Embodiments such that the first and second features may not be in direct contact.

In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "installation", "connected", and "connected" are to be understood broadly, and may be, for example, mechanically or electrically connected, or two, unless otherwise specified and defined. The internal communication of the components may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms may be understood according to specific circumstances.

These and other aspects of the embodiments of the present invention will be apparent from the description and appended claims. In the description and drawings, specific embodiments of the embodiments of the invention are disclosed This limit. Rather, the invention is to cover all modifications, modifications and equivalents within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

A voice control method, apparatus, and air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, the voice control method of the embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the prior art, in the interaction process between the user and the voice control device, the wake-up words need to be spoken multiple times. In order to clearly illustrate the process in the prior art, the following describes an air conditioner as an example. 1 is a schematic diagram of voice interaction between a user and an air conditioner in the prior art. As shown in FIG. 1 , when the first wake-up, the user speaks the wake-up word “air conditioning air conditioner”, thereby causing the device to enter the recognition state and speaking to the user. The voice command performs a "please command" voice or text response, and the user speaks the voice command "cooling mode", so that the device is set to the cooling mode, and after the setting is completed, the response is set to "cooling mode".

When the user needs to continue to control the voice of the device, a second wakeup is also required. In the second wake-up, the user still has to say the wake-up word "air conditioning air conditioner", so that the device enters the recognition state, and the voice command or the text response of the voice command spoken by the user is performed, and the user speaks the voice. The command "26 degrees" causes the device to be set to 26 degrees, and after the setting is completed, the response "set to 26 degrees".

When the user still needs to continue to control the voice of the device, a third wake-up is performed. At the third wake-up, the user still has to say the wake-up word "air conditioning air conditioner", so that the device enters the recognition state and performs a "please command" voice or text response to the voice command spoken by the user, and the user speaks the voice. The command "maximum wind" causes the device to be set to the maximum air volume and responds to "set to maximum air volume" after the setting is completed.
