[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 : This is a structural diagram of a Bluetooth headset provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The Bluetooth headset is a wired Bluetooth headset, comprising: an ear shell 6 and a wire controller 7 connected to the ear shell signal. The above-mentioned signal connection refers to a wired signal connection, that is, the ear shell 6 and the wire controller 7 are connected through a signal line. Among them, a sound module 5 is provided in the ear shell 6. The sound module 5 can be composed of a dynamic sound unit, a moving iron sound unit, or a dynamic and moving iron hybrid sound unit. The above-mentioned sound module 5 vibrates after receiving the electrical signal, driving the sound membrane to vibrate and then emit a corresponding sound. The Bluetooth module of the Bluetooth headset can be set in the ear shell 6, or it can be set in the wire controller 7. In addition, the Bluetooth module can also be set separately and connected to the ear shell 6 and the wire controller 7 through signal lines respectively. In an embodiment of the present invention, it is preferred to set the Bluetooth module in the wire controller 7.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1This is a module schematic diagram of a Bluetooth headset provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The Bluetooth headset also includes an infrared sensor module 1, a posture sensor module 3 and a control module 2, wherein the above-mentioned infrared sensor module 1 is arranged in the above-mentioned ear shell 6, and the above-mentioned posture sensor module 3 and the control module 2 are arranged in the above-mentioned wire controller 7. The infrared sensor module 1 and the posture sensor module 3 are respectively communicated with the control module 2. The infrared sensor module 1 can be connected to the control module 2 through a signal line and an interface. The posture sensor module 3 and the control module 2 can be integrated on the same PCB board and connected through pins, or they can be arranged on the shell of the wire controller 7 and connected to the control module 2 through a signal line and an interface.

[0038] In a dual-ear Bluetooth headset, the infrared sensor module 1 can be installed in either ear shell 6 or both. The infrared sensor module 1 is used to detect human body signals and transmit them to the control module 2. Specifically, when a user wears the Bluetooth headset and inserts the ear shell 6 into their ear, the infrared sensor module 1 detects far-infrared radiation based on human body temperature and converts it into a corresponding human body signal, completing the detection.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present invention, the infrared sensor module 1 can detect human body signals in real time or at a fixed time. Real-time detection of human body signals can make the detected human body signals more reliable, and regular detection of human body signals can further save power. In one possible implementation, the detection can also be performed when a call is received from a communication device. Similarly, the posture sensor module 3 can detect the posture signal of the wire controller in real time or at a fixed time. Real-time detection of the posture signal of the wire controller 7 can make the detected posture signal more reliable, and regular detection of the posture signal of the wire controller 7 can further save power. In one possible implementation, the detection can also be performed when a call is received from a communication device.

[0040] Among them, the above-mentioned real-time or timed detection of human body signals can be connected to the communication device through a Bluetooth module and set in the communication device. When the communication device is set to real-time detection mode, the infrared sensor module 1 and the posture sensor module 3 will detect the corresponding human body signals and the posture signals of the wire controller 7 in real time; when the communication device is set to timed detection mode, the infrared sensor module 1 and the posture sensor module 3 will detect human body signals at regular intervals.

[0041] In a possible embodiment, the above-mentioned real-time or timed detection of human body signals can also be determined based on the posture signal detected by the posture sensor module 3. For example, when the posture sensor module 3 detects that the wire controller 7 is in the target posture, the infrared sensor module 1 is adjusted to the timed detection mode. When the posture sensor module 3 detects that the wire controller 7 is not in the target posture, the infrared sensor module 1 is adjusted to the real-time detection mode. Furthermore, the detection modes of the above-mentioned infrared sensor module 1 and the posture sensor module 3 are different from each other. One of them can be a real-time detection mode, and the other can be a timed detection mode or a detection mode when a call is received. For example, when the infrared sensor module 1 is in real-time detection, the posture sensor module 3 is set to timed detection or detection when a call is received. When the posture sensor module 3 is in real-time detection, the infrared sensor module 1 is set to timed detection or detection when a call is received.

[0042] After the infrared sensor module 1 detects a human body signal, it transmits the human body signal to the control module 2 through a signal line.

[0043] The aforementioned posture sensing module 3 is used to detect the posture signal of the wired controller 7. Specifically, the wired controller 7 is arranged on the signal line between the two ear shells 6. When the user wears the Bluetooth headset, the signal line connecting the two ear shells 6 has a small range of movement. It can be considered that the Bluetooth headset and the wired controller 7 are in a fixed posture after wearing. The aforementioned posture sensing module 3 can detect the signal when the wired controller 7 is in this fixed posture. Of course, it is also possible to provide an ear hook for the Bluetooth headset's ear shell 6 to fix the Bluetooth headset to the user's auricle, thereby also ensuring that the wired controller 7 is in a fixed posture when the user wears the Bluetooth headset.

