The present invention relates to a relay device for a device capable of interacting with a user and a relay method using the same, and more particularly, to perform a relay function for a device capable of interacting with a user, such as a speaker equipped with an artificial intelligence engine. It relates to a relay device and a relay method using the same.

Speakers equipped with artificial intelligence engines (hereinafter referred to as artificial intelligence speakers) are entering the market.

AI speakers may include Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Giga Genie (KT), SKT NUGU, and the like.

These artificial intelligence speakers have a critical range (or critical point) for receiving the user's voice signal.

Accordingly, when the user moves away from the AI speaker, the AI speaker's microphone receives the user's small voice and sends it to the cloud server. In this case, the cloud server cannot send the correct result to the artificial intelligence speaker because the user's voice is too low for analysis. So, the AI speaker cannot send normal results to the user.

After all, if the user is far away from the AI speaker, the AI speaker cannot be used properly.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In describing the present invention, in order to facilitate the overall understanding, the same reference numerals are used for the same components in the drawings, and duplicate descriptions of the same components are omitted.

1 is a diagram for explaining an application example of a relay device for a device capable of interaction with a user according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram for a device capable of interaction with a user according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is an internal configuration diagram of a relay device.

In FIG. 1 , reference numeral 1 denotes a device capable of interacting with users 2 , 3 , and 4 , and may be referred to as a voice recognition-based speaker (ie, an artificial intelligence speaker). For example, AI speakers may include Amazon Alexa, Google Home, GIGA Genie (KT), and SKT NUGU.

The artificial intelligence speaker 1 may receive an interaction signal (eg, voice, action, etc.) of the users 2 , 3 , 4 and send a corresponding signal to the cloud server 10 .

In addition, the artificial intelligence speaker 1 interacts in such a way that the result value from the cloud server 10 is delivered back to the user (one of 2, 3, or 4).

The cloud server 10 has a unique ID value of the users 2, 3, 4 that can distinguish users, and has a separate server engine (not shown) called artificial intelligence (AI).

The cloud server 10 may receive a signal transmitted by the users 2 , 3 , and 4 for interaction through the server engine and process the signal. Here, the signal processing may include signal analysis and generation of various commands according to the analysis results. The cloud server 10 may output a signal corresponding to a value or action desired by the users 2 , 3 , and 4 according to signal processing. For example, when it is necessary to deliver the content to the user 2 by voice, the cloud server 10 sends the delivered content to the artificial intelligence speaker 1 and the artificial intelligence speaker 1 uses the speaker installed in it. The content to be delivered to the user 2 may be delivered by voice. On the other hand, when it is necessary to deliver the delivered content to the user 2 in the form of a displayable message, the cloud server 10 sends the delivered content to the artificial intelligence speaker 1 and the artificial intelligence speaker 1 displays the display installed on it You can display the contents of the transmission through . Alternatively, the user (2, 3, 4) may transmit a desired value to another service that is already registered or accessible to display the result.

A method for the user 2, 3, 4 to interact with the artificial intelligence speaker 1 may be an action (or behavior pattern) or a voice. Accordingly, the interaction between the users 2 , 3 , and 4 and the artificial intelligence speaker 1 can be said to be a non-contact interaction.

In the case of a non-contact interaction, the range in which an interaction between the users 2 , 3 , and 4 and the artificial intelligence speaker 1 is possible is necessarily limited. The range can be seen as a region (R) surrounding the periphery of the artificial intelligence speaker (1) in the form of a semicircle.

In this situation, for example, in FIG. 1 , the user 2 can directly interact with the artificial intelligence speaker 1 because it is within the range R where the user can interact with the artificial intelligence speaker 1 . However, the user 3 or the user 4 cannot directly interact with the artificial intelligence speaker 1 because it is outside the range R.

The present invention, as described above, even when the user is in a position where interaction with the artificial intelligence speaker 1 is impossible (eg, on a different floor, in another space, or out of the range where interaction is possible), the artificial intelligence speaker 1 and It can make interaction possible.

To this end, the present invention provides a repeater (repeater) 20 having the same internal configuration as in FIG. 2 in order to enable interaction between the user and the artificial intelligence speaker 1 even if the user is far away from the artificial intelligence speaker 1 to employ Typically, a repeater is an electronic device that receives a signal and retransmits it with a higher force, thereby helping the signal to reach a greater distance. However, the repeater 20 in the present invention is not simply a signal repeater, but a repeater that enables interaction with a smart device such as the artificial intelligence speaker 1 in a wider range. And, the interaction signal is not limited to voice or action, and is a signal capable of responding to various interactions supported by the artificial intelligence speaker 1 . The repeater 20 may be a relay device described in the claims of the present invention.

Here, the repeater 20 may be inserted into the lighting switches (or outlets) 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 that are necessarily installed in all spaces (rooms, living rooms, etc.). In this way, there is no need to provide a separate installation space. As a result, it can be seen that the light switch or outlet (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) functions as the repeater (20).

Although the repeater 20 is not shown in FIG. 1, as described above, the repeater 20 may be inserted into the light switch (or outlet) 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, so it should be understood that it is not shown. .

