[0003] Currently, many mobile devices are used in conjunction with Bluetooth headsets, such as for video conferencing, making phone calls, and online classes. In these scenarios, users often do not want to be interrupted. Therefore, insufficient battery power in either the mobile device or the Bluetooth headset can disrupt these usage scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The principles and spirit of this application will now be described with reference to several exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided merely to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of this application in any way. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make this application more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of this application to those skilled in the art.

[0020] According to the embodiments of this application, a method and related equipment for power exchange between an earphone case and a mobile terminal are proposed.

[0021] In this article, it is important to understand that any number of elements in the accompanying figures is for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and has no limiting meaning.

[0022] The principles and spirit of this application will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.

[0023] Currently, many mobile devices are used in conjunction with Bluetooth headsets. However, the underlying technology doesn't involve power exchange between the headset and the mobile device. Therefore, if either the headset or the mobile device runs out of power, it will affect normal user experience. For example, if a user is participating in a video conference using a mobile device and a Bluetooth headset, and the mobile device automatically shuts down due to low battery, the user will be forced to end the conference. If the Bluetooth headset stops working due to low battery, it will severely impact call quality and may even prevent the user from receiving audio from the video conference. If the video conference is important, this will undoubtedly cause irreparable damage to the user.

[0024] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a method for power exchange between an earphone case and a mobile terminal, specifically including:

[0025] When the mobile terminal is in a preset usage scenario, the system acquires the first remaining battery level of the mobile terminal, the second remaining battery level of the Bluetooth headset connected to the mobile terminal, and the third remaining battery level of the earphone case. Based on the preset usage scenario, the first remaining battery level, the second remaining battery level, and the third remaining battery level, the system controls the earphone case to exchange power with the mobile terminal. This reasonable control of power exchange between the earphone case and the mobile terminal reduces the adverse effects caused by insufficient battery power of the mobile terminal or Bluetooth headset in the preset usage scenario. For example, when a user is participating in a video conference using a mobile terminal and Bluetooth headset, if the mobile terminal's battery is insufficient to support the entire video conference, but the Bluetooth headset and earphone case have sufficient power, this solution can automatically transfer power from the earphone case to the mobile terminal, effectively charging the mobile terminal and enabling it to support the entire video conference.

[0026] After introducing the basic principles of this application, the various non-limiting embodiments of this application will be described in detail below.

[0027] In specific application scenarios, the power exchange method between the earphone case and the mobile terminal of this application can be applied to various systems involving power exchange between the earphone case and the mobile terminal. Optionally, the system can be directly installed in the mobile terminal or the earphone case, or directly set up in a cloud server; there is no limitation on this.

[0028] The following describes a power exchange method between an earphone case and a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of this application, using specific application scenarios. It should be noted that the above application scenarios are shown only to facilitate understanding of the spirit and principles of this application, and the embodiments of this application are not limited in any way. Rather, the embodiments of this application can be applied to any applicable scenario.

[0029] refer to Figure 1 This application provides a method for power exchange between an earphone case and a mobile terminal, the method comprising the following steps:

[0030] S101, in response to the mobile terminal being in a preset usage scenario, the first remaining battery power of the mobile terminal, the second remaining battery power of the Bluetooth headset connected to the mobile terminal, and the third remaining battery power of the earphone case configured with the Bluetooth headset are obtained.

[0031] In specific implementation, the mobile terminal can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, or other mobile terminal. The preset usage scenarios can be set as needed and are not limited here. For example, the preset usage scenarios could be attending online meetings, taking online classes, or making video calls. Optionally, generally, the preset usage scenarios mainly refer to usage scenarios where both the mobile terminal and Bluetooth headset are needed simultaneously and the user does not want to be interrupted. Optionally, when the implementing entity in this step obtains the first remaining battery power, the second remaining battery power, and the third remaining battery power, it can send battery power acquisition commands to the mobile terminal, Bluetooth headset, and headset case respectively, and then receive the battery power information sent by these devices. Optionally, the implementing entity can be a server, a mobile terminal, or a headset case. In some embodiments, the implementing entity can also be a Bluetooth headset, which is not limited.

