In addition, although functional modules are divided and shown in the schematic structural views, and orders of steps are shown in the flowcharts, however, in certain embodiments, the division of the functional modules may be different from that of functional modules shown in the schematic structural views, or the execution of the orders of steps may be different from that of the orders of steps shown or described in the flowcharts. 
     In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present disclosure, the related technologies in which the present disclosure involved are briefly described below. 
     A main technical problem solved by the embodiments of the present disclosure is to provide a method, an apparatus, a system, and an electronic device for voice controlling a smart home electrical appliance, to ensure that a user can control any one of home electrical appliances which connected to a network in a home through a voice command at any one of corners of the home, thereby improving the control efficiency. 
       FIG. 1  is a schematic structural view of a system  10  for voice controlling a smart home electrical appliance provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to  FIG. 1 , the system  10  for voice controlling the smart home electrical appliance includes a mobile terminal  11 , the smart home electrical appliance  12 , and a central server  13 . 
     The mobile terminal  11  includes portable or wearable smart devices such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a smart band, or a smart watch. The number of the mobile terminal  11  can be one or more. Each mobile terminal  11  is configured to have a smart control mode. When the smart control mode is available, the mobile terminal  11  is configured to receive speech information of a user, and configured to recognize a control command from the speech information of the user. The mobile terminal  11  is respectively connected to and capable of interacting information with each of the smart home electrical appliances  12  and the central server  13 . 
     The smart home electrical appliance  12  includes home electrical appliances such as a television, an air conditioner, and a washing machine. The number of the smart home electrical appliance  12  can be one or more. Each smart home electrical appliance  12  can receive the control command sent by the mobile terminal  11  or the central server  13 , and be capable of performing an action according to the control command. In addition, each smart home electrical appliance  12  can send a first execution result or a second execution result back to the mobile terminal  11 , or can send the first execution result or the second execution result back to the central server  13  after receiving the control command. 
     The central server  13  can be a server, a server cluster composed of several servers, or a cloud computing service center. The central server  13  belongs to a smart home server for serving a home providing with the smart home electrical appliance and is similar to a network server having a router function. The central server  13  is usually arranged on a central location of the home, to ensure that all smart home electrical appliances  12  in the home are covered by the network. The central server  13  can process the received control command or the second execution result. The central server  13  is connected to each smart home electrical appliance  12  and pre-stores information of each smart home electrical appliance  12 . The information of each smart home electrical appliance  12  includes a name, a model, an installation location, and the like corresponding to the smart home electrical appliance  12 .

When there are multiple identical smart home electrical appliances  12 , the identical smart home electrical appliances  12  are numbered and renamed, so as to ensure that each smart home electrical appliance  12  has a unique name. The mobile terminal  11  can acquire information of each smart home electrical appliance  12  through the central server  13 . The central server  13  can be configured to have a malfunction analysis mode. When the central server  13  determines that the smart home electrical appliance  12  cannot normally execute the control command according to the second execution result, the central server  13  performs a malfunction analysis on the smart home electrical appliance  12  and sends a malfunction analysis result to the mobile terminal  11  of the user. It should be noted that, the mobile terminals  11  can synchronize or share information of the smart home electrical appliance  12  with each other at any time through wireless communication ways, such as but not limited to Bluetooth and WiFi. The communication ways among the mobile terminal  11 , the smart home electrical appliance  12 , and the central server  13  can be, but are not limited to, wireless communication ways such as infrared, Bluetooth, and WiFi. 
     The present disclosure will be further described by following various embodiments. 
     First Embodiment 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 . in order to solve the above-described technical problem, the first embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for voice controlling a smart home electrical appliance, including steps  101  and  102 . 
     Step  101 : acquiring speech information of a user. 
     When the smart control mode of the mobile terminal is available, the mobile terminal can acquire the speech information of the user. Optionally, information of each smart home electrical appliance is preset and stored in the central server. The information of each smart home electrical appliance includes information such as the name, the model, and the installation location and the like corresponding to the smart home electrical appliance. Prior to step  101 , some embodiments of the method further include acquiring information of each smart home electrical appliance stored in the central server, wherein the information of the smart home electrical appliance includes the name of the smart home electrical appliance. 
     Step  102 : performing a recognition on the speech information to acquire a control command. 
     After acquiring the speech information of the user, the mobile terminal recognizes the control command from the speech information. Optionally, referring to  FIG. 3 , and step  102  specifically includes following step  1021  and step  1022 . 
     Step  1021 : performing the recognition on the speech information to determine keyword information in the speech information, wherein the keyword information includes a name of a target home electrical appliance and an action to the target home electrical appliance. 
