Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of communication technology, specifically relating to a headphone control method and device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of science and technology, people have become accustomed to wearing headphones in many situations, and it's also common for two people to use a single pair of headphones. In related technologies, two people can each listen to the same audio output from an electronic device through the left and right earpieces of a single pair of headphones. However, since the left and right earpieces of a single pair of headphones cannot play different audio, if two people want to listen to different audio outputs from an electronic device using the same pair of headphones, they need to manually switch the operating states of the headphones and the electronic device. This process is cumbersome and affects the efficiency of using the headphones. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a headphone control method and device that can solve the problem in related technologies where the left and right earphones of a headphone device cannot play different audio, resulting in low efficiency for users when using the headphone device.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a headphone control method applied to an electronic device, which may include:

[0005] When a connection is established with a headphone device, the headphone icon of the headphone device is displayed. The headphone device includes a first headphone and a second headphone, and the headphone icon includes a first headphone icon of the first headphone and a second headphone icon of the second headphone.

[0006] Receive a first input that moves the first headphone icon to the area where the first audio identifier is located;

[0007] In response to the first input, the first audio corresponding to the first audio identifier is played through the first headphones.

[0008] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a headphone control device applied to an electronic device, which may include:

[0009] The display module is used to display the headphone icon of the headphone device when a connection is established with the headphone device. The headphone device includes a first headphone and a second headphone, and the headphone icon includes a first headphone icon of the first headphone and a second headphone icon of the second headphone.

[0010] The receiving module is used to receive a first input that moves the first headphone icon to the area where the first audio identifier is located;

[0011] A playback module is used to respond to a first input by playing a first audio signal corresponding to a first audio identifier through a first headset.

[0012] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, which includes a processor, a memory, and a program or instructions stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the program or instructions are executed by the processor, they implement the steps of the headphone control method as described in the first aspect.

[0013] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a readable storage medium on which a program or instructions are stored, which, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the headphone control method as described in the first aspect.

[0014] Fifthly, embodiments of this application provide a chip, which includes a processor and a display interface, the display interface and the processor being coupled together, the processor being used to run programs or instructions to implement the steps of the headphone control method as shown in the first aspect.

[0015] In a sixth aspect, embodiments of this application provide a computer program product stored in a storage medium, which is executed by at least one processor to implement the steps of the headphone control method as described in the first aspect.

[0016] In this embodiment, when a connection is established with a headphone device, a headphone icon of the headphone device is displayed. The headphone device includes a first headphone and a second headphone, and the headphone icon includes a first headphone icon of the first headphone and a second headphone icon of the second headphone. Then, a first input is received to move the first headphone icon to the area where the first audio identifier is located. In response to the first input, the first audio corresponding to the first audio identifier is played through the first headphone. In this way, by moving the headphone icon displayed in the electronic device, the audio to be played on each headphone can be quickly determined. While effectively reducing user operations, any one headphone of a headphone device can be controlled to play the first audio. This allows different audio to be played through the first and second headphone respectively, enabling multiple users to listen to different audio simultaneously or a single user to listen to different audio separately, thus improving the efficiency of the user's use of the headphone device.

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0032] To address the problems in related technologies, this application provides a headphone control method, which is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-10 The headphone control method provided in this application will be described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0033] First, combined Figure 1 The headphone control method provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail.

[0034] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an earphone control method provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the headphone control method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to electronic devices, and the method may include the following steps:

[0036] Step 110: When a connection is established with the headphone device, display the headphone icon of the headphone device, the headphone device including a first headphone and a second headphone, the headphone icon including a first headphone icon of the first headphone and a second headphone icon of the second headphone; Step 120: Receive a first input to move the first headphone icon to the area where the first audio identifier is located; Step 130: In response to the first input, play the first audio corresponding to the first audio identifier through the first headphone.

[0037] In this way, the headphone icon displayed on the mobile electronic device can quickly identify the audio to be played on each headphone. This effectively reduces user operations while controlling any one headphone in a pair of headphones to play the first audio. Furthermore, different audio can be played through the first and second headphones respectively, allowing multiple users to listen to different audio simultaneously or a single user to listen to different audio separately, thus improving the efficiency of using the headphone device.

