[0046] The playback status parameters of the second terminal fed back by the earphone body are obtained; wherein, the earphone body is used to send the playback status parameters of the second terminal to the charging case when the playback status parameters of the second terminal change;

[0047] If the second terminal is determined to be playing the second audio based on the current playback status parameters and the playback status parameters at the previous time of change, then the audio type of the second audio is determined based on the current playback status parameters.

[0048] In one embodiment, if the second terminal is currently playing the second audio based on the current playback state parameters and the playback state parameters at the previous time of change, then determining the audio type of the second audio based on the current playback state parameters includes:

[0049] If the audio type of the second audio is determined to be non-call audio based on the current playback status parameters, then monitor the duration of the playback status parameters of the second terminal in the current state.

[0050] If the duration is lower than a preset time threshold, the audio type of the second audio is determined to be non-multimedia audio.

[0051] If the duration is not less than the time threshold, then the audio type of the second audio is determined to be multimedia audio.

[0061] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the embodiments of this application have the following advantages:

[0062] The audio playback method and device provided in this application are applied to the charging case of wireless earphones. The charging case controls multi-terminal audio switching for the earphones. The earphones are wirelessly connected to at least a first terminal and a second terminal. The charging case is either the first terminal or the second terminal. When the first terminal plays a first audio signal through the earphones, if the second terminal plays a second audio signal, the audio type of the second audio signal is determined. Based on the audio types of the first and second audio signals, the playback task to be performed by the earphones, the first playback processing to be performed by the first terminal, and the second playback processing to be performed by the second terminal are determined. This allows the first and second terminals to perform their respective playback processing, achieving the purpose of performing playback tasks on the earphones. When audio tasks triggered by multiple terminals connected to the earphones conflict, the charging case coordinates and controls the audio tasks of each terminal, ensuring normal playback of the earphones and preventing conflicts between different audio tasks from affecting normal user operation.

[0071] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0072] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the application environment of an audio playback method in one embodiment. For example... Figure 1As shown, the application environment includes a wireless earphone 110 and a terminal 120. The wireless earphone 110 includes an earphone body 111 and a charging case 112. The charging case 112 can be used as an independent terminal, equipped with an operating system, and can run applications. The charging case 112 can control the audio playback of the terminal 120 through the earphone body 111, and can also determine the audio playback status of the charging case 112 and the terminal 120 based on the information fed back by the earphone body 111. The earphone body 111 wirelessly communicates with the charging case 112 and the terminal 120 via Bluetooth, meaning the earphone body 111 can simultaneously connect to at least two terminals via Bluetooth. For example, the two terminals are the first terminal and the second terminal. If the charging case 112 is the first terminal, then the terminal 120 is the second terminal; if the charging case 112 is the second terminal, then the terminal 120 is the first terminal. The terminal 120 can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, IoT devices, and portable wearable devices.

[0073] like Figure 2 As shown, this application provides an audio playback method, applicable to, for example... Figure 1 The charging case 112 shown, the method includes steps S201 to S202, wherein:

[0074] In step S201, if the second terminal plays the second audio while the first terminal plays the first audio through the headphone body, the audio type of the second audio is determined.

[0075] The audio types include multimedia audio, call audio, and non-multimedia audio. Multimedia audio includes music, video audio, audio from audiobook applications, and other audio with a relatively long playback duration. Non-multimedia audio refers to audio with a shorter playback duration, such as notification sounds and navigation prompts. Furthermore, the audio type of the first audio can be determined when it is triggered for playback, or it can be determined when the second audio is played on the second terminal.

[0076] The audio types of the first and second audio files can be determined by obtaining the playback status parameters of the first and second terminals fed back by the earphone itself. The playback status parameters reflect whether the terminal is currently playing audio. In some embodiments, the playback status parameters of the terminal may differ when playing different audio types, or the changes in the playback status parameters may vary. Therefore, the audio type can be determined based on the playback status parameters.

