[0042] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] The terms "first" and "second" and the like in this application are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but includes steps or units that are not listed.

[0044] See also Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 The electronic device shown includes its main functional components, and can also be used in Figure 1 Other common functional components are added to the electronic device shown in FIG. Figure 1 In the electronic device shown, the electronic device includes a processing module 10, a central processing unit 11 and a target input interface 12. The processing module 10 can process multimedia signals received by the electronic device, such as the processing module 10 can process audio input signals or image input signals received by the electronic device. When the processing module is applied to process audio input signals, the processing module can be a scalar processor (expressed as scalar), and specifically the processing module can have an audio codec function, and can also process the audio input signal to be processed into a scalar value of audio data, such as processing the audio input signal into an audio scalar signal corresponding to a volume scalar value, a tone scalar value or a sound effect scalar value.

[0045] The processing module 10 can be connected to the central processor 11 in the electronic device by signal connection, so that the processing module can receive the audio signal transmitted by the central processor and process the audio signal. Correspondingly, the processing module 10 can also be connected to the target input interface 12, which is used to access an external device, so that the processing module can receive the audio signal transmitted by the external device and process the audio signal. The electronic device has a first use mode and a second use mode, and the signal source of the audio input signal of the electronic device in different use modes is different. In different use modes of the electronic device, the path conducted by the processing module is also different, so that the audio input signals of different use modes can be processed based on the same processing module, and there is no need to set a corresponding processing module for each use mode, thereby reducing the configuration cost of the functional components of the electronic device, and making the processing process of the audio signals of different use modes more concise. For example, in an application scenario, the central processor of the electronic device can be set in the host, the processing module can be set on the display module, and the corresponding target input interface can also be set on the display module.

[0046] When the electronic device is in the first use mode, the processing module controls the first path between the processing module and the central processing unit to be connected, so that the processing module processes the first audio input signal input by the central processing unit through the first path to obtain a first audio output signal. If the electronic device is in the form of a computer, the electronic device may include a host, the central processing unit may be set in the host, and the processing module may be set in the display module of the electronic device, such as setting the processing module in the display screen of the computer. The first path is the path between the processing module and the central processing unit. Specifically, the processing module can be connected to the central processing unit by wired connection. Correspondingly, if both the processing module and the central processing unit include wireless modules, the processing module and the central processing unit can also be connected by wireless connection. When the processing module controls the first path to be connected, the processing module can receive the first audio input signal input by the central processing unit through the first path, and process the first audio input signal to obtain a first audio output signal.

[0047] When the electronic device is in the second usage mode, the processing module is connected to the external device through the target input interface, and the processing module controls the second path connected to the target input interface, so that the processing module can receive the second audio input signal transmitted by the external device through the second path, and process the second audio input signal to obtain a second audio output signal.

[0048] When the electronic device is in the second usage mode, the central processor can determine the corresponding working state based on the current application scenario of the electronic device. That is, when the electronic device is in the second usage mode, the central processor can be in a working state or a non-working state. For example, when the electronic device is in the second usage mode, the central processor may not transmit signals with the processing module of the electronic device, but the central processor can continue to execute its corresponding task flow. Specifically, the central processor can continue to execute the download task and download the corresponding data to the storage area of ​​the central processor. In another scenario, if the central processor is set in the host of the electronic device, the host also includes other functional modules, such as a power supply module. Even if the electronic device is in the second usage mode, the central processor can be controlled to be in a working state, so that the central processor monitors the working state of the power supply module, so that the power supply module supplies power to the display module of the electronic device, and ensures that the display module can output the display signal corresponding to the electronic device in the second usage mode. Correspondingly, when the electronic device is in the second working mode, in order to reduce the energy consumption of the electronic device, the central processor can also be in a non-working state, and the task currently executed by the central processor of the electronic device can be temporarily cached. When the electronic device is in the first working mode, the central processor is controlled to be in a working state and continue to execute the corresponding task. In order to improve the battery life of the electronic device, even if the electronic device is in the first use mode, when it is detected that there is no signal transmission between the central processor and the processing module, the central processor can be controlled to be in a non-working state, that is, enter a dormant state, so as to reduce the power consumption of the electronic device. Correspondingly, after the target input interface of the electronic device is connected to an external device, when no signal transmission is detected between the external device and the processing module, the central processor of the electronic device can also be controlled to be in a non-working state. After the processor detects the corresponding signal input, it determines the source of the signal and can control the corresponding component to enter the corresponding working state to ensure the normal processing of the signal and reduce the power consumption of the electronic device.

