Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of headphones, and in particular, to a headphone control method, a headphone control device, a headphone, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] At present, the wearing condition of the earphone is usually determined by detecting the capacitance difference of the capacitive sensor. Specifically, the channel 1 of the capacitive sensor used to detect the capacitance is close to the inner shell of the earphone, and its area may be large, so when the earphone is in the ear, close to the ear or other objects, the channel 1 will be closer to the ear or other objects. Then, compared with the capacitance value when the earphone is suspended, the capacitance value of channel 1 will have a larger jump at this time. And the channel 2 of the capacitive sensor used to detect the capacitance is far away from the inner shell of the earphone, and its area may be small, so when the earphone is in the ear, close to the ear or other objects, the jump of its capacitance value is relatively small or almost no jump. Therefore, the capacitance difference between the above-mentioned channel 1 and channel 2 can be used to detect whether the earphone is out of the ear or in the ear.

[0003] However, since the capacitance difference has drift, it may cause the earphones to touch by mistake, thus reducing the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide an earphone control method, device, earphone and computer-readable storage medium to improve the user experience when the earphone has an accidental touch problem.

[0005] The present invention is achieved in that:

[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an earphone control method, which is applied to earphones, and the method includes: when detecting that the earphone is outside the box, real-time monitoring of the capacitance difference is the difference in capacitance values ​​respectively collected from two sampling channels of the capacitive sensor of the earphone at the same time; if the capacitance difference fluctuates continuously within a first preset time length, the earphone's own state is determined to be an in-ear state.

[0007] In an embodiment of the present application, if the capacitance difference fluctuates continuously within the first preset time, it may be that the capacitance difference fluctuates up and down within a certain time due to the user frequently taking off and putting on the earphones. The reason for the user to frequently take off and put on the earphones is often the problem of earphone mis-touch (i.e., the earphones are not in the ears or the earphones are mistakenly out of the ears) caused by the drift of the capacitance difference of the earphones, that is, when the user puts on the earphones, the earphones are not updated to the in-ear state, making the user unable to use the earphones, or when the user is using the earphones, the earphone state is changed to the out-of-ear state instead of the in-ear state, and the user often takes off and puts on the earphones frequently to make the earphones return to normal. Therefore, when the above situation occurs, the earphone's own state is determined to be the in-ear state, and after the earphone mis-touch problem (i.e., the earphones are not in the ears or the earphones are mistakenly out of the ears) occurs, the earphone state can be quickly adjusted to the user's required state, thereby improving the user experience of the earphones when the mis-touch problem occurs.

[0008] In combination with the technical solution provided in the first aspect above, in some possible implementation methods, after changing the state of the device itself to the in-ear state, the method further includes: continuously obtaining the average value of each capacitance difference corresponding to each time interval, wherein the duration of each time interval is the same; when it is detected that the latest obtained average value is less than the average value corresponding to the first time interval, and the absolute value of the difference between the latest obtained average value and the average value corresponding to the first time interval is greater than a preset value, changing the state of the device itself to the out-of-ear state.

[0009] In the embodiment of the present application, the situation that the earphone is not in the ear or is mistakenly out of the ear is often caused by the drift of the capacitance difference. Then, when the capacitance difference fluctuates continuously within the first preset time, after changing its own state to the in-ear state, due to the drift of the capacitance difference, when using the preset threshold as the standard value for judging whether it is in the ear, the capacitance difference after drift may be much larger than the preset threshold, so that the earphone cannot detect that the user has taken off the earphone through the change of the capacitance difference when the user takes off the earphone, and accordingly, it cannot change its own state to the out-of-ear state in this case. To address this situation, the average values ​​of the capacitance differences corresponding to each time interval are continuously obtained; the average value corresponding to the first time interval is used as the standard value for judging whether the ears are out of the ears. When it is detected that the latest average value obtained is smaller than the average value corresponding to the first time interval, and the absolute value of the difference between the latest average value obtained and the average value corresponding to the first time interval is greater than a preset value, the state of the earphones is changed to the out of the ears state. In response to the forced in-ear situation caused by accidental touch, a corresponding out-of-ear judgment method can be set, thereby avoiding the situation in which the earphones cannot be detected when the user takes off the earphones, and the state of the earphones cannot be changed to the out-of-ear state, thereby causing inconvenience to the user and reducing the user experience.

