Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of smart speakers, and in particular to a smart speaker, a control method thereof, and a smart terminal. Background Art

[0002] To improve the battery life and audio playback quality of smart terminals, smart speaker products have been introduced to the market. Users can place their smart terminals on the smart speakers to charge while playing audio. Currently, there are two main ways to achieve these two functions between smart speakers and smart terminals: one is to establish an electrical connection between the smart speaker and the smart terminal through the charging contacts and audio contacts set on the smart speaker, so that the smart speaker can charge the smart terminal and receive and play the audio signal output by the smart terminal. However, the metal contacts exposed outside the shell have disadvantages such as static electricity, corrosion, and poor contact. Another method is to install a wireless charging component and a near-field communication component in the smart speaker. When the smart terminal is placed on the smart speaker, the smart speaker can charge the smart terminal through the wireless charging component and communicate with the smart terminal through the near-field communication component, thereby completing the automatic matching process of the wireless communication components between the two devices, so that the smart speaker can receive and play the audio signal transmitted from the smart terminal through its internal wireless communication component. Although this design avoids the risk of metal contacts in the above design, it requires the addition of circuits for near-field communication in the smart speaker, which invisibly increases the space occupied by the circuit structure of the smart speaker and the circuit wiring area, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the smart speaker.

[0052] The purpose, features and advantages of the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0054] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0055] To improve the battery life and audio playback quality of smart terminals, smart speaker products have been introduced to the market. Users can place their smart terminals on the smart speakers to charge while playing audio. Currently, there are two main ways to achieve these two functions between smart speakers and smart terminals: one is to establish an electrical connection between the smart speaker and the smart terminal through the charging contacts and audio contacts set on the smart speaker, so that the smart speaker can charge the smart terminal and receive and play the audio signal output by the smart terminal. However, the metal contacts exposed outside the shell have disadvantages such as static electricity, corrosion, and poor contact. Another method is to install a wireless charging component and a near-field communication component in the smart speaker. When the smart terminal is placed on the smart speaker, the smart speaker can charge the smart terminal through the wireless charging component and communicate with the smart terminal through the near-field communication component, thereby completing the automatic matching process of the wireless communication components between the two devices, so that the smart speaker can receive and play the audio signal transmitted from the smart terminal through its internal wireless communication component. Although this design avoids the risk of metal contacts in the above design, it requires the addition of circuits for near-field communication in the smart speaker, which invisibly increases the space occupied by the circuit structure of the smart speaker and the circuit wiring area, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the smart speaker.

[0056] To this end, the present invention proposes a smart speaker, a control method thereof, and a smart terminal. The smart speaker includes a wireless charging component. It can be understood that the smart speaker is provided with a processor for executing the following method and a memory for storing the following method, and the wireless charging component includes a transmitting coil and a wireless charging chip. The smart speaker also has a wireless communication component. When the smart speaker establishes a wireless communication connection with the smart terminal, the wireless communication component of the smart speaker establishes a wireless communication connection with the wireless communication component in the smart terminal. Optionally, the wireless communication component can adopt a Bluetooth communication component, a WIFI communication component, a 4G / 5G communication component, a local area network communication component, etc. Among them, the processor and the wireless communication component can be integrated in the same integrated chip.

[0057] refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the smart speaker control method includes:

[0058] Step S100: The smart speaker obtains the contact status between the smart terminal and itself;

[0059] Step S200: When it is confirmed that the smart terminal and the smart speaker are in a preset contact state, an address request instruction is transmitted to the smart terminal via the wireless charging component;

[0060] In this embodiment, a charging area is provided on the smart speaker, and the steps for the smart speaker to obtain the contact status between the smart terminal and itself include:

[0061] The smart speaker obtains the contact status between the smart terminal and the charging area;

[0062] When it is confirmed that the smart terminal and the smart speaker are in a preset contact state, the step of transmitting an address request instruction to the smart terminal via the wireless charging component includes:

[0063] When it is confirmed that the smart terminal is located in the charging area of ​​the smart speaker, an address request instruction is transmitted to the smart terminal via the wireless charging component.