[0049] Specifically, the audio input signal corresponding to the use mode can be determined according to the current use mode of the electronic device, so that the processing module controls the corresponding connection path to be turned on, and then the audio input signal in the use mode is processed by the processing module to obtain the audio output signal, and the audio output signal can be further output by the audio output module corresponding to the current use mode. When the electronic device is in the first use mode, the first audio input signal can come from the functional module of the electronic device itself, such as the first audio input signal can come from the central processing unit of the electronic device host. When the electronic device is in the second use mode, the second audio input signal can come from the target device that is connected to the electronic device by signal. Taking the electronic device as an all-in-one computer as an example, the first use mode can be PC mode, which can also be called computer mode. In this mode, the display screen of the all-in-one computer will display the operating system interface of the all-in-one computer itself, and the audio input signal in the all-in-one computer is the first audio input signal generated by the central processing unit of the all-in-one computer host. Specifically, the first audio input signal can be the system audio input signal of the all-in-one computer operating system, or it can be the audio input signal generated by the application installed by the host, such as the first audio input signal is the audio signal to be played by the audio player in the all-in-one computer. The second usage mode can be a display mode (also called Monitor mode). At this time, the all-in-one computer can be connected to other electronic devices, such as a game console, a laptop computer, a projection control device, a controller, etc. The all-in-one computer serves as a display in the second usage mode, and is used to output a display screen controlled by an electronic device connected to it by signal, etc., and the second audio input signal to be processed received at this time is also an audio signal generated by the electronic device connected to it.

[0050] In order to facilitate the processing of audio input signals from different sources, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device is configured with a processing module that can be used in common by the first use mode and the second use mode, that is, the processing mode needs to be set on the common module of the electronic device in the first use mode and the second use mode. Still taking the above-mentioned first use mode as PC mode and the second use mode as Monitor mode as an example, the PC mode and the Monitor mode will share the display of the electronic device, therefore, the processing module for processing the audio signal can be set on the display, so that when there is an audio input signal that needs to be processed, the processing module can be controlled to process the audio input signal, without adding corresponding processing modules for different use modes, and without processing the audio input signal through different control methods or application modes, which improves the convenience and processing efficiency of audio input signal processing, and can also reduce the configuration cost of the functional modules of the device.

[0051] After the processing module processes the audio input signal for different usage modes, the processed audio output signal can be output to the audio output module of the electronic device, so that the audio output module outputs the corresponding audio output signal. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device also includes an audio output module, which can be an audio output module configured on the electronic device itself, such as a speaker module set on the display screen frame or the electronic device host, or an external audio output module connected through the audio output interface of the electronic device. At this time, the audio output module can include wired or wireless headphones, speakers, etc. The audio signal formats received by different audio output modules may be different. Therefore, when the processing module processes the audio input signal, the audio processing parameters can be determined according to the audio output parameters of the audio output module, and the audio processing parameters at least include audio codec parameters, audio format conversion parameters, and sound effect parameters. Thereby, the audio output signal processed by the processing module can be output by the audio output module with a better audio output effect. Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, the processing module is used to determine the audio processing parameters based on the audio output parameters corresponding to the audio output module, and process the first audio signal based on the audio processing parameters to obtain the second audio output signal; or, the processing module processes the second audio input signal based on the audio processing parameters to obtain the second audio output signal. The audio output module is used to output the first audio output signal or the second audio output signal, and the output effects of the first audio output signal and the second audio output signal are the same. In an embodiment of the present application, if the first use mode and the second use mode use the same audio output module for audio output, even if the signal format of the audio input signal obtained by the processing module in the first use mode and the second use mode is different, the processing of different audio signals in different use modes can be achieved, and in the processing process, the processing is based on the audio processing parameters corresponding to the audio output parameters of the audio output module, so as to achieve the same audio output effect in different use modes, thereby improving the accuracy and convenience of audio processing.

