Abstract

An electronic device with a function of smart voice service is disclosed. The electronic device is capable of identifying a user who is using the function of smart voice service and of adjusting the frequency of output sound to answer according to the hearing state of the user.

Claims (35)

1. An electronic device with a function of smart voice service, comprising:

a speaker;

a memory;

an input device, used for acquiring a recognition feature data of a user, wherein the input device includes a microphone for receiving a voice message made by the user; and

a processing unit, electrically connected to the speaker, the memory and the input device, the processing unit comprising:

a file creation module, used for creating an interactor database and storing the interactor database in the memory, wherein the interactor database includes an identification data and a hearing parameter data of a plurality of interactors;

an identity recognition module, used for analyzing the recognition feature data so as to obtain an identity verification data, and for comparing the identity verification data with the identification data of the plurality of interactors in order to obtain the corresponding hearing parameter data;

an answer message acquisition module, used for acquiring a corresponding original answer voice message appropriate for answering the voice message; and

a sound adjustment module, used for adjusting the original answer voice message according to the hearing parameter data, so as to generate an adjusted answer voice message for the speaker to output the adjusted answer voice message.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is connected to a server system, such that the answer message acquisition module first transmits the voice message to the server system, and then the server system obtains the original answer voice message, wherein the original answer voice message is obtained by the server system according to a result of analyzing the voice message.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the answer message acquisition module analyzes the voice message and obtains the original answer voice message according to an analysis result.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the identification data comprises a facial image data, a fingerprint data or a voiceprint data, and the recognition feature data includes a facial image, a fingerprint or a voice of the user.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hearing parameter data includes a hearable minimum volume data of each of the interactors with respect to sounds at different frequencies, and the hearing parameter data is obtained by the file creation module according to an age data and a gender data of each of the interactors.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the speaker selectively outputs either the original answer voice message or the adjusted answer voice message, or outputs both the original answer voice message and the adjusted answer voice message in turns.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the electronic device is electrically connected to at least one controlled electronic device, and the processing unit further comprises a control module used for controlling function executions of the at least one controlled electronic device according to a control signal, where the control signal is generated according to a result of analyzing the voice message.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the electronic device is electrically connected to at least one controlled electronic device, and the processing unit further comprises a control module used for controlling function executions of the at least one controlled electronic device according to a control signal, where the control signal is generated according to a result of analyzing the voice message.

9. A method of adjusting output sound, applicable for being used in an electronic device with a function of smart voice service, the method comprising the following steps:

creating and storing an interactor database, wherein the interactor database includes an identification data and a hearing parameter data of a plurality of interactors;

acquiring a recognition feature data of a user and a voice message made by the user;

analyzing the recognition feature data so as to obtain an identity verification data, and comparing the identity verification data with the identification data of the plurality of interactors in order to obtain the corresponding hearing parameter data;

acquiring a corresponding original answer voice message appropriate for answering the voice message;

adjusting the original answer voice message according to the hearing parameter data, so as to generate an adjusted answer voice message; and

outputting the adjusted answer voice message or the original answer voice message.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the electronic device is connected to a server system, and the step of acquiring the original answer voice message includes:

sending the voice message to the server system, such that the server system obtains the original answer voice message according to a result of analyzing the voice message; and

receiving the original answer voice message from the server system.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the step of acquiring the original answer voice message includes:

analyzing the voice message, so as to obtain the original answer voice message according to an analysis result.

12. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the identification data comprises a facial image data, a fingerprint data or a voiceprint data; and the recognition feature data includes a facial image, a fingerprint or a voice of the user.

13. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the hearing parameter data includes a hearable minimum volume data of each of the interactors with respect to sounds at different frequencies, and the hearing parameter data is obtained by a file creation module according to an age data and a gender data of each of the interactors.

14. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the step of outputting the adjusted answer voice message or the original answer voice message comprises selectively outputting either the original answer voice message or the adjusted answer voice message, or outputting both the original answer voice message and the adjusted answer voice message in turns.

15. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the electronic device is electrically connected to at least one controlled electronic device, and the method further comprises the following step:

controlling function executions of the at least one controlled electronic device according to a control signal, where the control signal is generated according to a result of analyzing the voice message.

16. The method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the electronic device is electrically connected to at least one controlled electronic device, and the method further comprises the following step:

controlling function executions of the at least one controlled electronic device according to a control signal, where the control signal is generated according to a result of analyzing the voice message.