[0077] Step S202: Determine the playback task to be performed by the headphone body, the first playback process to be performed by the first terminal, and the second playback process to be performed by the second terminal based on the audio type of the first audio and the audio type of the second audio, so that when the first terminal performs the first playback process and the second terminal performs the second playback process, the headphone body performs the playback task.

[0078] For conflicting first and second audio frequencies, coordinated control is needed based on their audio types to determine the content to be played by the headphones. In some embodiments, the playback method of the headphones can also be determined based on the audio types, such as playback time, playback order, and playback volume. Since the headphones are the carrier for audio playback, the corresponding playback task also requires the cooperation of the terminal that generates the audio task. That is, the playback task to be performed by the headphones is determined, as well as the first playback processing and the second playback processing to be performed by the first terminal and the second terminal, respectively. By performing the first playback processing on the first terminal and the second playback processing on the second terminal, and controlling the headphones to cooperate with the terminal that needs to play the audio as determined by the playback processing, the determined playback task is executed on the headphones.

[0079] This embodiment controls the switching of audio between multiple terminals via the charging case. The earphones are wirelessly connected to at least a first terminal and a second terminal. The charging case is either the first or second terminal. When the first terminal plays the first audio through the earphones, if the second terminal plays the second audio, the audio type of the second audio is determined. Based on the audio types of the first and second audio, the playback task to be performed by the earphones, the first playback processing to be performed by the first terminal, and the second playback processing to be performed by the second terminal are determined. This allows the first and second terminals to perform their respective playback processing, achieving the purpose of performing playback tasks on the earphones. When audio tasks triggered by multiple terminals connected to the earphones conflict, the charging case coordinates and controls the audio tasks of each terminal that triggered the audio tasks, ensuring normal playback of the earphones and avoiding conflicts between different audio tasks that may affect normal user use.

[0080] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, determining the playback task to be performed by the headphone body, the first playback process to be performed by the first terminal, and the second playback process to be performed by the second terminal based on the audio type of the first audio and the audio type of the second audio includes:

[0081] Step S301: If the first audio is a call audio and the second audio is a call audio, then generate and display the first selection operation prompt.

[0082] The first selection prompt indicates to the user that there are two call audio options available, allowing the user to choose which audio to play through the earphone itself. The display refers to showing the first selection prompt on the charging case or other terminal connected to the earphone, enabling the user to make the selection.

[0083] Step S302: In response to the first operation instruction entered by the user according to the first selection operation prompt, determine that the playback task is to play the call audio corresponding to the first operation instruction.

[0084] The first operation instruction is the user's input through the terminal displaying the first selection operation prompt, indicating which call audio should be played through the headset. Therefore, the playback task at this time plays the call audio selected by the user according to the first operation instruction.

[0085] In step S303, if the first operation instruction is to select to play the first audio, then the first playback process is to maintain the playback state, and the second playback process is to cut off the second audio.

[0086] In this embodiment, the second audio is the call audio triggered later. Therefore, if the first operation instruction points to the first audio, the original playback state of the first audio is maintained and the headset continues to play it. The second audio needs to be cut off. Therefore, the first playback process performed by the first terminal is to maintain the playback state, and the second playback process performed by the second terminal is to cut off the second audio.

[0087] In step S304, if the first operation instruction is to select to play the second audio, then the first playback process is to cut off the first audio, and the second playback process is to play the second audio through the headphone body.

[0088] In this embodiment, the second audio is the call audio triggered later. Therefore, if the first operation instruction points to the second audio, the first audio needs to be cut off, and the second audio needs to be played through the headset. Thus, the first playback process performed by the first terminal is to cut off the first audio, and the second playback process performed by the second terminal is to play the second audio through the headset.

