[0041] With the widespread use of audio conferencing, the sound pickup performance of microphones plays a vital role in the effectiveness of conferences. Based on the scenarios of medium and large conference rooms, the existing conference equipment has the problem of insufficient long-distance sound pickup. At present, the solution to this problem is to use dedicated expansion microphones, which can assist in sound pickup at a long distance. However, the product R&D investment of using dedicated expansion microphones is large, and the interface types of expansion microphones are not unified, which increases the user's purchase and maintenance costs, and is inconvenient for users to deploy and maintain, affecting the user experience.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] Reference Attachment Figure 1 To solve the above problem, the present application provides a solution for utilizing the microphone of a user's existing device as an extended microphone for a conference device. The solution is implemented by the control method proposed in the first embodiment of the present application. The control method includes the following steps:

[0044] Step 101: The first electronic device 1 is in a first state. In the first state, the first electronic device 1 can collect audio information through the first collection module 11 and transmit the audio information to the processing module;

[0045] Specifically, the first electronic device 1 is an electronic device commonly used by users, especially an electronic device commonly used in conference scenarios, for example, it can be but not limited to a laptop computer, a tablet computer, etc. The first electronic device 1 has a first acquisition module 11 that can realize audio information acquisition. The first acquisition module 11 can be specifically a microphone, and the first electronic device 1 also has a processing module. The processing module can be specifically a processor of a laptop computer, which is used for information processing and system operation, etc., and is the calculation and control core of the first electronic device 1; the first electronic device 1 has a first state. When it is in the first state, it can collect audio information through the first acquisition module 11, and can transmit the collected audio information to the processing module by the first acquisition module 11, that is, in this state, the first acquisition module 11 serves as the audio acquisition device of the first electronic device 1 itself. Among them, the first state can specifically be the state when the first electronic device 1 is not connected to other electronic devices with audio acquisition functions.

[0046] Step 102a: When the first electronic device 1 establishes a communication connection with the second electronic device 2 having the second acquisition module, detecting whether a first condition is met;

[0047] Step 103a: When the first condition is met, the first electronic device 1 switches from the first state to the second state. In the second state, the first electronic device 1 transmits the collected audio information to the second electronic device 2.

[0048] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in the present application, when a first electronic device 1 establishes a communication connection with a second electronic device 2 having a second acquisition module, the processing module of the first electronic device 1 detects whether the access of the second electronic device 2 meets a first condition. The first condition here can be a condition that a specific interface of the first electronic device 1 is in a connected state, or it can also be a condition that a certain interface of the first electronic device 1 is connected to a specific connector; when it is judged that the first condition is met, the first electronic device 1 switches from the first state to the second state. In the second state, audio information is collected through the first acquisition module 11 of the first electronic device 1, and the audio information can be transmitted to the second electronic device 2. The second electronic device 2 that meets the first condition can be a conference device, so that the first acquisition module 11 of the first electronic device 1 can assist the second electronic device 2 to realize the collection function of audio information at a longer distance, thereby effectively solving the problem of poor long-distance sound pickup effect of the conference device. At the same time, the user does not need to purchase a dedicated expansion microphone, which reduces the user's purchase and maintenance costs.

[0049] According to the above, an embodiment of the present application proposes a control method, which can assist the second electronic device 2 to achieve a longer-distance sound pickup function through the first acquisition module 11 of the first electronic device 1. When the first electronic device 1 establishes a communication connection with the second electronic device 2 having the second acquisition module and the first condition is met, the first electronic device 1 switches to the second state, and the audio information collected by its first acquisition module 11 can be transmitted to the second electronic device 2, that is, it assists the second electronic device 2 to collect long-distance audio information, thereby effectively solving the problem of poor long-distance sound pickup effect of the conference equipment. At the same time, users do not need to purchase a dedicated expansion microphone separately, which reduces the user's purchase and maintenance costs, improves the user experience, and can also expand the use functions of devices such as laptops as the first electronic device 1, thereby enhancing the market competitiveness of conference equipment and laptops.

[0050] For further information, see the attached Figure 2 In a specific implementation, the processing method provided in this embodiment further includes the following steps:

[0051] Step 102b: When the first electronic device 1 establishes a communication connection with the second electronic device 2 having the second acquisition module, detecting whether a second condition is met;

[0052] Step 103b: When the second condition is met, the first electronic device 1 switches from the first state to a third state. In the third state, the first electronic device 1 obtains the audio information collected by the second electronic device 2 through the second collection module.