[0052] Further, in order to improve the processing efficiency of the processing module, the audio processing parameters processed by the processing module for the audio input signal can also be stored in the corresponding storage area to realize the reuse of the audio processing parameters. In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device also includes a storage module, which is used to store the audio processing parameters. The storage module is connected to the central processing unit signal and / or the storage module is connected to the processing module signal. Specifically, the storage module can be set in the module of the electronic device that can be accessed by the central processing unit and the processing module. For example, the storage module can be set in the display module of the electronic device, so that the processing module and the central processing unit can be connected to the storage module in the display module by signal, and the processing module can perform audio signal processing based on the audio processing parameters in the storage module. The central processing unit can also obtain the audio processing parameters, and when transmitting the audio signal to be processed, the audio processing parameters can also be sent to the corresponding processing end (such as being sent to the cloud server to obtain the corresponding audio data processing and analysis results) at the same time. Correspondingly, the storage module can also be set only in the module of the electronic device that is connected to the processing module by signal, such as the storage module can be directly set in the processing module. The storage module can also be set only in the module of the electronic device that is connected to the central processor for signal connection, such as directly setting the storage module in the central processor, or setting the storage module in the host where the central processor is located, etc. Specifically, the storage module can be set according to the actual application scenario of the electronic device. For example, the storage module can be set in the processing module, so that even when the electronic device is in the second use mode, when different external devices are connected through the target input interface, the audio input signals input by different external devices can be processed based on the pre-stored audio processing parameters to obtain the same audio output signal. Correspondingly, the storage module can also be set in the host, so that even if the host is connected to different displays, the processing module in the display can call the audio processing parameters previously stored in the host, and use the audio processing parameters to process the audio input signal to obtain the audio output signal, thereby realizing that the audio processing parameters can be directly reused after the display is replaced, and the processing efficiency and accuracy of the processing module for audio signals are improved.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the processing module can be arranged in the display module of the electronic device, and the display area of ​​the display module can display the display screen in the corresponding use mode. Among them, the display area of ​​the display module can refer to the actual physical display screen of the display module, or it can be a spatial display area projected by space. Specifically, the display module is used to display the first display signal corresponding to the first audio output signal when the electronic device is in the first use mode. Or the display module is used to display the second display signal corresponding to the second audio output signal when the electronic device is in the second display mode. Among them, in this embodiment, the first use mode and the second use mode exist separately, that is, the use mode of the current electronic device is only the first use mode, or only the second use mode. The first display signal corresponding to the first audio output signal can be determined according to the application program of the source of the first audio output signal, such as the first audio output signal comes from a video player, and the corresponding first display signal can be a video signal. It can also be determined according to the default setting to determine the first display signal corresponding to the first audio output signal, such as setting the first display signal corresponding to the first use mode to a fixed display atlas by default, that is, no matter how the first audio output signal changes, the display module displays the display atlas. The first display signal may also be determined based on the signal characteristics of the first audio output signal. For example, if the first audio output signal comes from an application, the first display signal is a signal for displaying an image of the application; if the first audio output signal comes from an application without a real-time image, the first display signal may be a pre-set image or a desktop of the first usage mode, etc. Correspondingly, the process of determining the second display signal corresponding to the second audio output signal is similar to the process of determining the first display signal described above, and will not be described in detail here. In this way, when the corresponding audio output signal is output in different usage modes, the display module can display the corresponding display signal, thereby improving the user experience.

[0054] Correspondingly, if the display module can realize multi-area display, such as the physical display can realize split-screen display by screen division, or the display module can display different contents by projecting different display areas in space, etc. The display signals corresponding to different usage modes can be displayed through different display areas. In this embodiment, the electronic device can be in the third usage mode, that is, the processing module controls the first path and the second path to be turned on at the same time, and can simultaneously receive the first audio input signal and the second audio input signal, so that the processing module can simultaneously process the first audio input signal and the second audio input signal, and use different display areas of the display module to display the corresponding display signals. In this embodiment, the first usage mode, the second usage mode and the third usage mode are all different, that is, the signal transmission paths of the processing modules corresponding to these three usage modes are different. In the first usage mode, the first path is turned on; in the second usage mode, the second path is turned on; in the third usage mode, the first path and the second path are turned on at the same time. Specifically, the display area of ​​the display module may include a first display area and a second display area. When the electronic device is in the third usage mode, the first display area displays the first display signal, and the second display area displays the second display signal. When the electronic device is in the third use mode, the processing module controls the first channel and the second channel to be turned on at the same time. In the third use mode, the processing module can simultaneously receive the audio input signals to be processed (including the first audio input signal and the second audio input signal) from the central processing unit and the external device, and then process them respectively to obtain the corresponding first audio output signal and the second audio output signal, and can output the first audio output signal and the second audio output signal according to the corresponding output strategy, wherein, if the electronic device has different first audio output modules and second audio output modules that can be applied independently, the first audio output signal can be output to the first audio output module and the second audio output module. If the electronic device has only one set of audio output modules, the corresponding audio output signal can be output according to the priority of the audio output signal, such as only outputting the first audio output signal or only outputting the second audio output signal, or first outputting the first audio output signal and then outputting the second audio signal. The display module can display the first display signal and the second display signal simultaneously by dividing the area, thereby improving the display effect and user experience effect.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, the display module of the electronic device can also be developed and replaced separately, and can be compatible with more sizes (such as 27 / 32, etc.) and forms (such as flat / curved / four-sided narrow / 180Hz high resolution / high refresh rate, etc.). Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present application, each module of the electronic device can be developed separately, so that the electronic device can be configured according to actual application requirements. The processing module of the electronic device can also adjust the signal parameters of the audio signal, which can achieve fine-tuning of the sound quality and improve the processing effect and efficiency of the audio signal. Reduce hardware costs and maintenance costs.

