DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are illustrated below in combination with the accompanying drawings, where various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure are included for understanding, which should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that various alterations and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein, without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Likewise, for clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

In the existing elevator use scenarios, both an intelligent elevator and a traditional elevator require a user to touch the elevator for controlling the elevator. For example, the elevator requires the user to press a floor button. When there are a large number of people using the elevator, multiple people would touch the same spot of the elevator, which might result in a safety risk. Especially when a user of the elevator carries an infectious disease, this way of using the elevator is likely to cause the spread of disease and poses a potential safety risk. In addition, a potential sanitary risk also exists when multiple people touch the same spot of the elevator.

In order to solve the abovementioned technical problems, the present disclosure provides an elevator control solution according to which the elevator is controlled by a speech device, and thus the elevator can be controlled without touch, thereby solving the problem of potential safety risk caused by touch-based elevator control in the prior art.

FIG. 1A is a system architecture diagram illustrated in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 1A, solutions provided by the present disclosure may be applied to the system illustrated in FIG. 1A. The system may include a speech device 1A1, a speech device cloud 1A2 and an elevator side device 1A3.

The speech device 1A1 may interact with the speech device cloud 1A2 through a network, for example, a user may send an instruction to the speech device 1A1, the speech device 1A1 may send a control instruction to the speech device cloud 1A2 based on the user instruction, and then the speech device cloud 1A2 sends an instruction to the elevator side device 1A3 according to the control instruction, so as to control the elevator.

When the speech device 1A1 is disposed indoors, the user may remotely control the elevator, for example, call the elevator to reach the floor where the user currently located. When the speech device 1A1 is disposed on a floor, the user may control the elevator on the floor, for example, call the elevator to reach the floor where the user currently located and open the elevator door. When the speech device 1A1 is disposed inside the elevator, the user may control the elevator in the elevator, for example, send out a destination floor to be reached.

FIG. 1B is a system architecture diagram illustrated in another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the solutions provided by the present disclosure may be applied to the system illustrated in FIG. 1B. The system may include a speech device 1B1 and an elevator side device 1B2.

The speech device 1B1 may be connected with the elevator side device 1B2 in a wired or wireless manner. For example, the speech device 1B1 may be connected with the elevator side device 1B2 through an internal network; for another example, the speech device 1B1 may be integrated in an elevator, and disposed with the elevator as a whole.

For example, a user may send an instruction to the speech device 1B1, and then the speech device 1B1 may send a control instruction to the elevator side device 1B2, so as to control the elevator.

When the speech device 1B1 is disposed indoors, the user may remotely control the elevator, for example, call the elevator to reach the floor where the user currently located. When the speech device 1B1 is disposed on a floor, the user may control the elevator on the floor, for example, call the elevator to reach the floor where the user currently located and open the elevator door. When the speech device 1B1 is disposed inside the elevator, the user may control the elevator in the elevator, for example, send out a destination floor to be reached.

The speech device may be in a form of a speaker, or a control apparatus disposed indoors, such as a control apparatus used to open a unit door, or a processing module integrated in an elevator, etc.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an elevator control method illustrated in the first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 2, an elevator control method provided by the present disclosure includes:

Step 201, obtaining a user instruction, where the user instruction is determined by a speech device based on a user speech content.

The method provided by the present embodiment may be performed by an electronic device with a computing capability, where the electronic device may be, for example, the speech device cloud 1A2 shown in FIG. 1A. The speech device cloud 1A2 may be a single electronic device, or may be composed of multiple electronic devices, for example, may be a distributed cluster server. The specific form thereof may be one or several computers.

In an implementation, the electronic device for performing the method provided by the present embodiment may also be the speech device 1B1 shown in FIG. 1B, where the speech device 1B1 can recognize the speech content spoken by the user and control the elevator based on a recognition result.

Specifically, the user may speak a speech content, and the speech device can recognize the speech content and determine a user instruction.

Further, the speech device may obtain the user instruction by converting the speech content into a text content. A semantic recognition algorithm may be preset in the speech device, so as to convert the speech content spoken by the user into the text content.

FIG. 3A is a diagram of a first application scenario illustrated in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 3, a user 3A1 may wake up a speech device 3A2 and speak a speech content to it. For example, the user may wake up the speech device 3A2 via an instruction, “xiaodu xiaodu”, and thereafter, the user 3A1 may speak a speech content, “I'm going to the 8th floor”. The speech device 3A2 can convert this speech content into a text content, “I'm going to the 8th floor”.

In practical applications, the speech device may be connected with a speech device cloud and, specifically, may be connected in a wired or wireless manner. For example, the user can configure a network for speech device, to enable the speech device to access the internet and then connect with the speech device cloud that also accesses the internet.