[0032] It should be noted that the earphone case in this application embodiment mainly refers to an earphone case with power supply function, and the earphone case can not only provide power to Bluetooth earphones, but also charge mobile terminals.

[0033] S102, based on the preset usage scenario, the first remaining battery power, the second remaining battery power, and the third remaining battery power, control the earphone box to exchange power with the mobile terminal.

[0034] In practice, after obtaining the battery information from step three and determining the preset usage scenario, the earphone case and the mobile terminal can be controlled to exchange power according to the specific preset usage scenario and the above three battery information. This allows the earphone case and the mobile terminal to share power, thereby maximizing the use of power and ensuring that normal use by the user is not affected. (Reference) Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between a Bluetooth headset, a charging case, and a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal and the Bluetooth headset have a Bluetooth connection, and the charging case can charge the Bluetooth headset and exchange power with the mobile terminal.

[0035] It should be noted that, to improve the user experience and minimize user interaction, the mobile terminal and the Bluetooth earphone case primarily exchange power via wireless charging technology. Optionally, magnetic modules can be installed in the wireless charging areas of both the mobile terminal and the earphone case. This not only ensures charging quality but also allows the two devices to attract each other when there is a certain distance between them, facilitating power exchange. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the mobile terminal and the Bluetooth earphone case primarily exchange power via a wired connection, requiring the user to connect the two devices beforehand.

[0036] In some embodiments, based on the preset usage scenario, the first remaining battery level, the second remaining battery level, and the third remaining battery level, the power exchange between the earphone case and the mobile terminal is controlled, specifically including:

[0037] Determine the predicted duration of the preset usage scenario;

[0038] The first remaining usage time of the mobile terminal is determined based on the first remaining battery power.

[0039] The second remaining usage time of the Bluetooth headset is determined based on the second remaining battery power and the third remaining battery power.

[0040] Based on the predicted duration, the first remaining usage time, and the second remaining usage time, the earphone case is controlled to exchange power with the mobile terminal.

[0041] In specific implementation, when controlling the power exchange between the earphone case and the mobile terminal, the predicted duration of the preset usage scenario is first determined. Optionally, the predicted duration can be determined by the type of the preset usage scenario, that is, by estimating the predicted duration corresponding to a category. Then, the first remaining usage time of the mobile terminal is determined based on the first remaining battery power. To accurately determine the first remaining usage time, it can be determined simultaneously based on the first remaining battery power and the preset usage scenario. The second remaining usage time of the Bluetooth earphone is determined based on the second remaining battery power and the third remaining battery power. Optionally, the usable time of the Bluetooth earphone itself can be determined first based on the second remaining battery power, taking into account user habits. Then, the usage time corresponding to the battery power that the earphone case can provide for charging the Bluetooth earphone is determined based on the third remaining battery power. These two times are then added together to obtain the second remaining usage time. Finally, based on the predicted duration, the first remaining usage time, and the second remaining usage time, the power exchange between the earphone case and the mobile terminal is controlled.

[0042] It should be noted that, considering user habits, the usable time of the Bluetooth earbuds mentioned above mainly refers to the time when both earbuds are used simultaneously. Since the user is already in the preset usage scenario when the charging case charges the Bluetooth earbuds, only one earbud can be charged while the other continues to be used to ensure uninterrupted use. Therefore, the usage time corresponding to the amount of battery power the charging case can provide for the Bluetooth earbuds, determined based on the remaining battery level, mainly refers to the usage time of a single Bluetooth earbud.

[0043] In some embodiments, determining the predicted duration of the preset usage scenario specifically includes:

[0044] Obtain first-time information corresponding to the preset usage scenario from the mobile terminal;

[0045] The predicted duration of the preset usage scenario is determined based on the first time information.