[0056] Further, when the electronic device includes an audio output module and the electronic device is in the third usage mode, the processing module determines the target audio output signal in the first audio output signal and the second audio output signal, and outputs the target audio output signal to the audio output module, so that the audio output module outputs the target audio signal. Specifically, the processing module can determine the target audio output signal in the first audio output signal and the second audio output signal according to the preset audio signal output priority. It is also possible that the processing module determines the target audio output signal according to the signal characteristics of the audio output signal. For example, if the first audio output signal is a voice call signal, the voice call signal will be determined as the target audio output signal to avoid the problem of the user missing a more important voice call. The target audio output signal can also be determined according to the signal output timing, that is, the second audio output signal can be cached first, and the first audio output signal can be output to the audio output module as the target audio output signal, and then, after the first audio output signal is output, the cached second audio output signal can be output to the audio output module as the target audio output signal.

[0057] In another embodiment, the electronic device includes a first audio output module and a second audio output module, and the first audio output module and the second audio output module can be controlled by the processing module separately. When the electronic device is in the third use mode, the processing module is used to output the first audio output signal to the first audio output module so that the first audio output module outputs the first audio output signal. The processing module is also used to output the second audio output signal to the second audio output module so that the second audio output module outputs the second audio output signal. In this embodiment, when the electronic device includes at least two audio output modules, each audio output module can output different audio output signals respectively. For example, the electronic device includes a speaker of the device itself, and it is detected that the electronic device is also connected to a headphone device, so that the speaker can output the first audio output signal processed by the central processor of the machine, and output the second audio output signal processed by the audio signal input by the external device through the headphone device. Furthermore, in order to enable the user to obtain the corresponding audio output signal in a timely manner, a prompt audio corresponding to the second audio output signal can be output before the speaker outputs the first audio output signal, such as "the second audio output signal will be output at the headphone end", etc., so that the user can obtain the corresponding audio signal in a timely manner, and further select the audio signal to be received, thereby improving the user experience.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to facilitate the combination of different device forms and the reuse of different functional modules of the device. The electronic device also includes a display module, a pluggable connector and a host, and the display module and the host can be connected through a pluggable connector. Among them, the insertion end of the pluggable connector can be set on the display module, and the access end of the pluggable connector can be set on the host; correspondingly, the insertion end of the pluggable connector can also be set on the host, and the access end of the pluggable connector can be set on the display module. Among them, the display module can include a display, and can also include a speaker, a camera, a power module, etc. The host can be a host form similar to that in a general-purpose computer, and it can also be a comprehensive base structure with a host function module, as well as a keyboard and mouse input module, a handwriting board, a speaker, a microphone and other functional modules. The processing module can determine the current use state of the electronic device by detecting the state of the pluggable connector. If the processing module is used to detect that the display module is connected to the host through the pluggable connector, it will recognize that the electronic device is in the first use mode and control the first path between the central processor to be connected. Furthermore, when controlling the conduction of the first path, it is also possible to verify whether the target access interface of the processing module is connected to an external device. If an external device is connected and the external device has an audio input signal transmitted to the processing module, the conduction of the second path will be controlled. By adopting a pluggable connection structure to connect the display module and the host, it is convenient to use the display module and the host separately, and to switch the combined use mode, and at the same time, it is also possible to realize the reuse of different functional modules. For example, the host includes not only a central processing unit but also a keyboard and mouse input component. When the display module is connected to the host through a pluggable connector, the audio input signal is not processed by the central processing unit, but the audio input signal in the second use mode is processed, but the keyboard and mouse input component in the host is used to realize the touch operation of the pause and volume functions of the audio signal output, which is convenient for the user.

[0059] See also Figure 2, is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present application, in which the electronic device includes a display screen 201 and a host 202, a first audio output module 203 is arranged on the display screen, and a second audio output module 204 is arranged on the host. When the electronic device is in the third use mode, the processing module simultaneously conducts the first path and the second path, and the display screen 201 is divided into two display areas, and the first display area displays the first display signal, such as the first display signal is derived from the central processing unit of the host, and the first display signal is related to the first audio input signal input by the central processing unit, such as the first display area displays the image screen corresponding to the first audio input signal, and outputs the corresponding first audio output signal through the second audio output module. The second display area displays the second display signal corresponding to the second audio input signal corresponding to the external device. If the second audio input signal is background music, the second display area can display a music icon, etc., and at the same time, the second audio output signal corresponding to the second audio input signal is output through the first audio output module arranged on the display screen. Thus, the purpose of outputting audio and display screen at the same time is achieved, and the user experience effect is improved.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, a control method applied to the above-mentioned electronic device is also provided. The following describes the relevant processes of data processing and signal control of the processing module and other functional modules of the electronic device in the embodiment of the present application in combination with the control method.

[0061] See also Figure 3 , is a flow chart of a control method applied to an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method may include the following steps:

[0062] S301: Acquire a usage mode of an electronic device, and determine an audio input signal corresponding to the usage mode.

