Referring to fig. 1 again, the sound receiving device 107 converts the received sound waves into audio to be transmitted to the language type determining and speech recognizing device 105, the language type determining and speech recognizing device 105 continuously receives the audio from the sound receiving device 107, and the language type determining module 201 determines whether a trigger word (trigger word) of a specific language appears in the audio (step S302), wherein the trigger word is a preset special word for triggering the voice recognition function, and the trigger word has strong resolvability for the language type determining module 201 to determine its appearance, for example, the trigger word may be english "igo" or chinese "rainbow start", french "allez" or german "geh" or spanish "or japanese" レインボースタート ", in this embodiment, the triggering words of different languages are words with the same meaning, but the disclosure is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the triggering words of different languages may be selected from words with different meanings, for example, although the english triggering word is "go iris", the chinese triggering word may be "voice start" with different meanings, or, among the triggering words of a plurality of different languages, there may be a plurality of triggering words of different languages as words with the same meaning, and the rest of the triggering words of different languages as words with different meanings.
When the language type determination module 201 determines that a triggering word of a specific language appears in the audio, the current speech recognition module 203 is switched to the speech recognition module 203 of the specific language. For example, when a german "gehiris" triggering word appears, the language type determination and speech recognition apparatus 105 determines whether the type of the currently used speech recognition module 203 is the same as the type of the triggering word (step S303), if so, the currently used speech recognition module 203 is not changed (i.e., the german speech recognition module 203-4), and if not, the currently used speech recognition module 203 is switched to the german speech recognition module 203-4 (step S304). Thus, the speech-controlled electrical apparatus 100 of the present disclosure can appropriately switch and select the speech recognition module 203 corresponding to the language type used by the user according to the language type of the trigger word spoken by the user, and activate the selected speech recognition module 203 (i.e., the german speech recognition module 203-4) for speech recognition.
The language type determination module 201 can determine the occurrence of the triggering words of the specific language by capturing, analyzing and comparing the waveform of the audio from the audio receiving device 107, and can be implemented by a hardware circuit and/or a processor executing a software program algorithm.
With the aforementioned switching selection of the voice recognition module 203 (i.e., the german voice recognition module 203-4), the user can control the operation of the voice-controlled electric appliance 100 by speaking a specific voice command, and in detail, the voice recognition module 203 can recognize the specific voice spoken by the user, and the language type discriminating and speech recognizing device 105 outputs a corresponding control command to the control circuit 103 according to the result of the recognition, the control circuit 103 outputs a corresponding control signal to the function device 101 for control, for example, the user speaks a pause "suspenderien" in Germany, the speech recognition module 203-4 recognizes the paused audio and outputs a paused control command to the control circuit 103, the control circuit 103 then outputs a corresponding pause control signal to the functional device 101, such as a sound box, to pause the music playing.
The voice recognition module 203 can recognize the specific voice spoken by the user by capturing, analyzing, and comparing the waveform of the audio from the audio receiving device 107, so as to correspondingly generate a control command, which can be implemented by a hardware circuit and/or a processor executing an algorithm of a software program.
As can be seen from the above description, with the speech-controlled electrical apparatus with language type determination of the present disclosure, after a user speaks a trigger word of a specific language, the speech-controlled electrical apparatus can be controlled by the speech of the specific language, and when the user or another user wants to control the speech-controlled electrical apparatus in another language, the user can switch the speech recognition module of the speech-controlled electrical apparatus from the original specific language to the another language by speaking the trigger word of the another language, which is very convenient for use, and enables people speaking various languages to use the same speech-controlled electrical apparatus, thereby greatly improving the usability of the electrical apparatus.