[0044] It should be understood that different posture sensing modules 3 can be selected according to the different postures of the wire controller 7 after being worn. For example, when the wire controller 7 is relatively close to the ear shell 6, the posture of the wire controller 7 is vertically downward after the user wears the Bluetooth headset, and the vertical sensor can be selected as the posture sensing module 3. When the wire controller 7 is between the two ear shells 6, the posture of the wire controller 7 is horizontal after the user wears the Bluetooth headset, and the horizontal sensor can be selected as the posture sensing module 3. The posture sensing module 3 detects the posture of the wire controller 7, thereby obtaining a posture signal of the wire controller 7 and sending it to the control module 2.

[0045] The control module 2 is used to determine whether the Bluetooth headset is in a call-ready state based on the human body signal and the posture signal of the wire controller 7. The call-ready state can be understood as the user is wearing the Bluetooth headset and can answer calls through the Bluetooth headset. The control module 2 can be a microcontroller (MCU). The control module 2 maintains a control instruction table corresponding to the human body signal and the posture signal of the wire controller 7. The control instruction table is used to determine whether the Bluetooth headset is currently in a call-ready state, as shown in Table 1:

[0046]

[0047]

[0048] Table 1

[0049] Among them, the value is 1 when a human signal is detected, the value is 0 when no human signal is detected, the value is 1 when a target posture signal is detected, and the value is 0 when a non-target posture signal is detected. The above-mentioned target posture can also be called wearing posture.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, the call-ready state includes the signal state corresponding to (1, 1) in Table 1. When a human body signal and a target posture signal are detected, that is, when the value in the table is (1, 1), the control module 2 determines that the current Bluetooth headset is in the call-ready state. In other cases, the control module 2 may determine that the current Bluetooth headset is not in the call-ready state.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned Bluetooth headset includes: an ear shell 6 and a wire controller 7 connected to the ear shell 6 by signal, and further includes: an infrared sensor module 1 is provided in the ear shell 6, and the infrared sensor module 1 is used to detect human body signals; a posture sensor module 3 and a control module 2 are provided in the wire controller 7, and the posture sensor module 3 and the infrared sensor module 1 are respectively connected to the control module 2 by signal; the posture sensor module 3 is used to detect the posture signal of the wire controller 7; the control module 2 is used to determine whether the Bluetooth headset is in a call-ready state based on the human body signal and the posture signal of the wire controller 7, and control the Bluetooth headset to provide an incoming call prompt when the call is ready. The present invention determines whether the Bluetooth headset is in a call-ready state based on the human body signal and the posture signal, and only provides an incoming call prompt when the call is ready, thereby saving the standby power of the Bluetooth headset. Since the infrared sensor module 1 and the posture sensor simultaneously obtain the human body signal and the posture signal of the wire controller 7, it is possible to determine whether the ear shell 6 is inserted into the ear through the human body signal, and the posture signal of the wire controller 7 can be used to determine the posture of the wire controller 7, thereby determining whether the user is in a call state wearing the Bluetooth headset. In the call state, a call reminder is given, thereby avoiding the situation where the Bluetooth headset is turned on but the user is not wearing the headset and still receives a call reminder through the Bluetooth headset, thereby saving the power of the Bluetooth headset.

[0052] Optional, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 : is a schematic diagram of the structure of a Bluetooth headset provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the Bluetooth headset is a wired Bluetooth headset, including: an ear shell 6 and a wire controller 7 connected to the ear shell by signal. The above-mentioned signal connection refers to a wired signal connection, that is, the ear shell 6 and the wire controller 7 are connected through a signal line.

[0053] Among them, a sound module 5 is set in the ear shell 6. This sound module 5 can be composed of a dynamic sound unit, a moving iron sound unit, or a dynamic-moving iron hybrid sound unit. The above-mentioned sound module 5 vibrates after receiving an electrical signal, driving the sound membrane to vibrate and emit a corresponding sound. The Bluetooth module of the Bluetooth headset can be set in the ear shell 6 or in the wire controller 7. In addition, the Bluetooth module can be set separately and connected to the ear shell 6 and the wire controller 7 respectively through signal lines. In this embodiment of the present invention, it is preferred to set the Bluetooth module in the wire controller 7.

