Method and apparatus for executing voice command in electronic device
An apparatus and method for executing a voice command in an electronic device. In an exemplary embodiment, a voice signal is detected and speech thereof is recognized. When the recognized speech contains a wakeup command, a voice command mode is activated, and a signal containing at least a portion of the detected voice signal is transmitted to a server. The server generates a control signal or a result signal corresponding to the voice command, and transmits the same to the electronic device. The device receives and processes the control or result signal, and awakens. Thereby, voice commands are executed without the need for the user to physically touch the electronic device.
1. A method for a portable electronic device, comprising:
receiving a voice signal Including a wakeup command and a voice command subsequent to the wakeup command from a user, where there is a duration of silence between the wakeup command and the voice command;
recognizing the wakeup command while a touch screen of the electronic device is locked;
in response to recognizing the wakeup command unlocking the touch screen;
transmitting a signal Including the voice command of the voice signal to a server for conducting speech recognition on the voice command and obtaining a recognized voice command at the server;
receiving a control signal corresponding to the recognized voice command from the server; and
performing an operation in response to the control signal.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing the operation comprises executing a particular application of the electronic device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing the operation comprises displaying data related to the voice command.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein unlocking the touch screen further comprises displaying a graphical user Interface (GUI) related to the voice command.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein recognizing the wakeup command further comprises recognizing a predetermined speaker of the voice signal.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein unlocking the touch screen further comprises unlocking the touch screen in response to recognizing the predetermined speaker of the voice signal.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein unlocking the touch screen further comprises unlocking the touch screen in response to recognizing the wakeup command and the predetermined speaker of the voice signal.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the voice signal is input through a microphone of the electronic device in an idle mode, and when the wakeup command is detected in the idle mode, a voice command mode is activated.
9. A portable electronic terminal comprising:
one or more processors;
memory storing one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors,
wherein the one or more programs comprises Instructions for:
receiving a voice signal including a wakeup command and a voice command subsequent to the wakeup command from a user, where there is a duration of silence between the wakeup command and the voice command;
recognizing the wakeup command while a touch screen of the portable electronic terminal is locked;
in response to recognizing the wakeup command unlocking the touch screen;
transmitting a signal including the voice command of the voice signal to a server for conducting speech recognition on the voice command and obtaining a recognized voice command at the server;
receiving a control signal corresponding to the recognized voice command from the server; and
performing an operation in response to the control signal.
10. The portable electronic terminal of claim 9 , wherein performing the operation comprises executing a particular application of the portable electronic terminal.
11. The portable electronic terminal of claim 9 , wherein performing the operation comprises displaying data related to the voice command.
12. The portable electronic terminal of claim 9 , further comprising, wherein unlocking the touch screen further comprises displaying a graphical user Interface (GUI) related to the voice command.
13. The portable electronic terminal of claim 9 , wherein recognizing the wakeup command further comprises recognizing a predetermined speaker of the voice signal.
14. The portable electronic terminal of claim 13 , wherein unlocking the touch screen further comprises unlocking the touch screen in response to recognizing the predetermined speaker of the voice signal.
15. The portable electronic terminal of claim 14 , wherein unlocking the touch screen further comprises unlocking the touch screen in response to recognizing the wakeup command and the predetermined speaker of the voice signal.
16. The portable electronic terminal of claim 15 , wherein the voice signal is input through a microphone of the portable electronic terminal in an idle mode, and when the wakeup command is detected in the idle mode, a voice command mode is activated.
