[0051] Example implementations will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example implementations may, however, be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the implementations set forth herein; rather, these implementations are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the inventive aspects to those skilled in the art. Features described in the description and / or shown in the figures can be combined in any suitable manner without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

[0052] In addition, the drawings are to be regarded as being schematic only and therefore are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Like reference numerals are used to designate throughout the drawings to the same or similar parts that often have the similar functions, and thus repetitive description thereof will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities, which do not necessarily have to correspond to physically or logically independent entities. The functional entities can be implemented in software, or in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0053] The flow charts shown in the drawings are only illustrative and do not necessarily include all the steps. For example, some steps can be further divided, and some steps can be combined or partially combined, and thus the actual execution order can be changed according to the actual situation.

[0054] As Figure 1As shown, the flowchart of the Bluetooth hearing aid working mode switching method provided by the embodiment of the application comprises the following steps:

[0055] S100: The single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid receives switching data for switching the working mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid sent by a terminal device, and the working mode comprises at least one of a first earphone mode, a first hearing aid mode and a free switching mode; the terminal device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer or other electronic devices with an interactive interface;

[0056] S200: The single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid detects whether the current working mode is consistent with the working mode of the switching data;

[0057] S310: If the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid detects that the current working mode is not consistent with the working mode of the switching data, the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid switches the current working mode to the working mode of the switching data;

[0058] S320: If the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid detects that the current working mode is consistent with the working mode of the switching data, the working mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid remains unchanged.

[0059] By adopting the Bluetooth hearing aid working mode switching method provided by the application, different working modes can be set for different single-ear Bluetooth hearing aids, which facilitates the use of users with poor hearing in one ear in multiple scenarios and improves the use experience of users with poor hearing in one ear.

[0060] For example, when the user has normal hearing in the left ear and poor hearing in the right ear, the left-ear Bluetooth hearing aid can be set to the first earphone mode to receive audio data sent by an electronic device with Bluetooth function, and the right-ear Bluetooth hearing aid can be set to the first hearing aid mode to facilitate the user to receive the sound of the surrounding environment. Alternatively, the user only needs to set the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid with poor hearing to the hearing aid mode and only needs to wear one single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid. According to the different hearing of the left and right ears of the user and the different scenarios used by the user, the user can conveniently set the working mode of the Bluetooth hearing aid on different sides to improve the use experience of the user with poor hearing in one ear.

[0061] The free switching mode is configured to switch the working mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid to a second earphone mode or a second hearing aid mode according to a state of Bluetooth connection established between the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid and a terminal device. Unlike the stable working modes of the first earphone mode and the first hearing aid mode, the second earphone mode and the second hearing aid mode in the free switching mode are unstable working modes, and the second earphone mode and the second hearing aid mode are switched to each other according to the state of Bluetooth connection between the Bluetooth hearing aid and the terminal device, while the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid always keeps the working state of the first earphone mode or the first hearing aid mode unless the user changes the working mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid on the terminal device. The state of Bluetooth connection can include whether the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid establishes Bluetooth connection with the terminal device, whether the Bluetooth link of Bluetooth connection established between the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid and the terminal device includes audio data, and the like, which are not limited here.

[0062] When the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is set to the free switching mode, the user can automatically switch the working mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid, the switching process of the working mode is simplified, the user does not need to repeatedly operate to switch the working mode, the user is facilitated to use in multiple scenes, and convenient operation is provided for the user. For example, when the left ear of the user is set to the first hearing aid mode and the right ear is set to the free switching mode, after the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid detects that Bluetooth connection is established with the terminal device, the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is automatically switched to the second earphone mode to receive audio data (such as voice call) sent by the terminal device. When the audio data stops being transmitted, the system defaults that the left-ear Bluetooth hearing aid does not need to receive audio data of the terminal device, disconnects the Bluetooth connection between the terminal device and the left-ear Bluetooth hearing aid, and is switched to the hearing aid mode again, so that the user can again receive the hearing aid of the surrounding environment with both ears.

[0063] As shown in Figure 2 The method further includes the following steps when the working mode of the switching data is the free switching mode and the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid switches the current working mode thereof to the free switching mode:

[0064] S311: The single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid detects whether Bluetooth connection is established with a terminal device. In this embodiment, the terminal device is an electronic device with Bluetooth function, such as a television, a tablet computer, and a computer.

[0065] S312: If the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid detects that Bluetooth connection is established with the terminal device, and when the current free switching mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is the second hearing aid mode, the free switching mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is switched to the second earphone mode.

[0066] S313: If the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid detects that it does not establish a Bluetooth connection with the terminal device, and when the current free switching mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is the second earphone mode, the free switching mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is switched to the second hearing aid mode.

