Management of voice commands for devices in a cloud computing environment

摘要

Provided is a lightweight computational device that is configured to be in communication with a cloud both directly and via a smart computational device. The lightweight computational device receives a voice command from a user, wherein the lightweight computational device does not have adequate processing power to convert the voice command to a text command. The voice command is transmitted from the lightweight computational device to a smart computational device, wherein the smart computational device uses voice recognition to convert the voice command to a text command in the smart computational device, and transmits the text command for being processed by that cloud that provides at least one of voice recognition service and other services. The lightweight computational device receives a data response for the user from the cloud, via the smart computational device, based on the other services provided by the cloud.

1. A system comprising a lightweight computational device configured to be in communication with a cloud both directly and via a smart computational device, the system comprising:
a memory; a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is operable to perform operations, the operations comprising: receiving, by the lightweight computational device, a voice command from a user, wherein the lightweight computational device does not have adequate processing power to convert the voice command to a text command; transmitting, the voice command from the lightweight computational device to a smart computational device, wherein the smart computational device uses voice recognition to convert the voice command to a text command in the smart computational device, and transmits the text command for being processed by that cloud that provides at least one of voice recognition service and other services; receiving, by the lightweight computational device, a data response for the user from the cloud, via the smart computational device, based on the other services provided by the cloud; receiving, by the lightweight computational device, another voice command from the user; transmitting, by the lightweight computational device, the another voice command to the cloud, without the another voice command being transmitted via the smart computational device, wherein the another voice command is converted to another text command in the cloud via the voice recognition services, wherein one or more of the other services provided by the cloud are used to generate another data response by executing the another text command; and receiving, by the lightweight computational device, from the cloud, the another data response, without the another data response being transmitted through the smart computational device.