[0089] In one embodiment, determining the playback task to be performed by the headphone body, the first playback process to be performed by the first terminal, and the second playback process to be performed by the second terminal based on the audio type of the first audio and the audio type of the second audio includes:

[0090] If the first audio is a call audio or a non-multimedia audio, and the second audio is a multimedia audio, then the playback task is determined to continue playing the first audio and play the second audio when the first audio stops playing;

[0091] Based on the playback task, the first playback process is determined to maintain the playback state, and the second playback process is to pause the playback of the second audio until the first audio stops playing, at which point the second audio will be played through the headphones.

[0092] If the second audio is multimedia audio, it can be assumed that the current playback of multimedia audio on the second terminal is actively triggered by the user. User-initiated audio tasks need to be played, but the second audio is a subsequently triggered task. If the first audio is call audio, priority must be given to ensuring the user can continue the call. In this case, the second audio needs to wait until the first audio stops playing, i.e., the call ends, before playing the second audio through the headset. If the first audio is non-multimedia audio, due to its short playback time, the second audio can be delayed, playing after the first audio stops. Therefore, when the first audio is call audio or non-multimedia audio, and the second audio is multimedia audio, the headset's playback task is to continue playing the first audio and play the second audio when the first audio stops. To achieve this, the first terminal simply maintains playback, playing the first audio normally until it stops. The second terminal needs to pause the playback of the second audio first, and then play the second audio through the headset when the first audio stops.

[0093] In one embodiment, determining the playback task to be performed by the headphone body, the first playback process to be performed by the first terminal, and the second playback process to be performed by the second terminal based on the audio type of the first audio and the audio type of the second audio includes:

[0094] If the first audio is a call audio or a non-multimedia audio, and the second audio is a multimedia audio, then the playback task is determined to be that the first earpiece in the headset plays the first audio, and the second earpiece in the headset plays the second audio.

[0095] Based on the playback task, the first playback process is determined to maintain the playback of the first audio through the first earphone, and the second playback process is to play the second audio through the second earphone.

[0096] If the second audio is multimedia audio, it can be assumed that the current playback of multimedia audio on the second terminal is actively triggered by the user. Audio tasks actively triggered by the user need to be played, but the second audio is an audio task triggered later. If the first audio is call audio, it is necessary to ensure that the user can make a normal call. If the first audio is non-multimedia audio, since its continuous playback time is short, it will not interfere much with the playback of multimedia audio. In both cases, the two earpieces of the headset can play the first audio and the second audio respectively. That is, the playback task is that the first earpiece in the headset plays the first audio, and the second earpiece in the headset plays the second audio. The first terminal communicates with the first earpiece to maintain the playback of the first audio, and the second terminal transmits the audio to the second earpiece for playback.

[0097] In one embodiment, determining the playback task to be performed by the headphone body, the first playback process to be performed by the first terminal, and the second playback process to be performed by the second terminal based on the audio type of the first audio and the audio type of the second audio includes:

[0098] If the first audio is a call audio, multimedia audio, or non-multimedia audio, and the second audio is non-multimedia audio, then the playback task is determined to play the first audio and the second audio simultaneously.

[0099] Based on the playback task, the first playback process is determined to maintain the playback of the first audio through the headphones themselves, and the second playback process is to play the second audio through the headphones themselves.

[0100] When the second audio triggered later is non-multimedia audio, its continuous playback time is short. Therefore, regardless of whether the first audio is call audio, multimedia audio, or non-multimedia audio, playing both the first and second audio simultaneously has little interference with the user experience. Furthermore, for some non-multimedia audio, timeliness is crucial, such as navigation voice prompts, which need to be played promptly. Therefore, the playback task of the headset itself is to play both the first and second audio simultaneously. The first playback process performed by the first terminal is to continue playing the first audio through the headset, and the second playback process performed by the second terminal is to play the second audio through the headset, thus achieving simultaneous playback of both the first and second audio within the headset.

[0101] To reduce interference between the first and second audio files when played simultaneously, in one embodiment, the first playback process may involve lowering the playback volume of the first audio file until the second audio file finishes playing. In another embodiment, the second playback process may involve playing the second audio file at a volume lower than that of the first audio file.

