[0103] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0104] The present disclosure provides a communication method. Figure 1 A communication method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, the communication method includes:

[0105] Step S101, in response to at least two call requests in the same call period, determining whether the terminal has established at least two audio transmission paths; wherein the at least two audio transmission paths correspond to different audio transmission devices;

[0106] Step S102, if the terminal has established the at least two audio transmission paths, associating the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests with the at least two audio transmission paths respectively; wherein the voice data packets corresponding to different call requests are associated with different audio transmission paths;

[0107] Step S103: using the at least two audio transmission paths to respectively output voice data packets associated with the audio transmission paths.

[0108] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the communication method may be a communication method performed by a called terminal device and at least two calling terminal devices to simultaneously establish at least two call connections. The terminal device may be an electronic device that supports communication based on at least two SIM cards, such as a smart phone, a smart watch, or a tablet computer, and is not specifically limited to this.

[0109] In step S101, in response to at least two call requests initiated by at least two opposite-end devices (calling terminal devices) to a terminal device within the same call period, the terminal device may determine whether at least two audio transmission paths have been established.

[0110] The same call period may include the moment when at least two opposite-end devices simultaneously send call requests, or may include a preset period of time, such as one minute, five minutes, etc. Within the preset period of time, the at least two opposite-end devices successively send call requests, so that among all the call time periods between the at least two opposite-end devices and the terminal device, at least part of the call time periods are when the at least two opposite-end devices both talk to the terminal device.

[0111] The audio transmission path may be a transmission channel and line for voice data packets.

[0112] Usually, the terminal device is provided with only one audio transmission path, for example, a transmission path for voice data packets corresponding to a microphone or a receiver in the terminal device. Then, when the terminal device determines whether at least two audio transmission paths have been established, the audio transmission devices corresponding to the at least two audio transmission paths must be different.

[0113] In one embodiment, in response to at least two call requests in the same call period, determining whether the terminal has established at least two audio transmission paths in step S101 includes:

[0114] In response to at least two call requests within the same call period, it is determined whether the terminal has established at least two audio transmission paths according to whether the terminal is externally connected to at least one audio transmission device.

[0115] It is understandable that the terminal device has a built-in audio transmission path, and then the terminal device can determine whether the terminal device has established at least two audio transmission paths according to whether at least one audio transmission device is externally connected.

[0116] The audio transmission device may be an electronic device provided with at least one audio transmission path, such as a Bluetooth headset, a smart watch, etc., which is not specifically limited.

[0117] The audio transmission device can establish a connection with the terminal device via a wired communication line or a wireless communication channel to be externally connected to the terminal device.

[0118] In step S102, after the terminal device determines that at least two audio transmission paths have been established by executing step S101, the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests sent by the opposite device can be associated with the at least two audio transmission paths respectively.

[0119] Among them, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the voice data packets corresponding to at least two call requests and at least two audio transmission paths; the voice data packets corresponding to each call request are associated with an audio transmission path, and the voice data packets corresponding to different call requests are associated with different audio transmission paths.

[0120] It can be understood that when the terminal device has at least two audio transmission paths, the terminal device can associate the voice data packet corresponding to each call request of at least two call requests with an audio transmission path, thereby obtaining the corresponding audio transmission path for each call request, thereby ensuring that the data packet corresponding to each call request is output only through one corresponding audio transmission path.

[0121] The method of associating an audio transmission path for the voice data packet corresponding to each call request can be selected through the software and hardware settings in the terminal device, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations on this.

[0122] Exemplarily, the terminal device establishes a call connection through at least two call requests, so that when a voice data packet is received, the voice data packet can be processed by a modem module. For example, the modem module can demodulate the SIM card information and / or IP number carried in each voice data packet, and based on the SIM card information and / or IP number, the voice data packet corresponding to each call request can be associated with an audio transmission path.

[0123] It should be noted that the one-to-one correspondence between the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests and the at least two audio transmission paths means that any one call request corresponds to only one audio transmission path.

[0124] In step S103, after the terminal device associates different audio transmission paths for voice data packets corresponding to different call requests by executing step S102, the terminal device can use the audio transmission path to output the voice data packets associated with the audio transmission path, thereby outputting at least two voice data packets based on the at least two audio transmission paths respectively.

[0125] It can be understood that each audio transmission path in the terminal device only outputs one associated voice data packet, so that there will be no confusion in the transmission of the voice data packet corresponding to each call request; and at least two audio transmission paths in the terminal device can output at least two voice data packets at the same time, so that at least two call requests corresponding to the at least two voice data packets can be carried out at the same time, thereby satisfying the user's demand for making at least two calls within the same call period and improving the user experience.