[0063] S302: Control the processing module of the electronic device to process the audio input signal to obtain a target output signal.

[0064] The control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can enable the electronic device to process audio input signals in different usage modes based on the same processing module of the electronic device in different usage modes, without the need to configure different processing modules corresponding to each usage mode. This improves the convenience of audio signal processing for the electronic device in different usage modes and reduces the cost of configuring the functional modules of the electronic device.

[0065] The electronic device has a first usage mode and a second usage mode, and the signal source of the audio input signal of the electronic device in different usage modes is different. Specifically, the audio input signal corresponding to the usage mode can be determined according to the current usage mode of the first device, and then the audio input signal is processed by the processing module to obtain the target output signal, and further the target output signal can be output by the audio output module corresponding to the current usage mode. In the case of the first usage mode of the electronic device, the audio input signal can come from the functional module of the electronic device itself, such as the audio input signal can come from the host of the electronic device. In the case of the second usage mode of the electronic device, the audio input signal can come from the target device that is connected to the electronic device by signal. Taking the electronic device as an all-in-one computer as an example, the first usage mode can be PC mode, which can also be called computer mode. In this mode, the display screen of the all-in-one computer will display the operating system interface of the all-in-one computer itself, and the audio input signal in the all-in-one computer is the audio input signal generated by the host of the all-in-one computer. Specifically, the audio input signal can be the system audio input signal of the operating system of the all-in-one computer, or it can be the audio input signal generated by the application installed by the host, such as the audio input signal is the audio signal to be played by the audio player in the all-in-one computer. The second usage mode can be a display mode (also called Monitor mode). At this time, the all-in-one computer can be connected to other electronic devices, such as a game console, a laptop computer, a projection control device, a controller, etc. The all-in-one computer serves as a display in the second usage mode, and is used to output a display screen controlled by an electronic device connected to it by signal, etc., and the audio input signal to be processed received at this time is also an audio signal generated by the electronic device connected to it.

[0066] In order to facilitate the processing of audio input signals from different sources, in the embodiment of the present application, the first device is configured with a processing module that can be shared by the first use mode and the second use mode, that is, the processing mode needs to be set on the common module of the electronic device in the first use mode and the second use mode. Still taking the above-mentioned first use mode as PC mode and the second use mode as Monitor mode as an example, the PC mode and the Monitor mode will share the display of the electronic device, therefore, the processing module for processing the audio signal can be set on the display, so that when there is an audio input signal that needs to be processed, the processing module can be controlled to process the audio input signal, without adding corresponding processing modules for different use modes, and without processing the audio input signal through different control methods or application modes, which improves the convenience and processing efficiency of audio input signal processing, and can also reduce the configuration cost of the functional modules of the device.

[0067] In order to meet different audio signal processing requirements and improve the effect of audio signal output, the processing module can realize the conversion of audio signal format, the processing of audio parameters and audio codec processing, etc. Specifically, the audio processing module supported by the processing module can be selected based on the actual application scenario, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. For example, the processing module can be a scalar processor (scalar), which can have an audio codec function, and can also process the audio input signal to be processed into a scalar value of audio data, such as volume, pitch, sound effect, etc. In this way, the processing requirements of audio signals under different usage modes can be met based on the same processing module, which reduces the configuration cost of the functional modules of the device and improves the convenience of processing.

[0068] A control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is described below in conjunction with a specific application scenario.

[0069] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the target output signal includes a first audio output signal corresponding to the first usage mode and a second audio output signal corresponding to the second usage mode. Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the processing module of the control electronic device processes the audio input signal to obtain the target output signal, including:

[0070] When the electronic device is in the first usage mode, a first audio input signal of the electronic device is determined, and a processing module of the electronic device is controlled to process the first audio input signal to obtain a first audio output signal.

[0071] When the electronic device is in the second usage mode, the second audio input signal of the target device is determined, the processing module of the electronic device is controlled to process the second audio input signal to obtain a second audio output signal, and the target device is signal-connected to the electronic device.

[0072] Specifically, when the electronic device is in the first usage mode, the source of the first audio input signal is the electronic device, such as the central processing unit (CPU) of the electronic device, or the sound card of the electronic device. The first audio input signal can be an audio signal to be output generated by the electronic device itself, such as the prompt sound of the operating system of the electronic device; correspondingly, the first audio input signal can also be an audio signal to be output received by the electronic device, such as an audio signal downloaded from the cloud by the electronic device and needs to be output through the speaker of the electronic device. In the first usage mode, the first audio signal is processed by the processing module to obtain a first audio output signal, wherein the audio processing process executed by the processing module can be determined according to the actual application scenario, such as including any one or more of the signal format processing, decoding processing, and audio parameter processing of the audio input signal.