[0102] In one embodiment, determining the playback task to be performed by the headphone body, the first playback process to be performed by the first terminal, and the second playback process to be performed by the second terminal based on the audio type of the first audio and the audio type of the second audio includes:

[0103] If the first audio is a non-multimedia audio and the second audio is a call audio, then the playback task is determined to play the first audio and the second audio simultaneously.

[0104] Based on the playback task, the first playback process is determined to maintain the playback of the first audio through the headphones themselves, and the second playback process is to play the second audio through the headphones themselves.

[0105] If the first audio is non-multimedia audio, its continuous playback time is short. The second audio is call audio, requiring the user to maintain normal communication. Therefore, playing both audio simultaneously has minimal interference with the user experience. Thus, the headset's playback task is to play both audio simultaneously. The first playback process performed by the first terminal is to continue playing the first audio through the headset, and the second playback process performed by the second terminal is to play the second audio through the headset, thereby achieving simultaneous playback of both audio within the headset.

[0106] In one embodiment, the first playback process may involve playing the first audio at a volume lower than that of the second audio. By adjusting the playback volumes of the first and second audio to different levels, mutual interference when playing simultaneously is reduced.

[0107] In one embodiment, determining the playback task to be performed by the headphone body, the first playback process to be performed by the first terminal, and the second playback process to be performed by the second terminal based on the audio type of the first audio and the audio type of the second audio includes:

[0108] If the first audio is a call audio, the second audio is a non-multimedia audio or a multimedia audio, and any terminal wirelessly connected to the headset is in Do Not Disturb mode, then the playback task is determined to be playing the first audio.

[0109] Based on the playback task, the first playback process is determined to maintain the playback of the first audio through the headphones, and the second playback process is to stop the second audio.

[0110] When any device wirelessly connected to the earbuds is in Do Not Disturb mode, the charging case will control the earbuds to play only call audio and will not respond to other audio types. Therefore, if the first audio is call audio and the second audio is non-multimedia audio or multimedia audio, the second audio will not be responded to. In this case, the earbuds will play the first audio, the first playback process for the first device will be to maintain the playback of the first audio through the earbuds, and the second playback process for the second device will be to stop the second audio.

[0111] In some embodiments, other devices besides the charging case can communicate with the charging case via the earbuds themselves, indicating that they are in Do Not Disturb mode. In another embodiment, other devices besides the charging case can communicate directly with the charging case to indicate that they are in Do Not Disturb mode.

[0112] In one embodiment, determining the playback task to be performed by the headphone body, the first playback process to be performed by the first terminal, and the second playback process to be performed by the second terminal based on the audio type of the first audio and the audio type of the second audio includes:

[0113] If both the first and second audio files are multimedia audio files, then the playback task is to play the second audio file.

[0114] Based on the playback task, the first playback process is to stop playing the first audio, and the second playback process is to play the second audio through the headphones.

[0115] If both the first and second audio are multimedia audio, meaning the user actively triggers the playback of multimedia audio on the second terminal, and the second audio is the audio task triggered later, it is assumed that the user wants to completely switch to the second terminal for playback. Therefore, the playback of the first audio will be stopped. Thus, the playback task to be performed by the headphones is to play the second audio, the first playback process to be performed by the first terminal is to stop the first audio, and the second playback process to be performed by the second terminal is to play the second audio through the headphones.

[0116] In one embodiment, determining the playback task to be performed by the headphone body, the first playback process to be performed by the first terminal, and the second playback process to be performed by the second terminal based on the audio type of the first audio and the audio type of the second audio includes:

[0117] If the first audio is multimedia audio and the second audio is multimedia audio, then the playback task is determined to be that the first earphone in the headphone body plays the first audio and the second earphone in the headphone body plays the second audio.

[0118] Based on the playback task, the first playback process is determined to maintain the playback of the first audio through the first earphone, and the second playback process is to play the second audio through the second earphone.