[0054] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of a Bluetooth headset wire controller 7 provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the wired controller 7 includes a housing 9 and a circuit board 10 disposed therein. The circuit board 10 integrates a control module 2, a sound prompt module 8, a posture sensing module 3, and a vibration module 4. The control module 2 is signal-connected to the vibration module 4, the sound prompt module 8, and the posture sensing module 3. The control module 2 can be a control chip or microprocessor. The vibration module 4 and the sound prompt module 8 are used to play the corresponding incoming call prompt according to the incoming call prompt strategy. The posture sensing module 3 can be a horizontal sensor and a vertical sensor.

[0055] Specifically, when designing a Bluetooth headset, the posture of the wire controller 7 of multiple Bluetooth headsets is sampled when the headset is worn. By continuously sampling the posture data of the wire controller 7 when worn, the type, setting method, and setting position of the posture sensor module 3 are determined. The types of the posture sensor module 3 include a horizontal sensor, a vertical sensor, or an inclination sensor.

[0056] For example, when it is determined that the Bluetooth headset wire controller 7 is in a vertical position after being worn, the above-mentioned posture sensing module 3 can be a vertical sensor, which searches for a vertical line in the wire controller 7 and sets the vertical sensor on the vertical line so that the vertical sensor detects a target posture signal, and the above-mentioned target posture signal is a vertical posture signal. It should be noted that the target posture signal detected by the above-mentioned vertical sensor is approximately vertical, and a certain deviation angle can be allowed, for example, the deviation angle is within 5 degrees. The specific deviation can be written into the sensor by the programmer.

[0057] Similarly, when the posture sensing module 3 is a level sensor or an inclination sensor, it can also be configured in the same manner.

[0058] Optionally, the control module 2 in the above-mentioned Bluetooth headset stores different incoming call prompt strategies, and the call status includes the signal status corresponding to (1, 1), (1, 0), and (0, 1) in Table 1. Different incoming call prompt strategies can be matched according to different signal statuses.

[0059] It should be noted that the above-mentioned incoming call prompt strategy will be enabled only when the Bluetooth headset is connected to the communication device, wherein the connection between the Bluetooth headset and the communication device can be actively operated and controlled by the user.

[0060] In one embodiment, the wire controller 7 in the Bluetooth headset is provided with a vibration module 4, which is used to support one or more of the above-mentioned incoming call prompt strategies. Furthermore, the above-mentioned incoming call prompt strategy includes a vibration prompt strategy, which is implemented by the vibration module 4. Furthermore, when the above-mentioned signal state is (1, 0), that is, when the posture sensor module 3 detects the target posture signal but the infrared sensor module 1 does not detect the human body signal, the control module 2 controls the vibration module 4 in the wire controller 7 to vibrate to notify the user of an incoming call. Optionally, the wire controller 7 in the Bluetooth headset is provided with a sound prompt module 8, which is used to support one or more of the above-mentioned incoming call prompt strategies and is used to notify the user of an incoming call. Furthermore, when the above-mentioned signal state is (1, 0), that is, when the posture sensor module 3 detects the target posture signal but the infrared sensor module 1 does not detect the human body signal, the control module 2 controls the sound prompt module 8 in the wire controller 7 to perform a sound prompt to notify the user of an incoming call.

[0061] Of course, the vibration module 4 and the sound prompt module 8 can be combined to support the above-mentioned incoming call prompt strategy. The vibration module 4 and the sound prompt module 8 can both be set in the wired controller 7 to support the incoming call prompt when the signal state is (1, 0).

[0062] For the case where the signal posture is (1, 0), since the infrared sensor module 1 does not detect human body information and the posture of the wire controller 7 is the target posture, it means that the ear shell 6 of the Bluetooth headset is not in the ear and may be hanging on the auricle. At this time, the user cannot hear the incoming call reminder music emitted by the sound module 5 in the ear shell, so a vibration module 4 and / or a sound prompt module 8 can be set in the wire controller 7.

[0063] Optionally, when the above signal state is (0, 1), that is, the posture sensing module 3 does not detect the target posture signal, but the infrared sensing module 1 detects the human body signal. At this time, the control module 2 can control the sound module 5 in the ear shell 6 to play the incoming call prompt tone, which is the incoming call prompt tone of the communication device.

[0064] In addition, when the above signal state is (0, 0), that is, the posture sensing module 3 does not detect the target posture signal, and the infrared sensing module 1 does not detect the human body signal, it can be said that the user is not wearing a Bluetooth headset. When the communication device calls, there is no need to use the Bluetooth headset to remind the user of the incoming call.