The speech device may send the recognized user instruction to the speech device cloud, so as to enable the speech device cloud to obtain the user instruction.

Specifically, when sending the user instruction, the speech device may encapsulate the user instruction in a message. The message may also include information related to the speech device, such as a speech device identification, or a user identification bound to the speech device.

FIG. 3B is a diagram of a second application scenario illustrated in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 3B, the speech device 3A2 may send the user instruction to the speech device cloud 3A3 after recognizing the user instruction, so as to enable the speech device cloud 3A3 to control the elevator based on the user instruction.

FIG. 4 is a diagram of a third application scenario illustrated in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 4, the speech device 41 may be disposed in the elevator, for example, integrated in the elevator. The user can speak a speech content, “I'm going to the 8th floor”. The speech device 41 can convert this speech content into a text content, “I'm going to the 8th floor”, so as to obtain a user instruction matched with the speech content spoken by the user.

Step 202, recognizing the user instruction and converting the user instruction into an elevator control instruction.

Further, the user instruction may be recognized and, specifically, an intention of the instruction may be recognized. When the user instruction is an instruction related to elevator control, the elevator may be controlled according to a recognition result.

In practical applications, a recognition algorithm may be provided in advance, so as to recognize the user instruction and determine a user intention, thereby obtaining a recognition result. For example, when the user instruction is “I'm going to the 8th floor”, the intention of the user is that he/she wants to go to the 8th floor, and thus the recognition result is correspondingly “going to the 8th floor”.

When the method provided by the present embodiment is performed by the speech device cloud, the user instruction may be recognized by the speech device cloud; when the method provided by the present embodiment is performed by the speech device, the user instruction may be recognized by the speech device, so as to determine the user intention. For example, when the user instruction is “I'm going to the garage”, the speech device cloud or the speech device can recognize the user intention as “going to the garage”.

As the user instruction is obtained based on the speech content from the user, the standard of user instructions may not be uniform. For example, to go to the garage, some users may say “I'm going to drive in a while”, and some user may say “I'm going to the garage”. Therefore, a user intention may be recognized first, and then the user instruction is converted into an elevator control instruction based on the intention.

Further, an elevator control protocol may be preset in the speech device cloud or the speech device, and the elevator control protocol may be used to convert a user instruction into an elevator control instruction according to the user intention. For example, when the user instruction is “I'm going to drive in a while”, the intention is recognized as “going to garage”, and then an elevator control instruction obtained through conversion may include information of going to the garage.

When the method provided by the present embodiment is performed by the speech device cloud, the elevator control instruction may also include information of the speech device that sends the user instruction.

Step 203, controlling an elevator via the elevator control instruction.

In practical applications, the speech device cloud or the speech device may control an elevator according to the elevator control instruction obtained through conversion, which will be explained separately below according to different situations.

In an embodiment, an elevator control cloud may be disposed on the elevator device side, and the speech device cloud may obtain an elevator control instruction according to the recognition result and send the elevator control instruction to the elevator control cloud. Then the elevator control cloud sends a control instruction to the elevator, so as to realize a non-contact control of the elevator.

In another embodiment, the speech device cloud may obtain an elevator control instruction according to the recognition result, and then send the elevator control instruction directly to the elevator, so as to realize a non-contact control of the elevator.

In another further embodiment, the speech device cloud may convert the user instruction to obtain an elevator control instruction, and then send the elevator control instruction directly to the elevator, so as to realize a non-contact control of the elevator.

Specifically, the elevator may access a network in a wired or wireless manner, and thus the elevator is connected with the elevator control cloud, or the elevator is connected with the speech device cloud. The elevator may also be connected with the speech device in a wired manner, for example, the speech device may be integrated in the elevator.

Further, when the speech device is disposed in user's home, office or the like, then the speech device may also be preset to determine a floor where the speech device is located. For example, when the speech device is used by the user at home, the user may set the speech device, specifically, may set detailed address information, and the speech device may send this information to the speech device cloud.

When the speech device is disposed in a floor, then the floor where the speech device is located may be set by a vendor who set the speech device, and an elevator bound to the speech device may also be configured. When the speech device is disposed inside the elevator, a floor where the speech device is located may be associated with a floor where the elevator is located, and the elevator may also be bound with the speech device.

In an implementation, when the speech device cloud performs the method of the present embodiment, the speech device cloud may also determine address information of the speech device according to a network accessed by the speech device. For example, determine the corresponding actual address according to a network address of the accessed network.

