Abstract

A voice-assisted editing method and device for a terminal is provided. The terminal configures a correspondence relationship between a user command and a tag, and saves the correspondence relationship in a configuration file, where the user command is stored in a form of text command. After receiving a voice command from the user, the terminal converts the voice command into a text command, and searches in the configuration file for whether there is the text command. When the text command is searched out in the configuration file, the terminal reads a tag corresponding to the text command, and performs editing operations indicated by the tag. The tedious steps of the user manually inputting and editing the text can thereby be reduced, greatly improving the user experience.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A voice-assisted editing method for a terminal, comprising:
the terminal configuring a correspondence relationship between a user command and a tag, and saving the correspondence relationship in a configuration file, wherein the user command is saved in a form of text command; and after receiving a voice command from a user, the terminal converting the voice command into a text command and searching in the configuration file for whether there is the text command or not, reading a tag corresponding to the text command when the text command is searched out in the configuration file, and performing editing operations indicated by the tag.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein
the tag indicates one or more editing operations; the step of the terminal configuring a correspondence relationship between a user command and a tag comprises: the terminal inputting a command via a touch screen, and then configuring a tag for the command, and selecting editing operations indicated by the tag, or inputting a command by voice, then configuring a tag for the command through the touch screen, and selecting editing operations indicated by the tag.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein:
the step of the terminal configuring a correspondence relationship between a user command and a tag comprises: the terminal configuring a format corresponding to the command and tag; the format comprises: command+tag+editing operations indicated by the tag.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
after receiving a voice command from the user, the terminal not performing editing operations when the text command is not searched out in the configuration file, and waiting for a next command of the user.

5 . A voice-assisted editing device for a terminal, comprising: a configuration module, a voice adaptation module and an analyzing and editing module, wherein:
the configuration module is configured to: configure a correspondence relationship between a user command and a tag and save the correspondence relationship in a configuration file, wherein the user command is saved in a form of text command; the voice adaptation module is configured to: receive a voice command from a user, convert the voice command into a text command and send the text command to the analyzing and editing module; and the analyzing and editing module is configured to: search in the configuration file for whether there is the text command after receiving the text command sent by the voice adaptation module, read a tag corresponding to the text command when the text command is searched out in the configuration file, and perform editing operations indicated by the tag.

6 . The device of claim 5 , wherein:
the tag indicates one or more editing operations; the configuration module is configured to configure a correspondence relationship between a user command and a tag in a following way: inputting a command via a touch screen, then configuring a tag for the command, and selecting editing operations indicated by the tag, or inputting a command by voice, then configuring a tag for the command via the touch screen, and selecting editing operations indicated by the tag.

7 . The device of claim 6 , wherein:
the configuration module is configured to: configure a format corresponding to the command and tag; the format comprises: command+tag+editing operations indicated by the tag.

8 . The device of claim 5 , wherein:
the analyzing and editing module is further configured to: after receiving the text command sent by the voice adaptation module, not execute editing operations when the text command is not searched out in the configuration file, and wait for a next command of the user sent by the voice adaptation module.

9 . The device of claim 5 , further comprising a voice enabling module, wherein:
the voice enabling module is configured to: set an enabling mode of voice-assisted editing; the enabling mode comprises: setting a button for the user to enable a voice-assisted editing function, or setting to automatically enable the voice-assisted editing function following a pop-up of an input method panel.
