Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of wireless earphones. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, apparatus, earphone, and readable storage medium for detecting the wearing state of an earphone. Background Art

[0002] During the use of TWS (True Wireless Stereo) earphones, functions such as automatic Bluetooth connection, automatic play or pause of audio files can be achieved by detecting the wearing state of the earphones.

[0003] In related technologies, a capacitance sensor is usually used to detect the wearing state of TWS earphones. Moreover, when arranging the capacitance sensor in the earphone, the installation position of the capacitance sensor is generally selected according to actual experience.

[0004] However, since the auricle sizes of different users are different, setting the capacitance sensor in the above manner will cause the earphone to be unable to adapt to different users. For example, for some users, after the earphone is worn, the worn state of the earphone cannot be detected; for other users, the fit between the earphone and the human ear is poor, and the earphone will shake during use, which is likely to cause misidentification.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new method for detecting the wearing state of an earphone to reduce the false trigger rate and improve the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0053] Although a plurality of devices of the headset 1000 are shown in Figure 1 , the present invention may only relate to some of the devices.

[0062] In the above description, those skilled in the art can design the instructions according to the solution provided by the present disclosure. How the instructions control the processor to operate is well known in the art, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0063] <Method Embodiment>

[0064] The present disclosure embodiment provides a method for detecting the headphone wearing state. The method for detecting the headphone wearing state can be implemented by the Figure 1 shown control system 100. As Figure 2 shown, the method for detecting the headphone wearing state includes the following steps: step S2100 to step S2300.

[0065] Step S2100, when the wearing setting function of the earphone is enabled, when the user performs a first operation on the earphone, obtain a first data set collected by the multiple first sensors, where the first data set includes multiple first signals output by the multiple first sensors.

[0066] In this embodiment, multiple first sensors are provided in the earphone. The multiple first sensors are located in the area where the earphone contacts the human ear, and the detection positions corresponding to each first sensor are different. The multiple first sensors are used to detect the wearing state of the earphone. Exemplarily, the first sensor can be, for example, a capacitance sensor. Providing multiple first sensors in the earphone can be to provide a multi-channel capacitance sensor in the earphone, where one channel corresponds to one capacitance sensor, and the detection positions of the capacitance sensors corresponding to each channel are different. It should be noted here that the present disclosure embodiment does not specifically limit the number of first sensors. For example, as many first sensors as possible can be provided in the available accommodation space of the earphone. In this way, for users with different auricle sizes, through one or more of the first sensors, the wearing state of the earphone can be accurately detected.

[0067] The wearing setting function of the earphone can be to determine the function of the first sensor for detecting the wearing state of the earphone when the earphone is used for the first time or when the user is changed. In this embodiment, based on the communication connection established between the earphone and the electronic device, the wearing setting function of the earphone is run through the electronic device. Exemplarily, a target application for configuring the earphone is installed on the electronic device. After establishing the communication connection between the earphone and the electronic device, open the target application, and run the wearing setting function of the earphone through the target application.

[0068] The first operation can be the operation of the user wearing the earphone. The first data set can be the first signals collected by the multiple first sensors when the earphone is in the worn state. The first data set can include the first signals output by each of the multiple first sensors. Taking the multiple first sensors as multi-channel capacitance sensors as an example, the first data set includes the capacitance signals output by each channel of the multi-channel capacitance sensor when the earphone is in the worn state.

[0069] In one embodiment, before obtaining the first data set collected by the multiple first sensors when the wearing setting function of the earphone is enabled and the user performs a first operation on the earphone, the method further includes: receiving a first instruction sent by the electronic device; in response to the first instruction, enabling the wearing setting function of the earphone.

[0070] In this embodiment, the electronic device can be an electronic device that establishes a communication connection with the earphone and is used to set the earphone. The electronic device can be, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, etc.

[0071] The first instruction may be an instruction sent to the earphone to turn on the wearing setting function of the earphone in response to a first input by the user to the electronic device. The first input may be, for example, a click input on a target control. For example, a target application for configuring the earphone is installed on the electronic device. After establishing a communication connection between the earphone and the electronic device, the target application is opened, and the target control for turning on the wearing setting function of the earphone is clicked. At this time, the electronic device sends a first instruction to the earphone to turn on the wearing setting function of the earphone.

