[0059] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with 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. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] It should be noted that, if there is no conflict, the various features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, all within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, although the functional modules are divided in the device schematic diagram and the logical order is shown in the flow chart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be performed in a different order from the module division in the device or the flow chart. Furthermore, the words "first", "second", "third", etc. used in the present invention do not limit the data and execution order, but only distinguish the same items or similar items with basically the same functions and effects.

[0061] See also Figure 1The TWS earphone system 100 includes a first TWS earphone 11, a second TWS earphone 12 and a charging compartment 13. The charging compartment 13 provides two receiving slots for accommodating the first TWS earphone 11 and the second TWS earphone 12 respectively. The charging compartment 13 can charge the first TWS earphone 11 and the second TWS earphone 12.

[0062] The first TWS headset 11 establishes a Bluetooth communication connection with the second TWS headset 12, and the first TWS headset 11 and the second TWS headset 12 communicate with each other based on the Bluetooth communication connection.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first TWS headset 11 can be the master headset, and the second TWS headset 12 can be the slave headset. For example, the first TWS headset 11 broadcasts its own pairing information, and the second TWS headset 12 scans the pairing information of the first TWS headset 11. If the second TWS headset 12 successfully authenticates the pairing information of the first TWS headset 11, the second TWS headset 12 can be paired with the first TWS headset 11, wherein the first TWS headset 11 is the master headset and the second TWS headset 12 is the slave headset. Of course, some embodiments can also customize the selection of the master headset and the slave headset in the first TWS headset 11 and the second TWS headset 12 according to some rules.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first TWS headset 11 may be a slave headset, and the second TWS headset 12 may be a master headset. For example, the second TWS headset 12 broadcasts its pairing information, and the first TWS headset 11 scans the pairing information of the second TWS headset 12. If the first TWS headset 11 successfully authenticates the pairing information of the second TWS headset 12, the first TWS headset 11 can be paired with the second TWS headset 12, wherein the first TWS headset 11 is a slave headset, and the second TWS headset 12 is a master headset.

[0065] In some embodiments, when the first TWS headset 11 or the second TWS headset 12 is placed in the charging compartment 13 for charging, the user takes out the first TWS headset 11 or the second TWS headset 12 from the charging compartment 13, and then the first TWS headset 11 or the second TWS headset 12 starts to enter the working state, for example, the first TWS headset 11 or the second TWS headset 12 starts to initialize and performs a reconnection operation or a pairing operation, wherein the reconnection operation refers to the two TWS headsets that have been successfully paired before. When one TWS headset enters the working state, this TWS headset starts to search for the pairing information of the other TWS headset. If it is found, it is paired. This process can be regarded as a reconnection operation. If it is not found, a suitable TWS headset is searched for pairing. Therefore, when the TWS headset is taken out of the charging compartment, the TWS headset automatically enters the working state.

[0066] In some embodiments, the difference from the above embodiments is that when the TWS earphone is taken out of the charging compartment, the TWS earphone is not yet able to enter the working state, and the TWS earphone needs to wait for the user's operation before entering the working state. For example, when the first TWS earphone 11 or the second TWS earphone 12 is placed in the charging compartment 13 for charging, after the user takes out the first TWS earphone 11 or the second TWS earphone 12 from the charging compartment 13, the user also needs to touch the start button of the first TWS earphone 11 or the second TWS earphone 12 before the first TWS earphone 11 or the second TWS earphone 12 can enter the working state.

[0067] When the first TWS headset 11 or the second TWS headset 12 enters the working state, the first TWS headset 11 or the second TWS headset 12 needs to record the current local time in order to subsequently execute the TWS headset pairing method described in the various embodiments below.

[0068] It can be understood that the first TWS earphone can be the left earphone and the second TWS earphone can be the right earphone, or the first TWS earphone can be the right earphone and the second TWS earphone can be the left earphone. This document does not limit the master-slave type of the first TWS earphone and the second TWS earphone, nor does it limit the left and right types of the first TWS earphone and the second TWS earphone.

[0069] An embodiment of the present invention provides a TWS earphone pairing method, which is applied to a first TWS earphone.

[0070] See also Figure 2 , TWS headset pairing methods include:

[0071] S21: receiving pairing information sent by the second TWS headset.

