Referring to FIG. 2A, the first collecting module 11 includes a voice collecting unit 111 and a first transmission unit 113. The voice collecting unit 111 is configured to acquire the user's voice data. The voice collecting unit 111 may be but not limited to a single microphone or a microphone matrix, and the first transmission unit 113 may be but not limited to a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, a General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) interface, or an Electronic Industry Association Recommended Standard 232 (EIA-RS-232) interface.

In several embodiments, the first collecting module 11 further includes a second transmission unit 112 electrically connected to the first transmission unit 113 and detachably connected to the preprocessing module 13. Therefore, the first collecting module 11 may be detachably connected to the preprocessing module 13 in socket joint mode through the second transmission unit 112, in order to easily replace the first collecting module 11 after being damaged. The first transmission unit 113 and the second transmission unit 112 are considered as a pair of matching interfaces of a transmission module.


In addition, the first collecting module 11 is detachably coupled to the preprocessing module 13 to wire communicate with the preprocessing module 13 through the second transmission unit 112, which ensures that the first collecting module 11 is stably communicated with the preprocessing module 13, and the preprocessing module 13 is better to process the signal transmission between the first collecting module 11 and the preprocessing module 13.

Referring to FIG. 3, the preprocessing module 13 includes an interference suppression unit 131 electrically connected to the first collecting module 11 and a noise filtering unit 132. The interference suppression unit 131 is configured to suppress the interference voice of the voice data collected by the first collecting module 11 during the voice data being transmitting. In detail, the interference suppression unit 131 is configured to improve a signal-to-noise ratio of the voice data collected by the first collecting module 11 to acquire the voice data with a high signal-to-noise ratio. The interference suppression unit 131 is a chip having a suppression function of disrobed above. Thus, the noise filtering unit 132 may filter well the voice data to acquire the target voice. The noise filtering unit 132 is connected to the interference suppression unit 131 and is configured to filter an ambient noise and/or delete a blank voice to the voice data processed by the interference suppression unit 131 to acquire pure human voice data, the voice data processed by the interference suppression unit 131 is also the voice data with the high signal-to-noise ratio, and the pure human voice data is the target voice which is also called target voice data or target signal. The noise filtering unit 132 may be but not limited to a chip having a filtering function of disrobed above.


Referring to FIG. 4, the voice recognition module 14 includes a threshold setting unit 141, a feature extracting unit 142, and a matching analysis unit 143. The feature extracting unit 142 is configured to extract voice feature of the target voice from the preprocessing module 13, and the voice feature of the target voice may include one feature, two features or three features from features of sound intensity, loudness, pitch, and pitch period and so on. The sound intensity refers to an average sound energy per unit area passing through a direction that is perpendicular to a sound wave propagation direction in per unit time, the loudness of the sound refers to a degree of sound intensity that we subjectively feel, the pitch refers to a feeling of human auditory system for sound frequency, and the pitch period refers to the time from turning on a vocal cord to turning off the vocal cord once. For example, a voice recognition used by the voice recognition module 14 may be a voice recognition based on a convolutional neural network algorithm and/or a voice recognition based on a voiceprint feature extraction. The voice recognition module 14 may be but not limited to a chip having a recognition function of disrobed above, and the feature extracting unit 142 may be but not limited to a chip having a function of extracting above-mentioned voice features.


The threshold setting unit 141 is configured to set a speech feature matching threshold. The threshold setting unit 141 receives a setting command input by an input device and sets the speech feature matching threshold, and the input device may be but not limited to some physical buttons, virtual soft buttons, and so on.


The matching analysis unit 143 is configured to compare the voice feature of the target voice acquired from the feature extracting unit 142 with the preset voice feature stored in the storage module 16, and send the first feedback signal to the wireless transmitter 15 according to the comparison result. The wireless transmitter 15 receives and analyzes the first feedback signal to generate and send the wireless signal to control the electrical apparatus. The matching analysis unit 143 may be a comparator or a comparing circuit.


