Abstract:
Disclosed are a home appliance and a mobile terminal. The home appliance includes a drive unit, an acoustic output module configured to output sound, a microphone configured to receive sound from an external source, a memory configured to store information related to the home appliance when the home appliance is being operated, an acoustic communication unit configured to output sound containing the information related to the home appliance to the acoustic output module or to extract prescribed information from the sound received via the microphone based on an acoustic communication mode, and a controller configured to control the drive unit according to the information extracted by the acoustic communication unit. Transmission of information between the home appliance and the mobile terminal is accomplished via acoustic communication.
Abstract:
Provided is a smart home appliance. The smart home appliance includes: a voice input unit collecting a voice; a voice recognition unit recognizing a text corresponding to the voice collected through the voice input unit; a capturing unit collecting an image for detecting a user's visage or face; a memory unit mapping the text recognized by the voice recognition unit and a setting function and storing the mapped information; and a control unit determining whether to perform a voice recognition service on the basis of at least one information of image information collected by the capturing unit and voice information collected by the voice input unit.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for encoding a voice signal, a method for decoding a voice signal, and an apparatus using the same. The method for encoding the voice signal according to the present invention, includes the steps of: determining an eco-zone in a present frame; allocating bits for the present frame on the basis of the location of the eco-zone; and encoding the present frame using the allocated bits, wherein the step of allocating the bits allocates more bits in the section in which the eco-zone is located than in the section in which the eco-zone is not located.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and device for quantizing voice signals in a band-selective manner. A Voice decoding method may include inversely quantizing voice parameter information produced from a selectively quantized voice band and performing inverse transform on the basis of the inversely quantized voice parameter information. Thus, according to the present invention, coding/decoding efficiency in voice coding/decoding may be increased by selectively coding/decoding important information.
Abstract:
Provided is a smart home appliance. The smart home appliance includes: a voice input unit collecting a voice; a voice recognition unit recognizing a text corresponding to the voice collected through the voice input unit; a capturing unit collecting an image for detecting a user's visage; a memory unit mapping the text recognized by the voice recognition unit and a setting function and storing the mapped information, and storing a keyword information that a user may input to start a voice recognition service; a control unit determining whether to perform a voice recognition service on the basis of at least one information of image information collected by the capturing unit and voice information collected by the voice input unit; a region recognition unit determining a user's region on the basis of information on the voice collected through the voice input unit; an output unit outputting region customized information on the basis of information on a region determined by the region recognition unit and information on the setting function, and wherein the control unit comprises a face detection unit recognizing that a user is in a staring state for voice input when image information on a user's visage is collected for more than a setting time through the capturing unit and, wherein the control unit determines that a voice recognition service standby state is entered when it is recognized that there is the keyword information in a voice through the voice input unit and a user is in the staring state through the face detection unit.