The repeater 20 may be a device that is independently supplied with separate power. In addition, a separate network is configured to enable mutual communication between repeaters. Here, the network may be a mesh network method or a star topology method.

The repeater 20, as shown in FIG. 2, includes a communication module unit 30, a microphone 31, a speaker 32, a display unit 33, a button 34, a camera 35, a power supply unit 36, and a control unit. (37) may be included. If necessary, a configuration other than the internal configuration shown in FIG. 2 may be additionally included.

The communication module unit 30 includes at least one communication module for accessing the cloud server 10 or directly communicating with the artificial intelligence speaker 1 .

For example, the communication module unit 30 includes a Wi-Fi module 30a, a Zigbee module 30b, a Z-wave module 30c, and a Bluetooth module ( 30d) has more than one communication module. Of course, the communication module in the communication module unit 30 is not limited to the Wi-Fi module, Zigbee module, Z-Wave module, and Bluetooth module illustrated above.

The microphone 31 may collect a signal (eg, voice) that the user sends to interact with the artificial intelligence speaker 1 .

The speaker 32 may transmit a signal-processed result value (eg, voice) in the cloud server 10 to the user in response to the signal sent to the microphone 31 for interaction with the artificial intelligence speaker 1 by the user. there is. The speaker 32 may be an example of an output unit described in the claims of the present invention.

The display unit 33 may display the result value from the cloud server 10 in various symbols (including symbols, pictures, characters, etc.). The user may recognize the result value from the cloud server 10 through the symbol displayed on the display unit 33 .

In addition, the display unit 33 may enable a contact-type interaction through a user's touch. Accordingly, in the present invention, the interaction between the users 2 , 3 , and 4 and the artificial intelligence speaker 1 may be referred to as a contact interaction as well as a non-contact interaction.

The button 34 may be a button that turns on/off the operation of the repeater 20 .

The camera 35 may photograph the user's behavior (or behavior pattern).

The above-described microphone 31 and camera 35 may be an example of an interaction signal collecting unit described in the claims of the present invention.

The power supply unit 36 may supply power to the internal configuration of the repeater 20 . For example, the power supply unit 36 may include an SMPS.

The controller 37 may control the overall operation of the repeater 20 . For example, the controller 37 may include a microcontroller unit (MCU).

The control unit 37 includes a control algorithm for a user interaction with a smart device such as the artificial intelligence speaker 1 . For example, existing products such as Amazon Alexa interact with the user by voice. In this case, the control unit 37 in the repeater 20 receives the user's voice through the microphone 31 and the contents are transmitted directly to the artificial intelligence speaker 1 through the communication module unit 30, or a cloud server It can be controlled to be delivered to (10).

If it is necessary to give a voice feedback to the voice command sent by the user, the control unit 37 transmits the user's voice command to the cloud server 10 , and the result value from the cloud server 10 is the repeater 20 . It can be controlled to be delivered to the user through the speaker 32 of the.

On the other hand, when the voice command sent by the user controls other devices, such as a situation in which the light must be turned off or the boiler must be turned on, the control unit 37 transmits the corresponding voice command to the cloud server 10 to the communication module unit 30 . can be transmitted through At this time, it is assumed that the cloud server 10 controls the device requested by the user.

In the above description, the artificial intelligence speaker 1 and the cloud server 10, which are interactive devices, are configured as mutually separate components.

However, if necessary, the cloud server 10 may be included in the artificial intelligence speaker 1, which is an interactive device. The artificial intelligence speaker 1, which is an interactive device, can process user interactions by itself, but when a search or Internet connection is required (for example, a command such as "Search for &&") from the included cloud server You can also calculate feedback for this interaction.

In addition, the artificial intelligence speaker 1 may have a module (eg, zigbee, zwave, bluetooth wifi, etc.) that can communicate with the repeater 20 by itself, but if it does not have it, it is sent to the cloud server 10 The repeater 20 should be able to transmit the received interaction signal.

In other words, all displays (that is, feedback on interactions; may be voice or other forms) are to be performed by the artificial intelligence speaker 1, and the calculation of the interaction for the display is performed by the artificial intelligence speaker 1 can do it yourself, or the cloud server 10 may be required. Here, what the artificial intelligence speaker 1 can do by itself may be an operation that does not need to be connected to a separate Internet as described above, and the cloud server 10 may be required to utilize the Internet as described above. may be the case

Since the artificial intelligence speaker 1 can operate as described above, if the aforementioned situation, that is, the user cannot directly transmit the interaction to the artificial intelligence speaker 1, there will be two data flows.

The first data flow is, if the artificial intelligence speaker 1 has a module that can communicate with the repeater 20 and is in a direct communication distance, the repeater 20 receives the user's interaction signal and sends it to the artificial intelligence speaker ( 1) can be passed directly to

The second data flow is, if the artificial intelligence speaker 1 does not have a module that can communicate with the repeater 20, or if it has a module that can communicate with the repeater 20, the repeater 20 receives the user's interaction signal and transmits it. It may be transmitted to the cloud server 10 and the cloud server 10 may be transmitted to the artificial intelligence speaker 1 .