Specifically, if a ratio of the voice feature of the target voice acquired from the feature extracting unit 142 to the preset voice feature stored in the storage module 16 is greater than or equal to the speech feature matching threshold set in the threshold setting unit 141, the matching analysis unit 143 sends a positive first feedback signal to the wireless transmitter 15. The positive first feedback signal includes specific information of the wireless signal to be transmitted, that is, a code corresponding to the wireless signal. Thus, different wireless signals may be sent through different voice commands to control different electrical apparatuses or control the same apparatus to achieve various functions. The wireless transmitter 15 receives and analyzes the first feedback signal to generate and send the wireless signal to control the electrical apparatus. If the ratio of the voice feature of the target voice acquired from the feature extracting unit 142 to the preset voice feature stored in the storage module 16 is smaller than the speech feature matching threshold set in the threshold setting unit 141, the matching analysis unit 143 sends a negative first feedback signal to the wireless transmitter 15 or doesn't send the first feedback signal to the wireless transmitter 15. Thus, the wireless transmitter 15 doesn't send the wireless signal.


For example, it is assumed that the preset voice feature stored in the storage module 16 is an instruction statement “Please turn on the fan” from user A, and the first collecting module 11 collects voice data of instruction statement “Turn on the fan” or “Please turn on the fan” from the user A or user B. The preprocessing module 13 preprocesses the voice data of the instruction statements from the user A or the user B to eliminate interferential voice to acquire the target voice data of the instruction statement, the feature extracting unit 142 of the voice recognition module 14 extracts the voice feature from the target voice data to acquire the voice feature of the target voice, and the matching analysis unit 143 compares the voice feature of the target voice of the instruction statement “Turn on the fan” or “Please turn on the fan” from the user A or the user B acquired from the feature extracting unit 142 with the preset voice feature of the command statement “Please open the fan” from the user A. If the ratio is greater than or equal to the speech feature matching threshold set in the threshold setting unit 141, matching is successful, the matching analysis unit 143 sends the positive first feedback signal to the wireless transmitter 15, and the wireless transmitter 15 receives and analyzes the first feedback signal to generate and send the wireless signal to control the electrical apparatus. For example, the threshold is 90%, a ratio of the voice feature of the target voice of the instruction statement “Turn on the fan” or “Please turn on the fan” from the user A or user B acquired by the feature extracting unit 142 to the preset voice feature of the instruction statement “Please turn on the fan” from user A stored in the storage module 16 is greater than or equal to 90%, the matching is successful, the matching analysis unit 143 sends the positive first feedback signal to the wireless transmitter 15, and the wireless transmitter 15 receives and analyzes the first feedback signal to generate and send the wireless signal to control the electrical apparatus. Conversely, the matching analysis unit 143 sends the negative first feedback signal to the wireless transmitter 15 or does not send the first feedback signal to the wireless transmitter 15, the wireless transmitter 15 doesn't send the wireless signal.


Referring to FIG. 5, the wireless transmitter 15 includes a control unit 151, a wireless generating unit 153, a signal modulation unit 155, and a wireless transmitting unit 157. The control unit 151 is connected to the wireless generating unit 153 and the matching analysis unit 143 of the voice recognition module 14, and is configured to receive and analyze the first feedback signal sent by the matching analysis unit 143 to control the wireless generating unit 153 to generate the wireless signal according to the first feedback signal. The signal modulation unit 155 is electrically connected to the wireless generating unit 153 to modulate the wireless signal generated by the wireless generating unit 153 to a modulated wireless signal. The wireless transmitting unit 157 is electrically connected to the signal modulation unit 155 to send the modulated wireless signal to the electrical apparatus having the wireless sensor, thus controlling the electrical apparatus.


