Parzen窗口、Bartlett窗口、Blackman窗口、Dolph-Chebyshev窗口、Hamming窗口、Hanning(Hann)窗口、Kaiser窗口或其组合。应当理解,在估计LPC时,可以使用任何其他窗口函数,并且窗口函数不限于上面提供的示例。
如图8D所示,在估计LPC之后,在一些实施方案中,线性预测分析包括对预强调的语音帧进行逆滤波以获取残余信号。在一些示例中,基于LPC执行逆滤波。如上所述,LPC可以表示语音帧的频谱包络,并指示语音帧中的共振峰。结果,逆滤波可以基于LPC去除语音帧中的期望共振峰。去除共振峰之后,剩余信号是残余信号。在一些实施方案中,可以进一步处理残余信号,例如,修改和合成残余信号以生成低声语音响应,如下面更详细描述的。
如图8D所示,低声转换模块810可以包括频谱修改模块814。频谱修改模块814可以修改残余信号以生成经修改的残余信号。在一些实施方案中,频谱修改模块814可以接收白噪音序列,并且残余信号估计白噪音序列的能量和残余信号的能量,将白噪音序列的能量与残余信号的能量进行关联,并补偿相关的白噪音序列。
如图8D所示,在一些示例中,频谱修改模块814可以接收白噪音序列。白噪音序列可以由例如白噪音发生器提供。白噪音序列表示白噪音信号,并且可以具有多个帧。白噪音信号是具有恒定功率频谱密度的随机信号。白噪音序列可以包括具有零均值和有限方差的串联不相关的随机变量序列。在一些示例中,频谱修改模块814也可以接收残余信号。如所描述的,残余信号可以由线性预测分析模块812生成。
响应于接收白噪音序列和残余信号,频谱修改模块814可以估计白噪音序列的能量和残余信号的能量。在一些实施方案中,残余信号包括多个帧,并且白噪音序列也包括多个帧。频谱修改模块814可以估计残余帧的能量和白噪音帧的能量。如图8D所示,基于该估计,频谱修改模块814可以将白噪音序列的能量与残余信号的能量进行关联。例如,多个残余帧的能量可以与对应的白噪音帧的能量匹配。基于该匹配,频谱修改模块814可以生成相关的白噪音序列。
在一些实施方案中,频谱修改模块814可以将相关的白噪音序列作为经修改的残余信号提供给线性预测合成模块816以用于语音合成。在一些实施方案中,频谱修改模块814可以在将其提供用于合成之前任选地补偿相关的白噪音序列,使得合成的语音响应更接近于低声语音响应。在一些示例中,补偿相关白噪音序列可以包括微分、高通滤波器、带通滤波或其组合。例如,相关白噪音序列在低频(例如,小于800Hz)处可具有比低声语音响应更高的振幅。因此,可以将差分和高通滤波中的一个或两个施加于相关的白噪音序列,以在低频处补偿该量值差。作为另一示例,相关白噪音序列可以在某个中频范围内具有不同的量值,并且可以施加带通滤波来补偿此类量值差。在执行补偿之后,频谱修改模块814可以将经修改的残余信号提供给线性预测合成模块816。经修改的残余信号可以包括例如补偿和相关的白噪音序列。
如图8D所示,线性预测合成模块816可以基于经修改的残余信号的线性预测合成来获取低声语音响应。线性预测合成可以包括重新组合多个帧(例如,经修改的残余帧)以生成相干语音信号的过程。在一些实施方案中,执行线性预测合成包括使用合成滤波器和经修改的LPC生成多个低声帧;以及使用低声帧生成低声语音响应。
在一些示例中,生成低声帧可以包括利用合成滤波器处理经修改的残余帧。线性预测合成模块816可以生成合成滤波器。例如,线性预测合成模块816可以获取LPC并修改LPC以生成合成滤波器。使用经修改的LPC生成的合成滤波器可以促进生成更接近类似于低声语音响应的语音信号。
在一些实施方案中,线性预测合成模块816可以获取LPC。例如,LPC可以由线性预测分析模块812提供。响应于接收LPC,线性预测合成模块816可以修改LPC。如上所述,LPC可以由LSF、RC、AC、LAR、ASRC、IR等表示。作为示例,线性预测合成模块816可以将LPC转换为LSF。并且LSF比LPC更容易修改。在一些实施方案中,为了更接近于低声语音响应的频谱中的共振峰,线性预测合成模块816可以修改LSF,使得在合成语音信号中,低频范围(例如,小于3-4kHz)中的多个共振峰被移位到更高频率范围;许多共振峰(除了第一共振峰之外)的形状都是尖锐的;并且/或者第一共振峰的形状较不尖锐。在线性预测合成模块816修改LSF之后,它可以将经修改的LSF转换为经修改的LPC,并提供经修改的LPC以生成合成滤波器。
在一些实施方案中,线性预测合成模块816可以生成多个低声帧。例如,经修改的LPC可用于生成合成滤波器。合成滤波器可以是例如与经修改的残余帧的上采样相关联的内插滤波器,这些经修改额参与帧与经修改的残余信号相关联。合成滤波器可以处理经修改的残余帧以生成低声帧。
在一些实施方案中,在生成低声帧时,线性预测合成模块816可以使用低声帧生成低声语音响应。例如,线性预测合成模块816可以执行解帧以将多个低声帧组合成相干语音信号。在一些示例中,解帧可以包括执行开窗口。如上所述,在用于生成残余信号的线性预测分析期间,在一些示例中,线性预测分析模块812对预强调的语音帧执行加窗口。在线性预测分析期间,该窗口的性能可以通过解帧的性能来逆转。例如,在解帧期间,低声帧可以乘以与早期线性预测分析中使用的窗口相反的窗口。
在一些示例中,在生成低声语音响应时,线性预测合成模块816也可以执行重叠相加。重叠相加使得能够进行更有效的合成处理,使得可以在没有额外延迟的情况下生成低声语音响应(例如,由非常长的序列或信号与合成滤波器的卷积引起的延迟)。在一些示例中,重叠相加的性能是任选的。