[0038] The steps described above are explained in detail below.

[0039] The headphone device in this application embodiment can be a wired headphone or a wireless headphone. The wireless headphone can be a Bluetooth headphone, an infrared headphone, or a 2.4G headphone, etc., that transmits audio via radio wave reception from an electronic device. More specifically, the Bluetooth headphone can be a true wireless stereo (TWS) headphone. The electronic device in this application embodiment can be a single-screen device, a foldable dual-screen device, a rollable screen device, a dual-screen device, etc. Here, this application embodiment uses the headphone device as a TWS device and the electronic device as a single-screen device or a dual-screen device as examples to describe the headphone control method provided in this application embodiment, without limiting the headphone device and electronic device.

[0040] In one example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the earphone device can be a TWS device, and the electronic device can be a single-screen device. The TWS device can include an earphone case 20, and a first earphone 201 and a second earphone 202 placed inside the earphone case 20. Optionally, the first earphone and the second earphone can be the left and right earphones of the same device.

[0041] Based on this, steps 110 to 130 above will be illustrated with examples.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 2 The user can open the earphone case lid 21 of the TWS device's earphone case 20. At this time, the electronic device communicating with the TWS device can display a first interface, which may include a first earphone icon 201' of the first earphone 201 and a second earphone icon 202' of the second earphone 202. The user can then drag the first earphone icon 201' and the second earphone icon 202' to change their positions on the first interface. Thus, when the electronic device receives a first input from the user moving the first earphone icon 201' to the area where the first audio identifier is located, it responds to the first input by playing the first audio corresponding to the first audio identifier through the first earphone 201. Similarly, when the electronic device receives an input from the user moving the second earphone icon 202' to the area where the second audio identifier is located, it plays the second audio corresponding to the second audio identifier through the second earphone.

[0043] In this way, each earphone can be quickly paired with the audio to be played on each earphone by displaying the headphone icon on the mobile electronic device. This effectively reduces user operations while controlling the first and second earphones of a headphone device to play different audio. This allows multiple users to listen to different audio at the same time or a single user to listen to different audio through different earphones, improving the efficiency of using headphone devices.

[0044] In another example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the earphone device can be a TWS device, which includes an earphone case 20 and a first earphone 201 and a second earphone 202 placed in the earphone case 20. The electronic device is a dual-screen device. The dual-screen device includes a first screen 210 and a second screen 220. The first screen 210 displays a first audio identifier for a first audio, and the second screen 220 displays a second audio identifier for a second audio.

[0045] Based on this, steps 110 to 130 above will be explained.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 The user can open the earphone case lid 21 of the TWS device's earphone case 20. At this time, the first screen 210 of the electronic device 21, which is communicatively connected to the TWS device, can display a first interface. This first interface can include a first earphone icon 201' of the first earphone 201 and a second earphone icon 202' of the second earphone 202. The user can then drag the first earphone icon 201' and the second earphone icon 202' to change their positions on the first screen 210 and the second screen 220. Thus, when the electronic device receives a first input from the user to move the first earphone icon 201' to the first screen (i.e., the area where the first audio identifier is located), it responds to the first input by playing the first audio corresponding to the first audio identifier through the first earphone 201. Similarly, when the electronic device receives an input from the user to move the second earphone icon 202' to the second screen (i.e., the area where the second audio identifier is located), it plays the second audio corresponding to the second audio identifier through the second earphone 202.

[0047] Furthermore, based on the fact that the first earphone is already associated with the first audio (or the second earphone is already associated with the second audio), the earphone control method provided in this application embodiment, in addition to controlling the earphone to play audio by moving the earphone icon as described above, can also trigger the earphone to play audio by flipping the two screens of the electronic device when the electronic device and the earphone device are connected. Based on this, the user can trigger the first earphone to play the first audio by folding and flipping the first screen 210 and the second screen 220. Alternatively, the user can trigger both the first earphone to play the first audio and the second earphone to play the second audio.

[0048] Specifically, when the electronic device receives input from the user folding and flipping the first screen 210 and the second screen 220, it can send a first instruction to the first earphone 201 and a second instruction to the second earphone 202. The first instruction carries first audio data of the first audio and is used to instruct the first earphone to play the first audio according to the first audio data. The second instruction carries second audio data of the second audio and is used to instruct the second earphone to play the second audio according to the second audio data.