[0119] If both the first and second audio are multimedia audio, meaning the user actively triggers the playback of multimedia audio on the second terminal, it is assumed that the user wants to play both the first and second audio simultaneously. Therefore, the two earpieces of the headset can play the first and second audio respectively. That is, the playback task is that the first earpiece in the headset plays the first audio, and the second earpiece in the headset plays the second audio. The first terminal communicates with the first earpiece to maintain the playback of the first audio, while the second terminal transmits the audio to the second earpiece for playback.

[0120] In one embodiment, determining the playback task to be performed by the headphone body, the first playback process to be performed by the first terminal, and the second playback process to be performed by the second terminal based on the audio type of the first audio and the audio type of the second audio includes:

[0121] If both the first and second audio files are multimedia audio files, then the playback task is to play both the first and second audio files simultaneously.

[0122] Based on the playback task, the first playback process is determined to maintain the playback of the first audio through the headphones themselves, and the second playback process is to play the second audio through the headphones themselves.

[0123] If both the first and second audio are multimedia audio, meaning the user actively triggers the playback of multimedia audio on the second terminal, it is assumed that the user wants to play both the first and second audio simultaneously. Therefore, the first and second audio can be played simultaneously through the headphones. The playback task is to play both the first and second audio simultaneously. The first playback process to be performed by the first terminal is to maintain the playback of the first audio through the headphones, and the second playback process to be performed by the second terminal is to play the second audio through the headphones.

[0124] To minimize interference between the first and second audio audio when played simultaneously, in one embodiment, the second playback process involves playing the second audio at a volume lower than the volume of the first audio. That is, by adjusting the volumes of the first and second audio to different levels, the first audio, which is triggered first, is played more clearly. In another embodiment, the first playback process can be to play the first audio at a volume lower than the volume of the second audio. That is, by adjusting the volumes of the first and second audio to different levels, the second audio, which is triggered later, is played more clearly.

[0125] like Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, determining the playback task to be performed by the headphone body, the first playback process to be performed by the first terminal, and the second playback process to be performed by the second terminal based on the audio type of the first audio and the audio type of the second audio includes:

[0126] Step S401: If the first audio is multimedia audio and the second audio is multimedia audio, then generate and display a second selection operation prompt.

[0127] The second selection prompt indicates to the user that there are two multimedia audio options available, allowing the user to choose which one to play through the earbuds. The display refers to showing the second selection prompt on the charging case or other terminal connected to the earbuds, enabling the user to make the selection.

[0128] Step S402: In response to the second operation instruction entered by the user according to the second selection operation prompt, determine that the playback task is to play the multimedia audio corresponding to the second operation instruction.

[0129] The second operation instruction is the user's input through the terminal that displays the second selection operation prompt, indicating which multimedia audio should be played through the headphones. Therefore, the playback task at this time plays the multimedia audio selected by the user according to the second operation instruction.

[0130] In step S403, if the second operation instruction is to select to play the first audio, then the first playback process is to maintain the playback state, and the second playback process is to stop the second audio.

[0131] In this embodiment, the second audio is a multimedia audio triggered later. Therefore, if the second operation instruction points to the first audio, the original playback state of the first audio is maintained and the headphone body continues to play it. The second audio needs to be stopped. Therefore, the first playback process executed by the first terminal is to maintain the original playback state, and the second playback process executed by the second terminal is to stop the second audio.

[0132] In step S404, if the second operation instruction is to select to play the second audio, then the first playback process is to stop the first audio, and the second playback process is to play the second audio through the headphones.

[0133] In this embodiment, the second audio is a multimedia audio triggered later. Therefore, if the second operation instruction points to the second audio, the first audio needs to be stopped, and the second audio needs to be played through the earphone. Thus, the first playback process executed by the first terminal is to stop the first audio, and the second playback process executed by the second terminal is to play the second audio through the earphone.