[0073] When the electronic device is in the second usage mode, the electronic device is connected to the target device by signal. At this time, the audio input signal to be processed is the second audio input signal of the target device, that is, the audio input signal transmitted from the target device to the processing module of the electronic device. The second audio input signal is processed by the processing module, and the processing mode of the processing module is similar to the corresponding processing mode in the first usage mode, which will not be described in detail here. After the second audio input signal is processed by the processing module to obtain the second audio output signal, the second audio output signal can be transmitted to the target device, and the audio output module corresponding to the target device outputs the second audio output signal. It is also possible that after the second audio output signal is obtained, the audio output module of the electronic device outputs the second audio output signal, and the corresponding audio output module can be determined according to the actual application requirements to meet the current application requirements.

[0074] Specifically, the processing module can realize signal format conversion of audio input signals, such as digital-to-analog conversion, and can also include decoding and tuning processing, such as filtering, averaging, adding audio effects, volume control, noise reduction, channel equalization, etc., to achieve an audio processing mode that can provide better results and meet the needs of different application scenarios.

[0075] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present application, controlling a processing module of an electronic device to process a first audio input signal to obtain a first audio output signal includes: controlling a processing module of an electronic device to process a signal parameter of the first audio input signal to obtain a first audio output signal.

[0076] Correspondingly, controlling the processing module of the electronic device to process the second audio input signal to obtain the second audio output signal includes: controlling the processing module of the electronic device to process the signal parameters of the second audio input signal to obtain the second audio output signal.

[0077] When the audio input signal is processed by the processing module, a variety of signal parameters can be adjusted and analyzed to improve the sound quality, achieve specific sound effects or optimize the audio signal. The signal parameters may include at least one of the following: audio special effect parameters of the first audio input signal or the second audio input signal; volume parameters of the first audio input signal or the second audio input signal; channel parameters of the first audio input signal or the second audio input signal; audio noise reduction parameters of the first audio input signal or the second audio input signal. Audio special effect parameters refer to processing parameters used to generate or optimize specific audio effects, which can change the characteristics of the audio signal to adapt to different auditory experiences or application scenarios. Specifically, audio special effect parameters may include reverberation parameters, echo parameters, vibrato parameters, harmony parameters, etc. For example, when the audio special effect parameters are reverberation parameters, the processing module can simulate the reverberation effect of the corresponding space according to the size of the space of the current scene to obtain the corresponding audio output signal. The processing module can control the loudness of the audio input signal through the volume parameter to obtain an audio output signal of the corresponding volume. The channel parameters can be determined based on the characteristics of the output module of the audio to be output. For example, in stereo or multi-channel audio, the relative volume between different channels is adjusted to obtain an audio output signal that matches the corresponding channel. The processing module can adjust the audio noise reduction parameters to reduce the impact of the noise signal in the audio signal on the audio and improve the output effect of the audio signal. It can be understood that the processing module can process any one of the audio special effect parameters, volume parameters, channel parameters and audio noise reduction parameters, and can also process any two or three of them at the same time, and can also process all of the above signal parameters.

[0078] In another implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the processing module can also convert the signal format of the audio signal. Specifically, the processing module of the electronic device is controlled to process the first audio input signal to obtain the first audio output signal, including: the processing module of the electronic device is controlled to convert the first audio input signal from the first signal format to the second signal format to obtain the first audio output signal. Correspondingly, the processing module of the electronic device is controlled to convert the second audio input signal from the first signal format to the second signal format to obtain the second audio output signal. The first signal format is the signal format of the first audio input signal or the second audio input signal, and the second signal format is the signal format of the first audio output signal or the second audio output signal. For example, digital signals are usually easy to transmit and store, so the first signal format corresponding to the audio input signal can be a digital signal. Analog signals are more direct and simple in directly driving audio output modules such as speakers, so the second signal format corresponding to the audio output signal can be an analog signal. In order to facilitate the output of the audio signal, and further play the target output signal through the audio output module, the signal format of the audio input signal can be converted by the processing module so that the audio signal can be output by the current application scenario and application device.

[0079] It is understandable that when the processing module processes the audio input signal, it can convert the signal format of the audio input signal on the basis of processing the signal parameters of the audio input signal, and then output the audio signal, thereby improving the output effect of the audio signal.

[0080] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the processing module of the electronic device can also process the audio input signal received by the audio input module of the electronic device itself. Specifically, the control method also includes: when the electronic device is in the first use mode, determining the third audio input signal of the electronic device, controlling the processing module of the electronic device to convert the third audio input signal from the second signal format to the first signal format, and obtaining a fourth audio input signal. The first signal format is different from the second signal format. The third audio input signal can be an audio signal received by the audio input module of the electronic device. For example, when the first use mode of the electronic device is the PC mode, the third audio input signal can be an audio signal received by the microphone of the electronic device. Usually, the audio signal received by the microphone is in the second signal format (specifically, it can be an analog signal). In order to facilitate the processing of the received third audio input signal, the second signal format of the third audio input signal can be converted into the first signal format by the processing module. If the first signal format is a digital signal, the received analog signal is converted into a digital signal for subsequent processing.