[0072] In this embodiment, when the user first uses the earphone or changes the wearer, the wearing setting function of the earphone can be turned on. In this way, combined with the subsequent steps, the target sensor for detecting the wearing state of the earphone can be re-determined, so that it can be applicable to different wearers and the user experience is better.

[0073] In one embodiment, after obtaining the first data set collected by the multiple first sensors when the user performs a first operation on the earphone, the method further includes: sending a first prompt message to prompt the user to perform the second operation on the earphone.

[0074] The first prompt message is used to prompt the user to perform a second operation. The second operation may be an operation for the user to take off the earphone. For example, the first prompt message is "The first operation has been completed. Please perform the second operation: Take off the earphone".

[0075] In this embodiment, when the user performs a first operation on the earphone and after obtaining the first data set collected by the multiple first sensors, a first prompt message is sent through the earphone to guide the user to perform the second operation, which can prevent the user from taking off the earphone before the first data set is completely collected and can ensure the accuracy of detection.

[0076] After step S2100, step S2200 is executed. When the user performs a second operation on the earphone, a second data set collected by the multiple first sensors is obtained, where the second data set includes multiple second signals output by the multiple first sensors, and the multiple second signals correspond to the multiple first signals one by one.

[0077] The second operation may be an operation for the user to take off the earphone. The second data set may be second signals collected by the multiple first sensors when the earphone is in an unworn state. The second data set may include second signals output by each of the multiple first sensors, and a second signal output by a first sensor corresponds to the first signal output by the first sensor. Taking the multiple first sensors as multi-channel capacitive sensors as an example, the second data set includes capacitance signals output by each channel of the multi-channel capacitive sensors when the earphone is in an unworn state.

[0078] After step S2200, step S2300 is executed to determine a target sensor according to the first data set and the second data set, so as to detect the wearing state of the earphone through the target sensor; wherein, the target sensor is a first sensor among the multiple first sensors whose signal change amount meets a preset condition, and the signal change amount is the difference between the signal value of the first signal and the signal value of the corresponding second signal.

[0079] The target sensor is a first sensor used to detect the wearing state of the earphone during the use of the earphone. The target sensor can be one or multiple, and the present disclosure embodiment does not limit the number of target sensors.

[0080] In this embodiment, the wearing state of the earphone may include a worn state and an unworn state. When the detection position of the first sensor is the target detection position, when the earphone is in the worn state, the detection position of the first sensor fits the auricle of the human ear. In this way, when the earphone is in the unworn state, the earphone is not in contact with the human ear, and the signal value of the second signal output by the first sensor is small. When the earphone is in the worn state, the earphone is in contact with the human ear, and the signal value of the first signal output by the first sensor will increase significantly. That is to say, when the detection position of the first sensor fits the wearer, the difference between the signal value of the first signal and the signal value of the second signal of the first sensor is large.

[0081] However, when the detection position of the first sensor is not the target detection position, when the earphone is in the worn state, the detection position of the first sensor cannot fit the auricle of the human ear completely. In this way, when the earphone is in different wearing states, the difference in the signal values output by the first sensor is not large. That is to say, when the detection position of the first sensor does not fit the wearer, the difference between the signal value of the first signal collected by the first sensor when the earphone is in the worn state and the signal value of the second signal collected by the first sensor when the earphone is in the worn state is small.

[0082] Based on this, according to the first data set and the second data set, that is, according to the signal change amount output by each first sensor, the target sensor can be determined from the multiple first sensors.

[0083] In one embodiment, the first sensors among the multiple first sensors whose signal change amount meets the preset condition include at least one of the following: the first sensors among the multiple first sensors whose signal change amount is greater than the first threshold; the first sensor among the multiple first sensors whose signal change amount is the largest; a preset number of first sensors among the multiple first sensors whose signal change amount is relatively large.

[0084] The following uses a specific example to illustrate different preset conditions.

[0085] Exemplarily, for the first sensors among the multiple first sensors whose signal change amount is greater than the first threshold, they are used as target sensors.

[0086] The first threshold can be used to measure whether the signal values of the first signal output by the first sensor and the second signal meet the requirements. When the signal variable of the first sensor is greater than the first threshold, it indicates that the change in the signal values of the first signal and the second signal output by the first sensor set at the detection position is relatively large, and the wearing state of the earphone can be accurately detected.

