Abstract

An operating device for natural language input is disclosed. A user can express its own request to the operating device by inputting natural language, then a processor determines format of natural language, if the natural language is voice format, a voice identification cell transforms it into word data and transmits to a natural language analysis unit; if the natural language is word or character identification format, the natural language analysis unit directly analyzes sentence type and issues a instruction accordingly, and then, an executive interface is to find out a matched equipment end to transmit the instruction for operating in real time, such design can respond to equipment end as required by the user so as to achieve a best man-machine communicating channel.

Claims

1. An operating device for natural language input comprising a transmission interface, a processor, a voice identification unit, a natural language analysis unit and an executive interface, wherein:

said transmission interface being connected to an input unit and adapted to receive voice, words or character identification data of natural language from said input end to said processor;

said processor being adapted to judge format of the voice, words or character identification data for transmitting the voice format data to said voice identification unit or transmitting the word or character identification format data to said natural language analysis unit directly;

said voice identification unit being adapted to transform the voice format data into words data and transmit to said natural language analysis unit; and

said natural language analysis unit being adapted to analyzes sentence type of the words data and transform analyzed keywords into instructions and transmit it to said processor, and then said processor further transmitting the instructions to a matched equipment unit via said executive interface for real-time interactive response.

2. The operating device for natural language input of claim 1, wherein said transmission interface of said operating device can be a wire transmission interface and a wireless transmission interface.

3. The operating device for natural language input of claim 2, wherein said wire transmission interface can be network, a phone line, a transmission line and a coaxial cable.

4. The operating device for natural language input of claim 2, wherein said wireless transmission interface can be an antenna interface, a frequency carrier interface, an infrared interface and a Bluetooth interface.

5. The operating device for natural language input of claim 1, wherein said input end can be a voice device, a word input device and a character identification device.

6. The operating device for natural language input of claim 5, wherein said voice device can be a microphone and a mobile phone.

7. The operating device for natural language input of claim 5, wherein said word input device can be a computer, a mobile phone and a notebook.

8. The operating device for natural language input of claim 5, wherein said character identification device can be a scanner, a projector and a linear scanner to transform scanned images into words in OCR character identification mode.

9. The operating device for natural language input of claim 1, wherein said executive interface of said operating device can transmit the instruction to said equipment unit via another transmission interface, and said another transmission interface can be a wire transmission interface or a wireless transmission interface.

10. The operating device for natural language input of claim 9, wherein said wire transmission interface can be network, a phone line, a transmission line and a coaxial cable.

11. The operating device for natural language input of claim 9, wherein said wireless transmission interface can be an antenna interface, a frequency carrier interface, an infrared interface and a Bluetooth interface.

12. The operating device for natural language input of claim 1, wherein said operating device is built-in the equipment unit, and said input end directly inputs natural language into said built-in operating device of said equipment end.
