At S11, a starting delay of a wakeup engine of at least one second electronic device in the network is acquired.
At S12, it is determined whether a starting delay of a wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted according to the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device and the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device.
At S13, responsive to that the starting delay of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted, the starting delay of the wakeup engine is adjusted, and wakeup information interaction is performed with the at least one second electronic device based on the adjusted starting delay of the wakeup engine.
In the example of the present disclosure, the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be an intelligent speaker, a sweeping robot and wearable electronic devices such as intelligent glasses and the like. No limits are made in the example of the present disclosure. Both the first electronic device and the second electronic device are devices in the network.
In an example of the present disclosure, when the first electronic device and the second electronic device log in a server based on predetermined accounts, the server matches the accounts and divides the first electronic device and second electronic device belonging to the same account into a group to form the network. The server may push a device identifier of each electronic device in the network to each electronic device in the network such that each electronic device learns about information of the other electronic devices in the network.
In another example of the present disclosure, each electronic device belonging to the same local area network account may also discover one another by sending a multicast, thereby creating a group to form the network.
It is to be noted that, in the example of the present disclosure, the electronic device may obtain and locally store the device identifier and starting delay of the wakeup engine of each electronic device in the network in a networking process. When the starting delay of the wakeup engine of any electronic device in the network is updated, the other electronic devices may also receive the updated starting delay of the electronic device.
At S11, the first electronic device may acquire the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device in the network. The starting delay of the wakeup engine refers to a time difference from reception of an instruction by the electronic device to responding to the instruction.
In an example of the present disclosure, when the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device is acquired, the starting delay, which needs to be obtained, of the wakeup engine of the second electronic device is determined according to interaction between each second electronic device and the first electronic device. For example, only the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the second electronic device of which an interaction rate with the first electronic device is higher than a preset interaction rate threshold is acquired. Since additional power consumption is needed when the device delay is adjusted, in such a manner, the necessity of device delay adjustment may be improved, and the power consumption may be reduced.
In another example of the present disclosure, when the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device is acquired, the starting delays of the wakeup engines of all the second electronic devices may be acquired by default. In the example, the starting delays of the wakeup engines of all the second electronic devices in the network are acquired to determine adjustment of the delay of the first electronic device, such that adjustment of the starting delay of the first electronic device may be adapted to interaction with all the second electronic devices in the network to achieve higher adjustment precision.
At S12, the first electronic device may determine whether the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted according to the starting delay of its own wakeup engine and the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device.
In the example of the present disclosure, when the first electronic device determines whether the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted according to the starting delay of its own wakeup engine and the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device, for example, a delay difference between the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device and the starting delay of the at least one second electronic device is compared with a preset threshold to determine whether the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted.
At S13, the first electronic device, in response to determining that its own starting delay needs to be adjusted, adjusts its own starting delay and performs wakeup information interaction with the at least one second electronic device based on the adjusted starting delay of the wakeup engine.
It is to be noted that, in the example of the present disclosure, when the first electronic device determines that its own starting delay does not need to be adjusted, the original starting delay of the wakeup engine is kept unchanged. In addition, in the example of the present disclosure, any device in the network may be the first electronic device, and it is determined whether the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted based on the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the second electronic device except the first electronic device in the network.
In an example, a fixed time compensation value (starting delay) may be set for an electronic device when the electronic device is delivered (or a software version is upgraded) such that a fixed time compensation is adopted every time when the electronic device interacts during networking. Even though a network environment changes, the fixed time compensation is still adopted.
It can be understood that, in this manner, the fixed value is adopted every time regardless of the network environment, and consequently, there is such a problem that the starting delay setting reliability is not so high and cannot meet requirements of different scenarios. In addition, the manner of setting the starting delay when the device is delivered or software is upgraded may require independent setting for each device, and thus is high in workload and limited in extensibility and applicability.