In an embodiment, the speech device cloud may send the address information of the speech device to the elevator control cloud, or the speech device cloud may determine the corresponding elevator according to the address information, and then send a corresponding relationship between the speech device and the elevator to the elevator control cloud. The elevator control cloud may record the corresponding relationship between the speech device and the elevator. The speech device cloud may also determine a floor where the speech device is located according to the address information and send information of the floor to the elevator control cloud, or, the elevator control cloud may determine a floor where the speech device is located according to the received address information. In this embodiment, the elevator control cloud may record information of the elevator corresponding to the speech device, and may also record information of the floor where the speech device is located.

In another embodiment, the speech device cloud may store the address information of the speech device, or may determine the corresponding elevator according to the address information and store a corresponding relationship between the speech device and the elevator. A floor where the speech device is located may also be determined according to the address information. In this embodiment, the speech device cloud may record information of the elevator corresponding to the speech device, and may also record information of the floor where the speech device is located.

In still another embodiment, the speech device may be directly bound with an elevator to be controlled, for example, the speech device may send an elevator control instruction to a fixed elevator in a wired manner.

When controlling the elevator, when the elevator is controlled by the elevator control cloud, the speech device cloud or the elevator control cloud may determine an elevator be to controlled according to the corresponding relationship between the speech device and the elevator, and then the elevator control cloud send an instruction to the elevator to be controlled, so as to realize a non-contact control of the elevator. When the elevator is controlled directly by the speech device cloud, the speech device cloud may determine an elevator to be controlled according to the corresponding relationship between the speech device and the elevator, and directly send an instruction to the elevator to be controlled, so as to realize a non-contact control of the elevator.

The method provided by the present embodiment is used to control the elevator, and the method is performed by a device provided with the method provided by the present embodiment, where the device is generally implemented in a hardware and/or software manner.

The elevator control method provided by the present embodiment includes: obtaining a user instruction, where the user instruction is determined by a speech device based on a user speech content; recognizing the user instruction and converting the user instruction into an elevator control instruction; and controlling an elevator via the elevator control instruction. The elevator control method provided by the present embodiment enables the user to control an elevator through a speech device without touching the elevator, thereby reducing potential safety risk caused by multiple people touching the elevator.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of an elevator control method illustrated in the second exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure;

As shown in FIG. 5, an elevator control method provided by the present embodiment includes:

Step 501, presetting an instruction dictionary for controlling an elevator, and training a speech device according to the instruction dictionary.

Specifically, an instruction dictionary may be preset, and the instruction dictionary includes instructions related to the elevator control. For example, “I'm going to the 8th floor”, “I'm going to the garage”, and for another example, “I'm going out in 5 minutes”. These instructions may be used to train the speech device and, specifically, to train a built-in semantic recognition algorithm of the speech device, so as to enable the speech device to recognize the corresponding content after the user speaks a corresponding sentence.

Step 502, receiving address information sent by the speech device.

In that case, the method provided by the present embodiment may be performed by an electronic device with a computing capability, where the electronic device may be, for example, the speech device cloud 1A2 shown in FIG. 1A. The speech device cloud 1A2 may be a single electronic device, or may be composed of multiple electronic devices, for example, may be a distributed cluster server. The specific form thereof may be one or several computers.

Specifically, in the method provided by the present embodiment, the speech device may also be preset. For example, when the speech device is a user's device, then the user may set a home address, so as to enable the speech device to obtain address information.

Further, the speech device may send the address information to the speech device cloud through a network, so as to enable the speech device cloud to receive the address information.

Step 503, sending the address information and information of the speech device to an elevator control cloud, so as to enable the elevator control cloud to determine a corresponding relationship between the speech device and the elevator according to the address information.

In an embodiment, the elevator corresponding to the speech device may also be set directly. For example, when the speech device is configured on a floor or in an elevator, a staff may directly set the elevator controlled by the speech device. The speech device may send this information to the speech device cloud, and then the speech device cloud sent it to the elevator control cloud, and then the information is maintained by the elevator cloud.

FIG. 6 is a diagram of a fourth application scenario illustrated in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 6, the method provided by the present embodiment may be applied in the application scenario shown in FIG. 6.

A user 61 may interact with a speech device 62, the speech device 62 may interact with a speech device cloud 63 through a network, and the speech device cloud 63 interact with an elevator control cloud 64 through a network, and the elevator control cloud 64 can control the elevator 65.

Specifically, after receiving the address information, the speech device cloud may send information of the speech device which sends the address information and the address information together to an elevator control cloud. For example, a speech device A sends configuration information to an speech device cloud, where the information includes an address being Address1, and the sent information may also include sending source information, i.e., information of the speech device A, and then the speech device cloud may send the information of the speech device A and an address, Address1, to the elevator control cloud.

Further, the information of the speech device A may be an identification of the speech device A, or may be account information for logging into the speech device A, to which the present embodiment defines no limitations.

