An electronic device, computer program product, and method avoids presenting certain objects during a video communication session. During a video communication session with second electronic device(s), a controller of an electronic device identifies baseline image(s) from an image stream provided by an image capturing device of the electronic device. The baseline image includes a primary image portion of participant(s) and including a scene of objects within the foreground or background of participant (s), during an initial portion of the video communication session. The controller monitors the image stream for a subsequent detection of the primary image portion and of non-participant(s) or object(s) as a secondary image portion that is not included within the baseline image(s). The controller responds to detecting the secondary image portion subsequently appearing within the image stream by communicating, to the one or more second electronic devices, a substitute image stream that does not present the secondary image portion.

An electronic apparatus includes: a memory storing one or more commands; and a processor connected to the memory and configured to control the electronic apparatus, wherein the processor is configured, by executing the one or more instructions, to: identify a first intention word and a first target word from first speech, acquire second speech received after the first speech based on at least one of the identified first intention word or the identified first target word not matching a word stored in the memory, acquire a similarity between the first speech and the second speech, and acquire response information based on the first speech and the second speech based on the similarity being a threshold value or more.

An analysis system has at least one monitoring assembly that includes at least one microphone to monitor an acoustic field proximate the monitoring assembly. The at least one microphone produces at least one microphone signal responsive to the acoustic field. The analysis system further includes a data storage device configured to buffer the at least one microphone signal and an audio analysis system configured to analyze a content of the data storage device where the audio analysis system is configured to analyze the content of the buffer to process at least a sound into a response or action.

Disclosed is an electronic device. The electronic device may execute an application for transmitting and receiving at least one of text data or voice data with another electronic device using the communication module, in response to occurrence of at least one event, based on receiving at least one of text data or voice data from the another electronic device, identify that a confirmation is necessary using the digital assistant based on at least one of text data or voice data being generated based on a characteristic of ab utterance using a digital assistant, generate a notification to request confirmation using the digital assistant based on confirmation being necessary, and output the notification using the application.

A method for identifying that a confirmation is necessary may include identifying using voice data or text data that is received from another electronic device using a rule-based or AI algorithm.

When a confirmation is necessary is identified using the AI algorithm, the method may use machine learning, neural network, or a deep learning algorithm.

A control system includes: an input receiver that receives an input from a user; and a controller that, if a security system is set in a notification mode, brings the input receiver into a cancellation preparation state in response to a sensor being changed to a predetermined state. The notification mode is a mode in which a notification is provided after a predetermined time period has elapsed since the sensor has changed to the predetermined state. The cancellation preparation state is a state in which a cancellation input for cancelling a setting of the notification mode is receivable. The controller cancels the setting of the notification mode when the cancellation input is received by the input receiver in the cancellation preparation state.

This application provides an audio output method and a terminal device. The method helps to reduce the operation complexity of a user, improve a degree of intelligence of the terminal device, and finally improve the user experience. The method includes that: a second terminal device may send an audio output request to a first terminal device, and a user may operate the first terminal device or an audio output device connected to the first terminal device, to trigger the second terminal device to obtain audio data corresponding to the audio output request. When the audio output device is a wireless audio output device, the second terminal device may establish a communication link with the wireless audio output device, to control the wireless audio output device to output a first audio signal corresponding to the audio data; and when the audio output device is a wired audio output device, the first terminal device may obtain audio data from the second terminal device, to control the audio output device connected to the first terminal device to output a first audio signal corresponding to the audio data.

A screen sharing method, apparatus, and device, and a storage medium. The screen sharing method includes: displaying a shared screen picture in a process of performing screen sharing among N terminals, N being an integer greater than 1, the first terminal being a terminal in the N terminals, and the shared screen picture being synchronously displayed in the N terminals; and highlighting, in a case that a target position in the screen picture displayed in a terminal of the N terminals is triggered, the target position in a screen picture of the first terminal, the target position being a position in the screen picture.

The invention discloses a smart loudspeaker, wherein the smart loudspeaker includes a voice input module, a language recognition module and at least two voice assistants, and the language recognition module receives a voice information from the voice input module and determines the language category based on the voice information and activates the voice assistant corresponding to the language category.
