| AieClientPrepare | Prepare | Initializes the inference algorithm plug-in. For KWS, this API loads the KWS model from the fixed location (/sdcard/wenwen_inst.wk) to the memory. |
| AieClientSyncProcess | SyncProcess | Executes the inference algorithm synchronously. For KWS, this API synchronously executes the audio inference algorithm to determine whether the specified wakeup keyword exists in the audio. |
</th>
| AieClientAsyncProcess | AsyncProcess | Executes the inference algorithm asynchronously. Currently, this API is not used in KWS. However, you can implement the API based on your use case. |
| AieClientSetOption | SetOption | Sets algorithm-related configuration items, such as the confidence threshold and delay. Currently, this API is not used in KWS. However, you can implement the API based on your use case. |
</th>
| AieClientGetOption | GetOption | Obtains algorithm-related configuration items. For KWS, this API can obtain the input and output scale of the KWS model. The input scale is the MFCC feature (fixed value: 4000) required by the KWS model, and the output scale is the confidence (fixed value: 2) of the result. |
</tr>
| AieClientRelease | Release | Releases the algorithm model. For KWS, this API releases the specified algorithm model and clears the dynamic memory in the feature processor. |

>- The **AieClientInit** and **AieClientDestroy** APIs are used to connect to and disconnect from the server, respectively. They are not called in the plug-in algorithm and therefore do not need to be defined in the plug-in.

1. The **AieClientInit** and **AieClientDestroy** APIs are used to connect to and disconnect from the server, respectively. They are not called in the plug-in algorithm and therefore do not need to be defined in the plug-in.
2. The KWS plug-in needs to use the **PLUGIN\_INTERFACE\_IMPL** statement to expose the function pointer. Otherwise, the plug-in cannot be properly loaded.
The preceding code is the specific API implementation. The **create** function in the API of the KWS SDK calls the open **AieClientInit** and **AieClientPrepare** APIs provided by the client to connect to the server and load the algorithm model. For details, see the implementation of the **create** method in following sections.