[0065] When the posture sensing module 3 detects the posture signal of the wire controller 7, the posture signal will be transmitted to the control module 2. The control module 2 will feedback a level after receiving the feedback signal.

[0066] For example, when the level sensor detects that the wired controller 7 is in a horizontal state, the signal indicating that the wired controller 7 is in a horizontal state will be transmitted to the control module 2. After receiving the feedback signal, the control module 2 will feedback a low level; the low level at this time will be fed back to the vibration module 4 or the sound prompt module 8.

[0067] When the horizontal sensor detects that the wire controller 7 is in a vertical state, the signal indicating that the wire controller 7 is in a vertical state will be fed back to the control module 2. After receiving the feedback signal, the control module 2 will feed back a high level; the high level at this time will be fed back to the vibration module 4 or the sound prompt module 8.

[0068] Furthermore, a power supply module is also provided in the online controller 7, which includes a power supply battery and a USB interface. The USB interface can be connected to an external power source to charge the power supply battery; one end of the control module 2 is connected to the power supply battery, and the other end is connected to the posture sensing module 3, the vibration module 4, and the sound prompt module 8 respectively.

[0069] The ear shell 6 includes an infrared sensing module 1, wherein the infrared sensing module 1 includes an infrared sensor. The infrared sensing module 1 may also include a temperature sensor. Both the infrared sensor and the temperature sensor can be used to obtain human body signals. The infrared sensing module 1 is signal-connected to the control module 2.

[0070] When the infrared sensor module 1 detects a human body signal, the human body signal will be transmitted to the control module 2. The control module 2 will provide high and low level feedback after receiving the human body signal.

[0071] For example, when the infrared sensor does not detect a human body signal, the signal indicating that no human body is detected will be transmitted to the control module 2. The control module 2 will feedback a low level after receiving the transmitted signal; the low level at this time will be fed back to the vibration module 4 or the sound prompt module 8.

[0072] When the infrared sensor detects a human body signal, the human body signal will be transmitted to the control module 2. The control module 2 will feedback a high level after receiving the transmitted signal; the high level at this time will be fed back to the vibration module 4 or the sound prompt module 8;

[0073] Furthermore, there are two ear shells, and an infrared sensing module 1 is provided in each of the two ear shells, wherein the infrared sensing module 1 includes an infrared sensor, and the infrared sensor is used to detect human body signals.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present invention, whether the Bluetooth headset is in a call-ready state is determined by human body signals and the posture signal of the wire controller 7, and the user is prompted for an incoming call through the Bluetooth headset only when the call is in the call-ready state; in addition, different incoming call prompt strategies are adopted for different call-ready states, which can prevent the user from missing the incoming call prompt of the Bluetooth headset and improve the user experience.

[0075] Example 2

[0076] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a method for controlling incoming calls on a Bluetooth headset provided by an embodiment of the present invention; it includes:

[0077] 401. Receive a human body signal. The human body signal is acquired by an infrared sensor module disposed in the ear shell and sent to a control module.

[0078] The human body signal is detected by the infrared sensor module. The control module is the control center of the entire headset. The human body signal may include signals from both ears of the human body. The infrared sensor module may be an infrared sensor or a temperature sensor. It determines whether the ear shell is inside the ear.

[0079] When the ear shell is close to the ear, the infrared sensor or temperature sensor inside the ear shell will automatically identify whether the ear shell is worn in the ear and send the identified signal to the control module.

[0080] 402. Receive a posture signal. The posture signal is acquired by a posture sensor provided in the online controller and sent to a control module.

[0081] The attitude signal is obtained through the attitude sensing module set in the wire controller. The attitude sensing module includes a horizontal sensor and a vertical sensor. The vertical sensor is used to detect the vertical attitude signal of the wire controller, and the horizontal sensor is used to detect the horizontal attitude signal of the wire controller.

[0082] Among them, the posture signal is the posture status of the headphone wire controller, and the posture status of the headphone wire controller is judged by the posture sensor inside the wire controller. For example, when the headphone wire controller is placed horizontally, the posture sensor will judge that the headphone wire controller is in a horizontal posture and send this signal to the control module; when the headphone wire controller is placed vertically, the posture sensor will judge that the headphone wire controller is in a vertical posture and send this signal to the control module.

[0083] 403. Determine whether the Bluetooth headset is in a call-ready state based on the human body signal and the posture signal of the wired controller, and control the Bluetooth headset to prompt an incoming call when in the call-ready state.