[0072] In this step, the pairing information is the information for pairing the second TWS headset with the first TWS headset, wherein the pairing information can be in a data format that meets the TWS protocol. For example, the pairing information includes an access code (Access Code), a data header (Header) and a message carrier (Payload), wherein the access code is associated with the Bluetooth address of the second TWS headset, the data header is used for transmission control, and the message carrier carries the data content to be sent. It can be understood that the data content in the message carrier can be customized by the user according to design requirements.

[0073] S22: Determine a second time when the second TWS headset enters a working state according to the pairing information.

[0074] In this step, the second time is the time when the second TWS headset enters the working state. For example, after the second TWS headset is taken out of the charging compartment, the second TWS headset automatically enters the working state, so the second TWS headset starts to record the current local time and uses the current local time as the second time. For another example, after the second TWS headset is taken out of the charging compartment, the user touches to start the second TWS headset, and the second TWS headset enters the working state. So the second TWS headset starts to record the current local time and uses the current local time as the second time.

[0075] In some embodiments, the second TWS headset may encapsulate the second time into a message carrier, and the second time is received by the first TWS headset along with the pairing information of the second TWS headset.

[0076] In some embodiments, the second TWS headset stores the second time locally.

[0077] In some embodiments, the pairing information carries a timestamp, and the first TWS headset extracts the timestamp based on the pairing information, wherein the timestamp is signature data encapsulating the second time, and the first TWS headset parses the pairing information and extracts the timestamp therefrom. Then, the first TWS headset extracts the second time when the second TWS headset enters the working state based on the timestamp.

[0078] S23: Obtain the first time when the first TWS headset enters the working state.

[0079] In this step, the first time is the time when the first TWS headset enters the working state. For example, after the first TWS headset is taken out of the charging compartment, the first TWS headset automatically enters the working state, so the first TWS headset starts to record the current local time and uses the current local time as the first time. For another example, after the first TWS headset is taken out of the charging compartment, the user touches to start the first TWS headset, and the first TWS headset enters the working state. So the first TWS headset starts to record the current local time and uses the current local time as the first time.

[0080] In this step, the first TWS headset stores the first time locally.

[0081] S24: Control pairing between the first TWS headset and the second TWS headset according to the first time, the second time and the preset time threshold.

[0082] In this step, the preset time threshold can be customized by the user according to engineering experience. For example, the preset time threshold is 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, or 5 minutes.

[0083] This embodiment can effectively and reliably automatically control the pairing between the first TWS headset and the second TWS headset, avoiding the phenomenon of serial pairing or mismatching as much as possible, and the pairing operation is simple, which is conducive to improving the pairing efficiency of the TWS headset.

[0084] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , S24 includes:

[0085] S241: Calculate the absolute value of the time difference between the first time and the second time;

[0086] S242: Determine whether the absolute value is less than or equal to a preset duration threshold;

[0087] S243: If the absolute value is less than or equal to the preset duration threshold, control the first TWS headset to pair with the second TWS headset.

[0088] In step S241, the first TWS headset calculates the absolute value of the time difference between the first time and the second time according to the following formula:

[0089] |T1-T2|=ΔT, wherein T1 is the first time, T2 is the second time, and ΔT is the absolute value of the time difference between the first time and the second time.

[0090] In step S242, the first TWS headset determines whether the absolute value is less than or equal to the preset time threshold according to the following formula: Determine ΔT≤Ts?, where Ts is the preset time threshold.

[0091] In step S243, if ΔT≤Ts, the first TWS headset is paired with the second TWS headset. Generally, assuming that the TWS headset automatically enters the working state after being taken out of the charging compartment, when the user needs to use the first TWS headset and the second TWS headset at the same time, the interval between the first removal operation of taking out the first TWS headset and the second removal operation of taking out the second TWS headset is relatively short, and this interval is short enough to distinguish other TWS headsets.

[0092] For example, see Figure 4 , assuming that there are a third TWS headset 43 and a fourth TWS headset 44, as well as a fifth TWS headset 45 and a sixth TWS headset 46 around the first TWS headset 41 and the second TWS headset 42, wherein the first TWS headset 41 and the second TWS headset 42 can be placed in the first charging compartment 47, the third TWS headset 43 and the fourth TWS headset 44 can be placed in the second charging compartment 48, and the fifth TWS headset 45 and the sixth TWS headset 46 can be placed in the third charging compartment 49.