[0010] In combination with the technical solution provided in the first aspect above, in some possible implementations, the first preset time length is between 2 seconds and 3 minutes.

[0011] In combination with the technical solution provided in the first aspect above, in some possible implementations, the method further includes: after detecting that the earphone itself has entered the box, obtaining the capacitance difference values ​​within a second preset time period before entering the box; screening out the minimum capacitance difference value within the second preset time period; setting the minimum capacitance difference value as a capacitance difference threshold, and the capacitance difference threshold value is a threshold value for determining whether the earphone needs to be changed to an out-of-ear state or an in-ear state.

[0012] In the embodiment of the present application, before the earphone is placed in the case, it will be in a suspended state for a period of time. Therefore, by obtaining each capacitance difference within the second preset time period before entering the case when the earphone detects that it is placed in the charging case, the capacitance difference of the earphone in the suspended state before entering the case can be obtained. At this time, the minimum value of each capacitance difference obtained is set as the capacitance difference threshold, and the capacitance difference threshold of the earphone can be recalibrated, which can avoid the problem of accidental touch of the earphone when the user uses the earphone again.

[0013] In combination with the technical solution provided in the first aspect above, in some possible implementations, the method further includes: when detecting that the method itself is in the box, obtaining the capacitance difference in real time; if it is detected that the capacitance difference is not a preset threshold, taking the moment when the capacitance difference appears as the starting moment, after a third preset time period, detecting whether the latest obtained capacitance difference is the preset threshold; wherein the preset threshold is the sum of the capacitance difference threshold and a preset fixed value, and the capacitance difference threshold is a value used to determine whether the earphone needs to be changed to an out-of-ear state or an in-ear state; if the capacitance difference is not the preset threshold, obtaining an average value of the capacitance difference within a fourth preset time period; and setting the average value to the preset threshold.

[0014] In an embodiment of the present application, when a capacitance difference that is not a preset threshold is detected, it is characterized that a drift has occurred in the capacitance difference at this time. After the third preset time period, the newly obtained capacitance difference is detected again to see if it is the preset threshold, and it can be determined whether the drift is a recoverable drift or an irrecoverable drift. If the capacitance difference is not the preset threshold, it indicates that an irrecoverable drift has occurred. At this time, the average value of the capacitance difference within the fourth preset time period is obtained, and the average value is set to the preset threshold, and the preset threshold can be changed to the range after the drift has occurred, so that when the user uses the earphone, it can judge whether the earphone is in and out of the ear based on the preset threshold after the drift, and avoid judging whether the earphone is in and out of the ear based on the preset threshold before the drift, so that the user's in and out of the ear operation cannot be accurately judged, and then the problem of false touch of the earphone caused by determining the in and out of the ear operation based on the preset threshold before the drift can be avoided.

[0015] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an earphone control method, which is applied to earphones, and the method includes: when detecting that the earphone itself is in a box, real-time monitoring of the capacitance difference, the capacitance difference is the difference in capacitance values ​​collected from two sampling channels of the capacitive sensor of the earphone at the same time; if it is detected that the capacitance difference is not a preset threshold, then taking the moment when the capacitance difference appears as the starting moment, after a third preset time period, detecting whether the latest acquired capacitance difference is the preset threshold; wherein the preset threshold is the sum of the capacitance difference threshold and a preset fixed value, and the capacitance difference threshold is a threshold for determining whether the earphone needs to be changed to an out-of-ear state or an in-ear state; if the capacitance difference is not the preset threshold, obtaining the average value of the capacitance difference within a fourth preset time period; and setting the average value to the preset threshold.

[0016] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an earphone control device, which is applied to earphones, and the device includes: a first monitoring module, which is used to monitor the capacitance difference in real time when it detects that the earphone is outside the box, and the capacitance difference is the difference between the capacitance values ​​collected from two sampling channels of the capacitive sensor of the earphone at the same time; a first control module, which is used to determine its own state as an in-ear state if the capacitance difference fluctuates continuously within a first preset time length.