[0081] Further, the control method also includes: in response to obtaining the fourth audio input signal, controlling the processing module of the electronic device or the central processing unit of the electronic device to process the signal parameters of the fourth audio input signal to obtain the target audio input signal. Wherein, the signal parameters include at least one of the following: audio special effect parameters of the fourth audio input signal; volume parameters of the fourth audio input signal; channel parameters of the fourth audio input signal; audio noise reduction parameters of the fourth audio input signal. In this embodiment, when the electronic device is in the first use mode, the processing module can process the third audio input signal received by the electronic device through its own audio input module (such as a microphone) to obtain the fourth audio input signal. In order to make the processing effect of the fourth audio input signal better, so as to facilitate subsequent transmission, output and application. The signal parameters of the fourth audio input signal can also be processed by the processing module, or by the central processing unit (CPU) of the electronic device, or the signal parameters can be processed by the processing module and the central processing unit of the electronic device at the same time, for example, after preliminary processing by the processing module, further processing by the central processing unit is performed to obtain the target audio input signal. Specifically, the signal parameters and the processing process of the signal parameters have been described in the description of processing the signal parameters of the first audio input signal or the second audio input signal in the aforementioned embodiment, and will not be described in detail here. By processing the signal parameters of the fourth audio input signal, the audio effect of the audio input signal can be better to meet the actual application requirements. Furthermore, by using the processing module to process the audio input signal received by the microphone, it is also possible to reduce the number of modules specifically used to process the microphone audio signal, thereby reducing the cost of the equipment.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device has a first usage mode and a second usage mode, and in different usage modes, the signal source of its audio input signal is different. Therefore, in order to facilitate the transmission and application of the processed audio signal, before the audio input signal is processed based on the processing module, it is also necessary to clarify the usage mode of the current electronic device, so that the audio signal can be subsequently transmitted or output based on the audio transmission path corresponding to the usage mode. In one embodiment, the usage mode of the electronic device can be determined by the connection signal of the target input interface of the electronic device. Specifically, obtaining the usage mode of the electronic device includes: obtaining the connection signal of the target input interface of the electronic device, detecting the connection signal; if the connection signal satisfies both the device access signal and the audio access signal, determining that the usage mode of the electronic device is the second usage mode. If the connection signal does not simultaneously satisfy both the device access signal and the audio access signal, determining that the usage mode of the electronic device is the first usage mode.

[0083] The first usage mode is a usage mode in which the electronic device is an independent application device, that is, the first usage mode includes a display and a host, and can also be called an all-in-one mode, i.e., a PC mode. The second usage mode is a usage mode in which the electronic device is used as a display. In the second usage mode, the electronic device is connected to the target device by a signal, and the electronic device can output the signal provided by the target device, such as outputting the audio signal provided by it, and further can display the image signal provided by the target device on the display of the electronic device, etc. The second usage mode can also be called a display mode, i.e., a Monitor mode. Since the second usage mode requires the connection of the target device, the connection signal of the target input interface of the electronic device can be detected, and the target input interface is an interface for the electronic device to connect an external device. If the connection signal of the target input interface includes a device access signal, it means that the target input interface has been connected to an external device. Since there are many external devices connected, for example, a handwriting tablet, a keyboard, a mouse, and a device with multiple functional modules such as a computer can be connected. Therefore, it is also necessary to further identify the connection signal of the electronic device, i.e., to detect whether the connection signal also includes an audio access signal. If the connection signal has both a device access signal and an audio access signal, the usage mode of the electronic device is determined to be the second usage mode. Correspondingly, when the electronic device is in the first usage mode, the connection signal of the target input interface cannot satisfy the requirement of having both the device access signal and the audio access signal, that is, the connection signal of the target input interface obtained contains only the device access signal, but no audio access signal, or contains neither the device access signal nor the audio access signal. In this way, by determining the usage mode of the electronic device, the audio input signal to be processed can be received more accurately, and further, after obtaining the target output signal, the target output signal can be output to the corresponding audio output module according to the usage mode.

[0084] In another embodiment, the usage mode of the electronic device can also be determined according to the state of the target physical key representing the usage mode of the electronic device. The method of obtaining the usage mode of the electronic device includes: detecting and obtaining trigger state information of the target physical key; if the trigger state information satisfies a first trigger condition, determining that the usage mode of the electronic device is the first usage mode; if the trigger state information satisfies a second trigger condition, determining that the usage mode of the electronic device is the second usage mode, and the first trigger condition is different from the second trigger condition.