[0093] Assume that the preset duration threshold is 30 seconds.

[0094] User A takes out the second TWS earphone 42 from the first charging bin 47 at time point t1 and takes out the first TWS earphone 41 from the first charging bin 47 at time point t2. Among them, the second TWS earphone 42 broadcasts pairing information, and the first TWS earphone 41 monitors the pairing information. Among them, t2 - t1 = 15 seconds.

[0095] User B takes out the fourth TWS earphone 44 from the second charging bin 48 at time point t3 and takes out the third TWS earphone 43 from the second charging bin 48 at time point t4. Among them, the fourth TWS earphone 44 broadcasts pairing information, and the third TWS earphone 43 monitors the pairing information. Among them, t1 < t3 < t2, t4 > t2, and t4 - t3 = 28 seconds, t4 - t1 = 33 seconds.

[0096] User C takes out the sixth TWS earphone 46 from the third charging bin 49 at time point t5 and takes out the fifth TWS earphone 45 from the third charging bin 49 at time point t6. Among them, the sixth TWS earphone 46 broadcasts pairing information, and the fifth TWS earphone 45 monitors the pairing information. Among them, t4 < t5 < t6, and t6 - t5 = 20 seconds, t5 - t1 = 48 seconds.

[0097] As can be seen from the above description, the times when different users take out TWS earphones from the charging bin are usually different, and the absolute value of the time difference between two TWS earphones from different charging bins is also relatively large. Therefore, by comparing the absolute value with the preset duration threshold, the pairable TWS earphones can be effectively and reliably determined. As mentioned above, for the first TWS earphone 41, t2 - t1 = 15 seconds, and 15 seconds is less than the preset duration threshold of 30 seconds. t4 - t1 = 33 seconds, and 33 seconds is greater than the preset duration threshold of 30 seconds. t5 - t1 = 48 seconds, and 48 seconds is greater than the preset duration threshold of 30 seconds.

[0098] Therefore, for the first TWS earphone 41, the first TWS earphone 41 will pair with the second TWS earphone 42, rather than pairing with the fourth TWS earphone 44 or the sixth TWS earphone 46. By adopting this method, this embodiment is beneficial to improving the pairing reliability and pairing efficiency, thereby being able to enhance the user experience.

[0099] In some embodiments, when there are multiple second TWS earphones around the first TWS earphone, in order to accurately and reliably search for the pairable second TWS earphone among multiple second TWS earphones, please refer to Figure 5 , S24 further includes:

[0100] S244: If the absolute value is greater than the preset duration threshold, determine the RSSI strength of the first TWS earphone detecting each second TWS earphone and the absolute value corresponding to each second TWS earphone within the preset duration.

[0101] S245: Control pairing between the first TWS headset and the second TWS headset according to the RSSI strength and absolute value corresponding to each second TWS headset.

[0102] In step S244, when the second TWS headset broadcasts pairing information, the first TWS headset receives the pairing information and can also detect the RSSI strength of the second TWS headset. When there are multiple second TWS headsets in the first TWS headset, and the first TWS headset can search for the pairing information broadcast by each second TWS headset, the first TWS headset can detect the RSSI strength of each second TWS headset and the absolute value corresponding to each second TWS headset. Therefore, the first TWS headset can collect the RSSI strength and absolute value of all second TWS headsets within a preset time, so that the second TWS headset that can be paired can be reliably selected later.

[0103] In step S245, the first TWS headset may control pairing between the first TWS headset and the second TWS headset in combination with any suitable algorithm according to the RSSI strength and absolute value corresponding to each second TWS headset.

[0104] In some embodiments, step S245 includes: judging whether there is an RSSI strength greater than a preset strength threshold according to the RSSI strength corresponding to each second TWS headset, and if so, selecting the second TWS headset corresponding to the RSSI strength greater than the preset strength threshold as the candidate TWS headset, and selecting the second TWS headset corresponding to the maximum absolute value among the candidate TWS headsets as the target TWS headset, and controlling the first TWS headset to pair with the target TWS headset. If not, continue searching for pairing information.

[0105] For example, there are second TWS earphones B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, and B6 around the first TWS earphone. Since the RSSI strengths of the second TWS earphones B1, B3, and B5 are all less than the preset strength threshold, the first TWS earphone discards the second TWS earphones B1, B3, and B5, and selects the second TWS earphones B2, B4, and B6 as candidate TWS earphones.

