This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 from European Patent Application No. 18180671.2, filed Jun. 29, 2018, the entire disclosure of which is herein expressly incorporated by reference.
The invention relates to a method for term-dependent output of information based on a voice input to a specific group, and to a system for term-dependent output of information based on a voice input to a specific group.
The object on which the invention is based is the provision of a method for outputting information based on a voice input to a group and of a system for outputting information based on a voice input to a group, each of which has improved properties, in particular more functionalities, and/or is user friendly.
The invention achieves the object by providing a method and a system for term-dependent output of information based on a voice input to a specific group in accordance with the claimed invention.
The, in particular automatic, method according to the invention for term-dependent output of information based on a voice input to a specific group has the steps of: a) capturing, in particular automatically capturing, the voice input; b) analyzing, in particular automatically analyzing, the captured voice input for the presence of a group-specific key term associated, in particular logically, with the specific group; and c) on detection, or in the presence, of the group-specific key term in the analyzed voice input, outputting, in particular automatically outputting, the information based on the voice input to the specific group.
The method allows the information to be output to the specific group, in particular without a user or speaker, in particular by whom the voice input can be or may have been spoken, needing to select the specific group for this purpose by means of manual operation. Therefore, the method is user friendly. In particular, the method can allow the user or speaker to have his hands free for another task, in particular at the same time as or during the voice input.
In particular, the information can be relevant, in particular intended, only or exclusively for the specific group. The outputting of the information to the specific group can be referred to as selective output. In other words: the information does not need to be output to another group not associated with the group-specific key term. Therefore, the other group does not need to be unnecessarily bothered, in particular with the information that is not relevant to it.
If a group-specific key term is not present or not detected in the voice input, no information needs to be output, in particular to the specific group.
A minimum volume can be prescribed that a captured sound needs to achieve in order to be deemed a voice input. Additionally or alternatively, the capture of the voice input can be controlled or activated or triggered by a command, in particular a voice command.
In particular, it is possible to constantly or continually or continuously capture or monitor whether the voice input and possibly the voice command, where provided for, takes place. Put another way: it is possible to listen to whether a sound, in particular at the prescribed minimum volume, is present. In other words: every voice input can be captured.
The voice input can have or be a word or a syllable or a sound.
The voice input and possibly the voice command, where provided for, can be or may have been spoken by the user or speaker.
The group-specific key term can be a designation for the specific group or a term different from the specific group designation that can be in the context of the specific group or of at least one specific property of the specific group.
In particular, the voice input can have multiple different group-specific key terms. Each individual group-specific key term can be associated with a single specific group or with multiple, different, specific groups. In particular, a first group-specific key term can be associated with a first specific group and/or a second group-specific key term can be associated with a second specific group, which is different from the first. Additionally or alternatively, a third group-specific key term can be associated with both the first specific group and the second specific group.
The specific group can have a single or multiple group member(s). A group member can be a natural person, or a human being, or a device, in particular a computer or a memory, in particular for storing the information based on the voice input, such as for example a cloud memory, or a machine. A group member, in particular a natural person, can be a member in multiple, different, specific groups. In particular, a group member can be a member of the first specific group and a member of the second specific group.
In addition, the specific group can be defined by virtue of at least one group member of the specific group being able to perform an action or activity referred to by the voice input and/or the information. The group-specific key term can be an action term or an activity term. In particular, a current action or activity, in particular of a natural person, or a human being, can be detected. Based on the detected action, the natural person can be associated with or assigned to the specific group, in particular regrouping or a change of group can take place.
The information can have or be the voice input itself. Additionally or alternatively, the information can be ascertained based on or in response to the voice input, in particular by processing the voice input further, and/or the voice input can be supplemented, in particular automatically. In particular, the output information can inform the specific group about an action or activity to be carried out.
Step b) can be carried out at the same time as step a) and/or at a time thereafter. Step c) can be carried out at the same time as step b) and/or at a time thereafter.
The method can be repeated, in particular multiple times, for at least one further voice input.
In one development of the invention, the specific group is a garden and/or forestry worker group, in particular a felling group, and the group-specific key term is a garden and/or forestry term, in particular a felling term. By way of example, the felling term can be “Tree falling” and/or “Everyone stand clear”. On detection of the felling term, the felling group can learn from output of the information that a tree is falling and/or where the tree is falling and hence it is necessary to pay attention to the tree and/or that the felled tree needs to be debranched. Additionally or alternatively, the felling term can be “Tree hanging”. On detection of the felling term, the felling group can learn from output of the information that a tree is hanging and/or where the tree is hanging and hence it is necessary to pay attention to the tree and/or that the hanging tree needs to be removed, in particular dragged off. A group member of the garden and/or forestry worker group, in particular the felling group, can be a garden and/or forestry worker, in particular a felling worker, and/or an operator, in particular a driver, of a towing vehicle, in particular an accident prevention regulation towing rig and/or a harvester.