[0053] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in the present application, when a first electronic device 1 establishes a communication connection with a second electronic device 2 having a second acquisition module, it is also necessary to detect through the processing module of the first electronic device 1 whether the access of the second electronic device 2 meets the second condition. The second condition here can be a condition that another specific interface of the first electronic device 1, which is different from the first condition, is in a connected state, or it can also be a condition that a certain interface of the first electronic device 1 is connected to a specific connector, which is different from the first condition; when it is judged that the second condition is met, the first electronic device 1 switches from the first state to the third state. In the third state, the first acquisition module 11 of the first electronic device 1 is in a closed state, and the first electronic device 1 collects audio information through the second acquisition module of the second electronic device 2, that is, the first electronic device 1 can obtain the audio information collected by the second acquisition module; the second electronic device 2 that meets the second condition can be a headset. In this state, audio information is collected and played through the headset.

[0054] Furthermore, in a specific implementation, the first electronic device 1 establishes a communication connection with the second electronic device 2 through a wired connection; or, the first electronic device 1 establishes a communication connection with the second electronic device 2 through a wireless connection, wherein the second electronic device 2 has a receiver, and the receiver can establish a communication connection with the first electronic device 1, so that the second electronic device 2 can communicate wirelessly with the first electronic device 1.

[0055] Specifically, in order to establish a communication connection between the first electronic device 1 and the second electronic device 2, the specific implementation method is not limited to one. In the technical solution adopted in this application, the first electronic device 1 can be connected to the second electronic device 2 through a wired connection, which can be achieved by setting corresponding interfaces on the first electronic device 1 and the second electronic device 2 and connecting the wire 3. The second electronic device 2 that meets the first condition and the second electronic device 2 that meets the second condition can correspond to different interfaces on the first electronic device 1; or the first electronic device 1 can also be connected to the second electronic device 2 through a wireless connection, specifically: the second electronic device 2 has a receiver, and an interface is set on the first electronic device 1 to accommodate the receiver. The first electronic device 1 is wirelessly connected to the second electronic device 2 through the receiver, without the need for additional wires, easy to use, and can improve the user experience.

[0056] Furthermore, in a specific implementation, in the second state, the first electronic device 1 transmits the collected audio information to the second electronic device 2 and the processing module.

[0057] Specifically, in order to meet the user's usage needs in different scenarios and further enrich the usage functions of the first electronic device 1, in the technical solution adopted in this application, when the first electronic device 1 is in the second state, the audio information collected by the first acquisition module 11 of the first electronic device 1 can be divided into two paths and transmitted to the second electronic device 2 and the processing module respectively, that is, the first electronic device 1 and the second electronic device 2 can both obtain audio information to meet the different usage needs of the user.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] Reference Attachment Figure 3 To solve the above problem, embodiment 2 of the present application provides an electronic device, to which the above control method can be applied. The electronic device includes: a first acquisition module 11, for collecting audio information; a processing module, for receiving and processing the audio information; and a control module, for controlling the first electronic device 1 to switch from a first state to a second state when the first electronic device 1 establishes a communication connection with a second electronic device 2 having a second acquisition module and a first condition is met. In the first state, the first electronic device 1 can collect audio information through the first acquisition module 11 and transmit the audio information to the processing module. In the second state, the first electronic device 1 transmits the collected audio information to the second electronic device 2.