In practical applications, after receiving the information of the speech device and its associated address information, the elevator control cloud may determine the elevator corresponding to the speech device, i.e., an elevator that the speech device needs to control, according to the address information.

The elevator control cloud may also record the corresponding relationship between the speech device and the elevator, for example, the elevator control cloud may maintain a mapping table including information of each speech device and the elevator it controls, such as a corresponding relationship between a speech device identification and an elevator identification.

Specifically, the elevator control cloud may also determine floor information of the speech device according to the received address information and record the corresponding relationship between the speech device and the floor. For example, a mapping table, in which a corresponding relationship between the speech device identification and the floor is recorded, may be maintained.

For example, address information of the speech device A is Address1, and the elevator corresponding to the address is elevator 1, where the corresponding elevator refers to an elevator used at the address where the speech device A is located. The speech device cloud may send the address information of the speech device A, Address1, to the elevator control cloud, and the elevator control cloud determines that the elevator corresponding to the speech device A is elevator 1 and stores a corresponding relationship between the speech device A and the elevator 1.

Step 504, obtaining a user instruction, where the user instruction is determined by the speech device based on a user speech content.

The implementation of the step 504 is similar to that of step 201, and is not repeated herein.

Step 505, recognizing the user instruction and converting the user instruction into an elevator control instruction based on an elevator control protocol.

Further, an elevator control protocol may be preset in the speech device cloud, and the elevator control protocol may be used to convert a user instruction into an elevator control instruction.

In practical applications, the user instruction may be semantically recognized to obtain a user intention. The user intention may include information of a floor that the user wants to go. For example, when a user instruction is “I'm going to the garage”, given that the garage in the building where the user is located is in the 1st basement floor, then a user intention may be recognized as “going to the 1st basement floor”.

After recognizing a user intention, the user instruction may be converted into an elevator control instruction based on the elevator control protocol. When converting, the elevator control protocol may be used to convert the user instruction into the elevator control instruction according to the user intention. In an embodiment, the elevator control instruction obtained through conversion may include information of the speech device, and may also include information of a target floor.

Step 506, sending the elevator control instruction to the elevator control cloud, so as to enable the elevator control cloud to control the elevator according to the elevator control instruction.

Continue referring to FIG. 6, as shown in FIG. 6, the speech device cloud 63 may be connected with the elevator control cloud 64 through a network. After determining the elevator control instruction, the speech device cloud may send it to the elevator control cloud. The elevator control cloud controls the elevator based on the elevator control instruction.

Specifically, the elevator control instruction includes the information of the speech device, for example, may include a speech device identification. The elevator control cloud can determine an elevator to be controlled according to the corresponding relationship between the speech device and the elevator and the information of the speech device. The corresponding relationship may be a corresponding relationship determined by the elevator control cloud by using the address information and the information of the speech device that are received in step 503.

For example, when identification information of the speech device included in the elevator control instruction is A, the elevator control cloud may search a pre-determined corresponding relationship to determine that the elevator corresponding to the speech device A is an elevator 1, thereby determining the elevator 1 as the elevator to be controlled.

Further, the elevator control cloud may control the elevator to be controlled according to the elevator control instruction. For example, the elevator control cloud may determine a self-owned instruction according to the elevator control instruction, and send the self-owned instruction to the elevator, so as to enable the elevator to execute the self-owned instruction.

The self-owned instruction may be an existing instruction configured to control the elevator. For example, when the user presses a floor button 1, a control instruction generated or obtained by an elevator controller based on the pressing operation may be the self-owned instruction. For another example, when the user in a floor presses an up button, a control instruction generated or obtained by an elevator controller based on the operation may be the self-owned instruction. A reconstruction workload in an elevator side can be reduced by this way, thereby improving the efficiency of implementing the elevator control method.

In an embodiment, the user instruction is a reservation instruction. The reservation instruction refers to an instruction used for elevator reservation. For example, when a user says “I'm going downstairs in five minutes”, the corresponding user instruction is a reservation instruction.

When the speech device cloud recognizes a user instruction as a reservation instruction, before the speech device cloud sends the elevator control instruction to the elevator control cloud, the method may further include:

recognizing time information included in the reservation instruction; and

determining timing of sending the elevator control instruction according to the time information.

If the speech device cloud recognizes a user instruction as a reservation instruction, the speech device may recognize the time information included in the reservation instruction, specifically, time information that the user needs to use the elevator. For example, a recognition result may be “in five minutes”.

When the speech content spoken by the user is “I'm going downstairs at six thirty”, then the intelligent cloud device may recognize the “six thirty” included in the instruction.

The speech device cloud may determine timing of sending the elevator control instruction according to the time information. For example, the elevator control instruction may be sent in five minutes. For another example, when a recognized content is an accurate time, and the time is expressed in a 12-hour format, then the speech device cloud may also determine the timing of sending the elevator control instruction according to current time and the time information included in the reservation instruction, for example, may determine to send the elevator control instruction at 18:30.