[0084] Through step 401 and step 402, the control module obtains the signals from the human ears and whether the headphone wire controller is in a horizontal or vertical position;

[0085] When the control module receives the signal from the human ears, there will be a high and low level feedback. When the ear shell is worn in the human ear, the control module will feedback a high level 1, and when the ear shell is not worn in the human ear, the control module will feedback a low level 0;

[0086] When the headphone wire controller is in a horizontal position, the control module will feedback a low level 0, and when the headphone wire controller is in a vertical position, the control module will feedback a high level 1;

[0087] Only when the control module simultaneously feeds back two high-level 1s, the Bluetooth headset is in a talk-enabled state, and in the talk-enabled state, the Bluetooth headset is controlled to prompt incoming calls. When the control module does not feed back two high-level 1s, the Bluetooth headset is not in a talk-enabled state.

[0088] The embodiment of the present invention uses an infrared sensor or a temperature sensor to determine whether the ear shell is in a wearing state, uses a posture sensor to determine whether the wire controller is in a horizontal posture or a vertical posture, and finally determines whether it is in a call-ready state through the high and low levels of the signal feedback obtained by the control module, and controls the Bluetooth headset to prompt incoming calls in the call-ready state; thereby reducing power consumption and avoiding waste.

[0089] Example 3

[0090] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a flow chart of another method for controlling incoming calls on a Bluetooth headset provided by an embodiment of the present invention; it includes:

[0091] 501. Receive a human body signal. The human body signal is acquired by an infrared sensor module disposed in the ear shell and sent to a control module.

[0092] 502. Receive a posture signal. The posture signal is acquired by a posture sensor provided in the online controller and sent to a control module.

[0093] 503. Determine whether the Bluetooth headset is in a call-ready state based on the human body signal and the vertical posture signal of the wire controller.

[0094] Among them, the posture sensing module is a vertical sensor, which is used to detect the vertical posture signal of the wire controller; the vertical sensor is used to detect the vertical posture signal of the wire controller, and the vertical posture signal includes the vertical state of the wire controller; when the wire controller is in a vertical state, the vertical sensor will send the signal that the wire controller is in a vertical state to the control module, and the control module will feedback the sent signal, and then judge the human body signal at the same time to determine whether the Bluetooth headset is in a call state.

[0095] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a flow chart of another method for controlling incoming calls on a Bluetooth headset provided by an embodiment of the present invention; it includes:

[0099] Among them, the horizontal sensor is used to detect the horizontal posture signal of the wire controller, which includes the horizontal state of the wire controller. When the wire controller is in a horizontal state, the horizontal sensor will send the signal that the wire controller is in a horizontal state to the control module.

[0103] 703. The control module determines whether the Bluetooth headset is in a talk-ready state based on the human body signal and the posture signal of the wired controller, and controls the vibration module to vibrate to prompt the user if the headset is in a talk-ready state.

[0104] The vibration module is located in the inline controller of the headset and includes a vibration chip. The vibration module is connected to the control module by signal. When the control module determines that the Bluetooth headset is in a call state, it sends a command to drive the vibration chip to operate, thereby generating vibration to alert the user. The vibration reminder can be set by the user. For example, if the user needs a vibration reminder in the call state, they can connect to the user terminal device via Bluetooth in advance and set the vibration for incoming calls through the user terminal device. The control module will drive the vibration chip to implement the vibration reminder according to the user's settings.

[0108] 803. The control module determines whether the Bluetooth headset is in a talk-ready state based on the human body signal and the posture signal of the wired controller, and controls the voice prompt module to give a voice prompt to the user if the Bluetooth headset is in a talk-ready state.

[0109] The audio prompt module is located within the inline controller of the headset and includes a sound prompt chip. The audio prompt module is signal-connected to the control module. When the control module determines that the Bluetooth headset is in a call state, it sends a command to drive the audio prompt chip to operate, thereby generating a voice prompt to the user. The audio prompt can be set by the user. For example, if a user requires a sound prompt in a call-ready state, they can connect to the user terminal device via Bluetooth in advance and configure the incoming call sound settings through the user terminal device. The control module then drives the audio prompt chip to implement the voice prompt based on the user's settings.

[0110] The embodiment of the present invention uses a vertical sensor to detect the vertical attitude signal of the wired controller, a horizontal sensor to detect the horizontal attitude signal of the wired controller, a vibration chip to provide a vibration prompt to the user when a call is ready, and a voice prompt chip to provide a voice prompt to the user when a call is ready. This effectively controls the Bluetooth headset to enable calls, reduces power consumption, and avoids waste.