[0106] Among the second TWS headset B2, the second TWS headset B4, and the second TWS headset B6, since the absolute value of the second TWS headset B4 is the largest, the first TWS headset selects the second TWS headset B4 as the target TWS headset, and the first TWS headset is paired with the second TWS headset B4. In this way, the first TWS headset can relatively reliably screen out the second TWS headset that can be paired.

[0107] In some embodiments, the difference from the above embodiments is that, see Figure 6 , step S245 includes:

[0108] S2451: Normalize the RSSI strength and absolute value corresponding to each second TWS headset to obtain a first normalized value and a second normalized value respectively;

[0109] S2452: Calculate a weighted sum corresponding to each second TWS headset according to the first normalized value and the first weight factor and the second normalized value and the second weight factor;

[0110] S2453: Control pairing of the first TWS headset with the second TWS headset according to each weighted sum.

[0111] In step S2451, please combine the above example. Around the first TWS headset, there are second TWS headset B1, second TWS headset B2, second TWS headset B3, second TWS headset B4, second TWS headset B5, and second TWS headset B6.

[0112] The RSSI strength of the second TWS headset B1 is r1, and its absolute value is d1. The RSSI strength of the second TWS headset B2 is r2, and its absolute value is d2. The RSSI strength of the second TWS headset B3 is r3, and its absolute value is d3. The RSSI strength of the second TWS headset B4 is r4, and its absolute value is d4. The RSSI strength of the second TWS headset B5 is r5, and its absolute value is d5. The RSSI strength of the second TWS headset B6 is r6, and its absolute value is d6.

[0113] The first TWS headset normalizes the RSSI strength and absolute value corresponding to each second TWS headset according to the following formula, as described below:

[0114] η i =tanh(r i ) Formula 1

[0115] ζ i =tanh(d i ) Formula 2

[0116] ψ=α*η i +β*ζi Formula 3

[0117] 1=α+β Formula 4

[0118] Among them, η i is the first normalized value corresponding to the second TWS headset Bi, ζ i is the second normalized value corresponding to the second TWS headset Bi, r i is the RSSI strength corresponding to the second TWS headset Bi, d i is the absolute value corresponding to the second TWS headset Bi, α is the first weight factor, β is the second weight factor, and ψ is the weighted sum.

[0119] In step S2451, the first TWS headset calculates a first normalized value corresponding to each of the second TWS headsets according to Formula 1. The first TWS headset calculates a second normalized value corresponding to each of the second TWS headsets according to Formula 2.

[0120] In step S2452, the first TWS headset calculates the weighted sum corresponding to each second TWS headset according to equations 3 and 4.

[0121] In step S2453, the first TWS headset may control pairing of the first TWS headset with the second TWS headset in combination with any suitable algorithm according to each weighted sum.

[0122] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 , S2453 includes:

[0123] S71: According to each weighted sum, determine whether a second TWS headset whose weighted sum is greater than or equal to a preset weighted threshold can be screened out; if so, execute S72; if not, execute S75.

[0124] S72: If yes, the second TWS headset whose weighted sum is greater than or equal to the preset weighted threshold is selected as the TWS headset to be matched, and S73 is executed.

[0125] S73: Among the TWS earphones to be paired, select the TWS earphone to be paired corresponding to the maximum weighted sum as the target TWS earphone, and execute S74.

[0126] S74: Control the first TWS headset to pair with the target TWS headset.

[0127] S75: If not, control the first TWS headset to refuse pairing with each second TWS headset.

[0128] In combination with the above example, there are second TWS earphone B1, second TWS earphone B2, second TWS earphone B3, second TWS earphone B4, second TWS earphone B5, and second TWS earphone B6 around the first TWS earphone.

[0129] The weighted sum of the second TWS headset B1 is ψ1, the weighted sum of the second TWS headset B2 is ψ2, the weighted sum of the second TWS headset B3 is ψ3, the weighted sum of the second TWS headset B4 is ψ4, the weighted sum of the second TWS headset B5 is ψ5, and the weighted sum of the second TWS headset B6 is ψ6.

