[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0024] See also Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device 1, which includes: a processor 101, a controller 102, an audio codec 103, a first switch module 104, a first output module 105 and a first input button 21; wherein,

[0025] The processor 101 is connected to the controller 102, the audio codec 103 and the first input button 21 respectively;

[0026] The audio codec 103 is connected to the first output module 105 via the first switch module 104;

[0027] The controller 102 is connected to the first output module 105 via the first switch module 104;

[0028] The processor 101 is configured to, upon detecting that a multimedia data cable is connected to the multimedia data interface of the electronic device 1 and obtaining a first touch operation of touching a first input key, generate a first switching instruction based on the first touch operation and send the instruction to the controller 102;

[0029] The controller 102 is configured to respond to the first switching instruction, connect the path between the first interface of the multimedia data interface and the audio codec, and drive the first switch module 104 to connect the audio codec 103 and the first output module 105 .

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 1 includes but is not limited to integrated devices such as an integrated computer, mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, laptops, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cameras, and fixed terminal devices such as desktop computers.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, the multimedia data interface includes but is not limited to a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), a Display Port (DP) cable, and a Type-C interface.

[0032] HDMI is a fully digital video and audio transmission interface that can transmit uncompressed audio and video signals. DP is a digital video interface. Type-C is significantly smaller than Type-A and Type-B and is the latest Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface standard. This interface has no forward or reverse orientation and can be plugged in and out freely.

[0033] In related art, when a laptop is connected to an electronic device via a multimedia data cable, the display module of the electronic device becomes an external display for the laptop. The user can view the content displayed on the laptop through the display module of the electronic device, but the sound output from the laptop cannot be transmitted to the first output module of the electronic device. However, if the sound signal can only be transmitted to the speaker of the electronic device, for example, if the laptop user needs to wear headphones during a meeting, but the headphones still need to be plugged into the laptop, the user cannot completely disconnect from the laptop. As a result, the electronic device, as an external device of the laptop, can only be used as a display module.

[0034] The present application designs the hardware circuit of the electronic device 1. When the electronic device 1 is plugged into an HDMI or DP cable, if the other end of the HDMI or DP cable is connected to a laptop, the electronic device 1 controls the first switch 104 through the first input button 21 and the controller 102 to automatically transmit the sound signal played by the laptop to the first output module 105, such as the headphone output module, on the host of the electronic device 1, such as an integrated device. The display screen of the electronic device 1 can display content synchronized with the sound signal. At this time, the user can completely disconnect from the laptop and use the external electronic device 1 to view the display content and listen to the sound signal. When the external electronic device 1 is used as an external device for the laptop, the user can use wireless headphones or wired headphones to connect to the first output module 105 of the electronic device 1.

[0035] The electronic device 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a processor 101, a controller 102, an audio codec 103, a first switch module 104, and a first output module 105; wherein the processor 101 is connected to the controller 102 and the audio codec 103 respectively; the audio codec 103 is connected to the first output module 105 through the first switch module 104; the controller 102 is connected to the first output module 105 through the first switch module 104; the processor 101 is used to, if it detects that a multimedia data cable is connected to the multimedia data interface of the electronic device 1 and obtains a first touch operation of touching the first input button, generate a first switching instruction based on the first touch operation and send it to the controller 102; the controller 102 is used to respond to the first switching instruction, turn on the path between the first interface in the multimedia data interface and the audio codec, and drive the first switch module 104 to turn on the audio codec The encoder 103 is connected to the first output module 105; that is, the present application changes the hardware circuit of the electronic device 1, and by providing the first input button 21, the controller 102 and the first switch module 104, and providing the connection structure between the first input button 21, the controller 102 and the first switch module 104 and other hardware in the electronic device, it is ensured that when a multimedia data cable is connected to the multimedia data interface of the electronic device 1 and a first touch operation of touching the first input button is obtained, the sound signal is transmitted to the first output module 105 through the cooperation of the controller 102 and the first switch module 104. In this way, when the electronic device 1 is used as an external display for other devices, the sound signal of the other device controlled by the first input button can be transmitted to the first output module 105 of the electronic device 1, such as the headphone output module, thereby improving the user experience of using the external electronic device 1 as a display.

