Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the invention, as detailed in the appended claims.

Currently, users are increasingly using voice assistants on smart terminals. The speech assistant is typically in a monolingual mode, for example, the user invokes the speech assistant in Chinese and makes a request, and the speech assistant responds in Chinese.

However, worldwide, there are a large number of users who learn foreign languages. Since the foreign language level is limited, the users can only ask questions in the familiar language, and hope the voice assistant to answer in the foreign language, so as to improve the foreign language level. For example, since the hearing level is an indispensable ability in foreign language learning, the user wants to build a bilingual communication environment in daily life to exercise the hearing ability. This requirement is particularly acute for users in resource-poor regions.

The present disclosure provides an interaction method in which a bilingual interaction instruction is received, a bilingual interaction mode is entered, then a first voice message from a user is received and a first language is determined, a second language reply message is generated based on the first voice message, and then the second language reply message is sent to the user. In this method, the second language is different from the first language, i.e., the language of the message received by the voice assistant is different from the language of the reply message sent. This is to enable the user to learn the second language by listening or viewing a response message of the second language even when the user does not have a good idea of the second language, that is, cannot ask a question in the second language. The user with the hearing learning requirement can set the reply language of the bilingual intelligent voice assistant as the target language which the user needs to learn, namely, the user can interact with equipment such as a mobile phone or a sound box carrying the voice assistant in daily life, and a vivid bilingual communication scene can be created for the user by utilizing the bilingual voice assistant, so that the user can be assisted in learning foreign languages.

It should be noted that the above interaction method can be applied to various intelligent terminals, such as mobile phones, PADs, wearable devices; and can also be used for various multimedia devices, such as sound boxes, interactive learning devices and the like. These intelligent terminals or multimedia devices can interact with users through text or voice.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart illustrating an interaction method, as shown in FIG. 1, according to an exemplary embodiment, the method including the steps of:

step 101, receiving a bilingual interaction instruction, and entering a bilingual interaction mode;

step 102, receiving a first voice message from a user, and determining a first language based on the first voice message;

103, generating a reply message in a second language based on the first voice message, wherein the second language is different from the first language;

and 104, sending the reply message in the second language to the user.

The method is implemented on a mobile phone, for example. The user sends a first language message to the mobile phone to interact with the mobile phone.

In step 101, a bilingual interaction instruction from a user is received, and a bilingual interaction mode is entered. It should be noted that if no bilingual interactive instruction is received, the system operates in the bilingual interactive mode.

In step 102, after the user sends out the first voice message, for example, the user asks "how much the weather is today" and the mobile phone receives the first voice message. A first language is determined based on the language used for the first voice message.

In step 103, after receiving the first voice message, a second language reply message, i.e. an answer to the question, for example, "It is close", is generated based on the first voice message. Where the first language is different from the second language. This is because the user may need to learn the second language with the help of the cell phone. The second language level at the user is insufficient to interact with the handset using the second language. Thus, the second language can only be learned by saying or writing first a familiar first language and then by listening or looking at a reply message in the second language. Where the reply message is a dialogue-like reply to the first voice message.

In step 103, after the mobile phone generates the reply message in the second language, the message is sent to the user in a voice or text manner.

By adopting the method, the user can interact with the intelligent terminal or the multimedia equipment carrying the voice assistant in daily life, and can conveniently and quickly learn foreign languages with lower cost.

In an alternative embodiment, the method further comprises:

acquiring the setting information of the user about the second language;

determining the second language based on the setting information.

Here, acquiring the setting information of the user may be achieved in various ways. For example, setting information stored in a mobile phone by a user may be acquired; the method can receive information input by a user through voice or characters, and extract setting information from the information; the setting information can be acquired by sensing the visual content set by the user through the camera; the setting information may be obtained from a connected smart terminal (when the method is implemented on a smart speaker or the like). The setting information here determines the second language set by the user.

In an optional embodiment, the obtaining the setting information of the user about the second language includes:

and when the voice setting instruction of the user for the second language is determined to be received, acquiring the setting information of the second language based on the voice setting instruction.

It should be noted that, when receiving the voice setting instruction of the user for the second language, the user does not acquire the setting information stored in the mobile phone, but preferentially adopts the voice setting instruction sent by the user this time.

In an alternative embodiment, said generating a second language reply message based on said first voice message comprises:

generating a first language reply message based on the first voice message;

generating the second language reply message based on the first language reply message.

Upon generating a second language reply message based on the first voice message,

upon receiving a first voice message, a first language reply message is generated for the first voice message. For example, the first voice message is "how it is today's weather" and the first language reply message is "it is today's rain". The above-mentioned process of generating the first language reply message based on the first voice message may be generated by using a technique known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described herein again.

The first language reply message is then translated into a second language reply message using machine translation techniques. For example, a first language reply message is translated as "It will rain". The machine translation techniques herein employ techniques known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein.

In an alternative embodiment, said generating a second language reply message based on said first voice message comprises:

translating the first voice message to generate a second language message;

generating the second language reply message based on the second language message.

Upon receiving the first voice message, the first voice message is translated to a second language message using machine translation techniques. For example, the first voice message is "how the weather is today" and the second voice message is "What's the weather likeketoday". The machine translation techniques herein employ techniques known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein.

A second language reply message is then generated for the second language message based on the second language message. For example, the second language reply message is "It will rain" message. The above process of generating the second language reply message based on the second language message may be generated by using techniques known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described herein again.

As can be seen from the above two embodiments, when generating the reply message in the second language based on the first voice message, the reply message in the same language may be generated first and then translated, or the reply message in another language may be translated first and then generated. In this way, in the case of receiving a message in one language, a reply message in another language can be generated, thereby achieving the purpose of learning a foreign language for the user.

In an alternative embodiment, said sending said second language reply message to said user comprises:

sending the reply message in the second language to the user in a voice form; and/or

And sending the reply message in the second language to the user in a text form.

After the mobile phone generates the reply message in the second language, the reply message can be sent in a text form or a voice form. Of course, the corresponding text reply message may be displayed on the display screen at the same time as the voice reply message is sent. When the method is implemented on a device that is not provided with a display screen, such as a smart speaker, then the second language reply message is sent only in the form of speech.

In an alternative embodiment, said sending said second language reply message to said user in the form of speech comprises:

generating the second language reply message in a voice form based on the second language reply message in a text form;

and sending the second language reply message in a voice form to the user.

When the reply message in the second language in the voice form is sent to the user, the reply message in the voice form needs to be generated based on the reply message in the text form by using a voice synthesis technology. The speech synthesis techniques herein employ techniques known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein.
