Abstract

An equipment and a method for configuring a service on an equipment. A method includes receiving a first voice input from a user to configure an equipment with a service. The equipment is configured with a voice-bot to interact with the user. The method also includes validating the first voice input, initiating configuration of the service and outputting a first voice response based on the validation of the first voice input. The method includes receiving a second voice input from the user in response to the first voice response and validating the second voice input. The method includes outputting a second voice response based on the validation of the second voice input and configuring the service on the equipment based on the voice inputs from the user.

Claims (56)

1. An equipment configured with a voice-bot to interact with a user, the equipment comprising:

a receiver adapted to receive a first voice input from the user to configure the equipment with a service;

a validation unit adapted to validate the first voice input received from the user and initiate configuration of the service based on the validation of the first voice input;

an output unit adapted to output a first voice response based on the validation of the first voice input for configuration of the service;

the receiver adapted to receive a second voice input from the user in response to the first voice response;

the validation unit adapted to validate the second voice input received from the user;

the output unit adapted to output a second voice response by the equipment based on the validation of the second voice input; and

a configuration unit adapted to configure the service on the equipment based on the voice inputs from the user;

wherein the user provides the second voice input to configure a first parameter of the service, wherein the first parameter is related to an internet-protocol (IP) setting

further comprising:

the receiver adapted to receive a third voice input from the user in response to the second voice response for configuration of the service;

the validation unit adapted to validate the third voice input received from the user;

the output unit adapted to output a third voice response by the equipment based on the validation of the third voice input;

the receiver adapted to receive a fourth voice input from the user in response to the third voice response;

the validation unit adapted to validate the fourth voice input received from the user;

the output unit adapted to output a fourth voice response by the equipment based on the validation of the fourth voice input;

the receiver adapted to receive a fifth voice input from the user in response to the fourth voice response;

the validation unit adapted to validate the fifth voice input received from the user;

the output unit adapted to output a fifth voice response based on the validation of the fifth voice input; and

the configuration unit adapted to configure the service on the equipment based on the third voice input, the fourth voice input and the fifth voice input.

2. The equipment of claim 1 , wherein the user provides the third voice input to configure a second parameter of the service, the fourth voice input to configure a third parameter of the service and/or the fifth voice input to configure a fourth parameter of the service.

3. The equipment of claim 2 , wherein the second parameter is related to a channel setting, the third parameter is related to a reporting setting and/or the fourth parameter is related to a test connection setting of the service.

4. The equipment of claim 1 , wherein the first voice response, the second voice response, the third voice response, the fourth voice response and/or the fifth voice response are pre-defined voice labels configured in the equipment.

5. The equipment of claim 1 , wherein the service configured on the equipment corresponds to a communication service.

6. The equipment of claim 1 , wherein the user provides the first voice input, the second voice input, third voice input, the fourth voice input and/or the fifth voice input to an application stored in a user device, wherein the user device transmits the first voice input, the second voice input, third voice input, the fourth voice input and/or the fifth voice response to the equipment through a network.

7. The equipment of claim 1 , wherein the equipment provides a notification to the user or a vendor, an owner or a manufacturer regarding a status of configuring the equipment with the service.

8. The equipment of claim 1 , wherein the equipment authenticates the user before configuring the equipment with the service.

9. The equipment of claim 1 , wherein each of the voice response output by the equipment corresponds to a confirmation for configuring the service, a confirmation for configuring a parameter of the service, a message for invalid voice input, or a clarification for a voice input provided by the user.

10. The equipment of claim 1 , wherein the voice-bot in the equipment is trained with pre-defined classifiers to determine a service and/or a parameter for configuration based on a voice input provided by the user.

11. The equipment of claim 1 , wherein the voice-bot in the equipment is configured to output each of the voice responses by determining a pattern based on each of the voice inputs provided by the user.

12. The equipment of claim 1 , wherein each of the voice input-voice response corresponds to a hierarchical voice input—voice response for configuring the service.

13. The equipment of claim 1 , wherein the equipment receives “n” number of voice inputs from the user and outputs “n” number of voice responses to configure the service.

14. A method comprising:

receiving a first voice input from a user to configure an equipment with a service, the equipment configured with a voice-bot to interact with the user;

validating the first voice input received from the user and initiating configuration of the service based on the validation of the first voice input;

outputting a first voice response based on the validation of the first voice input for configuration of the service;

receiving a second voice input from the user in response to the first voice response;

validating the second voice input received from the user;

outputting a second voice response by the equipment based on the validation of the second voice input; and

configuring the service on the equipment based on the voice inputs from the user;

wherein the user provides the second voice input to configure a first parameter of the service, wherein the first parameter is related to an internet-protocol (IP) setting;

further comprising:

receiving a third voice input from the user in response to the second voice response for configuration of the service;

validating the third voice input received from the user;

outputting a third voice response by the equipment based on the validation of the third voice input;

receiving a fourth voice input from the user in response to the third voice response;

validating the fourth voice input received from the user;

outputting a fourth voice response by the equipment based on the validation of the fourth voice input;

receiving a fifth voice input from the user in response to the fourth voice response;

validating the fifth voice input received from the user;

outputting a fifth voice response based on the validation of the fifth voice input; and

configuring the service on the equipment based on the third voice input, the fourth voice input and the fifth voice input.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the user provides the third voice input to configure a second parameter of the service, the fourth voice input to configure a third parameter of the service and/or the fifth voice input to configure a fourth parameter of the service.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the second parameter is related to a channel setting, the third parameter is related to a reporting setting and/or the fourth parameter is related to a test connection setting of the service.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein each of the voice input-voice response corresponds to a hierarchical voice input-voice response for configuring the service.

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a memory storing instructions executed by one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to perform the method claim 14 .