[0049] Additionally, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 If the currently displayed interface includes two audio identifiers, such as a first audio identifier for a first audio and a second audio identifier for a second audio, then in response to the first input, the first audio corresponding to the first audio identifier can be played through the first earphone, and the second audio can be played through the second earphone. This reduces the need for the user to move the second earphone icon, improving playback efficiency.

[0050] Therefore, by displaying different audio on different screens of electronic devices, each headphone can be quickly bound to the audio displayed on the screen where the headphone icon is located by moving the headphone icon to the interface of different screens. This effectively reduces user operations while controlling the first and second headphones of a headphone device to play different audio, allowing multiple users to listen to different audio simultaneously or a single user to listen to different audio separately, thus improving the efficiency of using headphone devices.

[0051] It should be noted that the headphone control method provided in this application can be applied to scenarios where there is only one electronic device and one pair of headphones, and multiple people use the headphones to listen to different audio; or, it can be applied to scenarios where the same user wants to listen to different audio from different applications, or different audio from the same application, using one electronic device and one pair of headphones; or, it can also be applied to scenarios where two electronic devices and one pair of headphones are used to listen to different audio. It is understood that the headphone control method provided in this application can be applied to scenarios where one pair of headphones is used to play different audio.

[0052] In another or more possible embodiments, different headphones can be associated with different applications so that audio from different applications can be played through each headphone. Specifically, the electronic device may include a first application, and the first audio is the audio in the first application. Based on this, after step 220, the headphone control method provided in this embodiment may further include:

[0053] Link the first earphone and the first application;

[0054] The third audio from the first application is played through the first headphones. The third audio is any audio in the first application other than the first audio.

[0055] Based on this example, an electronic device can play audio from a first application through the first earpiece by sending a command to the first earpiece. Therefore, the aforementioned step of playing the third audio from the first application through the first earpiece can specifically include:

[0056] A first instruction is sent to the first earphone. The first instruction carries audio data of the first application and is used to instruct the first earphone to play audio corresponding to the audio data of the first application.

[0057] Similarly, the electronic device may also include a second application, and the second audio is the audio within the second application. If the electronic device controls the second earphone to play the second audio, it can send a second instruction to the second earphone. The second instruction carries the audio data of the second application and is used to instruct the second earphone to play the audio corresponding to the audio data of the second application.

[0058] In this way, the headphone icon displayed on the mobile electronic device associates each headphone with a different audio source. Furthermore, if different audio sources are from different applications, the user can associate different headphones with different applications by moving the headphone icon once, quickly determining the audio range to be played on each headphone. This effectively reduces user operations while controlling the first and second headphones of a headphone device to play different audios, allowing multiple users to listen to different audios simultaneously or a single user to listen to different audios separately, thus improving the efficiency of using the headphone device.

[0059] In another possible embodiment, the electronic device further includes a third audio signal. Based on this, after step 130, the headphone control method provided in this application embodiment may further include:

[0060] Receive a second input that moves the first headphone icon to the area where the third audio identifier is located;

[0061] In response to the second input, the first earphone is controlled to switch from playing the first audio to the fourth audio corresponding to the third audio identifier.

[0062] Specifically, the steps described above regarding controlling the first earphone to switch playback from the first audio to the fourth audio corresponding to the third audio identifier may include:

[0063] A third command is sent to the first earpiece, carrying audio data for a fourth audio level. This third command instructs the first earpiece to stop playing the first audio level and to play the fourth audio level based on its audio data. In one example, while the first earpiece switches to playing the third audio level, the second earpiece continues playing its original audio.

[0064] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, if the first audio, the second audio, and the fourth audio are different audios in the same application, the audio to be played by the first earphone can be determined by the user moving the earphone icon of any earphone, such as the position of the first earphone icon. That is, when the electronic device receives the third input from the user moving the first earphone icon 201' to the area 40 where the third audio identifier is located, a third instruction is sent to the first earphone. The third instruction carries the audio data of the fourth audio. The third instruction is used to instruct the first earphone to stop playing the first audio and play the fourth audio according to the audio data of the fourth audio. At this time, the second earphone continues to play the second audio, so that the two earphones will not interfere with each other. This allows for quick switching of the audio played by the earphones by moving the earphone icon displayed on the electronic device.

