[0032] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the specific technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application, but are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0033] In the following description, “some embodiments” are described, which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it can be understood that “some embodiments” can be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments, and can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0034] In the following description, the terms “first\second\third” are merely to distinguish similar objects, and do not represent a specific order of the objects. It can be understood that “first\second\third” can be interchanged in a specific order or sequence as allowed, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to be limiting of this application.

[0036] Embodiments of the present application provide a pickup method, applied to a first electronic device, the first electronic device comprising at least one first pickup unit, as shown in the figure, the method comprising: Figure 1

[0037] Step S110, determining a connection position of a second electronic device connected with the first electronic device;

[0038] Here, the first electronic device is an electronic device that can acquire an external sound source and simultaneously process the external sound source; the second electronic device is an electronic device that can acquire an external sound source and has a physical connection point with the first electronic device.

[0039] In the implementation process, at least one physical connection point can be provided on the first electronic device, and the connection position of the at least one second electronic device connected with the first electronic device is determined first, which can be the physical connection point described above.

[0040] For example, the first electronic device can be a tablet computer, and the second electronic device can be a stylus used in cooperation with the tablet computer. At least one Hall sensor can be provided on the tablet computer, and the function of magnetic attraction is used to connect the stylus with the tablet computer. In this way, in the case where the stylus is connected with the tablet computer, the connection position of the stylus connected with the tablet computer, i.e., the magnetic attraction position of the stylus, can be determined.

[0041] Step S120, determining to use at least one pickup unit in a pickup group based on the connection position; the pickup group comprising at least one first pickup unit of the first electronic device and a second pickup unit of the second electronic device;

[0042] Wherein, the connection at the connection position makes the second electronic device form a preset spatial relationship with the at least one first pickup unit.

[0043] In the implementation process, in the case where the second electronic device is connected at the connection position, the second electronic device can form a preset spatial relationship with the first pickup unit of the first electronic device, which can determine whether the first pickup unit of the first electronic device is blocked by the second electronic device.

[0044] Here, since whether the first pickup unit of the first electronic device is blocked by the second electronic device can be determined based on the connection position, how to use the pickup group to realize the pickup function can be determined based on the connection position.

[0045] ​For example, when the tablet computer is connected with the stylus pen, and it is determined based on the connection position that the stylus pen blocks all the sound pickup units of the tablet computer, the sound pickup function of the tablet computer can be completed by using the sound pickup unit arranged on the stylus pen.

[0046] In one embodiment, the first electronic device can be a notebook computer, and the second electronic device can be a smart speaker. When the notebook computer is connected with the smart speaker, and it is determined based on the connection position that the smart speaker blocks part of the sound pickup units of the notebook computer, the sound pickup function of the notebook computer can be completed by using the sound pickup units of the notebook computer that are not blocked by the smart speaker and the sound pickup unit of the smart speaker. Here, the notebook computer can be connected with the smart speaker when the smart speaker is charging by using the notebook computer.

[0047] In one embodiment, the first electronic device can be a notebook computer, and the second electronic device can be a smart speaker. When the notebook computer is connected with the smart speaker, and it is determined based on the connection position that the smart speaker blocks part of the sound pickup units of the notebook computer, the sound pickup function of the notebook computer can be completed by using the sound pickup units of the notebook computer that are not blocked by the smart speaker and the sound pickup unit of the smart speaker. Here, the notebook computer can be connected with the smart speaker when the smart speaker is charging by using the notebook computer.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, the connection position of the second electronic device connected with the first electronic device is first determined, and then at least one sound pickup unit in a sound pickup group is determined based on the connection position. The sound pickup group includes at least one first sound pickup unit of the first electronic device and a second sound pickup unit of the second electronic device. The second electronic device and the at least one first sound pickup unit form a preset spatial relationship when connected at the connection position. In this way, the sound pickup units of the first and second electronic devices can be selected based on the spatial relationship between the second electronic device and the sound pickup units on the first electronic device, which can effectively improve the sound pickup effect of the first electronic device.