[0087] Taking the example of setting 10 first sensors in the earphone, when the user wears the earphone, obtain the first signal output by each of the 10 first sensors; then, when the user takes off the earphone, obtain the second signal output by each of the 10 first sensors; then, determine the signal change amount of each of the 10 first sensors, compare the signal change amounts of these 10 first sensors with the first threshold, and use the first sensors with signal change amounts greater than the first threshold as target sensors. During the use of the earphone, determine the wearing state of the earphone according to the signal output by the target sensors.

[0088] Exemplarily, for the first sensor among the multiple first sensors with the largest signal change amount, it is used as the target sensor.

[0089] Continuing with the example of setting 10 first sensors in the earphone, when the user wears the earphone, obtain the first signal output by each of the 10 first sensors; then, when the user takes off the earphone, obtain the second signal output by each of the 10 first sensors; then, determine the signal change amount of each of the 10 first sensors, compare the signal change amounts of these 10 first sensors, and use the first sensor with the largest signal change amount as the target sensor. During the use of the earphone, determine the wearing state of the earphone according to the signal output by the target sensor.

[0090] Exemplarily, for a preset number of first sensors among the multiple first sensors with relatively large signal change amounts, they are used as target sensors.

[0091] The preset number can be the number of target sensors. The preset number can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual experience. For example, the preset number is 2 - 3, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0092] Continuing with the example of having 10 first sensors set inside the earphone, when the user wears the earphone, obtain the first signal output by each of the 10 first sensors; then, when the user removes the earphone, obtain the second signal output by each of the 10 first sensors; then, determine the signal change amount of each of the 10 first sensors, compare the signal change amounts of these 10 first sensors, and take the 3 first sensors with larger signal change amounts as the target sensors. During the use of the earphone, determine the wearing state of the earphone according to the signals output by the target sensors.

[0093] In this embodiment, the first sensors whose signal change amounts meet the preset conditions are used as target sensors to detect the wearing state of the earphone, which can adapt to users with different auricle sizes, has high detection accuracy, and can reduce the false trigger rate of the earphone.

[0094] In one embodiment, determining the target sensors according to the first data group and the second data group may further include: sending the first data group and the second data group to an electronic device, so that the electronic device determines the target sensors according to the first data group and the second data group.

[0095] The electronic device may be an electronic device that establishes a communication connection with the earphone. Exemplarily, the electronic device may be an electronic device with a Bluetooth communication module. For example, a mobile terminal, which has a Bluetooth communication module and can directly establish a communication connection with the earphone.

[0096] In specific implementation, after the earphone obtains the first data group and the second data group output by multiple first sensors, the first data group and the second data group may be sent to the electronic device. The electronic device determines the target sensors according to the first data group and the second data group, and returns the identification information of the target sensors to the earphone, so that the earphone can determine the target sensors from multiple first sensors and detect the wearing state of the earphone according to the target sensors.

[0097] In this embodiment, the first data group and the second data group can be analyzed and processed by the electronic device, which can reduce the power consumption of the earphone and extend the usage time of the earphone.

[0098] In one embodiment, before determining the target sensors according to the first data group and the second data group, the method further includes: sending the first data group and the second data group to an electronic device, so that the electronic device, when obtaining user information, associates and stores the first data group, the second data group, and the user information.

[0099] In this embodiment, the electronic device can be a mobile terminal or a server. The electronic device can be provided with a first interface, and user information can be obtained through the first interface. The user information can include the user's auricle information. Based on the communication connection between the electronic device and the earphone, a first data set and a second data set corresponding to the auricle information can be obtained to associate and store the user information, the corresponding first data set, and the second data set.

[0100] In this embodiment, after obtaining the first data set and the second data set collected by multiple first sensors, the relationship between the first data set, the second data set, and the corresponding user information can be stored. In this way, for users with the same user or the same auricle information, the corresponding data can be directly obtained to determine the target sensor and the target detection position according to the stored data, making it more convenient to use.

[0101] In one embodiment, after determining the target sensor according to the first data set and the second data set, the method further includes: turning off the wearing setting function of the earphone and sending a second prompt message to the electronic device so that the electronic device outputs the second prompt message.

[0102] The second prompt message is used to prompt the user that the wearing setting of the earphone has been completed. The second prompt message can be a voice prompt message, a text prompt message, a vibration prompt message, etc. For example, the second prompt message is "The wearing setting of the earphone has been completed, please use it".

[0103] In this embodiment, after determining the target sensor according to the first data set and the second data set, the earphone sends a second prompt message to the electronic device to prompt the user that the wearing setting of the earphone has been completed and can be used normally, providing a better user experience.