The signal, which can be modulated, may be a digital signal or an analog signal. The modulation based on the digital signal may be amplitude shift keying (ASK), frequency-shift keying (FSK), phase shift keying (PSK), or quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). The wireless control signal is radiated into the space through the antenna in the form of electromagnetic waves, in order to acquire a relative high radiation efficiency, the size of the antenna is generally greater than a quarter of the wavelength of the transmitted signal. The lower frequency component of the converted wireless control signal has a longer wavelength, which makes the antenna too long to be realized. Therefore, the wireless control signal may be loaded to a higher carrier frequency by modulating, and the size of the antenna can be greatly reduced. A plurality of wireless control signals may be loaded to different carrier frequencies to achieve channel multiplexing and improve channel utilization. In addition, the modulation may extend the signal bandwidth, improve the system's anti-interference and anti-fading ability, and increase the signal-to-noise ratio during transmission.


In this embodiment, the wireless signal may be an infrared signal, a Wi-Fi signal, a Bluetooth signal, a wireless signal of Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band, or a wireless signal in an unlicensed and publicly used frequency band that is specified by the International Telecommunication Union.


Preferably, the modulated wireless signal modulated by the signal modulation unit 155 is the wireless signal of ISM band with a frequency of 433 MHz, 902-928 MHz, 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz.


Specifically, it is assumed that the positive first feedback signal is a binary code such as “0101”, “0100”. The binary code “0101” is mapped with a type A wireless signal controlling the fan to swing, and the binary code “0100” is mapped with a type B wireless signal controlling to turn on the fan.


When the signal from the matching analysis unit 143 is the positive first feedback signal, the control unit 151 analyzes the positive first feedback signal to acquire the binary code “0100”, and controls the wireless generating unit 153 to correspondingly yield the type B wireless signal. The type B wireless signal modulated by the signal modulation unit 155 has high energy and long propagation distance, and the wireless transmitting unit 157 transmits the type B wireless signal to the electrical apparatus and controls the electrical apparatus to be on.


When the signal from the matching analysis unit 143 is the negative first feedback signal, or the control unit 151 doesn't receive the signal from the matching analysis unit 143, the wireless generation unit 153 does not operate.


In this embodiment, the preset voice command pre-stored in the storage module 16 may be one or more voice commands of one user, or may be a plurality of voice commands of many users. The plurality of voice commands may control the electrical apparatus to perform the same action, which is achieved through converting the plurality of voice commands into the same wireless signal having the same feature by the wireless transmitter 15, and the wireless signal feature may be the wavelength and/or frequency of the wireless signal. The different voice commands may also be used to control the electrical apparatus to perform different actions, which is achieved through converting the different voice commands into the wireless signal having corresponding feature by the wireless transmitter 15.


The speech feature matching threshold of the threshold setting unit 141 can be set according to user's preference. The speech feature matching threshold may be in a range of greater than 0 and less than 1. Particularly, assume the speech feature matching threshold value is α, 1>α≥65%, more particularly, 1>α≥90%.


In the disclosure, the user's preset voice command is stored locally by the storage module 16, and the preset voice command data can be used quickly without using the cloud to store the voice command. The first collecting module 11 is configured to receive the user's voice data, the interference suppression unit 131 of the preprocessing module 13 is configured to suppress the interference signal in the voice data from the first collecting module 11 to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the voice data from the first collecting module 11, and the noise filtering unit 132 is configured to further eliminate the interference signal to effectively preserve the user's voice in the voice data, that is, the target voice. The voice recognition module 14 is configured to extract the voice feature of the target voice from the preprocessing module 13, and compare the voice feature of the target voice with the preset voice feature stored in the storage module 16. If the ratio the voice feature of the target voice to the preset voice feature is greater than or equal to the speech feature matching threshold, the voice recognition module 14 sends the first feedback signal to the wireless transmitter 15, the wireless transmitter 15 generates and modulates the wireless signal to have long propagation distance, and sends the modulated wireless signal to the electrical apparatus. The electrical apparatus is configured to receive and demodulate the modulated wireless signal, and operate according to the user's voice command, that is, the electrical apparatus is remotely controlled by using the voice command.