[0065] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first audio, the second audio, and the fourth audio can also be audio from different applications. In this way, when the electronic device receives a third input from the user that the first headphone icon 201' is moved to the area 40 where the third audio is located, the electronic device can also associate the first headphone with the third application corresponding to the fourth audio, so that other audio from the third application can be played through the first headphone later.

[0066] In another or more possible embodiments, each headset can be quickly associated with a different application so that audio from different applications can be played through different headsets. Based on this, after step 130, the headset control method provided in this application embodiment may further include:

[0067] Receive a third input that moves the first headphone icon to the area where the second headphone icon is located;

[0068] In response to the third input, display N application icons associated with the first earphone, where N is a positive integer;

[0069] Associate each of the N application icons with the corresponding application of the second earphone, so that the second earphone plays the audio of the application corresponding to each application icon.

[0070] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the user can move the first headphone icon 201' to the area 50 where the second headphone icon 202' is located. In this way, the electronic device can associate each of the N application icons associated with the first headphone with the second headphone, so that the second headphone can play the audio of the corresponding application of each of the N application icons. In this way, the binding relationship between the headphone and the application can be easily set so that the audio of each of the N application icons can be played directly through the second headphone next time.

[0071] In another or more possible embodiments, after step 130, the headphone control method provided in this application embodiment may further include:

[0072] Receive the fourth input to the first headphone icon;

[0073] In response to the fourth input, N application icons associated with the first earpiece are displayed;

[0074] Receive the fifth input, which is the target application icon among N application icons;

[0075] In response to the fifth input, audio from the target application corresponding to the target application icon is played through the first earphone.

[0076] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the user can double-click or long-press the first headphone icon 201'. In this way, the electronic device can display the application icons of each of the N applications associated with the first headphone, such as application icon APP1 for application 1, application icon APP2 for application 2, and application icon APP3 for application 3, based on the user's fourth input to the first headphone icon 201'. Then, based on the target application icon APP2 selected by the user, the device determines the application icon APP2 of application 2 where the audio to be played by the first headphone is located, and plays the audio from the target application corresponding to the target application icon through the first headphone.

[0077] Specifically, a fourth instruction can be sent to the first earphone. The fourth instruction carries the audio data of the target application, such as application 2, corresponding to the target application icon APP2. The fourth instruction is used to instruct the first earphone to stop playing the first audio, play the audio in application 2 according to the audio data of the target application, such as application 2, and save the audio playback record of the first earphone.

[0078] In another or more possible embodiments, related audio can be quickly shared by inputting the headphone icon. After step 130, the headphone control method provided in this application embodiment may further include:

[0079] Receive the sixth input to the first headphone icon;

[0080] In response to the sixth input, a first message is sent to the social object, the first message including at least one of the following: the application icon of each of the N applications associated with the first earphone, the historical audio information played by the first earphone, and the audio information currently played by the first earphone.

[0081] Historical audio information may include: audio name and audio source data.

[0082] For example, a user can double-click, long-press, or drag the first headphone icon 201', so that when the electronic device receives the user's sixth input on the first headphone icon 201', it will share the application icon of each of the N applications associated with the first headphone, the name and source of the previously played audio, and the name and source of the currently played audio with the social media user.

[0083] In this way, by inputting the headphone icon, users can quickly share information while reducing user operations.

[0084] Of course, in practical applications, after the electronic device receives the user's seventh input (double-click, long-press, or drag the first headphone icon 201'), it can display the first message for the user to select, and then send the information selected by the user from the first message to the social media contact. This ensures that the shared content meets the user's needs.

[0085] In another or more possible embodiments, after step 130, the headphone control method provided in this application embodiment may further include:

[0086] The first interface displays the video playback, which includes a first video character and a second video character.

[0087] Receive the seventh input that moves the first headphone icon to the area where the first video character is located;

[0088] In response to the seventh input, audio associated with the first video character is played through the first headphones.

[0089] Specifically, in response to the seventh input, audio data of the first video character is sent to the first earpiece so that the first earpiece can play audio associated with the first video character based on the audio data of the first video character.