[0130] Among them, since the weighted sum ψ1, the weighted sum ψ3 and the weighted sum ψ6 are smaller than the preset weighted threshold, and the weighted sum ψ2, the weighted sum ψ4 and the weighted sum ψ5 are greater than the preset weighted threshold, the first TWS headset regards the second TWS headset B2, the second TWS headset B4 and the second TWS headset B5 as the TWS headsets to be matched.

[0131] Since the weighted sum ψ4 is the largest among the weighted sum ψ2, the weighted sum ψ4, and the weighted sum ψ5, the first TWS headset selects the second TWS headset B4 as the target TWS headset, and the first TWS headset is paired with the second TWS headset B4.

[0132] Since this embodiment takes both the RSSI strength and the absolute value of the time difference into consideration and performs a comprehensive evaluation, it is beneficial for the first TWS headset to search for the second TWS headset that can be paired more reliably and accurately.

[0133] It is understandable that the first weight factor, the second weight factor and the preset weighted threshold can be customized by the user according to engineering experience.

[0134] In some embodiments, the pairing information includes an external encrypted message and a public key. Before determining the second time when the second TWS headset enters the working state according to the pairing information, refer to Figure 8 , TWS headset pairing method also includes:

[0135] S25: Decode the external encrypted message according to the public key to obtain the globally unique identifier and the identity identifier.

[0136] S26: Determine whether the globally unique identifier matches the local globally unique identifier, and whether the identity identifier matches the local identity identifier. If so, proceed to step S22; if not, proceed to S27.

[0137] S27: Discard the pairing information.

[0138] For example, in this embodiment, a globally unique identifier and an identity identifier are written on the message carrier. Since each product has a specific globally unique identifier, the globally unique identifiers of the same products are the same, and the identity identifier is a unique identifier assigned by the Bluetooth Association to each manufacturer. In some embodiments, the globally unique identifier and the identity identifier may form a 16-byte string. In this embodiment, a public key may be applied to encrypt the above string according to the AES encryption algorithm to generate an external encrypted message, wherein, in some embodiments, the public key is a 2-byte known pseudo-random number.

[0139] When the first TWS headset receives the pairing information and extracts the external encrypted message from the pairing information, it then uses the known public key to decode the external encrypted message, thereby obtaining the globally unique identifier and the identity identifier. Next, the first TWS headset matches the globally unique identifier with the local globally unique identifier, and matches the identity identifier with the local identity identifier. If both match at the same time, it means that the second TWS headset is a TWS headset produced by the company, so that the TWS headset produced by external manufacturers can be filtered, thereby further enhancing the pairing reliability and efficiency of the first TWS headset and the second TWS headset, and preventing other devices from camouflaging pairing and malicious attacks, thereby improving the security of pairing.

[0140] In some embodiments, the pairing information further includes earphone characteristic parameters. Before determining the second time when the second TWS earphone enters the working state according to the pairing information, refer to Fig. 9 , TWS headset pairing method also includes:

[0141] S29: Determine whether the earphone characteristic parameters meet the characteristic matching conditions. If so, go to step S22; if not, execute S30.

[0142] S30: discard the pairing information.

[0143] The headphone characteristic parameters include channel characteristic parameters, functional characteristic parameters, etc. The characteristic matching conditions can be customized by the user according to the product characteristics. For example, the characteristic matching conditions include that the channel characteristic parameters of the two TWS headphones are different or the functional characteristic parameters of the two TWS headphones are the same. If the channel characteristic parameters of the two TWS headphones are different or the functional characteristic parameters of the two TWS headphones are the same, the first TWS headset and the second TWS headset meet the characteristic matching conditions, otherwise not.

[0144] In some embodiments, the field of the headphone characteristic parameter consists of a 1-byte role characteristic field and a 2-byte function characteristic field.

[0145] The role attribute field is mainly used to indicate the following situations: 1. Whether the TWS function is supported. 2. Master-slave roles. 3. Whether there is a pairing record. 4. Whether to force pairing. 5. Left and right channel information. For example, if both TWS earphones are left channels, they cannot be paired.

[0146] The feature field is mainly used to indicate the following situations: 1. Whether AAC is supported. 2. Whether broadband voice is supported. 3. Whether synchronous ringing for incoming calls is supported. For example, if one TWS headset supports broadband voice and the other does not, they cannot be paired.

[0147] By adopting the above approach, the internal TWS device can be further filtered out, thereby further enhancing the pairing reliability and efficiency of the first TWS headset and the second TWS headset.