[0067] As shown in Figure 3 the flowchart after step S312 provided by the embodiment of the application if the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid detects that it establishes a Bluetooth connection with the terminal device, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0068] S3121: The single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid detects whether the audio data is included on the Bluetooth link of the terminal device establishing a Bluetooth connection with it; in the embodiment, the audio data includes the audio in the video or music, and / or the voice during the call, and the audio data of the device with Bluetooth function such as television, tablet computer, computer, etc. can be transmitted to the Bluetooth hearing aid through Bluetooth for the user to receive and listen.

[0069] S3122: If it is detected that the audio data is included on the Bluetooth link, and when the current free switching mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is the second hearing aid mode, the free switching mode is switched to the second earphone mode.

[0070] S3123: If it is detected that the audio data is not included on the Bluetooth link, and when the current free switching mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is the second earphone mode, the free switching mode is switched to the second hearing aid mode.

[0071] According to whether the audio data is included on the Bluetooth link, the current free switching mode is automatically switched to the second earphone mode or the second hearing aid mode, which is convenient for the user to use in various scenes.

[0072] As shown in Figure 4 the flowchart after step S3123 provided by the embodiment of the application if it is detected that the audio data is not included on the Bluetooth link, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0073] S313: The single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid detects whether the Bluetooth connection with the terminal device is disconnected.

[0074] S314: If the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid detects that the Bluetooth connection with the terminal device is disconnected, and when the current free switching mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is the second earphone mode, the free switching mode is switched to the second hearing aid mode.

[0075] If the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid detects that the Bluetooth connection with the terminal device is not disconnected, step S311 can be performed.

[0076] When the Bluetooth connection between the Bluetooth hearing aid and the terminal device is disconnected, a situation may occur that the user mistakenly touches the Bluetooth switch of the terminal device or the Bluetooth hearing aid, causing the Bluetooth connection to be disconnected. In this case, the Bluetooth connection is disconnected, and the user usually quickly reconnects the Bluetooth connection. If the Bluetooth connection is disconnected, the working mode of the Bluetooth hearing aid is automatically switched. In this case, the second earphone mode and the second hearing mode of the Bluetooth hearing aid are frequently switched. To avoid the situation that the user mistakenly touches the Bluetooth switch, causing the Bluetooth connection to be disconnected, and then causing the Bluetooth hearing aid to frequently switch the state, the time of the Bluetooth connection being disconnected should be detected before jumping to the second hearing mode.

[0077] As shown in Figure 5 The step S313 provided by the embodiment is a flowchart after the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid detects that it does not establish a Bluetooth connection with the terminal device. The method comprises the following steps:

[0078] S3131: detecting a first interval time of the Bluetooth connection being disconnected on the Bluetooth link;

[0079] S3132: detecting whether the first interval time is greater than a first interval time threshold;

[0080] S3133: if it is detected that the first interval time is greater than the first interval time threshold, and when the current free switching mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is the second earphone mode, the free switching mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is switched to the second hearing mode.

[0081] If it is detected that the first interval time is less than the first interval time threshold, and when the current free switching mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is the second earphone mode, the current free switching mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid remains the second earphone mode unchanged, which defaults that the user mistakenly touches the Bluetooth connection switch and then restores the Bluetooth connection, reducing the mutual switching of the second earphone mode and the second hearing mode.

[0082] If the Bluetooth connection is lost within the allowed time range (i.e., within the first interval threshold), the Bluetooth hearing aid will not switch its operating mode, assuming it was caused by the user accidentally pressing the Bluetooth switch. However, if the Bluetooth connection is lost beyond the allowed time range (i.e., greater than the first interval threshold), it is considered a normal Bluetooth switch operation that disconnects the device from the terminal. When the current free switching mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is the second headphone mode, the free switching mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid must be switched to the second hearing aid mode to avoid frequent switching of operating modes. In this embodiment, the allowed time range can be customized by the user or set by the system default to meet the user's needs in various scenarios; no limitation is made here. For example, when users are outdoors, they need to use the secondary hearing aid function of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid more often, and the time required for the secondary earphone function is shorter. To facilitate user use, the first interval time threshold can be set to a shorter time, ensuring that users can use the secondary hearing aid function more often outdoors. When users are indoors, they may need to receive audio data transmitted from devices with Bluetooth functionality more often. To facilitate user use, the first interval time threshold can be set to a longer time than in the outdoor situation, allowing users to use the secondary earphone function for more time and avoiding frequent switching of working modes.

[0083] When the Bluetooth link does not include audio data, the possible scenarios are that the user is not using the audio function of the terminal device, but the terminal device is still connected to the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid via Bluetooth; or the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is disconnected from the terminal device via Bluetooth. The working mode of the Bluetooth hearing aid can be switched according to these two scenarios.