[0017] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an earphone control device, which is applied to earphones, and the device includes: a second monitoring module, which is used to monitor the capacitance difference in real time when it detects that the device is in a box, and the capacitance difference is the difference in capacitance values ​​collected from two sampling channels of the capacitive sensor of the earphone at the same time; a second control module, which is used to detect whether the latest acquired capacitance difference is the preset threshold value after a third preset time period, taking the time when the capacitance difference appears as the starting time if it is detected that the capacitance difference is not a preset threshold; wherein the preset threshold value is the sum of the capacitance difference threshold value and a preset fixed value, and the capacitance difference threshold value is a threshold value for judging whether the earphone needs to be changed to an out-of-ear state or an in-ear state; if the capacitance difference value is not the preset threshold value, then obtaining the average value of the capacitance difference value within a fourth preset time period; and setting the average value as the preset threshold value.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0027] In view of the fact that accidental touch of the earphones may cause a bad experience to the users, the inventors of the present application, after research and exploration, propose the following embodiments to improve the user experience when accidental touch of the earphones occurs.

[0028] The following combination Figure 1 The specific process and steps of an earphone control method are described. The embodiment of the present application provides an earphone control method, which can be applied to control a capacitive in-ear detection earphone.

[0029] It should be noted that the headset control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is not based on Figure 1 The order shown below is a limitation.

[0030] Step S101: When the device detects that it is outside the box, the capacitance difference is monitored in real time.

[0031] The above-mentioned "outside the box" refers to the situation where the earphone is outside the charging box. The earphone can determine whether it is inside or outside the box by the communication with the charging box. The capacitance difference is the difference in capacitance values ​​collected from the two sampling channels of the capacitive sensor of the earphone at the same time.

[0032] In addition, since the capacitive sensor collects the capacitance values ​​in its two sampling channels in real time, after collecting the capacitance values ​​in the two sampling channels, the capacitance values ​​of the two sampling channels at the same time can be subtracted to obtain the capacitance difference at that time. Therefore, by collecting the capacitance values ​​in the above two sampling channels in real time and subtracting the two capacitance values ​​after collection, the capacitance difference of the earphone can be monitored in real time.

[0033] It should be noted that before calculating the capacitance difference, it is necessary to set in advance whether the headset uses the capacitance value collected by the first sampling channel minus the capacitance value collected by the second sampling channel, or uses the capacitance value collected by the second sampling channel minus the capacitance value collected by the first sampling channel. That is, both methods can calculate the capacitance difference, but only one of the methods can be set during the entire monitoring process, and the two methods cannot be mixed.

[0034] Step S102: If the capacitance difference fluctuates continuously within the first preset time period, the state of the earphone is determined to be in-ear state.

[0035] The first preset time length may be between 2 seconds and 3 minutes, for example, the first preset time length may be 1 minute, or 1 minute and 30 seconds, or 2 minutes.

[0036] For capacitive in-ear detection headphones, a preset threshold is usually preset in advance, and the preset threshold is the sum of the capacitance difference threshold and the preset fixed value. The capacitance difference threshold is the threshold used to determine whether the headphones need to be changed to the out-of-ear state or the in-ear state. Specifically, by comparing the collected capacitance difference with the preset threshold, when the collected capacitance difference is greater than the preset threshold, it can be determined that it should be in the in-ear state at this time; when the collected capacitance difference is less than the preset threshold, it can be determined that it should be in the out-of-ear state at this time; when the collected capacitance value is equal to the preset threshold, it can be determined that the state has not changed at this time.

[0037] It should be noted that the above capacitance difference threshold may be a headphone suspension value. The headphone suspension value refers to the capacitance difference of the headphone in a suspended state, and the suspended state refers to the headphone state when there are no other objects or other objects with a large dielectric constant near the capacitive sensor of the headphone. The above fixed value may be set according to actual conditions, for example, the fixed value may be set to 0, or 5, or 10, or 20.