When the user instruction is a reservation instruction, the speech device cloud controls the timing of sending the elevator control instruction, and thus designing logics in the elevator control cloud to control timing of the elevator is not required, thereby reducing the design complexity of the elevator control cloud.

Step 507, receiving elevator control information sent by the elevator control cloud, and sending an elevator control result to the speech device according to the elevator control information, so as to enable the speech device to broadcast a notification message according to the elevator control result.

Continue referring to the FIG. 6, In the method provided by the present embodiment, the elevator 65 may also send an elevator state to the elevator control cloud, and the elevator control cloud 64 may determine elevator control information based on the elevator state, and send the elevator control information to the speech device cloud 63, the speech device cloud 63 send an elevator control result to the speech device 62 according to the elevator control information, and the speech device 62 broadcasts a notification message according to the elevator control result, so as to enable the user 61 to determine whether go out or not based on the notification message.

The elevator state may include a floor that the elevator currently reaches, a state whether the elevator door is opened or closed and the like.

The elevator control method provided by the present embodiment may further include a reverse data transmission process through which the speech device can be controlled to notify the user of the elevator state.

The implementation of controlling an elevator indoors or remotely can further improve safety of the elevator in use. For example, a user may reserve an elevator indoors though a speech device before going out, and thus avoids waiting in front of the elevator and saves user's time. In addition, when there are many users using the elevator, waiting at an elevator entrance will also cause people gathering, and when this happens during a period of infectious disease outbreak, the people gathering cause by waiting for the elevator will also accelerate the spread of the epidemic.

Specifically, in the method provided by the present embodiment, the speech device may also be preset. For example, when the speech device is a user's device, the user may set a home address, so as to enable the speech device to obtain address information. For another example, information of an elevator bound to the speech device may also be set by relevant staff.

In an embodiment, when the speech device cloud performs the method provided by the present embodiment, the user may set the speech device, and the speech device may send address information included in setting information to the speech device cloud through a network, so as to enable the speech device cloud to receive the address information.

In another embodiment, when the speech device performs the method provided by the present embodiment, information of an elevator bound to the speech device may be directly set, so as to enable the speech device to record information of the elevator it needs to control.

In practical applications, the speech device cloud may determine the elevator to be controlled according to the received address information and record a corresponding relationship between the speech device and the elevator. For example, the information of the speech device may be determined according to a received message containing address information, where the information may be a speech device identification, or an account for logging into the speech device, and the speech device cloud may record a corresponding relationship between the identification or the account and the elevator needs to be controlled.

In an embodiment, the elevator corresponding to the speech device may also be directly set. For example, when the speech device is disposed in a floor or in an elevator, the elevator controlled by the speech device may be directly set by a staff. The speech device may send this information to the speech device cloud, and send it to the elevator control cloud through the speech device cloud, and then the information is maintained by the elevator control cloud.

In an implementation, the speech device may also determine the corresponding relationship between itself and the elevator according to the received elevator information.

FIG. 8 is a diagram of a fifth application scenario illustrated in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 8, the method provided by the present embodiment may be applied in the application scenario shown in FIG. 8.

A user 81 may interact with a speech device 82, the speech device 82 may interact with a speech device cloud 83 through a network, the speech device cloud 83 may interact with the elevator 84 through a network, and the speech device cloud 83 may directly control the elevator 84.

For example, a speech device B sends configuration information to the speech device cloud, where the information includes an address being Address2, and the sent information may also include sending source information, i.e. information of the speech device B.

Further, the information of the speech device B may be an identification of the speech device B, or may be an account information for logging into the speech device B, to which the present embodiment defines no limitations.

The speech device cloud may determine an elevator 2 as the elevator to be controlled according to the address of Address2, and record a corresponding relationship between the speech device B and the elevator 2.

For example, the speech device cloud may maintain a mapping table including information of each speech device and the elevator it controls, such as a corresponding relationship between a speech device identification and an elevator identification.

Specifically, the speech device cloud may also determine floor information of the speech device according to the received address information, and record the corresponding relationship between the speech device and the floor. For example, a mapping table, in which a corresponding relationship between the speech device identification and the floor is recorded, may be maintained.

FIG. 9 is a diagram of a sixth application scenario illustrated in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 9, the method provided in the present embodiment may also be applied in the application scenario shown in FIG. 9.

The user 91 may interact with a speech device 92, the speech device 92 may directly interact with an elevator 93 to realize control of the elevator 93.

The speech device 92 and the elevator 93 may be disposed as a whole, or disposed separately. When being disposed as a whole, the speech device 92 and the elevator 93 may be connected in a wired manner; when being disposed separately, the two may be connected in a wireless manner.