[0060] Specifically, the electronic device provided in this embodiment is the above-mentioned first electronic device 1, which can be specifically a laptop computer, tablet computer, or other device having a first acquisition module 11, which can perform audio acquisition. It can be used independently, or it can be used as an extended microphone for conference equipment in scenarios such as audio and video conferencing. The first electronic device 1 specifically includes: a first acquisition module 11 and a processing module. The first acquisition module 11 can specifically be a microphone, which can be used to collect audio information; the processing module is the computing and processing core of the first electronic device 1. In addition to controlling the operation of the first electronic device 1, it is also used to detect whether a first condition is met when a communication connection is established between the first electronic device 1 and the second electronic device 2 having the second acquisition module. If the first condition is met, the first electronic device 1 is controlled to switch from the first state to the second state. In the first state, the first electronic device 1 can collect audio information through the first acquisition module 11, and the collected audio information can be sent to the audio codec 123 of the first electronic device 1, that is, the first acquisition module. The device is used for audio collection of the first electronic device 1 itself, and in the second state, the audio information collected by the first collection module 11 of the first electronic device 1 is transmitted to the second electronic device 2, or transmitted to the first electronic device 1 and the second electronic device 2. The second electronic device 2 that meets the first condition can be a conference device, that is, in this state, the first collection module 11 of the first electronic device 1 can assist the second electronic device 2 to realize the function of collecting audio information at a longer distance, thereby effectively solving the problem of poor long-distance sound pickup effect of the conference device; the above-mentioned first condition can be the condition that a specific interface of the first electronic device 1 is in a connected state, or it can also be the condition that a certain interface of the first electronic device 1 is connected to a specific connector.

[0061] According to the above, an embodiment of the present application proposes an electronic device, which, when the second electronic device 2 establishing a communication connection with the first electronic device 1 meets the first condition, can assist the second electronic device 2 in collecting audio information at a longer distance through the first acquisition module 11 of the first electronic device 1, thereby effectively solving the problem of poor long-distance sound pickup effect of the conference equipment. At the same time, the user does not need to purchase a dedicated expansion microphone, which reduces the user's purchase and maintenance costs, improves the user's usage experience, and can also expand the use functions of devices such as laptops as the first electronic device 1, thereby enhancing the market competitiveness of conference equipment and laptops.

[0062] Furthermore, in a specific implementation, the control module is also used to control the first electronic device 1 to switch from the first state to the third state when the first electronic device 1 establishes a communication connection with the second electronic device 2 having the second acquisition module and the second condition is met. In the third state, the first electronic device 1 obtains the audio information collected by the second electronic device 2 through the second acquisition module.

[0063] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in the present application, when a communication connection is established between a first electronic device 1 and a second electronic device 2 having a second acquisition module, the control module is also used to detect whether a second condition is met. If the second condition is met, the first electronic device 1 is controlled to switch from the first state to the third state. In the third state, the first electronic device 1 can collect audio information through the second acquisition module of the second electronic device 2. The second electronic device 2 that meets the second condition can be a headset; the above-mentioned second condition can be a condition that another specific interface of the first electronic device 1, which is different from the first condition, is in a connected state, or it can also be a condition that a certain interface of the first electronic device 1 is connected to a specific connector, which is different from the first condition.

[0064] For further information, see the attached Figure 3 In a specific implementation, the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes: at least one interface for connecting to the second electronic device 2 so that the first electronic device 1 and the second electronic device 2 establish a communication connection; the control module also includes: a detection unit 121, connected to the at least one interface, for detecting the connection status of the at least one interface.

[0065] Specifically, in order to establish a communication connection between the first electronic device 1 and the second electronic device 2, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the first electronic device 1 can be connected to the second electronic device 2 through a wired connection. Specifically, at least one interface can be set on the first electronic device 1 for connecting to the second electronic device 2 so that the two can establish a communication connection; in order to enable the control module to determine whether the first condition or the first condition and the second condition are met, the control module also includes: a detection unit 121, which can detect the connection status of the interface by connecting the detection unit 121 to at least one signal of all the above-mentioned interfaces, and the control module can switch the status of the first electronic device 1 according to the connection status of the interface.

[0066] Furthermore, in a specific implementation, one of the interfaces is used to accommodate a receiver of the second electronic device 2 , and the receiver can establish a communication connection with the first electronic device 1 , so that the second electronic device 2 can communicate wirelessly with the first electronic device 1 .

[0067] Specifically, in order to establish a communication connection between the first electronic device 1 and the second electronic device 2, the specific implementation method is not limited to one. In the technical solution adopted in this application, the first electronic device 1 can also be connected to the second electronic device 2 through a wireless connection. Specifically, at least one interface is set on the first electronic device 1, and the second electronic device 2 has a receiver. An interface in the first electronic device 1 is used to accommodate the receiver, so that the first electronic device 1 can establish a communication connection with the receiver, and then the first electronic device 1 and the second electronic device 2 can communicate wirelessly, so no additional wires are required for connection, which is easy to use and can improve the user experience.