[0046] In practice, in order to accurately determine the predicted duration of the preset usage scenario, the first time information corresponding to the preset usage scenario can be obtained from the mobile terminal. Optionally, the first time information can be the predicted duration of the preset usage scenario recorded in the mobile terminal log, such as the time of a video conference held by the unit from 10:00 to 12:00, or a pre-booked online meeting.

[0047] In some embodiments, determining the predicted duration of the preset usage scenario specifically includes:

[0048] Get the current time;

[0049] The predicted duration of the preset usage scenario is determined based on the current time and the preset time closest to the current time.

[0050] In practice, when the predicted duration of the preset usage scenario cannot be directly obtained, it can be determined by setting some preset times in advance. These preset times can generally be set with reference to the user's daily life routine, and there are no specific restrictions. For example, most users will get off work and have lunch at 12 noon, so 12 noon can be set as a preset time. If the current time is 10 am, then the preset usage scenario will most likely stop at 12 noon. Therefore, the predicted duration of the preset usage scenario can be determined to be 2 hours.

[0051] In some embodiments, controlling the exchange of power between the earphone case and the mobile terminal based on the predicted duration, the first remaining usage time, and the second remaining usage time specifically includes:

[0052] In response to the first remaining usage time being greater than the predicted duration and the second remaining usage time being less than the predicted duration, the mobile terminal is controlled to transmit power to the earphone box.

[0053] In response to the first remaining usage time being less than the predicted duration and the second remaining usage time being greater than the predicted duration, the earphone case is controlled to transmit power to the mobile terminal.

[0054] In practice, after obtaining the predicted duration, the first remaining usage time, and the second remaining usage time, the battery level of the device with more remaining usage time can be transferred to the device with less remaining usage time, thereby ensuring that the Bluetooth headset and the mobile terminal can work simultaneously for as long as possible, and further ensuring that the preset usage scenario is not interrupted.

[0055] In some embodiments, after controlling the mobile terminal to transmit power to the earphone case, the method further includes:

[0056] The first electrical energy available for transmission by the mobile terminal is determined based on the first remaining usage time and the predicted duration.

[0057] Based on the first electrical energy, the Bluetooth headset can be extended for a first period of time.

[0058] In response to the fact that the sum of the first usage time and the second remaining usage time is less than the predicted duration, a prompt message indicating that only one earphone is being used is sent to the Bluetooth earphone.

[0059] In practice, the first step is to determine the available power from the mobile terminal for extending the Bluetooth headset's battery. If the sum of the first usage time and the second remaining usage time is greater than the predicted duration, then no further methods are needed to extend the Bluetooth headset's battery. If the sum of the first usage time and the second remaining usage time is less than the predicted duration, it indicates that the available power from the mobile terminal is insufficient to extend the Bluetooth headset's battery. In this case, a prompt message can be sent to the Bluetooth headset indicating that only one earpiece should be used. This proactively informs the user that the Bluetooth headset's battery is low and that using only one earpiece can improve battery life.

[0060] It should be noted that the specific method for determining the first additional usage time of the Bluetooth headset based on the first electrical energy is not limited here. Optionally, the mapping relationship between the first electrical energy and the first usage time can be determined experimentally, and then the first usage time can be determined based on the first electrical energy with this mapping relationship.

[0061] In some embodiments, after sending a prompt message to the Bluetooth headset indicating that one earphone is being used, the method further includes:

[0062] In response to the Bluetooth headset switching its working mode to single-ear working within a first preset time, a second additional usage time for the Bluetooth headset corresponding to the single-ear working is determined;

[0063] In response to the fact that the sum of the second usage time, the first usage time, and the second remaining usage time is less than the predicted duration, the performance of the mobile terminal is reduced, and a second electrical energy available for transmission corresponding to the reduction in the performance of the mobile terminal is determined.