[0038] If the capacitance difference fluctuates continuously within the first preset time, it may be that the capacitance difference fluctuates up and down within a certain time due to the user frequently taking off and putting on the headphones. The reason for the user to frequently take off and put on the headphones is often the problem of false touch of the headphones (i.e., the headphones are not in the ears or the headphones are mistakenly out of the ears) caused by the drift of the capacitance difference of the headphones, that is, when the user puts on the headphones, the headphones are not updated to the in-ear state, making it impossible for the user to use the headphones, or when the user is using the headphones, the headphone state is changed to the out-of-ear state instead of the in-ear state, and the user often takes off and puts on the headphones frequently to make the headphones return to normal. Therefore, when the above situation occurs, the state of the headphones is changed to the in-ear state, and the headphone state can be quickly adjusted to the user's required state after the headphone false touch problem (i.e., the headphones are not in the ears or the headphones are mistakenly out of the ears) occurs, thereby improving the user experience of the headphones when the false touch problem occurs.

[0039] It should be noted that the continuous fluctuation of the capacitance difference within the first preset time period may be that within the first preset time period, the capacitance difference takes the preset threshold as the standard value and fluctuates upward or downward continuously and multiple times. For example, the first preset time period is 1 minute. Within 1 minute, there are 8 times when the capacitance difference is greater than the preset threshold, and 6 times when the capacitance difference is less than the preset threshold. This situation can be determined as a continuous fluctuation of the capacitance difference within the first preset time period.

[0040] Furthermore, the continuous fluctuation of the capacitance difference within the first preset time period may also be that within the first preset time period, the variance of the capacitance difference takes the preset threshold as a standard value and fluctuates upward or downward continuously and multiple times.

[0041] In addition, the continuous wave of the capacitance difference within the first preset time period may also be that within the first preset time period, the absolute value of the capacitance difference takes the preset threshold as the standard value and fluctuates upward or downward continuously and multiple times.

[0042] It should also be noted that when the headset has multiple capacitive sensors, the headset has multiple sampling channels. At this time, the capacitance difference between the two channels corresponding to each capacitive sensor can be obtained; and then the capacitance difference average value is obtained based on each capacitance difference obtained. When the capacitance difference average value fluctuates continuously within the first preset time length, the headset itself is determined to be in-ear. The continuous fluctuation of the capacitance difference average value can be that within the first preset time length, the capacitance difference value takes the above-mentioned preset threshold as the standard value, and fluctuates upward or downward continuously and multiple times.

[0043] In addition, when the headset has multiple capacitive sensors, a certain capacitive sensor can be used as the standard, that is, if the capacitance difference of the capacitive sensor fluctuates continuously within a first preset time period, the headset itself is determined to be in-ear.

[0044] Further, when the capacitance difference fluctuates continuously within the first preset time period and the state of the earphone is determined to be the in-ear state, if the capacitance difference still fluctuates continuously, the in-ear state is maintained.

[0045] Optionally, after changing its own state to the in-ear state, the above-mentioned headphone control method may also include: continuously obtaining the average value of each capacitance difference corresponding to each time interval, wherein the duration of each time interval is the same; when it is detected that the latest obtained average value is smaller than the average value corresponding to the first time interval, and the absolute value of the difference between the latest obtained average value and the average value corresponding to the first time interval is greater than a preset value, changing its own state to the out-of-ear state.

[0046] The duration of each time interval may be from 2 seconds to 1 minute, for example, the duration of each time interval may be 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 40 seconds, or 50 seconds. The preset value may be set according to the difference between the capacitance difference when the ear is out of the ear and the capacitance difference when the ear is in the ear, and is not limited here.

[0047] In addition, the above-mentioned continuous acquisition of the average value of each capacitance difference corresponding to each time interval refers to continuously acquiring the average value of each capacitance difference of each time interval in chronological order. For example, the duration of each time interval is 20 seconds. After changing the own state to the in-ear state, first obtain the average value of each capacitance difference corresponding to the 1st to 20th seconds, then obtain the average value of each capacitance difference corresponding to the 21st to 40th seconds, and then obtain the average value of each capacitance difference corresponding to the 41st to 60th seconds, that is, the average value of each capacitance difference of each time interval is obtained in chronological order.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned situation that the earphone is not in the ear or the earphone is mistakenly out of the ear is often caused by the drift of the capacitance difference. Then, when the capacitance difference fluctuates continuously within the first preset time, after changing its own state to the in-ear state, due to the drift of the capacitance difference, when using the preset threshold as the standard value for judging whether it is in the ear, the capacitance difference after drift may be much larger than the preset threshold, so that the earphone cannot detect that the user has taken off the earphone through the change of the capacitance difference when the user takes off the earphone, and accordingly, it cannot change its own state to the out-of-ear state in this case.