For example, when the elevator information received by the speech device indicates an elevator 3, the speech device may record the information that the elevator that it needs to control is the elevator 3.

Step 703, obtaining a user instruction, where the user instruction is determined by the speech device based on a user speech content.

The implementation of step 703 is similar to that of the step 201, and isn't repeated herein.

Continue referring to FIG. 8, as shown in FIG. 8, the speech device cloud 83 and the elevator 84 may be connected through a network. After determining an elevator control instruction, the speech device cloud may directly send the elevator control instruction to an elevator, so as to realize a non-contact control of the elevator.

Referring to FIG. 9, as shown in FIG. 9, the speech device 92 and the elevator 93 may be connected in a wired or wireless manner. After determining an elevator control instruction, the speech device may directly send the elevator control instruction to an elevator, so as to realize a non-contact control of the elevator.

Specifically, an extension module may be disposed in the elevator to recognize the elevator control instruction, and control the elevator based on a recognition result.

Further, the speech device cloud or the speech device may determine an elevator to be controlled according to a corresponding relationship between the speech device and the elevator and the speech device that sends the user instruction. The corresponding relationship may be a corresponding relationship determined by the speech device cloud in steps 701 and 702.

For example, when identification information of the speech device that sends the user instruction is B, the speech device cloud may search a pre-determined corresponding relationship, and determine that the elevator corresponding to the speech device B is the elevator 2, thereby determining the elevator 2 as the elevator to be controlled.

In practical applications, the speech device cloud may send an elevator control instruction to the elevator to be controlled, so as to enable the elevator to be controlled executes the instruction.

For another example, when an elevator 3 is recorded as the elevator to be controlled in the speech device that obtains the user instruction, the speech device may directly send the elevator control instruction to the elevator 3.

In the method provided by the present embodiment, the elevator control instruction obtained through conversion may be a self-owned instruction of the elevator, where the elevator control protocol may be used to convert the user instruction to the self-owned instruction. The self-owned instruction may be an existing instruction configured to control the elevator. For example, when the user presses a floor button 1, a control instruction generated or obtained by an elevator controller based on the pressing operation may be the self-owned instruction. For another example, when the user in a floor presses an up button, a control instruction generated or obtained by an elevator controller based on the operation may be the self-owned instruction. A reconstruction workload of the elevator side can be reduced by this way, thereby improving the efficiency of implementing the elevator control method.

When the speech device cloud recognizes a user instruction as a reservation instruction, before the speech device cloud sends the elevator control instruction to the elevator, the method may further include:

recognizing time information included in the reservation instruction; and determining timing of sending the elevator control instruction according to the time information.

When the speech device cloud recognizes a user instruction as a reservation instruction, the speech device may recognize the time information included in the reservation instruction, specifically, the time information that the user needs to use the elevator. For example, a recognition result may be “in five minutes”.

When the speech content spoken by the user is “I'm going downstairs at six thirty”, then the intelligent cloud device may recognize the “six thirty” included in the instruction.

When the user instruction is a reservation instruction, the speech device cloud or the speech device controls the timing of sending the elevator control instruction, and thus designing logics in the elevator control cloud to control timing of the elevator is not required, thereby reducing the design complexity of the elevator control cloud.

Step 706A, receiving elevator control information sent by the elevator, and sending an elevator control result to the speech device according to the elevator control information, so as to enable the speech device to broadcast a notification message according to the elevator control result.

Continue referring to the FIG. 8, in the method provided by the present embodiment, the elevator 84 may also send elevator control information to the speech device cloud 83, the speech device cloud 83 may determine an elevator control result based on the elevator control information and send the elevator control result to the speech device 82, and the speech device 82 broadcasts a notification message according to the elevator control result, so as to enable the user 81 to determine whether go out or not based on the notification message.

Step 706B, receiving elevator control information and broadcasting a notification message according to the elevator control information.

Continue referring to FIG. 9, in the method provided by the embodiment, the elevator 93 may also send elevator control information to the speech device 92, and the speech device 92 may broadcast a notification message based on the elevator control information, such as “first floor is arrived”, so as to remind the user a floor arrived currently.

This implementation of controlling an elevator indoors or remotely can further improve safety of the elevator in use. For example, a user may reserve an elevator indoors though a speech device before going out, and thus avoids waiting in front of the elevator and saves user's time. In addition, when there are many users using the elevator, waiting at an elevator entrance will also cause people gathering, and when this happens during a period of infectious disease outbreak, the people gathering cause by waiting for the elevator will also accelerate the spread of the epidemic.