[0036] In other embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The processor 101 is further configured to, when the audio codec 103 is connected to the first output module 105, generate a second switching instruction based on the second touch operation and send the instruction to the controller 102 if a second touch operation of touching the first input button 21 is obtained; wherein the touch parameters of the second touch operation are different from those of the first touch operation;

[0037] The controller 102 is configured to, in response to a second switching instruction, disconnect the path between the first interface and the audio codec 103, connect the path between the second interface of the multimedia data interface and the audio codec 103, and drive the first switch module 104 to connect the connection between the audio codec 103 and the first output module 105; wherein the second interface is an interface different from the first interface among the at least two interfaces included in the multimedia data interface. Exemplarily, the first interface and the second interface are any one of an embedded display port (EDP), HDMI, and DP. In other words, by performing different touch operations on the first input button 21, the path between one of the EDP / HDMI / DP interfaces and the audio codec 103 can be flexibly connected. In other words, through the improvement of the hardware circuit, the present application can switch between different modes by touch switching operation of the first input button 21 when the electronic device supports HDMI, EDP, or DP cable, and transmit sound to the speakers and headphones on the AIO host.

[0038] For example, there are three signal sources on the AIO host: EDP / HDMI / DP. The on-screen display (OSD) interface corresponding to each source is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the default display mode is: all-in-one machine. After pressing the first input button 21 once, the controller 102 receives a signal, and the display output and sound output (speaker and headphone) will switch to wireless projection; after pressing the first input button 21 again, the controller 102 receives a signal, and the display output and sound output (speaker and headphone) will switch to a one-line connection. If you press the switch first input button 21 again, the controller 102 receives a signal, and the display output and sound output (speaker and headphone) will switch to the all-in-one machine. Switching the first input button 21 is a cyclic touch operation, and the display mode and sound output mode of the AIO host are switched in sequence between all-in-one machine → wireless projection → one-line connection.

[0039] In other embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, Figure 1 The electronic device further comprises a display screen 23, Figure 3 The display 23 in Figure 1 The controller 102 is connected; wherein,

[0040] The controller 102 is also used to control the display screen 23 to perform split-screen display; and is used to respond to a first switching instruction, connect the path between the first interface corresponding to the first sub-screen after the split screen in the multimedia data interface and the audio codec 103, and drive the first switch module 104 to connect the connection between the audio codec 103 and the first output module 105.

[0041] For example, see Figure 3 The 1:1 split screen switching scenario shown in the figure assumes that the default sound output is on the left side when the screen is split in 1:1. By pressing the first input button 21, the sound output is switched to the right screen. At this time, the sound output corresponding to the second interface will be switched to the right screen when pressed again. At this time, the sound output corresponding to the first interface is switched.

[0042] In other embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 1 The processor is further configured to, when the audio codec 103 is connected to the first output module 105, generate a second switching instruction based on the second touch operation and send it to the controller 102 if a second touch operation of touching the first input button 21 is obtained; wherein the touch parameters of the second touch operation are different from those of the first touch operation;

[0043] The controller 102 is used to respond to the second switching instruction, disconnect the path between the first interface and the audio codec 103, connect the path between the second interface corresponding to the second sub-screen after splitting the screen in the multimedia data interface and the audio codec 103, and drive the first switch module 104 to connect the connection between the audio codec 103 and the first output module 105; wherein the second interface is an interface different from the first interface among the at least two interfaces included in the multimedia data interface, and the second sub-screen is a screen different from the first sub-screen among the multiple sub-screens after splitting the screen.