[0049] In response to the above situation, the average value of each capacitance difference corresponding to each time interval is continuously obtained; the average value corresponding to the first time interval is used as the standard value for judging whether the ears are out of the ears. When it is detected that the latest average value obtained is smaller than the average value corresponding to the first time interval, and the absolute value of the difference between the latest average value obtained and the average value corresponding to the first time interval is greater than the preset value, the state of the earphones is changed to the out of the ears state. For the forced in-ear situation in the case of accidental touch, the corresponding out-of-ear judgment method can be set, thereby avoiding the situation where the user cannot be detected when taking off the earphones, and the state of the earphones cannot be changed to the out-of-ear state, which causes inconvenience to the user and reduces the user experience.

[0050] Furthermore, obtaining the average value of each capacitance difference corresponding to each time interval may specifically include: collecting the capacitance values ​​in two sampling channels in real time; obtaining the capacitance difference of two capacitance values ​​at the same moment; and obtaining the average value of each capacitance difference corresponding to the time interval based on all capacitance differences belonging to the same time interval.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the above method can accurately and quickly obtain the average value of each capacitance difference corresponding to each time interval, thereby improving the rate at which the earphone determines whether it is out of the ear.

[0052] As another optional implementation, after determining the earphone state as in-ear state, it is also possible to determine whether the earphone is out-of-ear according to the relationship between the acquired capacitance difference and a preset threshold value after the capacitance difference stops fluctuating. Specifically, after the capacitance difference stops fluctuating, if the acquired capacitance difference is less than the preset threshold value, the earphone state is determined as out-of-ear state.

[0053] When the earphones have the problem of accidental touch (i.e. the earphones are not in the ears or the earphones are accidentally out of the ears), in addition to frequently taking off and putting on the earphones, the user will also put the earphones into the corresponding charging box, wait for a short period of time, and then take them out for use again.

[0054] In view of the situation that the user puts the earphone into the corresponding charging box after the earphone has the problem of accidental touch, the above earphone control method can also perform the following processing on the above operation of putting the earphone into the box:

[0055] Specifically, after detecting that the headset is inserted into the box, each capacitance difference within the second preset time before the headset is inserted into the box is obtained; the minimum capacitance difference within the second preset time is screened out; the minimum capacitance difference is set as the capacitance difference threshold, and the capacitance difference threshold is a threshold for determining whether the headset needs to be changed to the out-of-ear state or the in-ear state. The second preset time is between 20 seconds and 2 minutes.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, before the earphone is placed in the case, it will be in a suspended state for a period of time. Therefore, by obtaining the capacitance difference values ​​within the second preset time period before the earphone is placed in the charging box when the earphone detects that it is placed in the charging box, the capacitance difference value of the earphone in the suspended state before the earphone is placed in the box can be obtained. At this time, the minimum value of the obtained capacitance difference values ​​is set as the capacitance difference threshold, and the capacitance difference threshold of the earphone can be recalibrated, which can avoid the problem of accidental touch of the earphone when the user uses the earphone again.

[0057] It should be noted that when the earphones do not come out of the ears due to accidental touch, the above method can also be used to calibrate the capacitance difference threshold of the earphones placed in the box.

[0058] In addition, it should be noted that the aforementioned control method when the capacitance difference fluctuates continuously within the first preset time period and the aforementioned method of updating the capacitance difference threshold when the earphone is placed in the box can be performed simultaneously, or the control method when the capacitance difference fluctuates continuously within the first preset time period and the method of updating the capacitance difference threshold when the earphone is placed in the box can be performed separately, and there is no limitation here.

[0059] See also Figure 2 In order to avoid accidental touches when the user is using the headset, the preset threshold of the headset can also be calibrated when the headset is in the box. The specific calibration method is as follows:

[0060] Step S201: When the device detects that it is inside the box, the capacitance difference is monitored in real time.

[0061] The above-mentioned "inside the box" refers to the situation where the earphone is in the charging box; the capacitance difference is the difference in capacitance values ​​respectively collected from two sampling channels of the capacitive sensor of the earphone at the same time.