[0064] In specific implementation, when the Bluetooth headset switches to single-earbud operation within the first preset time, it indicates that the user has actively switched the headset usage mode. At this point, it's necessary to further determine whether the headset can continue operating until the end. If the sum of the second usage time, the first usage time, and the second remaining usage time is less than the predicted duration, it means the Bluetooth headset still cannot meet the battery life requirements. In this case, the performance of the mobile terminal can be reduced, and a second power source corresponding to the reduced performance can be determined for transmission, thereby improving the headset's battery life. Optionally, the first preset time can be set as needed. To distinguish whether the user actively switched the headset usage mode based on a reminder, rather than switching because one earbud was running low on power, the first preset time is generally set relatively short.

[0065] In some embodiments, after determining a second electrical energy available for transmission that reduces the usability of the mobile terminal, the method further includes:

[0066] Based on the second electrical energy, a third additional usage time can be determined for the Bluetooth headset;

[0067] In response to the fact that the sum of the third usage time, the second usage time, the first usage time, and the second remaining usage time is less than the predicted duration, a prompt message is sent to the Bluetooth earphone to charge the earphone case or replace the earphone.

[0068] In practice, if reducing the performance of the mobile terminal still cannot meet the battery life requirements of the earphones, then the Bluetooth earphones need to send a prompt to the user to charge the earphone case or replace the earphones. Optionally, the specific method for reducing the performance of the mobile terminal is not limited here; for example, the brightness of the mobile terminal's display screen can be reduced, or some temporarily unused background programs or applications can be closed.

[0069] In some embodiments, after controlling the earphone box to transmit power to the mobile terminal, the method further includes:

[0070] The third electrical energy that the earphone case can be used to transmit is determined based on the second remaining usage time and the predicted duration;

[0071] The fourth additional usage time of the mobile terminal is determined based on the second electrical energy;

[0072] In response to the fact that the sum of the fourth usage time and the first remaining usage time is less than the predicted duration, the performance of the mobile terminal is reduced.

[0073] In practical implementation, when improving the battery life of a mobile terminal, the first consideration should be the amount of power that the earphone case itself can use for transmission, as this amount is generally large. Then, it should be further considered that all power transmission processes involve consumption; that is, the transmission process cannot be 100% efficient. Therefore, if the power available for transmission from the earphone case itself is insufficient to meet the battery life requirements of the mobile terminal, the priority should be given to improving battery life by reducing the performance of the mobile terminal, thus avoiding power loss during transmission.

[0074] In some embodiments, after reducing the performance of the mobile terminal, the method further includes:

[0075] Determine the fifth increase in usage time for the mobile terminal corresponding to the reduction in the performance of the mobile terminal;

[0076] In response to the fact that the sum of the fifth usage time, the fourth usage time, and the first remaining usage time is less than the predicted duration, a prompt message indicating that only one earphone is being used is sent to the Bluetooth earphone.

[0077] In response to the Bluetooth headset switching to single-ear operation within the first preset time period, the fourth electrical energy that the earphone case can transmit corresponding to the single-ear operation is determined.

[0078] In practice, if reducing the performance of the mobile terminal still cannot meet its battery life requirements, a prompt message indicating that only one earphone is being used can be sent to the Bluetooth earphone. This allows the user to switch the earphone usage mode to save power in the earphone case, thereby improving the battery life of the mobile terminal.

[0079] In some embodiments, after determining that the earphone case corresponding to the operation of the single earphone can be used to transmit a fourth electrical energy, the method further includes:

[0080] Based on the fourth electrical energy, a sixth additional usage time can be determined for the mobile terminal;

[0081] In response to the fact that the sum of the sixth usage time, the fifth usage time, the fourth usage time, and the first remaining usage time is less than the predicted duration, a prompt message is sent to the user to charge the mobile terminal.

[0082] In practice, when switching the headphone usage mode to save power in the headphone case is insufficient to meet the mobile terminal's battery life requirements, a prompt message to charge the mobile terminal can be sent to the user to avoid affecting the user's normal use of the preset scenario.