     Optionally, in this step, the received speech information is firstly converted into text information. The text information is consistent with the speech information and is convenient for recognition and extraction by the mobile terminal. The text information includes the keyword information, wherein the keyword information includes the name of the target home electrical appliance and the action to the target home electrical appliance. For example, the name of the target home electrical appliance includes “TV”, “washing machine”, “air conditioner  1 ”, “air conditioner  2 ”, and the like. The action is an action that the user intents to adjust the operation state of each smart home electrical appliance. For example, the action includes “turn on”, “turn off”, “pause”, and the like. 
     In the first embodiment of the present disclosure, the speech information can be recognized and the keyword information can be acquired by other recognition ways. For example, based on the speech information and a speech database having speeches of keywords preset therein, the words having the same pronunciations as the preset speeches in the speech database can be extracted from the speech information, thereby determining the keyword information from the speech information. The keyword information includes the name of the target home electrical appliance and the action to the target home electrical appliance. The speech database having speeches of keywords preset therein includes preset speeches of keywords, for example, preset speeches for the smart home electrical appliances, such as “air conditioner”, “TV”, “refrigerator”, and the like, and preset speeches for the actions such as “turn on”, “turn off”, “pause”, and the like. Specifically and for example, if the preset speeches of keywords include “refrigerator” and “turn on”, and the extracted words with the same pronunciations also include “refrigerator” and “turn on”, then the “refrigerator” is served as the target home electrical appliance and the “turn on” is served as the action. 
     Step  1022 : generating the control command according to the keyword information. 
     The keyword information acquired in the previous step can be combined to form the control command. For example, when the received speech information is converted into the text information, and the acquired content of the text is “perform turn on to the air conditioner”, the name of the target home electrical appliance is “air conditioner” and the action is “turn on” in the keyword information. Thus, the generated control command is “turn on air conditioner”. 
     Step  103 : determining a target home electrical appliance according to the control command, and transmitting the control command to the target home electrical appliance. 
     Since the control command generated in step  102  includes the name of the target home electrical appliance, the target home electrical appliance can be directly determined according to the control command, and the control command can be transmitted to the target home electrical appliance, such that the target home electrical appliance can execute the control command. 
     Step  104 : acquiring a first execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance, wherein the first execution result represents a state of the target home electrical appliance. 
     After transmitting the control command to the target home electrical appliance, the first execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance can be acquired, wherein the first execution result represents the state of the target home electrical appliance. Specifically, the first execution result includes the current operation state of the target home electrical appliance. The mobile terminal can determine whether the target home electrical appliance has successfully executed the control command according to the first execution result. For example, when the control command is “turn on air conditioner”, if the current operation state of the air conditioner in the first execution result is “turn off”, the mobile terminal can determine that the air conditioner has not successfully executed the control command according to the first execution result, and if the current operation state of the air conditioner in the first execution result is “turn on”, the mobile terminal can determine that the air conditioner has successfully executed the control command according to the first execution result. In addition, in step  104 , a situation of failing to acquire the first execution result may occur. That is to say, the first execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance cannot be acquired. In this situation, the first execution result is set, as default, that the target home electrical appliance has not successfully executed the control command. Further optionally, in order to have the process of the voice controlling responding promptly, the mobile terminal can automatically acquire the first execution result of the target home electrical appliance when a time period after the control command is transmitted to the target home electrical appliance reaches a preset time period. For example, in a case that the preset time period is 5 seconds, the mobile terminal can automatically request and acquire the first execution result of the target home electrical appliance when the time period after the control command is transmitted to the target home electrical appliance reaches 5 seconds and then the first execution result has not been received yet. 
     In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the method for voice controlling the smart home electrical appliance includes: acquiring speech information of the user; performing the recognition on the speech information to acquire the control command; determining the target home electrical appliance according to the control command, and transmitting the control command to the target home electrical appliance; acquiring the first execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance, wherein the first execution result represents the state of the target home electrical appliance. Therefore, the smart home electrical appliance does not need to install a voice module, thereby reducing the cost of the smart home electrical appliance. The user can control any one of home electrical appliances which connected to a network in the home through the voice command from any one of corners of the home, thereby improving the control efficiency. In addition, the user can obtain the current state of the target home electrical appliance through the acquired first execution result. 
     Second Embodiment 
     Referring to  FIG. 4 . in order to solve the above-described technical problem, the second embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for voice controlling a smart home electrical appliance, including steps  201  to  205 . 
     Step  201 : acquiring speech information of a user. 
     Step  202 : performing a recognition on the speech information to acquire a control command. 
     Step  203 : determining a target home electrical appliance according to the control command, and transmitting the control command to the target home electrical appliance. 
     Step  204 : acquiring a first execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance, wherein the first execution result represents a state of the target home electrical appliance. 
     The details of steps  201  to  204  are referred to steps  101  to  104  in the first embodiment, and are not repeatedly described herein. 
     Step  205 : determining whether the control command is successfully executed according to the first execution result. 