[0044] For example, see Figure 4 In the 4-split screen switching scenario shown, assuming that the default sound output is on the all-in-one machine when the 4-split screen is on, by pressing Figure 1 The first input button 21 shown, the controller 102 receives a signal and switches the sound to wireless projection. Press it again, the controller 102 receives a signal and switches to a one-line connection. That is to say, in the 4-split screen switching scene, the sound switching is a cycle: all-in-one machine (for example, the sound corresponding to the fifth interface) → wireless projection (for example, the sound corresponding to the fourth interface) → one-line connection (for example, the sound corresponding to the third interface) → all-in-one machine (for example, the sound corresponding to the fifth interface).

[0045] In the examples of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, electronic device 1 further includes a first amplifier 106, which is disposed between first switch module 104 and first output module 105. First amplifier 106 is configured to amplify the audio signal transmitted by audio codec 103 and transmit the amplified audio signal to first output module 105. Disposing first amplifier 106 between first switch module 104 and first output module 105 allows the high-frequency portion of the audio signal output by first output module 105 to be more refined and extended, while also enhancing the layered nature of the low-frequency portion, thereby achieving a better sound output effect.

[0046] In the examples of this application, see Figure 5 As shown, the electronic device 1 further includes: a second input button 22, a second switch module 107 and a second output module 108; wherein,

[0047] The second input button 22 is connected to the processor 101;

[0048] The second switch module 107 is connected to the controller 102;

[0049] The audio codec 103 is connected to the second output module 108 via the second switch module 107;

[0050] The processor 101 is further configured to, if it is detected that a multimedia data cable is connected to the multimedia data interface and a third touch operation of touching the second input key is obtained, generate a second switching instruction based on the third touch operation and send it to the controller 102;

[0051] The controller 102 is configured to respond to the second switching instruction, connect the first interface and the audio codec 103 , drive the first switch module 104 to close, and drive the second switch module 107 to connect the audio codec 103 and the second output module 108 .

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, through the circuit design of the hardware of the electronic device 1, when the electronic device 1 is plugged into an HDMI or DP cable, if the other end of the HDMI or DP cable is connected to a laptop, the electronic device 1 controls the first switch module 104 and the second switch module 107 through the controller 102 to cooperate with each other, and automatically transmits the sound signal played by the laptop to the second output module 108 on the host of the electronic device 1, such as an integrated device, and the display screen of the electronic device 1 can display content synchronized with the sound signal.

[0053] In the examples of this application, see Figure 5 As shown, the electronic device 1 further includes:

[0054] The second amplifier 109 is disposed between the second switch module 107 and the second output module 108. The second amplifier 109 is used to amplify the audio signal transmitted by the audio codec 103 and transmit the amplified audio signal to the second output module 108. The second amplifier 109 is disposed between the second switch module 107 and the second output module 108 to control the high-frequency portion of the audio signal output by the second output module 108 to be more delicate and extended, while also enhancing the layering of the low-frequency portion, thereby achieving a better sound output effect.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the input buttons included in the electronic device 1, such as the first input button 21 and the second input button 22, can be set on the surface of the electronic device 1 facing the user, or on the side of the electronic device. The present application does not specifically limit the position of the input buttons on the electronic device 1. The input buttons are connected to the processor 101, wherein:

[0056] The processor 101 is also used to generate a switching instruction based on the operation if it detects that a multimedia data cable is connected to the multimedia data interface of the electronic device 1 and receives an operation of the touch input key; wherein the switching instruction includes a first switching instruction corresponding to the operation of the first key on the touch input key, or a second switching instruction corresponding to the operation of the second key on the touch input key.

[0057] The present application designs the hardware circuit of the electronic device 1. When the electronic device 1 is plugged into an HDMI or DP cable, the electronic device 1 can automatically transmit sound to the second output module 108 and the first output module 105 on the host of the electronic device 1 based on the operation of the touch input button.

[0058] Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the external input buttons of the Type-C interface of the electronic device 1, including the first input button and the second input button, can also be used to make a judgment to add logical judgment, and then the electronic device 1 can choose to transmit the sound to the second output module 108 or the first output module 105 on the host of the electronic device 1 according to the judgment result.