Embodiment 2

Referring to FIGS. 6A-6B, a wireless transmitting device 20 in accordance with a second embodiment includes a first collecting module 21, a preprocessing module 23, a voice recognition module 24, a storage module 26, and a wireless transmitter 25.


The first collecting module 21, the preprocessing module 23, the voice recognition module 24, the wireless transmitter 25, and the storage module 26 in the second embodiment and the first collecting module 11, the preprocessing module 13, the voice recognition module 14, the wireless transmitter 15, and the storage module 16 in the first embodiment have the same connection relationship and functions, and are not described herein.


The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the wireless transmitting device 20 further includes a self-setting voice collecting module 28 and a voice binding module 27. The self-setting voice collecting module 28 is connected to the storage module 26 and is configured to collect a user's self-setting voice command, extract and send a self-setting voice feature of the user's self-setting voice command to the storage module 26. The voice binding module 27 is configured to bind the self-setting voice feature with the preset voice feature, thus, the user can control the electrical apparatus through the self-setting voice.


Specifically, the voice binding module 27 includes a voice binding unit 271 and a binding prompt unit 272. The voice binding unit 271 is connected to the binding prompt unit 272, and is configured to bind the self-setting voice feature with the preset voice feature and send a binding feedback signal to the binding prompt unit 272 after the binding is successful. The binding prompt unit 272 receives the binding feedback signal, and sends a prompt message to the user to indicate that the binding is successful. The prompt message may be a flash, a text, or a voice. Preferably, the prompt message is the voice. The voice binding unit 271 may be but not limited to a Microcontroller Unit (MCU).


A method of collecting the self-setting voice feature used by the self-setting voice collection module 28 can refer to the method of collecting and processing the voice command used by the first collecting module 21 and the preprocessing module 23, and it will not be described again.


For example, the preset voice command “Turn on the fan” corresponds to turning on the fan. When the user wants to turn on the fan with the self-setting voice command “OPEN”, the self-setting voice feature of the self-setting voice command “OPEN” is collected by the self-setting voice collection module 28, the voice binding unit 271 binds or associates the self-setting voice feature of the self-setting voice command “OPEN” with the preset voice feature of the preset voice command “Turn on the fan”, and the binding prompt unit 272 sends a voice “Congratulation, the binding is successful” after the binding is successful. Therefore, the user can turn on the fan through the voice command “OPEN”.


In the embodiment, the user effectively extends the preset voice command through the self-setting voice collection module 28 and the voice binding module 27. Thus, the plurality of voice commands can be used to control the same action of the electrical apparatus, thereby effectively avoiding the user's inability to control the electrical apparatus because of forgetting the voice command.

The voice recognition module is configured to extract the voice feature of the target voice from the preprocessing module, and compare the voice feature of the target voice with the preset voice feature stored in the storage module. If the ratio the voice feature of the target voice to the preset voice feature is greater than or equal to the speech feature matching threshold, the voice recognition module sends the first feedback signal to the wireless transmitter, and the wireless transmitter sends the wireless signal to control the electrical apparatus.


Further, the wireless control signal may be loaded to the higher carrier frequency by modulating, and the size of the antenna can be greatly reduced. The plurality of wireless control signals may be loaded to different carrier frequencies to achieve channel multiplexing and improve channel utilization. In addition, the modulation may extend the signal bandwidth, improve the system's anti-interference and anti-fading ability, and increase the signal-to-noise ratio during transmission.


Secondly, the user may effectively extend the preset voice command through the self-setting voice collection module and the voice binding module. Thus, the plurality of voice commands can be used to control the same action of the electrical apparatus, thereby effectively avoiding the user's inability to control the electrical apparatus because of forgetting the voice command.


Thirdly, the second collecting module is configured to acquire the ambient noise, analyze the noise level of the ambient noise, and send the second feedback signal of the noise level to the preprocessing module, and thus the preprocessing module may adjust the filtering strength of the noise according to the different noise levels to acquire the relative good target voice, which increases the sound recognition effect.
