Abstract

A voice control method is provided. At least one object name-action prompt correspondence document is received and processed into an object name-action prompt correspondence document set that defines at least one object name and at least one corresponding action prompt. The object name-action prompt correspondence document set is processed to establish an object name-action prompt correspondence list. A voice is recognized as one or multiple voice recognition results to generate one or multiple corresponding candidate object names. At least one corresponding candidate action prompt is outputted according to the candidate object name(s) and the object name-action prompt correspondence list. A selected action prompt is received, and a module providing the selected action prompt is requested to execute an operation.

Claims

1. A voice control method, comprising:

receiving and processing at least one object name-action prompt correspondence document into an object name-action prompt correspondence document set;

processing the object name-action prompt correspondence document set to establish an object name-action prompt correspondence list;

recognizing a voice as one or a plurality of voice recognition results to generate one or a plurality of candidate object names;

outputting at least one corresponding candidate action prompt according to the candidate object name(s) and the object name-action prompt correspondence list; and

receiving a selected action prompt, and requesting a module providing the selected action prompt to execute an operation.

2. The voice control method according to claim 1, the at least one object name-action prompt correspondence document defines at least one object name and at least one corresponding action prompt.

3. The voice control method according to claim 2, wherein the module is an application or a hardware device.

4. The voice control method according to claim 3, wherein at least one action prompt corresponding to a same object name is fetched from the object name-action prompt correspondence document set to establish the object name-action prompt correspondence list, and each of the object names in the object name-action prompt correspondence list is unique and corresponds to one or a plurality of action prompts.

5. The voice control method according to claim 3, wherein the object name-action prompt correspondence document set comprises respective individual object name-action prompt correspondence documents provided by respective applications or respective hardware devices.

6. The voice control method according to claim 3, wherein all object names in the object name-action prompt correspondence list are compared with the voice recognition result(s) through precise comparison or fuzzy comparison to generate the candidate object name(s).

7. The voice control method according to claim 6, wherein the at least one corresponding candidate action prompts corresponding to the candidate object name(s) is/are identified from the object name-action prompt correspondence list.

8. The voice control method according to claim 1, wherein the voice is a user voice.

17. A computer-readable recording medium, after read by a device, the device performing the voice control method according to claim 1.

9. A voice control device, comprising:

an object name-action prompt correspondence document set processing module, for receiving and processing at least one object name-action prompt correspondence document into an object name-action prompt correspondence document set;

an object name combining module, for processing the object name-action prompt correspondence document set to establish an object name-action prompt correspondence list;

a voice recognition module, for recognizing a voice as one or a plurality of voice recognition results to generate one or a plurality of candidate object names; and

an action prompt output module, for outputting at least one corresponding candidate action prompt according to the candidate object name(s) and the object name-action prompt correspondence list, receiving a selected action prompt, and requesting a module providing the selected action prompt to execute an operation.

10. The voice control device according to claim 9, wherein the at least one object name-action prompt correspondence document defines at least one object name and at least one corresponding action prompt.

11. The voice control device according to claim 10, wherein the module is an application or a hardware device.

12. The voice control device according to claim 11, wherein the object name combining module fetches and combines at least one action prompt corresponding to a same object name from the object name-action prompt correspondence document set to establish the object name-action prompt correspondence list, and each of the object names in the object name-action prompt correspondence list is unique and corresponds to one or a plurality of action prompts.

13. The voice control device according to claim 11, wherein the object name-action prompt correspondence document set comprises respective individual object name-action prompt correspondence documents provided by respective applications or respective hardware devices.

14. The voice control device according to claim 11, wherein the voice recognition module compares all object names in the object name-action prompt correspondence list with the voice recognition result(s) through precise comparison or fuzzy comparison to generate the candidate object name(s).

15. The voice control device according to claim 14, wherein the action prompt output module identifies the at least one corresponding candidate action prompts corresponding to the candidate object names from the object name-action prompt correspondence list.

16. The voice control device according to claim 9, wherein the voice is a user voice.