Comparatively, in the present disclosure, the first electronic device acquires the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device in the network, determines whether its own starting delay needs to be adjusted according to the starting delay of the first electronic device and, after determining that adjustment is needed, performs adjustment. It is determined whether adjustment is needed with reference to the starting delay of the second electronic device in the network, namely with reference to a network environment.
On one hand, unnecessary adjustment is reduced, and the power consumption is reduced. On the other hand, adaptive adjustment may be implemented according to the network environment, then an obtained device delay is relatively precise, and the delay adjustment reliability is high. In addition, the delay of the first electronic device is dynamically adjusted according to the network environment and does not need to be fixed in the device, such that the extensibility is higher.
For example, both the first electronic device and the second electronic device are intelligent speakers. After multiple intelligent speakers in the network receive a voice wakeup event, different intelligent speakers may send wakeup data packets to one another, and the specific speaker responding to the wakeup event is determined according to the device closest to a user. For example, for a speaker A and a speaker B, the speaker B, if determining that the speaker B responds to the wakeup event, replies to the speaker A, and the speaker A, if also determining that the speaker B responds to the wakeup event, does not reply to the speaker B. If the speaker A does not receive any wakeup data packet in delay time, the speaker A and the speaker B may be woken up at the same time, thereby bringing bad experiences to the user. Therefore, in the present disclosure, in the manner of obtaining a reliable delay according to the network environment, the simultaneous wakeup rate of the devices may be reduced, and the user experiences are improved.
In an example, the operation that the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device in the network is acquired includes: when a device identifier, stored in the first electronic device, of any second electronic device in the network is kept unchanged in a preset time length, a starting delay of a wakeup engine of each second electronic device in a present network is acquired; and
the operation that it is determined whether the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted according to the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device and the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device includes: it is determined whether the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted according to the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device and the starting delay of the wakeup engine of each second electronic device in the network.
As described above, the electronic device may obtain and locally store the device identifier and starting delay of the wakeup engine of each electronic device in the network in the networking process. In the example of the present disclosure, when the device identifier, stored in the first electronic device, of any second electronic device in the network is kept unchanged in the preset time length, the starting delay of the wakeup engine of each second electronic device in the present network is acquired.
It is to be noted that, when the device identifier of any second electronic device in the network is kept unchanged in the preset time length, it indicates that the network has been stable. After the network is stable, it is determined whether adjustment is needed. The starting delays of the wakeup engines of all the devices in the network are collected, and then it is determined whether the delay needs to be adjusted. In such a manner, the effectiveness of determining whether adjustment is needed may be improved. In addition, in the present disclosure, the starting delay of the wakeup engine of each second electronic device in the network is acquired, and it is determined whether the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted in combination with the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device, such that the accuracy of adjusting the delay of the first electronic device may be improved.
In an example, the operation that the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device in the network is acquired includes: when a device identifier of the second electronic device in the network is updated, the acquired starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device in the network is updated; and
the operation that it is determined whether the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted according to the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device and the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device includes: it is determined whether the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted according to the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device and the updated starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device.
In the example of the present disclosure, when a device in the network where the first electronic device is located is updated, namely the device identifier of the second electronic device in the network is updated, the first electronic device needs to update the acquired starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device in the network and determine whether the starting delay of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted based on the updated starting delay of the at least one second electronic device.
It can be understood that, in the present disclosure, the starting delay of the second electronic device may be updated to dynamically adjust the starting delay of the first electronic device, and when a new second electronic device joins the network or a second electronic device withdraws from the network, adaptive adjustment may also be implemented based on the present updated network environment and the devices do not need to be modified one by one in a software upgrading manner, such that high flexibility is achieved.
In an example, the operation that it is determined whether the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted according to the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device and the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device includes: the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device is compared with the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device to determine a maximum delay of the wakeup engines of the devices in the network; and it is determined whether the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted based on the maximum delay and a preset maximum delay tolerance value.