Further, the speech device may obtain the user instruction by converting the speech content into a text content. A semantic recognition algorithm may be preset in the speech device, so as to convert the speech content spoken by the user into the text content.

For example, the user may wake up the speech device and speak a speech content to it. For example, the user may wake up the speech device by an instruction “xiaodu xiaodu”, and thereafter, the user may speak a speech content, “I'm going to the 8th floor”. The speech device can convert the speech content into a text content “I'm going to the 8th floor”.

Step 1002, sending the user instruction to a speech device cloud, so as to enable the speech device cloud to recognize the user instruction and controls an elevator according to a recognition result.

The speech device may send the recognized user instruction to the speech device cloud.

Further, the speech device cloud may recognize the user instruction, specifically, recognize an intention of the instruction. When the user instruction is an instruction related to the elevator control, the speech device cloud may control the elevator according to the recognition result.

In practical applications, a recognition algorithm may be provided in advance in the speech device cloud, so as to recognize the user instruction and determine a user intention, thereby obtaining the recognition result.

Specifically, an instruction dictionary may be preset, where the instruction dictionary includes instructions related to the elevator control. For example, “I'm going to the 8th floor”, “I'm going to the garage”, and for another example, “I'm going out in 5 minutes”. These instructions may be used to train the speech device, specifically, to train a built-in semantic recognition algorithm of the speech device, so as to enable the speech device to recognize the corresponding content after the user speaks a corresponding sentence.

indoor, on a floor where the elevator is disposed, and inside the elevator.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart of an elevator control method illustrated in the sixth exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 12, an elevator control method provided by the present disclosure includes:

Step 1201, receiving an elevator control instruction sent by a speech device cloud, where the elevator control instruction is obtained by the speech device cloud through recognizing a received user instruction.

The method provided by the present embodiment may be performed by an electronic device with a computing capability, where the electronic device may be, for example, the speech device cloud 1A3 shown in FIG. 1A. The speech device cloud 1A3 may be a single electronic device, or may be composed of multiple electronic devices, for example, may be a distributed cluster server. The specific form thereof may be one or several computers

Specifically, the user may speak a speech content, and a speech device may recognize the speech content and determine a user instruction. The speech device may send the recognized user instruction to the speech device cloud, and the speech device cloud may recognize the user instruction, specifically may recognize an intention of the instruction.

Further, the speech device cloud may send an elevator control instruction to an elevator control cloud according to a recognition result. A recognition algorithm may be preset in the speech device cloud to recognize the user instruction, and thus determine a user intention and obtain a recognition result.

Step 1202, controlling an elevator according to the elevator control instruction.

In practical applications, the elevator control cloud may control an elevator according to the received elevator control instruction.

The elevator control cloud may convert the received elevator control instruction into a self-owned instruction and send the self-owned instruction to an elevator, so as to enable the elevator to execute the instruction, thereby realizing a non-contact control of the elevator.

Specifically, the self-owned instruction may be an existing instruction configured to control the elevator for example, when the user presses a floor button 1, a control instruction generated or obtained by an elevator controller based on the pressing operation may be the self-owned instruction. For another example, when the user in a floor presses an up button, a control instruction generated or obtained by an elevator controller based on the operation may be the self-owned instruction. The reconstruction workload of the elevator side can be reduced by this way, thereby improving the efficiency of implementing the elevator control method.

Further, the elevation instruction includes information of the speech device, for example, may include a speech device identification. The elevator control cloud may also prestore a corresponding relationship between the speech device and the elevator, so as to determine an elevator to be controlled according to the abovementioned corresponding relationship and the information of the speech device after receiving the elevator control instruction, and then control the elevator to be controlled according to the elevator control instruction.

The method provided by the present embodiment is used to control the elevator, and the method is performed by a device provided with the method provided by the present embodiment, the device is generally implemented in a hardware and/or software manner.

The elevator control method provided by the present embodiment includes: receiving an elevator control instruction sent by a speech device cloud, where the elevator control instruction is obtained by the speech device cloud through recognizing a received user instruction; and controlling an elevator according to the elevator control instruction. The method provided by the present embodiment enables the user to control an elevator through a speech device without touching the elevator, thereby reducing potential safety risk caused by multiple people touching the elevator.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart of an elevator control method illustrated in the seventh exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 13, the elevator control method provided by the present disclosure, includes:

Step 1301, receiving address information and information of a speech device sent by a speech device cloud.

The method provided by the present embodiment may be performed by an electronic device with a computing capability, where the electronic device may be, for example, the speech device cloud 1A3 shown in FIG. 1A. The speech device cloud 1A3 may be a single electronic device, or may be composed of multiple electronic devices, for example, may be a distributed cluster server. The specific form thereof may be one or several computers.