[0083] In some embodiments, after controlling the earphone case to exchange power with the mobile terminal based on the predicted duration, the first remaining usage time, and the second remaining usage time, the method further includes:

[0084] Obtain second time information corresponding to the predicted duration from the preset usage scenario, and adjust the predicted duration based on the second time information;

[0085] Based on the adjusted predicted duration, the first remaining usage time, and the second remaining usage time, the earphone case is controlled to exchange power with the mobile terminal.

[0086] In practical implementation, considering that when a mobile terminal is using a preset usage scenario, the preset usage scenario may contain a precise duration, such as the end time of an online meeting mentioned by a user. Therefore, when second time information corresponding to the predicted duration is obtained from the preset usage scenario, the predicted duration is adjusted based on the second time information. Then, based on the adjusted predicted duration, the first remaining usage time, and the second remaining usage time, the earphone case is controlled to exchange power with the mobile terminal.

[0087] In some embodiments, after determining the predicted duration of the preset use scenario, the method further includes:

[0088] In response to the current duration of the preset usage scenario being greater than the predicted duration, the system re-controls the exchange of power between the earphone case and the mobile terminal to make the remaining usage time of the mobile terminal and the Bluetooth earphone equal.

[0089] In practice, in some specific situations, the current duration of the preset usage scenario may be greater than the predicted duration, meaning the predicted duration is smaller or less accurate. In this case, to ensure that the user can maintain the preset usage scenario for the longest possible time, the power exchange between the earphone case and the mobile terminal is restarted to make the remaining usage time of the mobile terminal and the Bluetooth earphone equal.

[0090] In some embodiments, before the earphone case and the mobile terminal exchange power, based on the preset usage scenario, the first remaining battery level, the second remaining battery level, and the third remaining battery level, the method further includes:

[0091] The device controls the earphone box to transmit power to the mobile terminal. If the mobile terminal does not receive power from the earphone box within a second preset time, it sends a prompt message to the Bluetooth earphone indicating that the power exchange conditions are not met.

[0092] In practical implementation, to ensure that the earphone case and the mobile communication terminal can exchange power, the earphone case can be controlled to transmit power to the mobile terminal before power exchange occurs. If the mobile terminal does not receive power from the earphone case within a second preset time, it indicates that the conditions for power exchange are not met, such as the two being too far apart or not connected. In this case, a prompt message indicating that the power exchange conditions are not met needs to be sent to the user via the Bluetooth headset. Optionally, other means can be used to determine whether the conditions for power exchange are met. For example, the mobile terminal can be controlled to transmit power to the earphone case, the distance between the two can be directly determined, or other methods that can achieve the determination can be used. No limitation is made on these methods.

[0093] The power exchange method between the earphone case and the mobile terminal provided in this application, when the mobile terminal is in a preset usage scenario, obtains the first remaining battery power of the mobile terminal, the second remaining battery power of the Bluetooth earphone connected to the mobile terminal, and the third remaining battery power of the earphone case configured with the Bluetooth earphone; based on the preset usage scenario, the first remaining battery power, the second remaining battery power, and the third remaining battery power, controls the earphone case to exchange power with the mobile terminal, thereby reducing the adverse effects caused by insufficient battery power of the mobile terminal or Bluetooth earphone in the preset usage scenario by reasonably controlling the power exchange between the earphone case and the mobile terminal.

[0094] Based on the same inventive concept, corresponding to any of the above embodiments, this application also provides a power exchange device for an earphone case and a mobile terminal.

[0095] refer to Figure 3 The power exchange device between the earphone case and the mobile terminal includes:

[0096] The acquisition module 201, in response to the mobile terminal being in a preset usage scenario, acquires the first remaining battery power of the mobile terminal, the second remaining battery power of the Bluetooth headset connected to the mobile terminal, and the third remaining battery power of the earphone case configured with the Bluetooth headset;

[0097] The switching module 202 controls the earphone box to exchange power with the mobile terminal based on the preset usage scenario, the first remaining power, the second remaining power, and the third remaining power.