     When the first execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance is acquired, whether the control command is successfully executed will be determined according to the first execution result. The first execution result includes the current operation state of the target home electrical appliance. Specifically, there are three situations to be analyzed. A first situation: the mobile terminal judges and confirms that the target home electrical appliance has not successfully executed the control command according to the first execution result. For example, when the control command is “turn on air conditioner”, if the current operation state of the air conditioner in the first execution result is “turn off”, the mobile terminal can determine that the air conditioner has not successfully executed the control command according to the first execution result. A second situation: the mobile terminal judges and confirms that the target home electrical appliance has successfully executed the control command according to the first execution result. For example, when the control command is “turn on air conditioner”, if the current operation state of the air conditioner in the first execution result is “turn on”, the mobile terminal can determine that the air conditioner has successfully executed the control command according to the first execution result. A third situation: a situation of failing to acquire the first execution result is occur, that is, the first execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance cannot be acquired. In this situation, the first execution result is set, as default, that the target home electrical appliance has not successfully executed the control command. 
     In order to further improve the method for voice controlling the smart home electrical appliance and add functions such as feedback, monitoring, and malfunction analysis to the method, the method further includes the following steps  206  to  207 : 
     Step  206 : forwarding the control command to a central server when it is determined that the control command is not successfully executed according to the first execution result, such that the central server transmits the control command to the target home electrical appliance and acquires a second execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance, wherein the second execution result represents the state of the target home electrical appliance. 
     According to step  205 , when the first situation or the third situation occurs, it is determined that the control command is not successfully executed, and the control command is forwarded to the central server, such that the central server transmits the control command to the target home electrical appliance and acquires the second execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance. It is ensured that the control command can be effectively executed by indirectly controlling the smart home electrical appliance through the central server. 
     Specifically, the second execution result includes the current operation state of the target home electrical appliance. Once the central server transmits the control command to the target home electrical appliance and acquires the second execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance, the central server will analyze the second execution result and determine whether the target home electrical appliance has successfully executed the control command. More specifically, the central server can determine whether the target home electrical appliance has successfully executed the control command according to the second execution result. For example, when the control command is “turn on air conditioner”, if the current operation state of the air conditioner in the second execution result is “turn off”, the central server can determine that the air conditioner has not successfully executed the control command according to the second execution result; and if the current operation state of the air conditioner in the second execution result is “turn on”, the central server can determine that the air conditioner has successfully executed the control command according to the second execution result. In addition, in step  206 , a situation of failing to acquire the second execution result may occur. That is to say, the second execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance cannot be acquired. In this situation, the second execution result is set, as default, that the target home electrical appliance has not successfully executed the control command. In some other alternative embodiments, both the mobile terminal and the central server can directly acquire the second execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance, and can determine whether the target home electrical appliance has successfully executed the control command according to the second execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance. Further optionally, in order to have the process of the voice controlling responding promptly, the mobile terminal can automatically acquire the second execution result of the target home electrical appliance when a time period after the control command is transmitted to the target home electrical appliance reaches a preset time period. For example, in the case that the preset time is 5 seconds, the mobile terminal may automatically request and acquire the second execution result of the target home electrical appliance when the time period after the control command is transmitted to the target home electrical appliance reaches 5 seconds and then the second execution result has not been received yet. 
     If the central server determines that the control command is not successfully executed according to the second execution result, the method further includes the following step  207 . 
     Step  207 : receiving a malfunction analysis result, wherein the malfunction analysis result is formed from a malfunction analysis on the target home electrical appliance when the central server determines that the control command is not successfully executed according to the second execution result. 
     After the server acquires the second execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance, the server will determine whether the control command is successfully executed according to the second execution result. The second execution result includes the current operation state of the target home electrical appliance. Specifically, there are three situations to be analyzed. A first situation: the central server judges and confirms that the target home electrical appliance has not successfully executed the control command according to the second execution result. For example, when the control command is “turn on air conditioner”, if the current operation state of the air conditioner in the second execution result is “turn off”, the central server can determine that the air conditioner has not successfully executed the control command according to the second execution result. A second situation: the central server judges and confirms that the target home electrical appliance has successfully executed the control command according to the second execution result. For example, when the control command is “turn on air conditioner”, if the current operation state of the air conditioner in the second execution result is “turn on”, the central server can determine that the air conditioner has successfully executed the control command according to the second execution result. A third situation: a situation of failing to acquire the second execution result is occur, that is, the second execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance cannot be acquired. In this situation, the second execution result is set, as default, that the target home electrical appliance has not successfully executed the control command. Of course, in some other alternative embodiments, both the mobile terminal and the central server can directly acquire the second execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance, and can determine whether the target home electrical appliance has successfully executed the control command according to the second execution result sent back from the target home electrical appliance.