[0134] In this embodiment, the second audio is a multimedia audio triggered later. Therefore, if the second operation instruction points to the first audio, the original playback state of the first audio is maintained and the headphone body continues to play it. The second audio needs to be stopped. Therefore, the first playback process executed by the first terminal is to maintain the original playback state, and the second playback process executed by the second terminal is to stop the second audio.

[0135] In one embodiment, determining the playback task to be performed by the headphone body, the first playback process to be performed by the first terminal, and the second playback process to be performed by the second terminal based on the audio type of the first audio and the audio type of the second audio includes:

[0136] If the first audio is multimedia audio and the second audio is call audio, then the playback task is to play the second audio and continue playing the first audio after the second audio stops playing;

[0137] Based on the playback task, the first playback process is to pause the playback of the first audio until the second audio stops playing, and then resume playback of the first audio. The second playback process is to play the second audio through the headphones.

[0138] Because call audio requires timely response, when the first audio trigger is multimedia audio and the second audio triggers is call audio, the multimedia audio needs to be interrupted. However, this is not because the user actively stops the first audio; therefore, the playback state of the multimedia audio at the time of interruption needs to be maintained, and resumed after the second audio finishes playing. That is, the headset's playback task is to play the second audio and then resume playing the first audio after the second audio stops. The first playback process performed by the first terminal is to pause the first audio playback until the second audio stops, and then resume playback of the first audio. Resuming playback means returning to the original playback state before pausing. The second playback process performed by the second terminal is to play the second audio through the headset.

[0139] In one embodiment, determining the audio type of the second audio includes:

[0140] Obtain the playback status parameters of the second terminal fed back by the headphones themselves.

[0141] The earphone itself is used to send the playback status parameters of the second terminal to the charging case when the playback status parameters of the second terminal change.

[0142] If the second terminal is determined to be playing the second audio based on the current playback status parameters and the playback status parameters at the previous time of change, then the audio type of the second audio is determined based on the current playback status parameters.

[0143] The playback status parameters of audio are different when it is playing and when it is not playing. Therefore, by comparing the playback status parameters of the second terminal at the moment of the change with the playback status parameters at the moment of the last change, it can be determined whether the second terminal is currently playing the second audio or not playing it. Furthermore, the playback status parameters may also differ when playing different types of audio. If it is playing the second audio, the audio type of the currently playing audio can be determined by the playback status parameters and the duration of its state.

[0144] The playback status parameters include parameters for determining the multimedia audio playback status and type, as well as parameters for determining whether the device is in a call. When making this determination, the charging case first uses the parameters for determining whether the device is in a call to determine if it is. If it is not in a call, it then uses the parameters for determining the multimedia audio playback status and type to determine the device's multimedia audio playback status and type. For example, the playback status parameters may include an a2dp status parameter and an avarcp status parameter. When the second terminal is playing multimedia audio, both the a2dp and avarcp status parameters are true; when playing a prompt tone audio, both the a2dp and avarcp status parameters are true. This allows the second terminal to directly distinguish between multimedia audio and non-multimedia audio through the playback status parameters. In another embodiment, the playback status parameters of the second terminal when playing multimedia audio are the same as those when playing non-multimedia audio. In this case, the determination needs to consider the duration of the current playback status parameter.

[0145] In one embodiment, the playback status parameters may further include HSP status parameters and HFP status parameters. The presence or absence of call audio can be determined based on the HSP and HFP status parameters. Specifically, if at least one of the HSP and HFP status parameters is true, it can be determined that the terminal is currently in a call state and is playing call audio.

[0146] In some embodiments, the terminal generates call status information when it is in a call state. When the charging case recognizes the call status information, it can determine that the terminal is currently in a call state and is playing call audio.

[0147] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, if it is determined that the second terminal is currently playing the second audio based on the current playback state parameters and the playback state parameters at the previous time of change, then determining the audio type of the second audio based on the current playback state parameters includes:

[0148] Step S501: If the audio type of the second audio is determined to be non-call audio based on the current playback status parameters, then monitor the duration of the playback status parameters of the second terminal in the current state.

