Abstract

The present disclosure discloses an information processing method and an electronic device. The electronic device comprises a first processing unit and a second processing unit. The second processing unit is capable of executing at least one application program. The information processing method comprises: collecting first sound information; when the first sound information comprises first information which matches with audio data preset in the first processing unit, generating a first instruction, and transmitting the first instruction to the second processing unit; when it is determined that there is a first application which meets a predetermined condition in the at least one application program, generating, by the second processing unit, a second instruction based on the first instruction and the first application; and executing the second instruction in the first application.

Claims

1. An information processing method applied in an electronic device comprising at least one hardware processor for implementing a first processing unit, a second processing unit and a collection unit, wherein the first processing unit comprises a voice recognition module, the information processing method comprising:

collecting, with the collection unit, first sound information;

extracting, with the first processing unit, an energy parameter of the first sound information and determining, with the first processing unit, whether the energy parameter is greater than or equal to a first threshold;

starting the voice recognition module when it is determined that the energy parameter is greater than or equal to the first threshold;

generating a first instruction and transmitting the first instruction to the second processing unit when the first sound information comprises first information which matches with audio data preset in the first processing unit;

wherein the generating the first instruction comprises;

acquiring, with the voice recognition module, a first parameter of the first sound information;

comparing, with the first processing unit, an audio template in the preset audio data with the first parameter to generate a first comparison result; and

generating, with the first processing unit, the first instruction when the first comparison result indicates that the audio template matches with the first parameter;

generating, with the second processing unit, a second instruction based on the first instruction and a first application when the second processing unit determines that there is the first application, which meets a predetermined condition, in at least one application program, wherein the second instruction is one of a plurality of predetermined instructions and the first instruction is of equally applicable to generate each one of the plurality of predetermined instructions; and

executing, the second processing unit, the second instruction in the first application.

2. The information processing method according to claim 1, wherein the generating of a second instruction based on the first instruction and the first application comprises:

judging, with the second processing unit, that a first process of the first application is invoked by the second processing unit;

acquiring, with the second processing unit, an identity of the first process and matching, with the second processing unit, the identity of the first process with process identities in a process identity library; and

obtaining, with the second processing unit, an instruction corresponding to a second process identity as the second instruction when it is determined that the identity of the first process matches with the second process identity in the process identity library.

3. An electronic device, comprising at least one hardware processor for implementing a first processing unit, a second processing unit, and a collection unit, the second processing unit being capable of executing at least one application program, the first processing unit comprising a determination unit, a generation unit, a transmission unit, a voice recognition module, an extraction unit, a judgment unit and a start unit, wherein

the collection unit is configured to collect first sound information;

the extraction unit is configured to extract an energy parameter of the first sound information;

the judgment unit is configured to judge whether the energy parameter is greater than or equal to a first threshold, to obtain a first judgment result;

the start unit is configured to start the voice recognition module when the first judgment result indicates that the energy parameter is greater than or equal to the first threshold;

the voice recognition module is configured to;

acquire a first parameter of the first sound information;

compare an audio template in the preset audio data with the first parameter to generate a first comparison result; and

generate the first instruction when the first comparison result indicates that the audio template matches with the first parameter;

the determination unit is configured to trigger the generation unit when it is determined that the first sound information comprises first information which matches with audio data preset in the first processing unit;

the generation unit is configured to generate a first instruction;

the transmission unit is configured to transmit the first instruction to the second processing unit; and

the second processing unit is configured to generate a second instruction based on the first instruction and a first application when the second processing unit determines that there is the first application, which meets a predetermined condition, in the at least one application program, and to execute the second instruction in the first application, wherein the second instruction is one of a plurality of predetermined instructions and the first instruction is equally applicable to generate each of the plurality of predetermined instructions.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3, wherein the second processing unit is further configured to determine that a first process of the first application is invoked, when the first instruction is received;

to acquire an identity of the first process and match the identity of the first process with process identities in a process identity library; and

to obtain an instruction corresponding to a second process identity as the second instruction when it is determined that the identity of the first process matches with the second process identity in the process identity library.
