Abstract: A method for foreign language learning between a learner and a terminal, based on video or audio containing foreign language, particularly, to a conversation-based foreign language learning method using a speech recognition function and a TTS function of a terminal, a learner learns a foreign language in a way that: the terminal reads a current learning target sentence to the learner to allow the learner to speak the current learning target sentence after the terminal, when speech input by the learner in a speech waiting state of the terminal is the same as the current learning target sentence or belongs to the same category as the current learning target sentence; and the terminal and the learner alternately speak sentences one-by-one when the speech input by the learner is the same as the next sentence of the current learning target sentence or belongs to the same category as the next sentence.

Abstract: This application provides a voice interaction method. For a plurality of electronic devices equipped with a same voice assistant, a voice assistant of only one electronic device is in a working mode, and voice assistants of other electronic devices are all in a silent mode. When a user gives a voice for the voice assistant, the other electronic devices whose voice assistants are in the silent mode do not respond to a first instruction triggered by the voice of the user, only the electronic device whose voice assistant is in the working mode sends, according to the first instruction triggered by the voice of the user, a second instruction to an electronic device that is in the plurality of electronic devices and that has a capability of executing a task requested by the user, and the electronic device that receives the second instruction executes the task requested by the user.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for voice-controlled user interfaces (UIs) for augmented reality (AR) wearable devices are disclosed. Embodiments are disclosed that enable a user to interact with the AR wearable device without using physical user interface devices. An application has a non-voice-controlled UI mode and a voice-controlled UI mode. The user selects the mode of the UI. The application running on the AR wearable device displays UI elements on a display of the AR wearable device. The UI elements have types. Predetermined actions are associated with each of the UI element types. The predetermined actions are displayed with other information and used by the user to invoke the corresponding UI element.

Abstract: Provided is a quick-responsive voice control technique even in use in a planetarium. A control device of a projector of a planetarium includes: a storage unit that stores a plurality of commands for controlling the projector, flags indicating whether or not the respective commands can be executed, and keywords associated with the respective commands; a voice acquisition unit that acquires voice data; a control unit that controls the control device; and a communication unit that communicates with the projector. The control unit determines whether or not each of the commands for the projector can be executed on the basis of state information of the projector, the state information being acquired through the communication unit, updates the flags on the basis of the determination result, generates character string information from voice data acquired by the voice acquisition unit, acquires a command in which an executable flag is set from the storage unit using the character string information as a search key, and transmits the acquired command to the projector.

Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to receiving user input directed to an automated assistant, processing the user input to determine whether data from a server and/or third-party application is needed to perform certain fulfillment of an assistant command included in the user input, and generating a prompt that requests a user consent to transmitting of a request to the server and/or the third-party application to obtain the data needed to perform the certain fulfillment. In implementations where the user consents, the data can be obtained and utilized to perform the certain fulfillment. In implementations where the user does not consent, client data can be generated locally at a client device and utilized to perform alternate fulfillment of the assistant command. In various implementations, the request transmitted to the server and/or third-party application can be modified based on ambient noise captured when the user input is received.