[0068] Furthermore, in a specific implementation, the number of interfaces for connecting the second electronic device 2 can be two, namely a first interface and a second interface, and the first interface is different from the second interface; when the second electronic device 2 that matches the first interface is connected to the first interface, the first condition is met; when the second electronic device 2 that matches the second interface is connected to the second interface, the second condition is met; the detection unit 121 is used to detect the signal level of the first interface, and the control module controls the first electronic device 1 to be in the first state or the second state according to the signal level.

[0069] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in the present application, two interfaces for connecting different second electronic devices 2 can be set on the electronic device, namely a first interface and a second interface. When the second electronic device 2 matching the first interface is connected to the first interface, the first condition is met, and when the second electronic device 2 matching the second interface is connected to the second interface, the second condition is met; since when the second condition is met, the first electronic device 1 collects audio information through the second acquisition module of the second electronic device 2, the detection unit 121 only needs to detect whether the second interface is connected to the second electronic device 2, and the control module can turn off the first acquisition module 11 of the first electronic device 1 when it is determined that the second condition is met; and when the first condition is met, it involves a change in the transmission direction of the audio information collected by the first acquisition module 11. The detection unit 121 detects the signal level of the first interface so that the control module determines whether the first condition is met based on the signal level, thereby controlling the first electronic device 1 to be in the first state or the second state.

[0070] Specifically, in order to change the transmission direction of the audio information collected by the first collection module 11 under the first condition, the technical solution adopted by this application is as follows: Figure 3 , Attachment Figure 4 and attached Figure 5The control module also includes: a switch unit 122, which is signal-connected to the detection unit 121 to receive the signal level of the first interface; the switch unit 122 includes: an input pin, a first output pin, and a second output pin, wherein the first output pin is connected to the processing module, and the second output pin is connected to the first interface; the switch unit 122 can be used to connect the input pin to the first output pin, or connect the input pin to the second output pin according to the signal level, specifically: when the first interface is not connected to the second electronic device 2 matched with it, the signal level of the first interface measured by the detection unit 121 is a high level, that is, the first condition is not met, and the input pin of the switch unit 122 is connected to the first output pin. So that the audio information collected by the first acquisition module 11 is transmitted to the processing module of the first electronic device 1, specifically, it can be transmitted to the audio codec 123 of the first electronic device 1; and when the first interface is connected to the second electronic device 2 that matches it, the signal level of the first interface measured by the detection unit 121 is a low level, that is, the first condition is met, and the input pin and the second output pin of the switch unit 122 are connected, so that the audio information collected by the first acquisition module 11 is transmitted to the second electronic device 2, specifically, it can be transmitted to the data signal processing module 21 of the second electronic device 2, so that the first acquisition module 11 of the first electronic device 1 can assist the second electronic device 2 to realize the audio information collection function over a longer distance.

[0071] Specifically, the following description takes the first electronic device 1 as a laptop computer and the second electronic device 2 that meets the first condition as a conference device as an example. A connecting wire 3 can be used to achieve communication connection between the laptop computer and the conference device. The laptop computer has a USB Type-C interface and the conference device has an audio jack. The connecting wire 3 can specifically include a connecting wire and standard USB Type-C connectors at both ends of the connecting wire and a 4-section headphone connector; refer to the attached Figure 4 When the conference device is not connected to the laptop, the signal level of the first interface measured by the detection unit 121 is a high level, and the audio information collected by the laptop microphone is transmitted to the audio codec 123; Figure 5 , when the USB Type-C connector of the connecting wire 3 and the 4-section headphone connector are respectively plugged into the USB Type-C interface of the laptop and the audio jack of the conference device, the pull-down resistors of the CC1 and CC2 pins of the USB Type-C connector make the signal level of the first interface measured by the detection unit 121 be low. At this time, the switch unit 122 performs a switching action, and the audio information collected by the microphone of the laptop is transmitted to the data signal processing module 21 of the conference device through the USB Type-C interface and the SUB1 and SUB2 pins of the connector, thereby realizing the use of the laptop microphone as an extended microphone of the conference device to solve the long-distance sound pickup requirement; It should be noted that the attached Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 It is only used to illustrate the difference in the connection status of the switch unit 122, that is, the switching action of the switch unit 122.