[0090] Similarly, the electronic device can send the audio data of the second video character to the second earpiece so that the second earpiece can play the audio associated with the second video character based on the audio data of the second video character.

[0091] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the currently playing video is A, which may include a first video character 1 and a second video character 2. The user can move the first headphone icon 201' to the area 70 where the first video character 1 is located. When the electronic device receives the eighth input from the user that the first headphone icon 201' has moved to the area 70 where the first video character 1 is located, it sends audio data of the first video character 1, such as "How is the weather today?", to the first headphone. It can also automatically associate the second headphone with the second video character 2 and then send audio data of the second video character 2, such as "The sun is shining, I like it very much," to the second headphone.

[0092] In this way, different headphones can be used to play the audio of different characters in the video, making it easier for users to distinguish between the characters.

[0093] In addition, in practical applications, if the video includes multiple video characters, such as 5 video characters, the user can also move the second headphone icon 202' to the area 71 where the third video character 3 is located, so that the user can choose the character audio they want to listen to according to their own wishes, thereby improving the efficiency of the user's use of the headphone device.

[0094] In another or more possible embodiments, the user can move the first headphone icon or the second headphone icon to different positions on the audio (or video) playback progress bar. This associates the playback intervals corresponding to different positions with their corresponding headphones, allowing audio within the associated playback area to be played through the corresponding headphones. After step 130, the headphone control method provided in this application embodiment may further include:

[0095] The second interface displays the audio playback, and includes the playback progress bar of the first audio.

[0096] Upon receiving an eighth input that moves the first headphone icon to the first position in the playback progress bar, audio within a first playback interval is played through the first headphone. The first playback interval includes the audio playback start point to the audio playback end point. The audio playback start point corresponds to the first position, and the audio playback end point corresponds to the end position of the playback progress bar.

[0097] Specifically, upon receiving an eighth input that moves the first headphone icon to the first position in the playback progress bar, the first headphone is associated with the first playback interval corresponding to the first position, so as to play an audio segment of the first playback interval through the first headphone;

[0098] Upon receiving the tenth input that moves the second headphone icon to the second position in the playback progress bar, the second headphone is associated with the second playback interval corresponding to the second position, so that the audio segment of the second playback interval is played through the second headphone.

[0099] For example, such as Figure 8As shown, the user can move the first headphone icon 201' to the first position on the audio (or video) playback progress bar. This first position corresponds to the first playback interval from 25:15 to 45:25. Thus, when the audio reaches 25:15, the user can play the audio from 25:15 to 45:25 through the first headphone. Similarly, the user can move the second headphone icon 202' to the second position on the audio (or video) playback progress bar. This second position corresponds to the second playback interval from 00:00 to 25:15. Thus, when the audio starts up to 25:15, the user can play the audio through the second headphone.

[0100] It should be noted that the first playback area and the second playback area can be the same, different, or partially the same; there are no restrictions on this.

[0101] In this way, it is possible to play the same audio at different playback progresses using different headphones from the same headphone device.

[0102] In addition, based on this example, the first playback interval of the first earphone can be set in advance, such as the playback interval from 25:15 to 45:25. Then, when the electronic device and the earphone device are connected and the audio is being played, it can directly jump to 25:15 and play the audio starting from 25:15 through the first earphone. In this way, it is possible to quickly switch and play audio segments.

[0103] In another or more possible embodiments, after step 130, the headphone control method provided in this application embodiment may further include:

[0104] Receive the ninth input that moves the first headphone icon to the area where the second headphone icon is located;

[0105] In response to the ninth input, obtain the first volume of the audio played by the first earphone;

[0106] Adjust the second volume of the audio playback on the second earphone to the first volume.

[0107] For example, refer to Figure 5 Users can move the first headphone icon 201' to the area 50 where the second headphone icon 202' is located. This allows them to obtain the first volume of the audio played by the first headphone and adjust the second volume of the audio played by the second headphone to the first volume. Conversely, users can move the second headphone icon 202 to the area where the first headphone icon 201' is located. This allows them to obtain the second volume of the audio played by the second headphone and adjust the first volume of the audio played by the first headphone to the second volume.