[0064] Optionally, in one embodiment, the wireless charging component is provided with a transmitting coil and a wireless charging chip, and the charging area corresponding to the position of the transmitting coil is provided on the smart speaker. The step of the smart speaker obtaining the contact status between the smart terminal and the charging area includes:

[0065] The smart speaker obtains the contact status between the smart terminal and the charging area collected by the wireless charging chip;

[0066] When it is confirmed that the smart terminal and the smart speaker are in a preset contact state, the step of transmitting an address request instruction to the smart terminal via the wireless charging component includes:

[0067] When it is confirmed that the smart terminal is set on the charging area of ​​the smart speaker based on the contact status between the smart terminal and the charging area collected by the wireless charging chip, the address request instruction is output to the wireless charging chip, so that the wireless charging chip transmits the address request instruction to the smart terminal via the transmitting coil.

[0068] It is understandable that a charging area is provided on the housing of the smart speaker at the location corresponding to the transmitting coil in the wireless charging component. When a smart terminal also equipped with a wireless charging component is placed in the charging area, the wireless charging chip in the smart terminal will recognize the wireless charging component in the smart terminal through the transmitting coil and perform a handshake with it. At this point, the processor can confirm from the wireless charging chip that the current smart terminal has been placed in the charging area, and will output an address request instruction to the wireless charging chip, so that the wireless charging chip will package the address request instruction and modulate it to the transmitting coil. Through the coupling of the transmitting coil and the receiving coil in the smart terminal, the main control component in the smart terminal will receive the address request instruction through the receiving coil and the wireless charging chip therein.

[0069] Optionally, in another embodiment, to reduce the static power consumption of the smart speaker, a contact detection sensor may be provided proximately to the charging area within the smart speaker to detect pressure applied to the charging area. For example, a pressure detection sensor may output a first pressure detection signal when the smart terminal is placed within the charging area. If the processor does not receive the first pressure detection signal, it may control the wireless charging component to stop operating to reduce its static power consumption. If the processor receives the first pressure detection signal, it may control the wireless charging component to start operating and execute the above process to enable the processor to transmit an address request instruction to the smart terminal via the wireless charging component.

[0070] Step S300: Acquire address information fed back by the smart terminal, and establish a wireless communication connection with the smart terminal based on the address information.

[0071] Specifically, in this embodiment, the step of obtaining the address information fed back by the smart terminal includes:

[0072] Acquire address information fed back from the smart terminal and received by the wireless charging chip via the transmitting coil.

[0073] It is understandable that the smart terminal will also feedback address information to the transmitting coil of the smart speaker through the wireless charging chip and receiving coil inside it. After the wireless charging chip in the smart speaker receives the address information fed back by the smart terminal through the transmitting coil, it will output the address information to the processor. When the processor obtains the address information fed back by the smart terminal, it can control the wireless communication component to send a pairing instruction to the wireless communication component in the smart terminal according to the address information, and complete the wireless communication connection between the two. This enables the smart speaker to receive the audio signal from the smart terminal and play the audio signal through its internal audio playback component, such as a PA amplifier and a speaker. In this way, in actual applications, the smart speaker of the present application can use the wireless charging chip and transmitting coil in the wireless charging component to recognize the approach of the smart terminal and project electrical energy to the smart terminal to charge it, while also being able to communicate with the smart terminal and automatically establish a wireless communication connection between the wireless communication component in the smart speaker and the wireless communication component in the smart terminal, thereby achieving the ability to play the audio of the smart terminal. There is no need to set up additional near-field communication components, such as NFC, in the smart speaker, which effectively simplifies the circuit structure in the smart speaker and improves the integration of the smart speaker.

[0074] In addition, it is understood that, in one embodiment of the present invention, when confirming that the smart terminal is located in the charging area of ​​the smart speaker, the step of transmitting an address request instruction to the smart terminal via the wireless charging component further includes:

[0075] When the smart terminal is confirmed to be located on the charging area of ​​the smart speaker, electric energy is projected to the smart terminal via the wireless charging component to charge the smart terminal.