Specifically, in the method provided by the present embodiment, a speech device may be preset. For example, when the speech device is a user's device, then the user may set a home address, so as to enable the speech device to obtain address information. After that, the speech device may send the address information to the speech device cloud through a network, so as to enable the speech device cloud to receive the address information.

Further, after receiving the address information, information of the speech device which sends the address information and the address information may be sent together to an elevator control cloud, so as to enable the elevator control cloud to receive the address information and the information of the speech device.

In practical applications, the elevator corresponding to the speech device may be set directly, for example, when the speech device is disposed in a floor or in an elevator, a staff may directly set the elevator controlled by the speech device. The speech device may send this information to the speech device cloud, and then the speech device cloud send it to an elevator control cloud, and then the information is maintained by the elevator control cloud.

Step 1302, determining a preset corresponding relationship between the speech device and the elevator according to the address information.

In practical applications, after receiving the information of the speech device and its associated address information, the elevator control cloud may determine the elevator corresponding to the speech device, that is, an elevator that the speech device needs to control, according to the address information.

The elevator control cloud may also record the corresponding relationship between the speech device and the elevator, for example, the elevator control cloud may maintain a mapping table including information of each speech devices and the elevators it controls, such as a corresponding relationship between a speech device identification and an elevator identification.

For example, address information of the speech device A is Address1, and the elevator corresponding to the address is elevator 1, where the corresponding elevator refers to an elevator used at the address where the speech device A is located. The speech device cloud may send the address information of the speech device A, Address1, to the elevator control cloud, and the elevator control cloud determines that the elevator corresponding to the speech device A is elevator 1, and stores a corresponding relationship between the speech device A and the elevator 1.

Step 1303, receiving an elevator control instruction sent by the speech device cloud, where the elevator control instruction is obtained by the speech device cloud through recognizing a received user instruction.

The implementation of step 1303 is similar to that of step 1201, and is not repeated herein.

Step 1304, converting the elevator control instruction into a self-owned instruction according to a preset conversion relationship between the elevator control instruction and the self-owned instruction.

Further, the conversion relationship between the elevator control instruction and the self-owned instruction may be preset in the elevator control cloud. The conversion relationship may be a corresponding relationship between one elevator control instruction and one self-owned instruction, or may be a corresponding relationship between an instruction unit and a self-owned instruction, where one or more instruction units may constitute one elevator control instruction.

In practical applications, when the conversion relationship is a corresponding relationship between an instruction unit and a self-owned instruction, the elevator control cloud may divide the elevator control instruction into multiple instruction units and then convert the elevator control instruction into the self-owned instruction according to the corresponding relationship between the instruction unit and the self-owned instruction, in that case, one elevator control instruction may be converted into multiple own instructions.

The self-owned instruction may be an existing instruction configured to control the elevator. For example, when the user presses a floor button 1, a control instruction generated or obtained by an elevator controller based on the pressing operation may be the self-owned instruction. For another example, when the user in a floor presses an up button, a control instruction generated or obtained by an elevator controller based on the operation may be the self-owned instruction. The reconstruction workload of the elevator side can be reduced by this way, thereby improving the efficiency of implementing the elevator control method.

Step 1305, issuing the self-owned instruction to an elevator, so as to enable the elevator to execute the self-owned instruction.

The elevator control cloud may send the self-owned instruction to an elevator, so as to enable the elevator to execute the self-owned instruction, thereby realizing a non-contact control of the elevator.

Specifically, the elevator control instruction may include information of the speech device, for example, may include a speech device identification. The elevator control cloud may determine an elevator to be controlled according to a corresponding relationship between the speech device and the elevator and the information of the speech device. The corresponding relationship may be a corresponding relationship determined by the elevator control cloud by using the address information and the information of the speech device received in step 1301. For example, when identification information of the speech device included in the elevator control instruction is A, the elevator control cloud may search a pre-determined corresponding relationship and determine that the elevator corresponding to the speech device A is an elevator 1, so as to determine the elevator 1 as the elevator to be controlled.

Further, the elevator control cloud may send the self-owned instruction to the determined elevator to be controlled, so as to enable the elevator to execute the self-owned instruction.

Step 1306, receiving an elevator state sent by the elevator, and sending elevator control information to the speech device cloud according to the elevator state, so as to enable the speech device cloud to control the speech device to broadcast a notification message according to the elevator control information.

In practical applications, the elevator may send an elevator state to the elevator control cloud, the elevator control cloud may determine an elevator control information based on the elevator state and send the elevator control information to the speech device cloud, the speech device cloud sends an elevator control result to the speech device according to the elevator control information, and the speech device broadcasts a notification message according to the elevator control result, so that the user can decide whether go out or not based on the notification message.

The information broadcasted by the speech device may be “the elevator has arrived, please go out”.