[0049] Figure 2A An implementation flowchart of a sound pickup method provided in the embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 2, which includes the following steps: Figure 2A

[0050] Step S210, determining the connection position of the second electronic device connected with the first electronic device.

[0051] Step S220, determining that the second electronic device and the first sound pickup unit have a first preset spatial relationship when connected at the connection position, and the first preset spatial relationship is that the second electronic device blocks all the first sound pickup units of the first electronic device.

[0052] ​Here, the first electronic device and the second electronic device can form a first preset space based on the connection position. The first preset space is that the second electronic device blocks all the first pickup units of the first electronic device.

[0053] In step S230, the second pickup unit of the second electronic device is used based on the connection position.

[0054] Since in step S220, it is determined that the second electronic device blocks all the first pickup units of the first electronic device, and the first pickup unit of the first electronic device is used, the pickup effect is greatly affected by the blocking of the second electronic device, so the second pickup unit of the second electronic device can be used to effectively improve the pickup effect of the first electronic device.

[0055] For example, Figure 2B A connection diagram of a tablet computer and a stylus provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 1, which includes a tablet computer 21 and a stylus 22, wherein, Figure 2B As shown in FIG. 1, the tablet computer 21 and the stylus 22 are connected through a magnetic attraction connector 222 and a Hall sensor 212.

[0056] The middle position of the long side of the tablet computer 21 is provided with two first pickup units 211 and a Hall sensor 212; the stylus 22 is provided with a second pickup unit 221 and a magnetic attraction connector 222.

[0057] Here, the setting positions of the Hall sensor 212 on the tablet computer 21 and the magnetic attraction connector 222 on the stylus can make the tablet computer 21 and the stylus 22 form a first preset space based on the connection of the Hall sensor 212, and the first preset space makes the stylus 22 block the two first pickup units 211 provided on the tablet computer 21, so that the two first pickup units 211 of the tablet computer cannot normally pick up sound, resulting in the influence of the call and recording functions of the tablet computer.

[0058] In the implementation process, the second sound pickup unit 221 can be arranged on the stylus 22. When the stylus 22 is placed on the long side of the tablet computer 21 by using the magnetic connector 222 and is in the central position, the stylus 22 is detected and determined to be placed in the fixed position by the Hall sensor 212. The signal detected by the Hall sensor 212 triggers an interrupt, and the processor of the tablet computer responds and calls the sound pickup scheme corresponding to the first preset spatial position relationship, that is, the uplink of the call and the recording are switched to the second sound pickup unit 221 of the stylus. The original data picked up by the second sound pickup unit 221 is stably transmitted to the processor of the tablet computer through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), as uplink data or recording data in the call process, to ensure that the call and recording functions of the tablet computer 21 work normally. For example, in the case of a call, the uplink data can be provided by the second sound pickup unit 221 of the stylus 22 through BLE to adopt a single-microphone call noise reduction algorithm. In the case of recording, the original data picked up by the second sound pickup unit 221 of the stylus 22 can be provided through BLE to adopt a single-microphone recording algorithm, so as to effectively improve the sound pickup effect of the tablet computer.

[0059] Figure 3A The implementation flowchart of the sound pickup method provided by the embodiment of the application is shown in FIG. 1, which includes the following steps. Figure 3A

[0060] Step S310, determining the connection position of the second electronic device connected to the first electronic device.

[0061] Step S320, determining that the second electronic device is connected to the connection position so that the second electronic device has a second preset spatial relationship with the first sound pickup unit, and the second preset spatial relationship is that the second electronic device shields one first sound pickup unit of the first electronic device.

[0062] Here, the first electronic device and the second electronic device can form a second preset space based on the connection position. The second preset space is that the second electronic device shields one first sound pickup unit of the first electronic device.

[0063] Step S330, determining to use the first sound pickup unit of the first electronic device that is not shielded and the second sound pickup unit of the second electronic device based on the connection position.