[0149] The duration of the duration refers to the time the audio remains under the current playback status parameters. Non-call audio includes audio other than call audio, which can be either multimedia audio or non-multimedia audio.

[0150] Step S502: Compare whether the maintenance time is lower than a preset time threshold.

[0151] Step S503: If the duration is lower than a preset time threshold, the audio type of the second audio is determined to be non-multimedia audio.

[0152] If the duration reaches the preset time threshold, the monitoring can be stopped, and it is directly considered that the duration is not less than the time threshold; if the playback status parameters have changed before the duration reaches the time threshold, it is considered that the duration is less than the time threshold.

[0153] Step S504: If the duration is not less than the time threshold, then the audio type of the second audio is determined to be multimedia audio.

[0154] Since non-multimedia audio has a shorter playback duration, its playback status parameters change after playback ends. Therefore, if the duration is less than the time threshold, the second audio is determined to be a prompt audio. Multimedia audio, on the other hand, usually has a longer playback duration than non-multimedia audio. Therefore, if the playback status parameters do not change when the duration reaches the time threshold, the second audio can be determined to be multimedia audio.

[0155] In one embodiment, when the audio type of the second audio is determined to be non-call audio based on the current playback status parameters, it is initially processed as non-multimedia audio. When the duration reaches a time threshold, it is then processed as multimedia audio.

[0156] In one embodiment, the playback state parameters include a first state parameter and a second state parameter. Determining that the second terminal is currently playing the second audio based on the current playback state parameters and the playback state parameters at the previous time of change includes:

[0157] If the first state parameter of the second terminal fed back by the earphone body changes compared with the previous change time, and the second state parameter of the second terminal does not change after a preset delay time, then the second terminal is determined to be in the state of playing the second audio based on the latest playback state parameter of the second terminal and the playback state parameter at the previous change time.

[0158] If only the first state parameter of the second terminal changes compared to the previous change time in the playback state parameters fed back by the earphone body, and the second state parameter of the second terminal changes compared to the previous change time within a preset delay time, then the second terminal is currently in the state of playing the second audio based on the playback state parameters of the second terminal fed back by the earphone body within the delay time and the playback state parameters at the previous change time.

[0159] When the audio playback status needs to be determined by both the first and second state parameters, there may be a delay in the changes of the first and second state parameters. If the audio playback status is determined immediately when only one of the state parameters changes, misjudgment will occur. Therefore, when one of the state parameters changes, the determination can be temporarily suspended and performed after a preset delay time.

[0160] In some embodiments, the first state parameter can be the AVRCP state parameter, and the second state parameter can be the A2DP state parameter. For some smart terminals, the change of the A2DP state parameter may be delayed, while the change of the AVRCP state parameter is real-time. If the second audio playback status and audio type are judged directly at the moment the AVRCP state parameter changes, misjudgment may occur. In this embodiment, if only the AVRCP state parameter changes compared to the previous change moment in the playback status parameters of the second terminal fed back by the earphone, no judgment is made first, and a judgment is made after a preset delay time. If no feedback is received from the earphone due to the change of the A2DP state parameter after the delay time, the judgment is made based on the most recently received playback status parameter, and the corresponding operation after the judgment is executed. If, within the delay time, for example, the delay time is 30ms, and after 10ms, the playback status parameter is fed back from the earphone due to the change of the A2DP state parameter, the judgment is made based on the playback status parameter fed back when the A2DP state parameter changed, and the corresponding operation after the judgment is executed.

[0161] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0162] If any device wirelessly connected to the earphone is in Do Not Disturb mode, the earphone will be controlled to prevent all audio from playing.

[0163] In this embodiment, if any terminal wirelessly connected to the earphone is in Do Not Disturb mode, i.e., the user wants to mute all audio, the charging case will control the earphone to mute playback regardless of which terminal triggers the audio task.

[0164] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows.