[0076] It can be seen from the above embodiments that when the wireless charging chip recognizes that the smart terminal is placed in the charging area, the wireless charging chip will handshake communication with the wireless charging chip in the smart terminal through the transmitting coil and the receiving coil in the smart terminal. After foreign object detection and transmission power negotiation, the wireless charging chip will convert the voltage connected to the power supply end of the smart speaker and transmit it to the receiving coil of the smart terminal through the transmitting coil to charge the smart terminal in the charging area.

[0077] In the solution of the present invention, the smart speaker first obtains the contact status between the smart terminal and itself, and when it is confirmed that the smart terminal and the smart speaker are in a preset contact state, it transmits an address request instruction to the smart terminal through the wireless charging component, and after obtaining the address information fed back by the smart terminal, it establishes a wireless communication connection with the smart terminal according to the address information. In this way, in actual applications, the smart speaker of the present application can recognize the approach of the smart terminal and project electrical energy to the smart terminal to charge it through the wireless charging chip and transmitting coil in the wireless charging component, while also being able to communicate with the smart terminal, and automatically establish a wireless communication connection between the wireless communication component in the smart speaker and the wireless communication component in the smart terminal, thereby achieving the ability to play the audio of the smart terminal. There is no need to set up an additional near-field communication component, such as NFC, in the smart speaker, which effectively simplifies the circuit structure in the smart speaker and improves the integration of the smart speaker.

[0078] refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of establishing a wireless communication connection with the smart terminal according to the address information includes:

[0079] Step S310: The smart speaker obtains its own pairing status;

[0080] In this embodiment, after obtaining the address information, the processor in the smart speaker will obtain the current pairing status of the wireless communication component therein, that is, whether the wireless communication component in the current smart speaker has established a wireless communication connection with the wireless communication component in other devices.

[0081] Step S320: When the smart speaker confirms that it is in a pairing state, it establishes a wireless communication connection with the smart terminal according to the address information.

[0082] In this embodiment, when the processor confirms that the current wireless communication component is in a pairing state, it will control the wireless communication component to output a pairing instruction to the wireless communication component in the smart terminal according to the address information to establish a communication connection with the wireless communication component in the smart terminal.

[0083] It should be understood that, as will be apparent from the following embodiments, a user can manipulate a smart terminal to cause the wireless communication component within it to actively establish a wireless communication connection with the wireless communication component within the smart speaker device. Therefore, in actual use, when a user places a smart terminal on the charging area of ​​a smart speaker, the smart speaker may already have established a wireless communication connection with the other terminal.

[0084] For this purpose, refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the step of establishing a wireless communication connection with the smart terminal according to the address information further includes:

[0085] Step S330: When the smart speaker confirms that it is in a paired state, it compares the second address information of the terminal paired with it with the address information fed back by the smart terminal;

[0086] Step S340: If the second address information is consistent with the address information, the smart speaker maintains the current pairing status.

[0087] In this embodiment, after confirming that the current wireless communication component has established a wireless communication connection with a terminal, the processor compares the second address information of the currently connected terminal with the address information transmitted by the smart terminal currently placed on the smart speaker for charging. If the two match, it indicates that the current smart terminal had already established a wireless communication connection with the smart speaker before being placed in the charging area of ​​the smart speaker for wireless charging. Therefore, the current processor maintains the current pairing status of the wireless communication component, allowing the user to play the audio of the smart terminal normally through the smart speaker.

[0088] Furthermore, in another embodiment, referring to Figure 4 If the processor determines that the second address information is inconsistent with the address information, it means that the current smart speaker has established a wireless communication connection with another terminal. To this end, in this embodiment, the step of establishing a wireless communication connection with the smart terminal according to the address information also includes:

[0089] Step S350: If the second address information is inconsistent with the address information, the smart speaker transmits a pairing request instruction to the smart terminal via the wireless charging component;

[0090] Step S360: When the smart speaker receives the pairing consent instruction fed back by the smart terminal, it disconnects the wireless communication connection with the currently paired terminal and establishes a wireless communication connection with the smart terminal according to the address information;

[0091] Step S370: When the smart speaker does not receive a pairing consent instruction from the smart terminal within a preset time period, the current pairing status is maintained.

