Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A voice control device and a corresponding voice control method are provided. The voice control device includes a sound receiver, a sound converter, a voice identifier, and a central processing unit (CPU). The sound receiver receives a first sound signal. The sound converter converts the first sound signal from analog signal to digital signal. The voice identifier identifies a first voice signal from the first sound signal, performs a first comparison on the first voice signal and a second voice signal, and generates a wake-up signal according to the first comparison. When receiving the wake-up signal, the CPU enters a working state from a sleeping state, performs a second comparison on the first voice signal and the second voice signal, and takes over the voice input from the sound receiver and the sound converter according to the second comparison.