[0062] It should be noted that the specific method of real-time monitoring of the capacitance difference in this step can refer to the specific method of real-time monitoring of the capacitance difference in step S101, and will not be described again here to avoid redundancy.

[0063] Step S202: if it is detected that the capacitance difference is not the preset threshold, then taking the time when the capacitance difference appears as the starting time, after a third preset time period, detecting whether the most recently acquired capacitance difference is the preset threshold.

[0064] The preset threshold is the sum of the capacitance difference threshold and the preset fixed value, and the capacitance difference threshold is a threshold used to determine whether the earphone needs to be changed to the out-of-ear state or the in-ear state. The third preset time length may be between 20 minutes and 40 minutes, for example, the third preset time length may be 25 minutes, or 30 minutes, or 35 minutes.

[0065] For example, the third preset time is 30 minutes, and the capacitance difference detected at 10:00 is 15, while the preset threshold is 10, that is, the capacitance difference is not the preset threshold. At this time, 10:00 is taken as the starting time, and whether the capacitance difference after 30 minutes (i.e., 10:30) is the preset threshold is detected.

[0066] Step S203: if the capacitance difference is not the preset threshold, obtaining an average value of the capacitance difference within a fourth preset time period.

[0067] The fourth preset time length may be between 20 seconds and 2 minutes. For example, the fourth preset time length may be 30 seconds, or 1 minute, or 1 minute and 30 seconds.

[0068] Furthermore, taking the average value of the capacitance difference within the fourth preset time length may specifically include: collecting the capacitance values ​​in two sampling channels in real time; obtaining the capacitance difference of two capacitance values ​​at the same moment; and obtaining the average value of each capacitance difference corresponding to the fourth preset time length based on all capacitance differences within the fourth preset time length.

[0069] After obtaining the average value of the capacitance difference within the fourth preset time period, the method may proceed to step S204.

[0070] Step S204: setting the average value as a preset threshold.

[0071] It should be noted that the preset threshold is the sum of the capacitance difference threshold and the preset fixed value, so after the average value is set as the preset threshold, the capacitance difference threshold at this time can be obtained by subtracting the fixed value from the average value.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, when a capacitance difference that is not a preset threshold is detected, it is characterized that a drift has occurred in the capacitance difference at this time. After the third preset time length, the newly obtained capacitance difference is detected again to see if it is the preset threshold, and it can be determined whether the drift is a recoverable drift or an irrecoverable drift. If the capacitance difference is not the preset threshold, it means that an irrecoverable drift has occurred. At this time, the average value of the capacitance difference within the fourth preset time length is obtained, and the average value is set to the preset threshold. The preset threshold can be changed to the range after the drift has occurred, so that when the user uses the earphone, it can judge whether the earphone is in and out of the ear based on the preset threshold after the drift, and avoid judging whether the earphone is in and out of the ear based on the preset threshold before the drift, so that the user's in and out of the ear operation cannot be accurately judged, and then the problem of false touch of the earphone caused by determining the in and out of the ear operation based on the preset threshold before the drift can be avoided.

[0073] It should be noted that the above method for calibrating the earphones in the box can be used simultaneously with the above method for controlling the earphones outside the box, or the method for calibrating the earphones in the box can be used alone, which is not limited here.

[0074] See also Figure 3 Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application further provides an earphone control device 100 , which includes: a first monitoring module 101 and a first control module 102 .

[0075] The first monitoring module 101 is used to monitor the capacitance difference in real time when it is detected that the first monitoring module 101 is outside the box. The capacitance difference is the difference between the capacitance values ​​respectively collected from two sampling channels of the capacitive sensor of the earphone at the same time.

[0076] The first control module 102 is configured to determine the state of the earphone as being in-ear if the capacitance difference fluctuates continuously within a first preset time period.

[0077] Optionally, after changing its own state to the in-ear state, the first control module 102 is also used to continuously obtain the average value of each capacitance difference corresponding to each time interval, wherein the duration of each time interval is the same; when it is detected that the latest obtained average value is smaller than the average value corresponding to the first time interval, and the absolute value of the difference between the latest obtained average value and the average value corresponding to the first time interval is greater than a preset value, the own state is changed to the out-of-ear state.