In the above description, it is assumed that the repeater 20 is inserted into the light switch or outlet, but it may be understood that it can be inserted into a separate device other than the light switch or outlet if necessary.

This time, a relay method using a repeater for a device capable of interacting with a user according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

In the following description, as in FIG. 1 , the artificial intelligence speaker 1 is present in the space where the light switch 9 is located, and processing the interaction signal of the user 3 in another space will be described as an example.

First, the user 3 expresses an interaction signal such as voice or action in order to interact with the artificial intelligence speaker 1 . Here, the interaction signal may be another interaction method supported by the artificial intelligence speaker 1 other than voice or action.

Accordingly, the repeater 20 in the lighting switch 7 of the space in which the user 3 is present directly transmits the user's interaction signal to the cloud server 10 or directly to the artificial intelligence speaker 1 Alternatively, if it is impossible to directly transmit to the artificial intelligence speaker 1, it is transmitted to the artificial intelligence speaker 1 through another repeater. It can be seen that this transfer is performed by the control of the control unit 37 of the repeater 20 in the lighting switch 7 of the space where the user 3 is located.

More about the content of "the repeater 20 in the lighting switch 7 of the space where the user 3 is located directly transmits the interaction signal of the user 3 to the cloud server 10" described above. Specifically, it is as follows. This content is that the repeater 20 in the lighting switch 7 of the space where the user 3 is currently present among a plurality of spaces receives the user 3 interaction signal with the microphone 31 or the camera 35, It means that it is directly transmitted to the cloud server 10 through the communication module unit 30 . In other words, the repeater 20 in the light switch 7 transmits the user 3's interaction signal directly to the cloud server 10 without going through the repeater installed in the artificial intelligence speaker 1 and/or the light switch 9. It would mean to deliver. In this case, the cloud server 10 sends the result value to the repeater 20 in the light switch 7 of the space where the user 3 exists without going through the repeater and the artificial intelligence speaker 1 installed in the light switch 9 . can be sent directly. Accordingly, the result value is displayed through the speaker 32 or the display unit 33 of the repeater 20 . Even if a separate flowchart is not presented for these contents, I think that those who are engaged in the same industry will be able to understand the flow sufficiently with the above contents.

On the other hand, as described above, "the repeater 20 in the light switch 7 of the space where the user 3 exists directly transmits the user 3 interaction signal to the artificial intelligence speaker 1" More specifically, the following. This content is that the repeater 20 in the lighting switch 7 of the space where the user 3 is currently present among a plurality of spaces receives the user 3 interaction signal with the microphone 31 or the camera 35, It means that it is transmitted directly to the artificial intelligence speaker 1 without going through the repeater in the light switch 9 through the communication module unit 30 . In this case, the artificial intelligence speaker 1 sends the received interaction signal to the cloud server 10 , and the cloud server 10 sends the result value to the artificial intelligence speaker 1 without going through the repeater of the light switch 9 . forward to And, the artificial intelligence speaker 1 can deliver the result to the repeater 20 in the lighting switch 7 of the space where the user 3 is, without going through the repeater in the lighting switch 9 . Accordingly, the result value is displayed through the speaker 32 or the display unit 33 of the repeater 20 . Even if a separate flowchart is not presented for these contents, I think that those who are engaged in the same industry will be able to understand the flow sufficiently with the above contents.

On the other hand, the repeater 20 in the light switch 7 of the space where the user 3 is present as described above is not able to directly transmit the user's interaction signal to the artificial intelligence speaker 1, another repeater is used. In more detail, the content of "transfer to the artificial intelligence speaker 1 through This content is that the repeater 20 in the lighting switch 7 of the space where the user 3 is currently present among a plurality of spaces receives the user 3 interaction signal with the microphone 31 or the camera 35, It means that it is transmitted to the artificial intelligence speaker 1 through the repeater in the light switch 9 through the communication module unit 30 . In this case, the artificial intelligence speaker 1 sends the received interaction signal to the cloud server 10 , and the cloud server 10 transmits the result value to the artificial intelligence speaker 1 . And, the artificial intelligence speaker 1 may transmit the result to the repeater 20 in the lighting switch 7 of the space where the user 3 is via the repeater in the lighting switch 9 . Accordingly, the result value is displayed through the speaker 32 or the display unit 33 of the repeater 20 . Even if a separate flowchart is not presented for these contents, I think that those who are engaged in the same industry will be able to understand the flow sufficiently with the above contents.

As described above, it enables interaction between a user and a device that can interact with a user, such as an artificial intelligence speaker, in a wider range, so that the user can interact no matter where he is. Due to this, the spatial limitation of the speech recognition-based speaker (ie, artificial intelligence speaker) is eliminated.

In addition, the above-described relay method using a relay device for a device capable of interacting with a user of the present invention can be implemented as computer-readable codes on a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data readable by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, and optical data storage device. In addition, the computer-readable recording medium is distributed in a computer system connected through a network, so that the computer-readable code can be stored and executed in a distributed manner. In addition, functional programs, codes, and code segments for implementing the method can be easily inferred by programmers in the art to which the present invention pertains.