[0085] When determining the usage mode of an electronic device based on the trigger status information of a target physical key, it is also necessary to determine it according to the current usage mode of the electronic device. The target physical key can be a key on the electronic device that is set on a display, a host, or a keyboard and is independently used for switching the usage mode, or it can be a combination of related keys on the keyboard. If the current electronic device is in the first usage mode, it is detected that the target physical key is triggered, and the second trigger condition for triggering the switch to the second usage mode is met, it is determined that the current electronic device needs to switch to the second usage mode, that is, the usage mode of the electronic device is determined to be the second usage mode. Correspondingly, if the usage mode of the electronic device is the second usage mode, it is detected that the target physical key is triggered, and if the trigger status information meets the first trigger condition for switching to the first usage mode, it switches to the first usage mode, and determines that the usage mode of the electronic device is the first usage mode.

[0086] The control method of the embodiment of the present application is described below with the first use mode of the electronic device being the PC mode and the second use mode being the Monitor mode. The PC mode is an all-in-one mode, that is, the electronic device is an independently functioning device. The Monitor mode is a display mode, that is, the electronic device is used as a display of an external target device.

[0087] See also Figure 4 , is a schematic diagram of an audio signal processing module for different usage modes as a solution. Figure 4 In the PC mode shown, the audio output path includes the central processor of the electronic device (in Figure 4 The audio signal sent by the CPU is used as the audio input signal to be processed. For example, the audio signal may be HAD (High Definition Audio). Then, the audio signal (in Figure 4 HAD in the codec chip (in Figure 4 The decoded audio signal can also be converted through the analog-to-digital conversion (DAC) module, that is, the digital signal is converted into an analog audio signal. Then it is output through audio output modules, such as speakers (SPK) and headphones (Headphones). The corresponding audio input path includes: the microphone (MIC) device converts the analog signal into a digital signal through the digital-to-analog conversion (ADC), and then encodes it through the codec chip, and then the central processing unit CPU performs calculations to obtain the target audio input signal. Among them, the microphone device can be AMIC (analog microphone) and DMIC (digital microphone). In Figure 4The corresponding audio output path of the electronic device shown in the monitor mode is to receive the audio signal or the audio and video signal through the external interface, and then pass the scalar processor (in Figure 4 The audio signal is decoded by the DAC (denoted by Scalar), and the digital signal is converted into an analog audio signal through the digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and then output by the microphone SPK. In Monitor mode, the external interface for connecting external devices can be HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), DP (DisplayPort), Type C interface, etc. The Type C interface is a physical interface shape standard that can support multiple protocols, including DP and USB (Universal Serial Bus).

[0088] It can be seen that in the audio design architecture of a solution, the electronic device is controlled by an audio codec chip and a scalar processor, that is, in PC mode, the audio output is controlled by the audio codec chip in the motherboard, and in Monitor mode, the audio output is controlled by the scalar processor in the motherboard. Therefore, two independent audio control processes are configured, which require corresponding drivers or applications to support, increasing the cost of the device and the complexity of control, and reducing the efficiency of audio processing.

[0089] See also Figure 5 , is a schematic diagram of an audio signal processing provided by an embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, both the PC mode and the Monitor mode are processed by the processing module to complete the input and output of the audio signal, that is, whether it is the internal audio signal generated by the central processing unit CPU or the external audio signal generated by the connected external device, it is processed by Figure 5 The processing module Scalar in the audio processing. This processing module is a scalar controller. Figure 5 In Scalar. Figure 5 The audio output path includes an audio signal received by the central processing unit (CPU) of the electronic device or the external interface of the display, connected to a scalar processor (Scalar) for decoding, and then the audio signal is converted into an analog audio signal through a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and output by the speaker SPK, wherein the external interface includes HDMI, DP, Type C interface, etc., which is not limited in this application. Figure 5The processing process of the audio input path shown includes that the microphone MIC device of the electronic device converts the analog audio signal into a digital signal through ADC (analog-to-digital conversion), encodes it through a scalar processor (Scalar), and the central processing unit can perform further audio signal processing, such as processing the signal parameters of the audio signal to improve the quality of the audio signal. Among them, if the microphone is a digital microphone DMIC, it can receive a digital signal, and the central processing unit CPU can directly process the audio signal.

[0090] It can be seen that in Figure 5 In the processing flow provided by the embodiment of the present application shown, the processing module, namely the scalar processor (Scalar), can be set in the display. Regardless of whether it is PC mode or Monitor mode, the processing module can process the audio input signals generated by these two modes to obtain the target output signals. There is no need to additionally match the processing modules corresponding to each usage mode, and the control process is also simpler, which reduces the configuration cost of the equipment and improves the convenience and efficiency of audio processing.