Additionally or alternatively, the specific group is a hauler group and the group-specific key term is a hauler term. By way of example, the hauler term can be “Haul tree”. On detection of the hauler term, the hauler group can learn from output of the information that a tree needs to be hauled and/or where the tree needs to be hauled. A group member of the hauler group can be an operator, in particular a driver, of a hauler vehicle, in particular a towing crane and/or a tractor and/or a forwarder and/or a harvester.
Additionally or alternatively, the specific group is a forestry and/or work management group and the group-specific key term is a forestry and/or work management term. By way of example, the forestry and/or work management term can be “Tree felled and hauled”. On detection of the forestry and/or work management term, the forestry and/or work management group can learn from output of the information that a tree and/or which tree needs to be denoted as felled and hauled, in particular in the work schedule. Additionally or alternatively, the forestry and/or work management term can be a wood data term, such as for example “medium diameter”, “length”, “wood type” and/or “wood quality”, in particular during processing of a felled tree. On detection of the forestry and/or work management term(s), the forestry and/or work management group can learn, in particular store, the wood data from output of the information. A group member of the forestry and/or work management group can be a forestry commissioner and/or a job manager and/or a job provider and/or a forestry operator.
Additionally or alternatively, the specific group is a rescue group and the group-specific key term is an emergency term and/or a rescue term. By way of example, the emergency term and/or the rescue term can be “Help”. On detection of the emergency term and/or the rescue term, the rescue group can learn from output of the information that an emergency or an accident and/or where the emergency has occurred and/or that the user or speaker needs help, in particular first or medical aid. A group member of the rescue group can be a rescuer, in particular a first aider.
In one development of the invention, the method has the step of: ascertaining, in particular automatically ascertaining, a direction from an output location to a capture location. The information has the ascertained direction. This makes it possible to learn the direction in which the capture location is situated in relation to the output location. In particular, the capture location can be a location or a position at which the voice input is and/or has been captured. The output location can be a location or a position at which the information is output. The direction can have or be a point of the compass and/or a route. In particular, the direction can have a value and/or an amount. In particular, the direction can be ascertained from a difference between position coordinates of the capture location and position coordinates of the output location. The position coordinates can be ascertained by means of a local position determination system and/or a satellite position determination system.
In one development of the invention, the method has the steps of: ascertaining, in particular automatically ascertaining, a distance or an interval between a capture location and an output location and, if the ascertained distance is below a distance limit value, outputting, in particular automatically outputting, the information in group-aspecific fashion. In particular, the information, although inherently relevant only to the specific group, can be or become relevant to non-members of the specific group too in a certain proximity to the capture location. The group-aspecific output in the event of the ascertained distance being below the distance limit value allows the information to be learned or gathered independently of group. In particular, the capture location can be a location or a position at which the voice input is and/or has been captured. The output location can be a location or a position at which the information could possibly be output. The distance limit value can have a value that corresponds to a typical height of a tree without or plus a safety factor, in particular of 50 percent (%) or 100%, and/or that corresponds to a typical radius of an action area or an activity area of the user or speaker. The information can have the ascertained distance. In particular, the distance can have a value and/or an amount. Additionally or alternatively, if the ascertained distance is not below, in particular if it is above, the distance limit value, the information can be output only or exclusively in group-specific fashion. As a further addition or alternative, a, in particular the, direction from the output location to the capture location can be ascertained and, if the ascertained direction is in a, in particular defined, direction range, the information can be output in group-aspecific fashion. If the ascertained direction is not in the direction range, the information can be output only or exclusively in group-specific fashion.
In one refinement of the invention, the distance limit value is in a range from 30 meters (m) to 150 m.
In one refinement of the invention, the distance is ascertained by means of a time-of-flight method, in particular a time-of-flight measurement of a radio signal. In particular, a signal can be exchanged between the capture location and the output location and the interchanged signal can be taken as a basis for ascertaining the distance.
Additionally or alternatively, the distance can be ascertained from a difference between position coordinates of the capture location and position coordinates of the output location. The position coordinates can be ascertained by means of a local position determination system and/or a satellite position determination system.
In one development of the invention, the method has the step of: wirelessly transmitting, in particular automatically transmitting, the captured voice input and/or the information, in particular from a capture location to an output location. In particular, a radio signal, in particular a Bluetooth signal and/or a WLAN signal and/or a mobile radio signal and/or a satellite radio signal, can be used for transmission. Additionally, a transmission signal, in particular the radio signal, can be used or exploited for direction ascertainment and/or for distance ascertainment, in particular by means of the time-of-flight method, where provided for.
In one development of the invention, step c) involves the information being output audibly and/or visually and/or haptically. This can allow relatively good perception of the information. In particular, the visual output can comprise or be display. The visual output can comprise projection or insertion into a field of vision, in particular of a natural person. The haptic output can comprise vibration.