[0084] To further reduce the frequent switching of Bluetooth hearing aid operating modes, such as Figure 6 As shown, if audio data is detected not to be present on the Bluetooth link in step S3123, the following steps are also included:

[0085] S3151: Detect a second interval time on the Bluetooth link that does not include audio data;

[0086] S3152: Detect whether the second interval time is greater than the second interval time threshold;

[0087] S3153: If the second interval time is detected to be greater than the second interval time threshold, and the current free switching mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is the second headphone mode, then the free switching mode is switched to the second hearing aid mode.

[0088] If the second interval time is detected to be less than the second interval time threshold, and the current working mode of the single-sided Bluetooth hearing aid is the second headphone mode, then the second headphone mode is kept unchanged, and step S3151 is executed after a period of time.

[0089] When there is no audio data on the Bluetooth link, the user may not need to switch the operating mode; they only need to temporarily stop receiving audio data. To avoid the Bluetooth hearing aid switching operating modes too frequently, a second interval, such as 10 seconds, can be set when no audio data is detected on the Bluetooth link. If the user does not perform any other operation after 10 seconds and there is still no audio data on the Bluetooth link, the current headphone operating mode can be switched to hearing aid mode by default, reducing the frequency of Bluetooth hearing aid operating mode switching. Similarly, the second interval threshold can be user-defined or set by system default to meet the user's convenience in various scenarios.

[0090] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the single-ear side setting interface provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown, the single-ear setting interface includes left ear setting and right ear setting. When a user sets the working mode of a single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid, they first enter the single-ear setting interface to select the left or right ear. Users with poor hearing in one ear can set different working modes for both ears. Figure 7 After a user sets up the Bluetooth hearing aid in their right ear, the interface will redirect to the following... Figure 8 The working mode interface shown is from Figure 8 As can be seen, the right-side hearing aid has three operating modes: hearing aid mode, headphone mode, and a switchable mode. When a user has hearing loss in one ear, the Bluetooth hearing aids in both ears can be set to different operating modes. For example, a user with hearing loss in the left ear can set the left-side hearing aid to hearing aid mode and the right-side hearing aid to headphone mode or a switchable mode. This not only solves the problem of hearing loss in one ear but also allows the user to receive audio data from Bluetooth-enabled devices, improving the user experience. When the user selects the switchable mode in the settings for one ear, the interface will redirect to... Figure 9 The free-switching mode selection interface allows users to choose between two switching methods: Bluetooth connection switching or audio data-based switching. That is, the switching between the second headphone mode and the second hearing aid mode in the free-switching mode is based on the Bluetooth connection or whether audio data is included. Users can choose the setting according to their actual needs.

[0091] In the Bluetooth hearing aid working mode switching method of this embodiment, the sequence number of each step is only to distinguish each step, and is not a limitation on the specific execution order of each step. The execution order between the above steps can be adjusted and changed as needed.

[0092] like Figure 10 As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides a Bluetooth hearing aid working mode switching system for implementing the Bluetooth hearing aid working mode switching method described above. The system includes:

[0093] The receiving module M100 is configured to receive switching data of a working mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid sent by the terminal device, the working mode comprising at least one of a first earphone mode, a first hearing aid mode and a free switching mode.

[0094] The detecting module M200 is configured to detect whether the current working mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid is consistent with the working mode of the switching data.

[0095] The switching module M300 is configured to switch the current working mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid to the working mode of the switching data if the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid detects that the current working mode thereof is inconsistent with the working mode of the switching data.

[0096] The present application receives switching data of a working mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid sent by the terminal device through the working mode receiving module M100, the working mode comprising at least one of a first earphone mode, a first hearing aid mode and a free switching mode; receives switching data of a working mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid sent by the terminal device through the detecting module M200, the working mode comprising at least one of a first earphone mode, a first hearing aid mode and a free switching mode; and switches the current working mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid to the working mode of the switching data through the switching module M300 if the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid detects that the current working mode thereof is inconsistent with the working mode of the switching data, so that different single-ear Bluetooth hearing aids can realize different working modes, the use of users with poor single-ear hearing is facilitated, the use experience of users with poor single-ear hearing is improved, and the switching process of the Bluetooth hearing aid to the second hearing aid mode or the second earphone mode is simplified when the working mode of the Bluetooth hearing aid is switched by itself, thereby providing convenience for users.

[0097] In the Bluetooth hearing aid working mode switching system of the present application, the functions of each module can be realized by the specific embodiments of the Bluetooth hearing aid working mode switching method as described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0098] As shown in Figure 11 The present application also provides a Bluetooth hearing aid working mode switching system, which comprises the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid 100 as described above and a terminal device 200 configured to send switching data of a working mode of the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid to the single-ear Bluetooth hearing aid.
