ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17424412 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic apparatus that includes a microphone, memory, and processor. The apparatus is capable of recognizing a specific word to activate a voice recognition function. Here are the key points:
- The electronic apparatus has a microphone, memory, and processor.
- The memory stores a specific word or phrase called the "wakeup word."
- The processor uses context information to identify a predetermined event.
- When the predetermined event occurs, the processor adjusts the threshold value for recognizing the wakeup word.
- The processor receives a user's voice input through the microphone.
- The processor compares the user's voice input to the stored wakeup word and calculates a similarity value.
- If the similarity value is equal to or greater than the adjusted threshold value, the processor performs a voice recognition function on the user's subsequent voice input.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Smart speakers or voice assistants that can be activated by a specific word or phrase.
- Voice-controlled devices that can adapt their recognition thresholds based on context.
- Hands-free systems in cars or other vehicles that can respond to voice commands.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The technology allows for more accurate and reliable voice recognition by adjusting the recognition threshold based on context.
- It eliminates the need for users to manually activate voice recognition functions, making the interaction more seamless and convenient.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience by providing a more natural and intuitive way of interacting with electronic devices.
- Increased accuracy in voice recognition by adjusting the threshold value based on context.
- Enables hands-free operation of devices, making them more accessible and convenient to use.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic apparatus is disclosed. The electronic apparatus may include a microphone; a memory configured to store a wakeup word; and a processor configured to: identify, based on context information of the electronic apparatus, an occurrence of a pre-determined event; change, based on the occurrence of the pre-determined event, a first threshold value for recognizing the wakeup word; obtain, based on a first user voice input received via the microphone, a similarity value between first text information corresponding to the first user voice input and the wakeup word; and perform, based on the similarity value being greater than or equal to the first threshold value, a voice recognition function on second text information corresponding to a second user voice input received via the microphone after the first user voice input.
