DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described in more detail in conjunction with figures and embodiments to make technical solutions of the present disclosure clear and more apparent.


Obviously, the described embodiments are partial embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those having ordinary skill in the art without making inventive efforts all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.



FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a first embodiment of a music recommending method according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the embodiment comprises the following specific implementation mode.


At 101 is obtained speech input by a user each time while the user is performing speech chat with a smart device having a music playing function.


The user may chat with the smart device in a speech manner. The speech input by the user each time may be processed in a manner as shown in 102.



102 relates to, if the user's mood can be parsed from the speech obtained each time, recommending music matched with the mood to the user.


It is possible to process the speech input by the user each time by using current technologies such as speech recognition and semantic analysis, and if the user's mood can be parsed from the obtained speech, recommend music matched with the mood to the user.


For example, if the speech input by the user is “hello”, it is impossible to parse therefrom to obtain the user's mood, and correspondingly to recommend music to the user, but play matched chat answer information to the user according to the prior art.


Again for example, if the speech input by the user is “separated from boyfriend yesterday” or “disappointed in love again, already the third time”, the user's mood can be parsed as “disappointed” because of “emotion”, and correspondingly, “healing” and “soothing” music may be recommended to the user.


Again for example, if the speech input by the user is “I did not finish work in time yesterday and was scolded by the leader again yesterday”, the user's mood can be parsed as “upset” because of “career”, and correspondingly, “inspirational” or “rock and roll” type music may be recommend to the user.


Again for example, if the speech input by the user is “work overtime three consecutive days, too tired”, the user's mood can be parsed as “tired” and “fatigued”, and correspondingly, “brisk” and “relaxing” music may be recommend to the user.


In practical application, after the user's mood is parsed from the speech, it is possible to recommend music matched with the mood whatever the mood is, or recommend matched music only for some moods, or recommend no matched music for other moods, but play chat answer information matched with the speech according to the prior art.


Since it is impossible that the user wants to listen to muse in any mood, and he might only want to chat normally in some moods, it is feasible to, according to actual situations, preset moods in which music needs to be recommended, and moods in which music needn't be recommended.


For example, when the user's mood is parsed as “happy” and “exited”, it is possible to chat normally, instead of recommending happy music.


In addition, it is feasible to preset music corresponding to each type of mood for which music needs to be recommended. As such, when the user's mood is parsed, if it is determined that the parsed mood is the mood for which music needs to be recommended, music corresponding to the parsed mood may be recommended to the user.


Recommending music to the user usually refers to playing the music directly to the user.


Preferably, a corresponding music list may be set for each type of mood for which music needs to be recommended. The music list at least includes one piece of music, i.e., the music list may only include one piece of music or may include multiple pieces of music, as shown in Table 1.









TABLE 1





Music list corresponding to a certain mood

















Music 1



Music 2



Music 3



Music 4










As shown in Table 1, assuming that the music list corresponding to a certain mood includes four pieces of music: music 1, music 2, music 3 and music 4 respectively, the multiple pieces of music may be played to the user in turn.


Music played to the user is usually a song.


Based on the above introduction, FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a second embodiment of a music recommending method according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the embodiment comprises the following specific implementation mode.


At 201, obtain speech input by a user each time while the user is performing speech chat with a smart device having a music playing function.


At 202, determine whether the user's mood can be parsed from the speech obtained each time, performing 203 if no, and performing 204 if yes.


It is possible to process the speech obtained each time by using current technologies such as speech recognition and semantic analysis, to thereby determine whether the user's mood can be parsed therefrom, and subsequently employ different processing manners respectively according to different determination results.


At 203, play chat answer information matched with the speech, and then end up the process.


If the user's mood cannot be parsed from the speech, the chat answer information matched with the speech may be played according to the prior art.


At 204, determine whether the parsed mood is the mood for which music needs to be recommended, perform 205 if yes, or perform 203 if no.


A corresponding music list may be set for each type of mood for which music needs to be recommended. The music list at least includes one piece of music.


As such, if the parsed mood does not have a corresponding music list, it may be determined that the parsed mood is a mood for which music needn't be recommended, then 203 may be performed, namely, the chat answer information matched with the speech is played according to the prior art.


If the parsed mood has a corresponding music list, it may be determined that the parsed mood is a mood for which music needs to be recommended, and then 205 may be performed.


At 205, play music that is in the music list and corresponds to the parsed mood to the user, and then end up the process.


Preferably, before music is played, a small section of speech corresponding to the user-input speech may be played first, and the speech content may be preset.