[0064] Since it is determined in step S320 that the second electronic device shields one first sound pickup unit of the first electronic device, if the shielded first sound pickup unit is used, the sound pickup effect will be greatly affected, so the first sound pickup unit of the first electronic device that is not shielded and the second sound pickup unit of the second electronic device are used in the embodiment to effectively improve the sound pickup effect of the first electronic device. ​

[0065] For example, Figure 3B A connection diagram of a tablet computer and a stylus is provided for an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 3B The tablet computer 31 and the stylus 32 are shown, wherein

[0066] The tablet computer 31 has two first sound pickup units 311 and a Hall sensor 312 arranged at the middle of the long side; the stylus 32 has a second sound pickup unit 321 and a magnetic connector 322 arranged thereon.

[0067] Here, the Hall sensor 312 on the tablet computer 31 and the magnetic connector 322 on the stylus are arranged at positions such that, when the tablet computer 31 is connected to the stylus 32 based on the Hall sensor 312, a second preset space is formed, which causes the stylus 32 to block one of the first sound pickup units 311 on the tablet computer 31, so that the first sound pickup unit 311 on the tablet computer cannot normally pick up sound, resulting in the call and recording functions of the tablet computer being affected.

[0068] In the implementation process, the second sound pickup unit 321 is arranged on the stylus 31, and when the stylus 31 is placed on the long side of the tablet computer and completely blocks one of the first sound pickup units 311 on the tablet computer, the Hall sensor 312 can detect and determine that the stylus 32 is placed at the fixed position, the detection signal of the Hall sensor 312 triggers an interrupt, and the processor of the tablet computer responds and calls a sound pickup scheme corresponding to the position relationship of the second preset space, that is, the second sound pickup unit 321 on the stylus cooperates with the blocked first sound pickup unit 311 on the tablet computer 31 to work together to ensure the call and stereo recording performance of the tablet computer 31. For example, in the case where one of the first sound pickup units 311 is blocked by the stylus 32, the second sound pickup unit 322 on the stylus 32 can provide stable raw data through BLE, which can be used as a data for double-microphone algorithm processing for double-microphone call and stereo recording processing, so as to effectively improve the sound pickup effect of the tablet computer.

[0069] In some implementations, the above step S330 “determining to use the unblocked first sound pickup unit of the first electronic device and the second sound pickup unit of the second electronic device based on the connection position” can be implemented by the following steps:

[0070] Step 331, acquiring a first sound source using a first sound pickup unit that is not blocked by the second electronic device among at least two first sound pickup units based on the connection position;

[0071] Step 332, acquiring a second sound source of a second sound pickup unit from the second electronic device based on the wireless communication connection with the second electronic device;

[0072] Here, the wireless communication can be low-latency close-range wireless communication, including at least acoustic communication, Bluetooth, mobile hotspot wifi, and Near Field Communication (NFC).

[0073] The second sound source obtained by the close-range wireless communication is established by the first electronic device to have data synchronization with the first sound source, and the synchronization can be achieved based on a timestamp carried by the second sound source and a timestamp of the first electronic device.

[0074] For example, in the case where the first electronic device is a tablet computer and the second electronic device is a stylus, the stylus can be connected to the tablet computer through BLE, a microphone is added to the stylus, and the stylus is placed on the tablet computer in a fixed position. The microphone data can be transmitted through BLE to be stable and low-latency, so as to satisfy the data synchronization of the first sound source and the second sound source.

[0075] Step 333, using the second sound source and the first sound source.

[0076] In the embodiments of the present application, first, the first sound source is obtained based on the connection position using the first pickup part that is not blocked by the second electronic device among the at least two first pickup parts; then, the second sound source of the second pickup part is obtained from the second electronic device based on the wireless communication connection with the second electronic device; and finally, the second sound source and the first sound source are used. In this way, in the case where one pickup part of the first electronic device is blocked by the second electronic device, the first pickup part that is not blocked by the second electronic device and the second pickup part of the second electronic device are effectively utilized, and the pickup effect of the first electronic device is improved.

