The present invention relates to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, to a terminal voice control method and apparatus, and a terminal.
With the development of science and technology, smartphones have become necessities in people's lives. In order to facilitate a user to perform an operation on a smartphone, most smartphones currently have a voice control function. A user can issue a voice instruction to a mobile phone, and the mobile phone makes a response to the voice instruction. However, in the prior art, the foregoing solution is implemented by separately invoking different voice engines for multiple times. For example, a voice wake-up engine and a voiceprint recognition engine are used to identify whether a user is the owner first, and then the mobile phone is woken up, and the mobile phone then inquires about a requirement of the user and directs the user to answer questions step by step. After the user answers the questions, the mobile phone identifies a voice instruction that is issued by the user when the user answers the questions, and executes the voice instruction of the user according to an identification result.
A defect of the foregoing voice control manner is that: multiple voice instructions are inconsecutive, resulting in that a user needs to be inquired step by step and directed to answer questions; a next step can be started only after the user finishes answering the questions; a process of performing each step is cumbersome, which causes great inconvenience for the user to use a voice control function of a mobile phone. When the mobile phone is standby, no instruction can be directly issued to the mobile phone. The mobile phone needs to be woken up before a further operation can be performed on the mobile phone.

Refer to
S101. When a voice instruction of a user is received, identify the voice instruction, and extract wake-up indication information from the voice instruction.
Specifically, the voice instruction of the user includes the wake-up indication information and processing indication information, where the wake-up indication information is used to wake up a terminal that is in a screen locking state, and the processing indication information is used to instruct the terminal to execute a specific action.
Identifying the voice instruction of the user is detecting whether the voice instruction of the user includes a preset wake-up word, for example, a word preset by the user, such as hi or hello, so as to extract the wake-up indication information included in the voice instruction of the user.
S102. Perform voice verification on the voice instruction if the wake-up indication information is obtained by extracting.
Specifically, performing the voice verification on the voice instruction is performing voiceprint recognition on a voice in the voice instruction, so as to determine whether the user who issues the voice instruction is a preset user, so that only a user who passes the verification can use the terminal and further perform a voice operation on the terminal, thereby improving security performance of the terminal.
It should be understood that voiceprint recognition (Voiceprint Recognition) is also referred to as speaker recognition, which refers to identifying, according to a voice feature of a person, who speaks a segment of voice. Generally, voiceprint recognition includes two aspects: speaker identifying and speaker determining, where the former is to determine which one of several persons speaks a segment of voice, and the latter is to determine whether a segment of voice is spoken by a specified person. The voiceprint recognition manner in this embodiment of the present invention is speaker determining, that is, whether a segment of voice is spoken by a preset specified person needs to be identified.
S103. After the voice verification succeeds, extract processing indication information from the voice instruction, and respond to the voice instruction of the user according to the processing indication information.
Specifically, after the voice verification succeeds, the wake-up indication information is removed from the voice instruction; the processing indication information in the voice instruction is extracted, and the processing indication information is converted into a text; and a meaning of the processing indication information is identified according to the text, and a response is made according to the obtained meaning.
According to the terminal voice control method provided in this embodiment of the present invention, a user may use one voice instruction to control a terminal to complete multiple tasks without requiring voice interaction for multiple times, which is simple to use.
Refer to

S202. Perform voice verification on the voice instruction if wake-up indication information is obtained by extracting.
Specifically, performing the voice verification on the voice instruction is performing voiceprint recognition on a voice in the voice instruction, so as to determine whether the user who issues the voice instruction is a preset user, so that only a user who passes the verification can use the terminal, and further perform a voice operation on the terminal, thereby improving security performance of the terminal.
S203. After the voice verification succeeds, if it is detected that the terminal is in a screen locking state, light up a terminal screen and unlock the terminal screen, extract processing indication information from the voice instruction, and respond to the voice instruction of the user according to the processing indication information.
S204. After the voice verification succeeds, if it is detected that the terminal is not in a screen locking state, extract the processing indication information from the voice instruction, and respond to the voice instruction of the user according to the processing indication information.
Specifically, if it is detected that the terminal is in a screen locking state, the terminal that is in a screen locking state needs to be woken up first according to the wake-up indication information in the voice instruction, and then another step is performed. If the terminal is not in a screen locking state, the step of lighting up the terminal screen or unlocking the terminal screen does not need to be performed, and a next step is directly performed.
According to the terminal voice control method provided in this embodiment of the present invention, a user may use one voice instruction to control a terminal to complete multiple tasks without requiring voice interaction for multiple times, which is simple to use.

S303. If no wake-up indication information is obtained by extracting, continue to wait for receiving a voice instruction of the user.
Specifically, if no wake-up indication information is obtained by extracting, the terminal does not perform any processing, and continues to wait for receiving a voice instruction of the user.
S304. After the voice verification succeeds, extract processing indication information from the voice instruction, and respond to the voice instruction of the user according to the processing indication information.
Specifically, after the voice verification succeeds, the wake-up indication information is removed from the voice instruction; the processing indication information in the voice instruction is extracted, and the processing indication information is converted into a text; and a meaning of the processing indication information is identified according to the text, and a response is made according to the obtained meaning.
S305. Prompt reverification if the voice verification fails, and stop receiving a voice instruction of the user if the number of times of verification exceeds a threshold but the verification still fails.