[0104] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the method further includes: steps S3100 to S3400.

[0105] Step S3100, the electronic device provides a second interface and a third interface;

[0106] Step S3200, through the second interface, obtain a first data set output by multiple first sensors, where the first data set includes multiple first data groups, and each first data set includes signal values of multiple first signals output by multiple first sensors. One first data group corresponds to one user.

[0107] Each first data group in the first data set is the signal value of the first signal output by multiple first sensors when each user wears the earphone. It can be understood that the auricle information of each user is different. For example, the auricle sizes of each user are different.

[0108] Step S3300: Obtain a second data set output by multiple first sensors through the third interface. The second data set includes multiple second data groups, and each second data set includes signal values of multiple second signals output by multiple first sensors. One second data group corresponds to one user.

[0109] For each second data group in the second data set, it is the signal value of the second signal output by multiple first sensors when each user wears the earphone. It can be understood that the auricle information of each user is different. For example, the auricle sizes of each user are different.

[0110] Step S3400: Determine a target sensor based on the first data set and the second data set to detect the wearing state of the earphone through the target sensor; where the target sensor is a first sensor among the multiple first sensors whose signal change amount meets a preset condition, and the signal change amount is the difference between the signal value of the first signal and the signal value of the corresponding second signal.

[0111] Exemplarily, taking 9 first sensors (9-channel capacitive sensors) as an example, assume there are three users with different auricle information, namely, User A, User B, and User C.

[0112] Obtain the signal change amount of the signals output by the 9-channel capacitive sensors of User A. Specifically, when the earphone is in the worn state, obtain the signal value of the first signal output by each channel of the 9-channel capacitive sensor; when the earphone is in the unworn state, obtain the signal value of the second signal output by each channel of the 9-channel capacitive sensor; determine the signal change amount of the signals output by each channel of the 9-channel capacitive sensor.

[0113] Obtain the signal change amount of the signals output by the 9-channel capacitive sensors of User B. Specifically, when the earphone is in the worn state, obtain the signal value of the first signal output by each channel of the 9-channel capacitive sensor; when the earphone is in the unworn state, obtain the signal value of the second signal output by each channel of the 9-channel capacitive sensor; determine the signal change amount of the signals output by each channel of the 9-channel capacitive sensor.

[0114] Obtain the signal change amount of the signals output by the 9-channel capacitive sensors of User C. Specifically, when the earphone is in the worn state, obtain the signal value of the first signal output by each channel of the 9-channel capacitive sensor; when the earphone is in the unworn state, obtain the signal value of the second signal output by each channel of the 9-channel capacitive sensor; determine the signal change amount of the signals output by each channel of the 9-channel capacitive sensor.

[0115] After that, as Figure 4As shown in the figure, the signal change amounts of the output signals of each channel of User A, User B, and User C are compared, and the three first sensors with relatively large signal change amounts corresponding to User A, User B, and User C are used as target sensors. For example, the capacitance sensors corresponding to channel positions 4, 7, and 8 are used as target sensors, that is, channel positions 4, 7, and 8 are used as target detection positions, that is, the positions where it is more suitable to set capacitance sensors.

[0116] In this embodiment, by obtaining the first dataset and the second dataset of users with different auricle information, and determining the optimal setting position of the capacitance sensor according to the first dataset and the second dataset, it is possible to avoid the earphone from not being able to recognize the wearing state of some users and reduce the false triggering rate of the earphone.

[0117] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the wearing setting function of the earphone is turned on, when the user performs a first operation on the earphone, the signal values of the first signals collected by multiple first sensors are obtained; then, when the user performs a second operation on the earphone, the signal values of the second signals collected by multiple first sensors are obtained; then, according to the signal change amounts of the first signals and the second signals collected by the multiple first sensors, the target sensor can be determined. In this way, by setting multiple first sensors in the earphone, when the user first wears the earphone or changes the wearer, according to the difference in the signal values of the first signals collected in the worn state and the second signals collected in the non-worn state by the multiple first sensors, the target sensor that can accurately detect the wearing state of the earphone is determined, so that different users can select the optimal detection position according to actual needs, and the first sensor corresponding to the optimal detection position is used as the target sensor, so that the earphone can be adapted to users with different auricle sizes, avoid the inability to recognize the wearing state, and can also reduce the false triggering rate of the earphone, and the user experience is better.