[0077] Figure 4A An implementation flowchart of a pickup method provided in the embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 4, which includes the following steps: Figure 4A

[0078] Step S410, determining a connection position of a second electronic device connected to the first electronic device;

[0079] Step S420, determining that the second electronic device is connected to the connection position so that the second electronic device has a third preset spatial relationship with the first pickup part, and the third preset spatial relationship is that the second electronic device does not block any one of the first pickup parts of the first electronic device;

[0080] ​Here, the first electronic device and the second electronic device can form a third preset space based on their connection position. The third preset space is defined as the space where the second electronic device does not obstruct any of the first microphones of the first electronic device. For example, if the first electronic device is a tablet computer and the second electronic device is a stylus, the stylus can be placed on the back of the tablet computer using a magnetic connector, thus forming the third preset space between the stylus and the tablet computer.

[0081] Step S430: Determine the sound pickup scenario of the second electronic device based on the connection location;

[0082] Here, the sound pickup scenario of the second electronic device includes at least sound pickup using the second pickup unit of the second electronic device and sound pickup without using the second pickup unit of the second electronic device.

[0083] Step S440: Use all the first pickup units of the first electronic device or all the pickup units in the pickup group based on the pickup scenario.

[0084] In some embodiments, when the first electronic device needs to pick up sound sources facing the screen of the electronic device, the second pickup unit can be used to filter out interference from sound sources facing away from the screen.

[0085] In some embodiments, if the first electronic device needs to pick up a 360-degree sound source, the second pickup unit may not be used for sound pickup.

[0086] For example, Figure 4B This application provides a schematic diagram illustrating the connection between a tablet computer and a stylus, as shown in the embodiment. Figure 4B As shown, it includes a tablet computer 41 and a stylus 42, wherein,

[0087] Here, the positions of the Hall sensor 412 on the tablet computer 41 and the magnetic connector 422 on the stylus are such that when the tablet computer 41 and the stylus 42 are connected based on the Hall sensor 412, a third preset space is formed. This third preset space ensures that the stylus 42 does not completely obstruct the first pickup part 411 provided on the tablet computer 41.

[0088] In the implementation process, the stylus 42 is placed on the back of the tablet computer 41 by using the magnetic connector 422, and the stylus 42 is detected and determined to be placed in the fixed position by the Hall sensor 412. The detection signal of the Hall sensor 412 triggers an interrupt, and the processor of the tablet computer responds and adjusts the pickup scheme corresponding to the third preset spatial position relationship. At this time, the pickup hole direction of the second pickup part 421 on the stylus 42 is fixed, the pickup direction of the second pickup part 421 and the pickup method of the first pickup part 411 arranged on the tablet computer form a stable 90-degree angle, and the stable data provided by the second pickup part 421 on the stylus 42 is used as effective data for determining that the stylus 42 is on the back of the tablet computer 41. The processor of the tablet computer 41 provides a basis for determining whether the picked-up sound signal is in front of the screen of the tablet computer 41 or behind the screen of the tablet computer 41, and the noise reduction algorithm can effectively control the pickup range of the tablet computer to filter out unnecessary area signals, thereby improving the performance of the uplink data.

[0089] In some embodiments, the original data picked up by the second pickup part 421 on the stylus 42 can also provide effective data reference for the noise reduction algorithm of the tablet computer 41 system, and the noise reduction performance of the tablet computer 41 system can be more efficiently improved. For example, if the user selects the 360-degree conference mode in this scenario, the microphone array of the tablet computer 41 uses the first pickup part 411 of the tablet itself, and does not use the data and position determination information provided by the second pickup part 421 on the stylus 42. If the user selects a personal conference and needs to filter out the background noise behind the tablet computer 41, the second pickup part 421 of the stylus 42 can provide stable determination direction data and original data for the noise reduction algorithm, so as to filter out the background noise behind the tablet computer 41 by using the noise reduction algorithm and effectively control the pickup range of the tablet computer 41 by using the original data obtained by the second pickup part 421 of the stylus 42.