A specific application example is presented below:


The user-input speech is:


“How bored recently! Stay at home every day”;


Content played by the smart device is:


“Life is full of interests and fun. The outside world is colorful. Why not go out for a trip. Now play the song ‘meaning of travel’ for you.”


As appreciated, for ease of description, the aforesaid method embodiments are all described as a combination of a series of actions, but those skilled in the art should appreciated that the present disclosure is not limited to the described order of actions because some steps may be performed in other orders or simultaneously according to the present disclosure. Secondly, those skilled in the art should appreciate the embodiments described in the description all belong to preferred embodiments, and the involved actions and modules are not necessarily requisite for the present disclosure.


In addition, in the above embodiments, different emphasis is placed on respective embodiments, and reference may be made to related depictions in other embodiments for portions not detailed in a certain embodiment.


To sum up, according to the solutions of the above method embodiments, it is possible to determine whether the user's mood can be parsed from the user-input speech obtained each time while the user is performing speech chat with the smart device having a music playing function, and if yes, recommend music matched with the user's mood to the user. As compared with the prior art, in the solutions of the above method embodiments, it is possible to actively capture the user's emotion in language during chat, thereby obtain the user's mood, and then actively recommend music matched with his mood to the user, namely, actively recommend music meeting the user's current mood, thereby not only better resonating with the user, but also satisfying the user's demands for music, and improving the intelligence of the device.


The above introduces the method embodiments. The solution of the present disclosure will be further described through an apparatus embodiment.



FIG. 3 is a structural schematic diagram of components of a music recommending apparatus according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the apparatus comprises: an obtaining unit 301 and a recommending unit 302.


The obtaining unit 301 is configured to obtain speech input by a user each time while the user is performing speech chat with a smart device having a music playing function, and send the speech obtained each time to the recommending unit 302.


The recommending unit 302 is configured to, if the user's mood can be parsed from the speech obtained each time, recommend music matched with the parsed mood to the user.


The user may chat with the smart device in a speech manner. The recommending unit 302 may process the speech input by the user each time by using current technologies such as speech recognition and semantic analysis, and if the user's mood can be parsed therefrom, recommend music matched with the parsed mood to the user.


For example, if the speech input by the user is “hello”, it is impossible to parse therefrom to obtain the user's mood, and correspondingly to recommend music to the user, but play matched chat answer information to the user according to the prior art.


Again for example, if the speech input by the user is “separated from boyfriend yesterday” or “disappointed in love again, already the third time”, the user's mood can be parsed as “disappointed” because of “emotion”, and correspondingly, “healing” and “soothing” music may be recommended to the user.


In practical application, after the recommending unit 302 parses to obtain the user's mood from the speech, it is possible to recommend music matched with the mood whatever the mood is, or recommend matched music only for some moods, or recommend no matched music for other moods, but process according to the prior art.


Correspondingly, before recommending music matched with the parsed mood to the user, the recommending unit 302 may first determine whether the parsed mood is a mood for which music needs to be recommended, and if yes, recommend music matched with the parsed mood to the user, or if no, play the chat answer information matched with the speech according to the prior art.


In addition, the apparatus shown in FIG. 3 may further comprise a pre-processing unit 303.


The pre-processing unit 303 is configured to set corresponding music respectively for each type of mood for which music needs to be recommended. Preferably, the pre-processing unit 303 may set a corresponding music list for each type of mood for which music needs to be recommended. The music list at least includes one piece of music.


Recommending music to the user usually refers to playing the music directly to the user.


As such, the recommending unit 302 may first determine whether the user's mood can be parsed from the speech obtained each time, and if no, play the chat answer information matched with the speech according to the prior art, or if yes, further determine whether the parsed mood is a mood for which music needs to be recommended, if no, play the chat answer information matched with the speech according to the prior art, or if yes, play music that is in the music list and corresponds to the parsed mood to the user. Furthermore, if the music list includes multiple pieces of music, said multiple pieces of music may be played to the user in turn.


Reference may be made to corresponding depictions in the aforesaid method embodiment for a specific workflow of the apparatus embodiment shown in FIG. 3. The workflow is not detailed any more.


In addition, the apparatus in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 may be located in a smart device, as a component of the smart device.


According to the solution of the above apparatus embodiment, it is possible to determine whether the user's mood can be parsed from the user-input speech obtained each time while the user is performing speech chat with the smart device having a music playing function, and if yes, recommend music matched with the user's mood to the user. As compared with the prior art, in the solution of the above apparatus embodiment, it is possible to actively capture the user's emotion in language during chat, thereby obtain the user's mood, and then actively recommend music matched with his mood to the user, namely, actively recommend music meeting the user's current mood, thereby not only better resonating with the user, but also satisfying the user's demands for music, and improving the intelligence of the device.