[0108] In another or more possible embodiments, the second method of adjusting the volume, after step 130, the headphone control method provided in this application embodiment may further include:

[0109] Receive the tenth input from the first mobile headphone icon;

[0110] In response to the tenth input, obtain the target display distance of the first and second headphone icons in the display interface;

[0111] Based on the preset association information between display distance and volume, obtain the target volume corresponding to the target display distance;

[0112] Adjust the volume of the audio played through the first and second headphones to the target volume.

[0113] For example, users can adjust the distance between the first headphone icon 201' and the second headphone icon 202' according to their habits. The greater the distance, the louder the volume, and vice versa. In this way, users are provided with a way to adjust the headphone volume through the headphone icon.

[0114] Of course, if the user has not adjusted the icon distance between the first headphone icon 201' and the second headphone icon 202', then the most recent adjustment of the icon distance between the first headphone icon 201' and the second headphone icon 202' by the user can be determined as the target display distance.

[0115] In another or more possible embodiments, after step 110, the headphone control method may further include:

[0116] The first audio is played through the first and second headphones;

[0117] Upon receiving an audio request to play the fifth audio, retrieve the fourth application where the fifth audio is located;

[0118] Based on the association information between the application and the headphones, obtain the headphones corresponding to the fourth application;

[0119] When the earphone corresponding to the second application is the first earphone, a fifth instruction is sent to the first earphone. The fifth instruction carries the fifth audio data of the fifth audio. The first instruction is used to instruct the first earphone to play the fifth audio according to the fifth audio data. At this time, the first earphone continues to play the first audio.

[0120] Alternatively, if no earphone corresponding to the fourth application is obtained, a fifth instruction can be sent to the second earphone. The fifth instruction carries the fifth audio data of the fifth audio. The first instruction is used to instruct the second earphone to play the fifth audio according to the fifth audio data. At this time, the first earphone continues to play the first audio.

[0121] Furthermore, in addition to displaying the headphone icon of the headphone device, the first interface of the headphone control method in this application embodiment can also display the application icons of N applications installed in the electronic device. Based on this, after step 110, the headphone control method may further include:

[0122] Upon receiving input to move the first headphone icon to the area where the first application icon is located, the first headphone is associated with the first application corresponding to the first application icon; and upon receiving input to move the second headphone icon to the area where the second application icon is located, the second headphone is associated with the second application corresponding to the second application icon.

[0123] A sixth instruction is sent to the first earpiece and a seventh instruction is sent to the second earpiece. The sixth instruction carries audio data of the first application and is used to instruct the first earpiece to play the audio of the first application based on the audio data of the first application. The seventh instruction carries audio data of the second application and is used to instruct the second earpiece to play the audio of the second application based on the audio data of the second application.

[0124] For example, such as Figure 9 As shown, the electronic device can be a single-screen device. The user can drag the first headphone icon 201' to the area 90 where the first application icon, such as APP1, is located. In this way, the electronic device can associate the first headphone with the first application and control the first headphone to play the audio of the first application. Similarly, the user can drag the second headphone icon 202' to the area 91 where the second application icon is located. In this way, the electronic device can associate the second headphone with the second application and control the second headphone to play the audio of the second application.

[0125] Or, such as Figure 10 As shown, the electronic device can be a dual-screen device. If the first screen 210 of the dual-screen device displays the first application icon of the first application, such as APP1, and the second screen 220 displays the second application icon of the second application, such as APP2, then the user can drag the first headphone icon 201' to the first screen 210. In this way, the electronic device can associate the first headphone with the first application and control the first headphone to play the audio of the first application. Similarly, the user can drag the second headphone icon 202' to the second screen 220. In this way, the electronic device can also associate the second headphone with the second application and control the second headphone to play the audio of the second application.

[0126] Thus, this application provides a headphone control method that can display different audio icons on different screens of an electronic device. By moving the headphone icon to different screen interfaces, each headphone can be quickly bound to the audio on the interface where the headphone icon is located. This effectively reduces user operations while controlling any one of the headphones of a headphone device to play the first audio. Furthermore, different audio can be played through the first and second headphones respectively, allowing multiple users to listen to different audio simultaneously or a single user to listen to different audio separately, thereby improving the efficiency of using the headphone device.