[0090] In some embodiments, the second sound source picked up by the second pickup part can be used to determine the direction of the sound source, so as to determine the position relationship between the speaker and the screen, i.e., whether the speaker is speaking towards the screen or away from the screen. The problem of the existing tablet computer 41 that the first pickup part 411 is arranged at the top end of the tablet computer 41, i.e., the problem of being unable to determine the direction of the sound source, is solved.

[0091] In some embodiments, the above step S440 of “using all pickup parts in the pickup group based on the pickup scene” can be implemented by the following steps:

[0092] Step 441, obtaining a second sound source by using a second pickup part of the second electronic device;

[0093] Step 442, obtaining a first sound source by using a first pickup part of the first electronic device;

[0094] Step 443, performing noise reduction processing on the first sound source based on the second sound source.

[0095] In the embodiment of the application, the second sound source is acquired by using the second pickup part of the second electronic device, the first sound source is acquired by using the first pickup part of the first electronic device, and then the noise reduction processing is performed on the first sound source based on the second sound source. In this way, the sound source in a non-target direction can be filtered out, and the quality of the sound source in the target direction can be effectively improved.

[0096] Figure 5 An implementation flow diagram of a pickup method provided in the embodiment of the application is applied to a second electronic device, and the second electronic device includes a second pickup part. As shown in the figure, Figure 5 The pickup method includes the following steps.

[0097] Step S501, in response to a connection position connected to a first electronic device, acquiring a communication message of the first electronic device; wherein the connection to the connection position makes the second electronic device and the at least one first pickup part form a preset spatial relationship;

[0098] Step S502, determining to use the second pickup part based on the communication message;

[0099] Step S503, sending a second sound source picked up by the second pickup part to the first electronic device.

[0100] In the embodiment of the application, in response to a connection position connected to a first electronic device, the second electronic device acquires a communication message of the first electronic device, determines to use the second pickup part based on the communication message, and sends a second sound source picked up by the second pickup part to the first electronic device. In this way, the pickup effect of the first electronic device can be improved by using the second pickup part of the second electronic device.

[0101] Figure 6 A structure diagram of a pickup system provided in the embodiment of the application is shown in the figure, Figure 6 The pickup system 60 includes a first electronic device 61 and a second electronic device 62, wherein,

[0102] The first electronic device 61 includes at least one first pickup part 611;

[0103] The second electronic device 62 includes at least one second pickup part 622; the second electronic device 62 can be connected to a preset connection position of the first electronic device 61, and the connection to the preset connection position makes the second electronic device 62 and the at least one first pickup part 611 form a preset spatial relationship;

[0104] In response to the second electronic device 62 being connected to a connection position in the preset connection positions of the first electronic device 61, the first electronic device 61 determines to use at least one pickup unit in a pickup group based on the connection position; the pickup group includes at least one first pickup unit 611 of the first electronic device 61 and a second pickup unit 621 of the second electronic device 62.

[0105] Here, the first electronic device 61 and the second electronic device 62 can be connected through wireless communication.

[0106] In some embodiments, the wireless communication can be low-latency close-range wireless communication. For example, the second electronic device can be connected to the first electronic device through BLE.

[0107] In the embodiments of the present application, the second electronic device can be connected to the preset connection positions of the first electronic device, and the connection to the preset connection positions makes the second electronic device form a preset spatial relationship with the at least one first pickup unit. In response to the second electronic device being connected to a connection position in the preset connection positions of the first electronic device, the first electronic device determines to use at least one pickup unit in a pickup group based on the connection position. In this way, the pickup effect of the first electronic device can be effectively improved.

[0108] In some embodiments, as shown in the pickup system 60, Figure 6
