Abstract

The present disclosure provides an intelligent voice reminder system, a server and a method thereof. The intelligent voice reminder system includes a terminal device, a player and a server. The server is connected with the player and the terminal device. The server includes a storage, a processor, a transceiver and a communication bus. The storage is configured to store data from the terminal device. The transceiver is configured to receive a voice input and output the voice input to the processor. The processor is configured to obtain a calendar reminder event or a phonebook from the storage based on the received voice input. The transceiver outputs the calendar reminder event or a phonebook to the player for playing.

Claims

1. An intelligent voice reminder system, comprising:

a terminal device configured to transmit data stored in the terminal device;

a player configured to play audio data; and

a server connected to the player, and connected to the terminal device via a network, wherein the server comprises;

a storage, a processor, a transceiver, and a communication bus, wherein each of the storage, the processor and the transceiver is connected to the communication bus, wherein;

the transceiver is configured to receive the data from the terminal device;

the storage is configured to store the data from the terminal device;

the transceiver is further configured to receive a voice input and transmit the voice input to the processor;

the processor is configured to obtain the data from the storage based on the received voice input;

the transceiver is configured to output the data to the player; and

the player is configured to play audio data associated with the data;

wherein the data comprises a calendar reminder event and a phonebook;

the processor is configured to generate a control signal and output the control signal to the transceiver, when the processor receives the calendar reminder event from the storage;

the transceiver is configured to detect whether the terminal device is connected to the sever via a network; and

in response to the detection of the terminal device connected to the server via the network, the transceiver is configured to output a detection signal to the processor;

the processor is configured to generate a reminder signal based on the detection signal; and

the transceiver is configured to transmit the reminder signal to the terminal device;

the processor is further configured to determine whether an acknowledgment is received from the terminal device;

the transceiver is configured to stop outputting a reminder signal to the terminal device, when the acknowledgment is determined to be received from the terminal device; and

the transceiver is further configured to periodically output the reminder signal to the terminal device, when the acknowledgment is determined not to be received from the terminal device.

2. The intelligent voice reminder system according to claim 1, wherein the terminal device is a mobile phone and the player is a speaker.

7. The intelligent voice reminder system according to claim 1, wherein the storage comprises a storage module configured to storage the data in the terminal device, a voice input module configured to receive and output audio data, a voice recognition module configured to connect the vice input module with the player, a reminder module connected to the terminal device, a configuration module configured to configure a name of the server and an activation of the reminder module, and a detection module connected to the voice recognition module, the reminder module and the terminal module.

8. The intelligent voice reminder system according to claim 7, wherein the voice recognition module is configured to receive audio data from the voice input module, and obtain the calendar reminder event or the phonebook from the storage module based on the received audio data, and play audio data associated with the calendar reminder event or the phonebook via the player.

9. The intelligent voice reminder system according to claim 8, Wherein the voice recognition module is configured to output a control signal to the detection module, when the voice recognition module obtains the calendar reminder event from the storage module;

so that the detection module detects whether the terminal device is connected to the server via a network connection and may output a detection signal to the reminder module when the terminal device is connected to the server.

10. The intelligent voice reminder system according to claim 9, wherein the reminder module is configured to output a reminder signal to the terminal device to remind the calendar reminder event for occurring, based on a received detection signal.

3. A server connected to a player and connected to a terminal device via a network, comprising a storage, a processor, a transceiver, and a communication bus, wherein,

each of the storage, the processor and the transceiver is connected to the communication bus;

wherein;

the transceiver is configured to receive data from the terminal device;

the storage is configured to store the data from the terminal device, the data comprising a calendar event and a phonebook;

the transceiver is further configured to receive a voice input and transmit the voice input to the processor;

the processor is configured to obtain a calendar reminder event or a phonebook from the storage based on the received voice input; and

the transceiver is configured to output the calendar reminder event or phonebook to the player for playing;

the processor is configured to generate a control signal and output the control signal to the transceiver, when the processor receives a calendar reminder event from the storage;

the transceiver is configured to detect whether the terminal device is connected to the sever via a network; and

in response to the detection of the terminal device connected to the server via the network, the transceiver is configured to output a detection signal to the processor;

the processor is configured to generate a reminder signal based on the detection signal; and

the transceiver is configured to transmit the reminder signal to the terminal device;

the processor is configured to determine whether an acknowledgment is received from the terminal device;

the transceiver is configured to stop outputting a reminder signal to the terminal device, when the acknowledgment is determined to be received from the terminal device; and

the transceiver is configured to periodically output the reminder signal to the terminal device, when the acknowledgment is determined not to be received from the terminal device.

4. The server according to claim 3, wherein the terminal device is a mobile phone and the player is a speaker.

5. An intelligent voice reminder method comprising:

receiving, by a server, data from a terminal device;

storing, by the server, the data from the terminal device, the data comprising a calendar reminder event and a phonebook;

receiving, by the server, a voice input;

obtaining, by the server, the calendar reminder event or the phonebook from the storage based on the received voice input;

outputting, by the server, the calendar reminder event or the phonebook to the player for playing;

generating, by the server, a control signal, when the server receives the calendar reminder event from the data;

detecting, by the server, whether the terminal device is connected to the sever via a network based on the control signal; and

in response to the detection of the terminal device connected to the server via the network, generating, by the server, a detection signal;

generating, by the server, a reminder signal based on the detection signal; and

transmitting, by the server, the reminder signal to the terminal device to remind the calendar reminder event for occurring;