In one development of the invention, the method has the step of: d) outputting, in particular automatically outputting, further information based on the output information to a, in particular the, speaker of the voice input and/or at a, in particular the, capture location. In particular, the further information can be ascertained, in particular automatically and/or by the specific group, based on or in response to the output information, in particular by processing the output information further. By way of example, when the information, in particular the voice input, “Haul tree” is output to the hauler group, the further information can be “hauler vehicle empty”, in particular if the hauler vehicle is empty. The speaker of the voice input can learn from output of the further information that the hauler vehicle is empty. Additionally or alternatively, when the information is output in the form of wood data to the forestry and/or work management group, the further information can be a work instruction, such as for example assortment sustainment. The speaker of the voice input, in particular a group member of the garden and/or forestry worker group, can learn from output of the further information how a tree needs to be handled. As a further addition or alternative, when the information “Help” is output to the rescue group, the further information can be safety advice, such as for example a rescue point. The speaker of the voice input can learn from output of the further information how and/or where he can get help. In particular, the further information can be referred to as a reaction, in particular a response. As a further addition or alternative, the further information can be wirelessly transmitted from a, in particular the, output location to the capture location. As a further addition or alternative, the capture location can be a location or a position at which the voice input is and/or has been captured. As a further addition or alternative, the output location can be a location or a position at which the information is and/or has been output. As a further addition or alternative, step d) can involve the information being output audibly and/or visually and/or haptically. As a further addition or alternative, step d) can be carried out at the same time as step c) and/or at a time thereafter.

Also, the method has the step of: d) outputting further information Info′ based on the output information Info1, Info2 to a speaker of the voice input SE and/or at a, in particular the, capture location EO.
In the exemplary embodiment shown, one of the members of the garden and/or forestry worker group GFG speaks the voice input SE with the group-specific key term SB, or the garden and/or forestry term GFB “Tree falling”, at the same time as or during the felling of the tree 20.
The voice input SE is captured, in particular at the capture location EO.
The captured voice input SE is wirelessly transmitted to, in particular possible, output locations AO1, AO2.
The other member of the garden and/or forestry worker group GFG, or his output location AO2, is further than the distance limit value EGW away from the capture location EO. Therefore, the, in particular received, voice input SE is analyzed there.
The group-specific key term SB, or the garden and/or forestry term GFB “Tree falling”, is detected.
Therefore, the information Info2 based on the voice input SE is output to the specific group SG, or the garden and/or forestry worker group GFG, in particular to the other member of the garden and/or forestry worker group GFG.
In detail, the information Info2 has the voice input SE itself. Additionally, the information Info2, or the voice input SE, is supplemented with the word “warning”.

The forestry and/or work management group FAG, or the work management control center, is further than the distance limit value EGW away from the capture location EO. Therefore, the, in particular received, voice input SE is analyzed there.
Since the voice input SE contains no forestry and/or work management term and therefore the latter is not detected, no information is output to the forestry and/or work management group FAG, or in the work management control centre.
The emergency call control center is further than the distance limit value EGW away from the capture location EO. Therefore, the, in particular received, voice input SE is analyzed there.
Since the voice input SE contains no emergency term and no rescue term and these are therefore not detected, no information is output in the emergency call control center.
The first aider, or the driver of the hauler vehicle, or his output location AO1, is less than the distance limit value EGW away from the capture location EO. Therefore, the information Info1 is output to him there in group-aspecific fashion.
In detail, the information Info1 has the voice input SE itself. Additionally, the information Info1, or the voice input SE, is supplemented with the word “warning”. As a further addition, the direction RI1 from the output location AO1 to the capture location EO is ascertained and the information Info1 has the ascertained direction RI1, in the exemplary embodiment shown the point of the compass “South West”.
In particular, the first aider, or the driver of the hauler vehicle, is haptically made aware that the information Info1 is output. The information Info1 is output audibly. In addition, the information Info1 is output visually; in particular, the words “Tree falling, warning!” and an arrow pointing in the direction RI1 of the capture location EO, or of the tree 20, are inserted into the field of vision of the first aider, or the driver of the hauler vehicle.
In the exemplary embodiment shown, the distance is ascertained first and then, if at all, the voice input is analyzed. In alternative exemplary embodiments, the voice input can be analyzed first and then, if at all, the distance can be ascertained. In further alternative exemplary embodiments, the distance does not need or is not able to be ascertained.
As the exemplary embodiments shown, and explained above, demonstrate, the invention provides a method for term-dependent output of information based on a voice input to a specific group and a system for term-dependent output of information based on a voice input to a specific group, each of which has improved properties, in particular more functionalities, and is therefore user friendly.
The foregoing disclosure has been set forth merely to illustrate the invention and is not intended to be limiting. Since modifications of the disclosed embodiments incorporating the spirit and substance of the invention may occur to persons skilled in the art, the invention should be construed to include everything within the scope of the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
