[0002] With the popularity of smart devices, people are increasingly using various audio output devices, such as headphones, speakers, Bluetooth speakers, etc. However, the existing audio output device switching method usually requires manual operation by the user, which is not only cumbersome but may also cause inconvenience in some cases (such as emergency calls). Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new audio output switching method, a method for feedback of headphone wearing status, a device and a headphone to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem solved by the present invention is to provide a more intelligent audio output switching method, headphone wearing status feedback method, device and headphone, which realizes real-time monitoring of the headphone wearing status, improves the user experience, and can automatically switch the audio output according to the headphone wearing status without manual operation by the user.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the audio output switching method provided by the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0005] S1. Multiple audio output modules are set in the headset to provide different audio output paths for the headset users:

[0006] (1) Set up the audio source device: Install the corresponding audio management software on the audio source device;

[0007] (2) Open the audio management system on the headset: manage multiple audio output channels of the headset through the application;

[0008] (3) Configure audio output channels: In the headphone application, set different audio sources to different output channels. For example, you can send game audio to one channel and music audio to another channel.

[0009] S2. Monitor the wearing status of the headset user in real time through the sensor to determine whether the headset user is wearing the headset;

[0010] (1) Sensor deployment: Integrate appropriate sensors on the earphones, which can detect whether the earphones are worn on the ears and the wearing status and position;

[0011] (2) Data analysis algorithm: Analyze sensor data based on algorithms to determine whether the headphones are worn. Machine learning technology can also be used to improve the accuracy of judgment by learning data patterns when the headphones are normally worn and when they are not worn.

[0012] (3) Status monitoring: collect sensor data in real time and use algorithms to determine the status of the headset. If the sensor detects that the headset is moving or has other abnormal behavior, the algorithm can determine that the headset may not be worn correctly;

[0013] (4) Feedback and reminders: When the system determines that the earphones are not being worn, it can send a reminder tone through the earphones' built-in speakers, or link with the mobile phone APP via Bluetooth to remind the user to wear the earphones;

[0014] (5) User settings: Users can adjust the monitoring sensitivity and whether to automatically pause audio playback under certain circumstances as needed;

[0015] S3. Switch the audio output module according to the wearing status and user needs to switch the audio between different output paths:

[0016] (1) Sensor data collection: The built-in sensors of the headset continuously monitor the status of the headset, including whether it is worn and the wearing position. At the same time, the microphone device monitors the ambient sound to determine whether the user is on a call or needs ambient sound mode;

[0017] (2) User demand identification: Identify user needs through user behavior or voice commands. For example, users can switch audio output through voice assistants, or switch automatically in specific scenarios. At the same time, the integrated software inside the headset will analyze these needs and decide to switch the corresponding audio output module.

[0018] (3) Audio output module configuration: The headset has multiple built-in audio output modules, including but not limited to built-in speakers, external headphone jacks, and Bluetooth modules. Based on these audio output modules, the user needs, sensor data, and headset software determine which module to switch the audio output to;

[0019] (4) Switching audio output: Once the output module is determined, the headset software will adjust the path of the audio signal and output the sound to the corresponding module. For example, when the user puts on the headset and starts a call, the software will automatically output the audio to the built-in speaker;

[0020] (5) Feedback and confirmation: The headset confirms to the user that the audio output has been switched through tactile feedback or sound prompts. The user can also manually check the audio output status through the headset or the accompanying application;

[0021] (6) Continuous monitoring: During use, the headphones continuously monitor sensor data and user behavior to adjust audio output at any time.

[0022] As a further solution of the present invention, the audio source device includes a smart phone or a computer, and the sensor includes but is not limited to an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a pressure sensor or a proximity sensor.

[0026] Step 2: Integrate the sensor into the headset to ensure that the sensor can accurately detect the position and movement of the headset;

[0027] Step 3: Collect data based on sensors, and then perform real-time data processing through the built-in microprocessor of the headset, such as analyzing the sensor readings by a data processing algorithm to determine the wearing status and position of the headset;

[0028] Step 4: Analyze sensor data based on data processing algorithms. For example, using accelerometer data, the algorithm can detect whether the headset is moving and determine whether it is being worn.

[0029] As a further solution of the present invention, the sensor needs to be arranged at a key position of the earphone so that it can most accurately detect the movement and wearing status of the earphone.

[0030] As a further solution of the present invention, the data processing algorithm can improve the accuracy of judging whether the headphones are normally worn or not worn through machine learning.

[0031] The present invention also provides an audio output switching device, comprising a monitoring module and a switching control module, wherein the monitoring module is used to monitor the wearing state of the earphone.
