Abstract

The present disclosure provides information processing methods and electronic devices in view of the problem in the conventional technology that accuracy of adjusting parameters via voice input is low. The information processing method is applied in an electronic device comprising an output unit. The method comprises: outputting, by the output unit, first data corresponding to a first application when the electronic device executes the first application; acquiring a first voice input that is inputted in a voice input approach; performing voice recognition on the first voice input to acquire a first operation instruction; controlling the output unit to output second data based on the first operation instruction, wherein a first parameter of the second data is different from that of the first data; and setting, based on the first operation instruction, a response unit in a first operation area on the electronic device as a first function response unit adjust the first parameter, wherein the input approach for the first operation area is different from the voice input approach.

Claims

1. An information processing method in an electronic device comprising an output unit, the method comprising:

outputting, by the output unit, first data corresponding to a first application when the electronic device executes the first application;

acquiring a first voice input that is inputted in a voice input approach;

performing voice recognition on the first voice input to acquire a first operation instruction;

controlling the output unit to output second data based on the first operation instruction, wherein a first parameter of the second data is different from that of the first data; and

setting, based on the first operation instruction, a response unit in a first operation area on the electronic device as a first function response unit configured to adjust the first parameter, wherein an input approach for the first operation area is different from the voice input approach.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein, after outputting, by the output unit, the first data corresponding to the first application, the method further comprises:

acquiring a second voice input that is inputted in the voice input approach, wherein the second voice input is different from the first voice input;

performing voice recognition on the second voice input to acquire a second operation instruction;

controlling the output unit to output a third data based on the second operation instruction, wherein a second parameter of the third data is different from that of the first data; and

setting, based on the second operation instruction, a response unit in a second operation area on the electronic device as a second function response unit configured to adjust the second parameter, wherein an input approach for the second operation area is different from the voice input approach.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first operation area is a partial area on the display unit of the electronic device, wherein the partial area and an edge of the display unit overlap.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein, before setting the response unit in the first operation area on the electronic device as the first function response unit, the method further comprises:

determining, based on a state of the electronic device, the first operation area as the partial area corresponding to the state.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the state of the electronic device comprises a display direction of the display unit and/or a holding position on the electronic device at which the electronic device is held by the user.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein, when the first application is a camera application, said outputting, by the output unit, the first data corresponding to the first application comprises displaying, by the display unit of the electronic device, the first data captured by an image capture apparatus of the electronic device.

7. An electronic device comprising:

an output unit configured to output first data corresponding to a first application when the electronic device executes the first application, and further configured to output a second data, wherein a first parameter of the second data is different from that of the first data;

a voice input unit configured to acquire a first voice input that is inputted in a voice input approach;

a voice recognition unit configured to perform voice recognition on the first voice input to acquire a first operation instruction; and

a control unit configured to control the output unit to output the second data based on the first operation instruction, wherein a first parameter of the second data is different from that of the first data, and further configured to set, based on the first operation instruction, a response unit in a first operation area on the electronic device as a first function response unit configured to adjust the first parameter, wherein an input approach for the first operation area is different from the voice input approach.

8. The electronic device according to claim 7, wherein the voice input unit is further configured to acquire a second voice input that is inputted in the voice input approach, wherein the second voice input is different from the first voice input;

the voice recognition unit is further configured to perform voice recognition on the second voice input to acquire a second operation instruction;

the control unit is further configured to control the output unit to output third data based on the second operation instruction, wherein a second parameter of the third data is different from that of the first data;

further configured to set, based on the second operation instruction, a response unit in a second operation area on the electronic device as a second function response unit configured to adjust the second parameter, and the input approach for the second operation area is different from the voice input approach.

9. The electronic device according to claim 7, wherein the operation area is a partial area on the display unit of the electronic device, wherein the partial area and an edge of the display unit overlap.

10. The electronic device according to claim 9, wherein the control unit is configured to determine, based on a state of the electronic device, the first operation area as the partial area corresponding to the state, before the response unit in the first operation area on the electronic device is set as the first function response unit.

11. The electronic device according to claim 10, wherein the state of the electronic device comprises a display direction of the display unit and/or a holding position on the electronic device at which the electronic device is held by the user.

12. The electronic device according to claim 7, wherein, when the first application is a camera application, the output unit is configured to display, through the display unit of the electronic device, the first data captured by an image capture apparatus of the electronic device.
