Problems solved by technology

Smart earphones use Bluetooth or WiFi (Wireless Fidelity, wireless local area network based on IEEE 802.11b standard) wireless module, which reduces the entanglement of wires, and can make calls, listen to music, etc. in a more comfortable way, but the wireless module consumes a lot of power. The time is short. For this reason, users hope that when they are not wearing smart headphones, they can stop running applications to reduce power consumption.
[0003] Aiming at the problem of wearable detection of wearable devices, mechanical keys are often used for control in the prior art. This solution has the following disadvantages: First, the frequent use of mechanical keys will cause wear and tear of the mechanical keys, which not only reduces its life, but also affects the appearance; The second is that it is relatively troublesome to operate the mechanical buttons only after observing the position of the buttons; the third is that the user may forget to turn off the wearable device, resulting in the application program in the wearable device running when it is not in use, such as music playing all the time and many more
[0004] Therefore, how to accurately detect whether the wearable device is in the wearing state is a crucial prerequisite work. If the detection is inaccurate, it may bring uncomfortable experience to the user, and may seriously affect the use effect of the wearable device.

Embodiment Construction

[0060] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the implementation manners of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0061] This solution is proposed in view of the problems existing in wearing detection, and its purpose is to improve the accuracy of wearing state detection of wearable devices. This solution uses capacitive sensors and other sensors that can detect whether the device is worn or not, and improves the accuracy of wearing state detection through anti-interference algorithms and logic control methods, thereby controlling some functions of the wearable device according to the wearing state of the wearable device, such as Music playback, lights on and off, ANC (Active Noise Control, active noise control) switch, etc., not only reduce power consumption, avoid wear and tear of mechanical buttons, bu...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a wearing state detection method of a wearable device and a wearable device. The method includes the following steps that: a sensor is arranged in a region of the wearable device that contacts with the skin of a user, measured values which are outputted by the sensor when the user wears and removes the wearable device are different; a reference value which can indicate whether the wearable device is worn or not is obtained; after wearing detection is started, the measured values are acquired from the sensor according to a preset sampling frequency; whether the wearable device is in a worn state currently is judged based on the measured values and the reference value; and when the wearable device is in a non-worn state, the wearable device is controlled to turn off corresponding functions which are operating. With the wearing state detection method of the wearable device of the invention adopted, the accuracy of the result of wearing detection is high; unnecessary power consumption of the wearable device can be decreased as much as possible, and the comfort of use of the device can be improved; when the wearable device is removed, the corresponding functions of the wearable device that are operating can be automatically stopped without the manual operation of the user required, and therefore, high intelligence can be realized; and the use needs of the wearable device can be satisfied.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of wearable smart devices, in particular to a wearable state detection method of a wearable device and the wearable device. Background technique [0002] Wearable devices are a hot topic in recent years, such as smart bracelets, smart watches and smart headphones. The wearing state detection of wearable devices is an important function that wearable devices need to have. According to the detection results of the wearing state, some functions can be controlled or optimized. Especially for smart earphones, wearing detection is a very important function. Smart earphones use Bluetooth or WiFi (Wireless Fidelity, wireless local area network based on IEEE 802.11b standard) wireless module, which reduces the entanglement of wires, and can make calls, listen to music, etc. in a more comfortable way, but the wireless module consumes a lot of power. The time is short. For this reason, users hope that when they are not wearing...