[0092] In this embodiment, when the processor confirms that the current second address information is inconsistent with the address information, it will also output a pairing request instruction to the transmitting coil via the wireless charging chip in the wireless charging component, and after coil coupling, it will be transmitted to the wireless charging receiving coil on the smart terminal side, so that the main control component in the smart terminal can obtain the pairing request instruction via the wireless charging receiving coil and the wireless charging chip of the smart terminal.

[0093] At this time, the main control component in the smart terminal will control the prompt component therein to start working, in order to prompt the user "whether it is necessary to establish a wireless communication connection with the smart speaker". The user can make a choice by manipulating the trigger component on the smart terminal so that the trigger component outputs a corresponding signal to the main control component. If the main control component of the smart terminal confirms that the user currently needs to establish a wireless communication connection between the smart terminal and the smart speaker based on the signal output by the trigger component, it will output a pairing consent instruction through the wireless charging chip and the receiving coil in the smart terminal and feedback it to the smart speaker. When the processor in the smart speaker receives the pairing consent instruction, it will control the wireless communication component to disconnect the wireless communication connection with the currently paired terminal, and establish a wireless communication connection with the smart terminal based on the address information previously transmitted by the smart terminal.

[0094] If the main control component of the smart terminal confirms based on the signal output by the trigger component that the user does not currently need to establish a wireless communication connection between the smart terminal and the smart speaker, the pairing consent instruction will not be fed back as described above. Therefore, if the processor of the smart speaker does not receive the pairing consent instruction within a preset time (preset by the R&D personnel), such as 1 minute or 30 seconds, the processor will confirm that the current user does not want to establish a wireless communication connection between the smart terminal currently placed in the charging area and the smart speaker, so it will maintain the wireless communication connection status with the original terminal and control the wireless charging chip to start working to output the charging voltage to the smart terminal through the transmitting coil to charge the smart terminal.

[0095] Through the above settings, the smart speaker of the present application can not only automatically establish a wireless communication connection with the smart terminal placed in the charging area in the pairing state, but also provide feedback to the smart terminal when a wireless communication connection has been established with other terminals, so that the user can choose whether to establish a wireless communication connection between the smart terminal currently in the wireless charging area and the smart speaker according to current needs, thereby improving the convenience and flexibility of users in using smart speakers.

[0096] In one embodiment of the present invention, the smart speaker control method further includes:

[0097] When the smart speaker receives the matching request instruction from the smart terminal, it establishes a wireless communication connection with the smart terminal.

[0098] Understandably, in actual applications, users sometimes only need a speaker to play the audio from a smart terminal. Therefore, users can also control the smart terminal to actively discover a smart speaker that is in a pairing state and directly send a matching request instruction to the wireless communication component in the smart speaker via its internal wireless communication component. The matching request instruction includes the address information of the wireless communication component in the smart terminal.

[0099] When the wireless communication component in the smart speaker receives a pairing request and is in a pairing state, it will directly establish a wireless communication connection with the wireless communication component in the smart terminal based on the address information included in the pairing request. This allows users to play audio from the smart terminal through the smart speaker regardless of whether the smart terminal has a wireless charging component, improving the flexibility of smart speaker use.

[0100] refer to Figure 5 The present invention also proposes a smart speaker, characterized in that it includes:

[0101] Wireless charging component 30;

[0102] Memory 10;

[0103] The processor 20 stores a smart speaker control program on the memory 10 and is executed by the processor 20. When the smart speaker control program is executed by the processor 20, it implements any of the above-mentioned smart speaker control methods.

[0104] In this embodiment, the wireless charging assembly 30 includes a transmitting coil 32 and a wireless charging chip 31. The processor 20 is electrically connected to the wireless charging chip 31 and is configured to communicate with the smart terminal via the wireless charging chip 31 and the transmitting coil 32. Furthermore, the wireless charging chip 31 converts the voltage at the power supply end and outputs it to the smart terminal via the transmitting coil 32, thereby wirelessly charging the smart terminal.