In the example of the present disclosure, when it is determined whether the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted according to the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device and the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device, the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device is compared with the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the at least one second electronic device at first to determine a maximum delay of the wakeup engines of the devices in the network, and it is determined whether the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted based on the maximum delay and the preset maximum delay tolerance value. The preset maximum delay tolerance value refers to an allowed delay for sending of a data packet between the devices.
It can be understood that, in the process, the maximum delay of the network is obtained based on the starting delays of all the electronic devices in the network, such that the performance of all the electronic devices in the network is considered. For the present first electronic device in the network, it is determined whether the starting delay of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted based on the starting delay of the first electronic device, the maximum delay and the preset maximum delay tolerance value, namely with reference to the performance of the first electronic device and the performance of each electronic device in the network environment. In such a manner, the starting delay of the first electronic device may be determined in combination with the network environment, such that high accuracy is achieved.
As described above, any device in the network may be the first electronic device, and thus each device in the network may determine whether to be delayed to wait for another device in the network according to a calculated result. In such a manner, a device with high performance and a short front-end delay may wait for a device with low performance and a long front-end delay to achieve a purpose of automatically adjusting the consistency.
In an example, the operation that it is determined whether the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted based on the maximum delay and the preset maximum delay tolerance value includes: when a delay difference between the maximum delay and the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device is greater than the preset maximum delay tolerance value, it is determined that the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted; and
the operation that the starting delay of the wakeup engine is adjusted responsive to that the starting delay of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted includes: responsive to that the starting delay of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted, the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device is adjusted at least by a difference value between the delay difference and the preset maximum delay tolerance value.
In the example of the present disclosure, the maximum delay represents the delay of the electronic device with lowest performance in the network, such that the electronic device with highest performance needs to wait for an electronic device with low performance. When the delay difference between the maximum delay and the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device is greater than the preset maximum delay tolerance value, it indicates that the starting delay of the first electronic device is short, and the starting delay of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted.
Specifically, during adjustment, the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device may be adjusted into the difference value between the delay difference and the preset maximum delay tolerance value.
Exemplarily, there are three electronic devices in the network, i.e., a first electronic device A, a second electronic device B and a second electronic device C. If a starting delay of a wakeup engine of the first electronic device A is 10 milliseconds (ms), a starting delay of a wakeup engine of the second electronic device B is 100 ms, a starting delay of a wakeup engine of the second electronic device C is 150 ms and the preset maximum delay tolerance value is 100 ms, a delay difference between the starting delay of the first electronic device A and the maximum delay 150 ms is 140 ms, and the delay difference is greater than the preset maximum delay tolerance value 100 ms, such that the delay of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted at least by 40 ms (140 ms-100 ms) to ensure that a delay difference between the first electronic device A and the second electronic device C with lowest performance is in a range of the preset maximum delay tolerance value.
It is to be noted that, in the example of the present disclosure, when the delay difference between the maximum delay and the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device is less than or equal to the preset maximum delay tolerance value, it indicates that the delay difference between the starting delay of the first electronic device and the delay of the electronic device with the lowest performance is in an allowable delay range, such that the starting delay of the first electronic device may be kept unchanged and does not need to be adjusted.
In an example, before the operation that it is determined whether the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted based on the maximum delay and the preset maximum delay tolerance value, the method further includes: an online dotting log of at least one of the first electronic device or the at least one second electronic device is acquired; network transmission time for transmission of a wakeup data packet after the associated wakeup engine is started in the online dotting log is statistically obtained; and the preset maximum delay tolerance value is determined based on a preset decision-making timeout and the network transmission time. The decision-making timeout is preset time required from reception of a wakeup event by the wakeup engine of at least one of the first electronic device or the at least one second electronic device to decision-making about whether to respond to the wakeup event.
In the example of the present disclosure, the preset maximum delay tolerance value may be obtained by statistically analyzing historical data. The first electronic device may record its own online dotting log during work and may also obtain the online dotting log of the at least one second electronic device and statistically obtain the network transmission time for transmission of the wakeup data packet after the associated wakeup engine is started in the online dotting log. The network transmission time may be an average value of associated network transmission time for transmission of wakeup data packets in the online dotting lot, and is, for example, t1.
