Abstract

A method and apparatus for presenting a state of a voice interaction device are provided. The method includes: acquiring a current state of the voice interaction device; determining a current presentation mode corresponding to the current state, by searching a pre-stored correspondence relation between a state and a presentation mode according to the current state; and presenting the current state of the voice interaction device in the determined current presentation mode. In embodiments, a current state of a voice interaction device is presented to a user, and necessary usage recommendations and prompts are provided to a user, thereby improving user experience.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer program and computer processor implemented method for presenting a state of a voice interaction device, comprises:
acquiring, using a computer program executing on a computer processor, a current state of the voice interaction device;
determining, using a computer program executing on a computer processor, a current presentation mode corresponding to the current state, by searching a pre-stored correspondence relation between a state and a presentation mode according to the current state; and
presenting, using a computer program executing on a computer processor, the current state of the voice interaction device in the determined current presentation mode, by at least one of: playing a voice, playing a sound effect, displaying a static image associated with a full duplex interactive state, and displaying a dynamic image associated with the full duplex interactive state, wherein in a case where the current state is the full duplex interactive state, the presenting the current state of the voice interaction device in the determined current presentation mode comprises at least one of:
in a case where a time interval between the current moment and the moment when the last round of voice interaction ends is greater than a first preset threshold, playing a voice indicating that the voice interaction device is in the full duplex interactive state; and
in a case where a time interval between the current moment and the moment when the last round of voice interaction ends is greater than a second preset threshold, playing a sound effect indicating that the voice interaction device is in the full duplex interactive state.

2. The method for presenting a state of a voice interaction device according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the current state is a half-duplex interactive state and the full duplex interactive function is to be introduced, the presenting the current state of the voice interaction device in the determined current presentation mode comprises at least one of:
playing a voice containing information for introducing the full duplex interactive function;
displaying a static image for showing the full duplex interactive state;
displaying a dynamic image for showing the full duplex interactive state; and
playing a voice containing information for recommending the full duplex interactive function.

3. The method for presenting a state of a voice interaction device according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the current state is the full duplex interactive state, the presenting the current state of the voice interaction device in the determined current presentation mode further comprises:
displaying a static image and/or a dynamic image indicating that the voice interaction device is in the full duplex interactive state.

4. The method for presenting a state of a voice interaction device according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the current state is the full duplex interactive state, the presenting the current state of the voice interaction device in the determined current presentation mode further comprises:
displaying a dynamic image and/or a static image indicating a remaining time of the voice interaction device in the full duplex interactive state, based on the remain time.

5. The method for presenting a state of a voice interaction device according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the current state is switched from the full duplex interactive state to a half-duplex interactive state, the presenting the current state of the voice interaction device in the determined current presentation mode comprises:
playing a voice indicating that the full duplex interactive state ends; or
playing a voice indicating that the full duplex interactive state ends and a new full duplex interaction is prepared to be initiated.

6. An apparatus for presenting a state of a voice interaction device, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory for storing one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors to enable the one or more processors to:
acquire a current state of the voice interaction device;
determine a current presentation mode corresponding to the current state, by searching a pre-stored correspondence relation between a state and a presentation mode according to the current state; and
present the current state of the voice interaction device in the determined current presentation mode by at least one of: playing a voice, playing a sound effect, displaying a static image associated with a full duplex interactive state, and displaying a dynamic image associated with the full duplex interactive state, wherein in a case where the current state is the full duplex interactive state, the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors to enable the one or more processors to at least one of:
in a case where a time interval between the current moment and the moment when the last round of voice interaction ends is greater than a first preset threshold, play a voice indicating that the voice interaction device is in the full duplex interactive state; and
in a case where a time interval between the current moment and the moment when the last round of voice interaction ends is greater than a second preset threshold, play a sound effect indicating that the voice interaction device is in the full duplex interactive state.

7. The apparatus for presenting a state of a voice interaction device according to claim 6 , wherein in a case where the current state is a half-duplex interactive state and the full duplex interactive function is to be introduced, the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors to enable the one or more processors to present the current state of the voice interaction device by at least one of:
playing a voice containing information for introducing the full duplex interactive function;
displaying a static image for showing the full duplex interactive state;
displaying a dynamic image for showing the full duplex interactive state; and
playing a voice containing information for recommending the full duplex interactive function.

8. The apparatus for presenting a state of a voice interaction device according to claim 6 , wherein in a case where the current state is the full duplex interactive state, the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors to enable the one or more processors further to display a static image and/or a dynamic image indicating that the voice interaction device is in the full duplex interactive state.

9. The apparatus for presenting a state of a voice interaction device according to claim 6 , wherein in a case where the current state is the full duplex interactive state, the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors to enable the one or more processors further to display a dynamic image and/or a static image indicating a remaining time of the voice interaction device in the full duplex interactive state, based on the remain time.

10. The apparatus for presenting a state of a voice interaction device according to claim 6 , wherein in a case where the current state is switched from the full duplex interactive state to a half-duplex interactive state, the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors to enable the one or more processors to play a voice indicating that the full duplex interactive state ends; or play a voice indicating that the full duplex interactive state ends and a new full duplex interaction is prepared to be initiated.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, in which a computer program is stored, wherein the computer program, when execute