[0105] Among them, the position corresponding to the transmitting coil 32 on the shell of the smart speaker is the charging area. The number of transmitting coils 32 can be multiple and arranged flatly, thereby expanding the area occupied by the charging area, thereby reducing the requirements for the accuracy of the placement of the smart terminal, avoiding the problem of charging failure due to misalignment, and improving the convenience of users using it for wireless charging.

[0106] It is understood that the smart speaker is also provided with a wireless communication component. After the processor 20 obtains the address information of the wireless communication component provided by the smart terminal, it will establish a wireless communication connection between the wireless communication component of the smart speaker and the wireless communication component of the smart terminal according to the process of the smart speaker control method described above. The wireless communication component, processor 20, and memory 10 can also be integrated into the same integrated chip.

[0107] It is worth noting that because the smart speaker of the present invention includes all embodiments of the above-mentioned smart speaker control method, the smart speaker of the present invention has all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned smart speaker control method, which will not be repeated here.

[0108] refer to Figure 6The present invention also proposes a smart terminal, which is used to match the above-mentioned smart speaker. The smart terminal includes:

[0109] Main control component 50;

[0110] Wireless charging receiving component 40;

[0111] The main control component 50 is used to output the address information to the smart speaker via the wireless charging receiving component 40 when receiving the address request instruction from the smart speaker via the wireless charging receiving component 40;

[0112] The main control component 50 is also used to output a pairing consent instruction to the smart speaker via the wireless charging receiving component 40 when the pairing request instruction from the smart speaker is received via the wireless receiving component and the access trigger signal is obtained.

[0113] It is understood that the smart terminal in this application can be a smart watch, smart bracelet, smart armband, tablet, mobile phone, etc., and a wireless communication component is provided in the smart terminal. Among them, the wireless communication component and the main control component 50 can be integrated into the same device.

[0114] In this embodiment, the main control component 50 can be implemented using a main controller, such as an MCU, a DSP (Digital Signal Process), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or a SOC (System on Chip). The wireless charging receiving component 40 includes a wireless charging receiving coil 42 and a wireless charging chip 41. The wireless charging receiving component 40 in this embodiment is the wireless charging component of the smart terminal in the above-mentioned method embodiment.

[0115] Specifically, the smart speaker in the above embodiment transmits an address request and a pairing request to the wireless charging chip 41 of the smart terminal via a coupling transmission method between its internal transmitting coil and the receiving coil 42 in the smart terminal. The instructions are then transmitted to the main controller via the wireless charging chip 41. Upon receiving the address request, the main controller transmits the address information of the wireless communication component within the smart terminal back to the smart speaker via the wireless charging chip 41 and the receiving coil 42.

[0116] Similarly, the smart terminal can also have a prompt component and a trigger component. When the main controller receives a pairing request command, the main controller will control the prompt component to start working, prompting the user "whether to establish a wireless communication connection with the smart speaker." The user can make a selection by controlling the trigger component. If the main controller receives an access trigger signal from the trigger component, it confirms that the current user wants to establish a wireless communication connection between the smart terminal and the smart speaker, and then outputs a pairing consent instruction to the smart speaker via the wireless charging chip 41 and receiving coil 42.

[0117] Optionally, in this embodiment, the prompt component can be implemented using a display prompt component, such as a display screen. The main controller can control the display screen to display "Do you need to establish a wireless communication connection with the smart speaker?" to prompt the user. Optionally, the prompt component can also be implemented using a voice prompt component, such as a speaker. The main controller can output a corresponding audio signal to the speaker, so that the speaker emits a voice prompt "Do you need to establish a wireless communication connection with the smart speaker?" to prompt the user.

[0118] Optionally, in this embodiment, the trigger component can be integrated with the prompt component, for example, by using a touch screen. The user can touch the corresponding area on the touch screen to select whether to connect to the smart speaker. In addition, the trigger component can also be set separately, for example, by using a button, touch button, etc. The user can trigger the corresponding trigger component based on the current selection. When the user chooses to connect the smart terminal to the smart speaker, the trigger component will output a connection trigger signal to the main controller, so that the main controller will perform the above-mentioned action.

[0119] The above contents are merely optional embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's description and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, within the scope of the present invention are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