It is to be noted that the preset decision-making timeout of the present disclosure is the time required from reception of the wakeup event by the wakeup engine of at least one of the first electronic device or the at least one second electronic device to decision-making about whether to respond to the wakeup event. For example, if the first electronic device and the second electronic device are intelligent speakers, the first electronic device and the second electronic device, after receiving the wakeup event, may send wakeup data packets to each other to determine the specific intelligent speaker for responding, and the decision-making timeout includes time when the wakeup data packet is sent and time when a decision is made. In an example of the present disclosure, the preset decision-making timeout may be time preset according to a user experience condition, for example, t2.
In the present disclosure, the preset maximum delay tolerance value may be determined based on the preset decision-making timeout and the network transmission time. For example, a half of a difference value between the preset decision-making timeout and the network transmission time may be determined as the preset maximum delay tolerance value, namely (t2−t1)/2.
At S21, an intelligent device may receive a configured performance parameter when accessing.
In the example, access of the intelligent device may refer to access of the intelligent device to a network, that is, the intelligent device may access the network. During access, a technician may test the performance of the intelligent device, thereby setting the performance parameter of the intelligent device. The performance parameter at least includes a starting delay of a wakeup engine.
At S22, the intelligent device stores the performance parameter, and updates the stored performance parameter when the performance parameter is updated.
In the example, every time when started, the intelligent device may acquire its own performance parameter and detect whether the performance parameter changes, and if YES, updates the stored performance parameter.
At S23, when participating in networking, the intelligent device sends related device information with a device in a network.
In the example, the intelligent device, when participating in networking, may send the related device information including the performance parameter with the device in the network, namely acquiring a starting delay of a wakeup engine of at least one second electronic device in the network. For example, each device sends its own performance parameter to another device, and the device stores a performance parameter of each other device in the network.
At S24, when the network is stable, the intelligent device calculates its own delay compensation value after collecting performance parameters of other devices in the network.
For example, a relative maximum delay of the wakeup engines of the devices in the network is max_delay time, an acceptable maximum relative delay is accept_delay_time (fixed value), and a relative delay of the device is self_delay time. In such case,
a) when a difference value between max_delay_time and self_delay_time is less than or equal to accept delay time (that is, (max_delay_time-self_delay_time) <=accept_delay_time), the device does not need to be delayed; and
b) when a difference value between max_delay_ time and self_delay_time is greater than accept_delay_time ((max_delay_time-self_delay_time)>accept_delay_time), a wakeup data packet of the device is sent after a delay, and the delay refers to that the difference value between max_delay_time and self_delay_time minus accept_delay_time ((max_delay_time-self_delay_time)−accept_delay_time).
Herein, max_delay time is the maximum delay of the wakeup engines of the devices in the network, accept delay time is the preset maximum delay tolerance value, and self_delay_time is the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device.
In a), that is, when the delay difference between the maximum delay and the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device is less than or equal to the preset maximum delay tolerance value, the starting delay of the first electronic device is kept unchanged.
In b), that is, when the delay difference between the maximum delay and the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device is greater than the preset maximum delay tolerance value, it is determined that the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device needs to be adjusted, and the starting delay of the wakeup engine of the first electronic device is adjusted at least by the difference value between the delay difference and the preset maximum delay tolerance value.
It can be understood that, in the example, it is determined whether adjustment is needed with reference to the starting delay of each electronic device in the network, namely with reference to the network environment. On one hand, unnecessary adjustment is reduced, and the power consumption is reduced. On the other hand, adaptive adjustment may be implemented according to the network environment, then an obtained device delay is relatively precise, and the delay adjustment reliability is high. In addition, the delay of the first electronic device is dynamically adjusted according to the network environment and does not need to be fixed in the device, such that the extensibility is higher.
