Abstract

A natural language processing (NLP) apparatus includes a housing, a built-in voice input interface; a built-in data communication interface configured to establish data communication with multiple types of appliances; a built-in NLP module, and a built-in control device. A first voice input is received through the built-in voice input interface; if the target appliance is a first appliance of a first appliance type, the first voice input is processed using a first NLP model of the built-in NLP module to obtain a first machine command, and the first machine command is sent via the built-in data communication interface to the first appliance; and if the target appliance is a second appliance of a second appliance type, the first voice input is processed using a second NLP model of the built-in NLP module, and the second machine command is sent via the built-in data communication interface to the second appliance.