[0126] Each call request may correspond to a plurality of voice data packets, and the plurality of voice data packets are associated with one call request or one call connection.

[0127] Exemplarily, when the SIM card information carried in multiple voice data packets is the same, the multiple voice data packets may be associated with the same call connection based on the SIM card information.

[0128] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when at least two call requests are obtained within the same call period, by determining whether at least two audio transmission paths are established, and when it is determined that at least two audio transmission paths are established, the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests are respectively associated with the at least two audio transmission paths, so that the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests in the same call period can be respectively associated with different audio transmission paths; and then the voice data packets associated with the audio transmission paths are respectively output through the at least two audio transmission paths, so that the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests can be transmitted within the same call period, that is, the concurrent transmission of voice data packets using at least two voice transmission paths is realized, which not only improves the transmission efficiency but also improves the user experience.

[0129] Optional, Figure 2 A communication method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, in step S102, if the terminal has established the at least two audio transmission paths, the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests are respectively associated with the at least two audio transmission paths, including:

[0130] Step S201, if the terminal has established at least two audio transmission paths, based on the at least two audio transmission paths, respectively establish a call connection with a peer device corresponding to each call request;

[0131] Step S203, based on each of the at least two call connections, obtaining a voice data packet corresponding to the call connection;

[0132] Step S203, processing the voice data packet based on the audio transmission path associated with the call connection; the processed voice data packet at least includes identification information of the audio transmission path used to transmit the voice data packet.

[0133] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the terminal device determines through step S101 that at least two call requests have been received and at least two audio transmission paths have been established, it can execute step S201, and in response to the user's connection instruction for the at least two call requests, establish a call connection with the opposite device corresponding to each of the call requests based on the at least two audio transmission paths.

[0134] It can be understood that when the terminal device determines that at least two audio transmission paths have been established, it can respond to the user's connection instruction for the at least two call requests, establish at least two call connections with the at least two call requests, and correspond each of the at least two audio transmission paths to a call connection, so that each of the at least two audio transmission paths establishes a one-to-one correspondence with each of the at least two opposite-end devices corresponding to the at least two call requests, so that each opposite-end device that successfully establishes a call connection with the terminal is respectively associated with an audio transmission path.

[0135] Exemplarily, assuming that the terminal device has received a first call request and established a first call connection, the terminal device may allocate a first audio transmission path for the first call connection, such as a transmission path in a Bluetooth headset. When the first call connection is in progress, the terminal device receives a second call request, and the terminal device will allocate a second audio transmission path different from the first audio transmission path for the second call connection based on the information corresponding to the first audio transmission path of the first call connection, such as a transmission path in the terminal itself.

[0136] In one embodiment, after receiving at least two call requests, the terminal device may output prompt information, and in response to an operation triggered by the user based on the prompt information, obtain a connection instruction of the user for the at least two call requests.

[0137] Among them, the prompt information can be an incoming call reminder, and the incoming call reminder includes a display interface, an incoming call ring, an incoming call vibration, etc.

[0138] In step S202, after executing step S201 to establish a call connection with the opposite end device corresponding to each call request, the terminal device can obtain a voice data packet corresponding to each call connection.

[0139] It is understandable that after the terminal device establishes a call connection with the opposite device, it can receive the voice data packet sent by the opposite device.

[0140] In step S203, after the terminal device executes step S202 to obtain the voice data packet corresponding to the call connection, the terminal device can process the voice data packet obtained in step S202 based on the audio transmission path associated with each call connection. The processed voice data packet at least includes the identification information of the audio transmission path used to transmit the voice data packet.

[0141] It is understandable that the terminal device can determine an audio transmission path for each call connection corresponding to the opposite device by executing step S201, and the terminal device can receive the voice data packet sent by each call connection by executing step S202. Then, in order to send the voice data packet to the audio transmission path determined by the call connection, the terminal device can add the identification information of the audio transmission path corresponding to the call connection in the voice data packet to ensure that the voice data packet is sent to the corresponding audio transmission path.

[0142] Among them, different audio transmission channels have different identification information.

[0143] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device processes voice data packets corresponding to different call connections into voice data packets having identification information of corresponding audio transmission paths, so that based on the identification information in the voice data packets, at least two voice data packets can be associated with the at least two audio transmission paths.

[0144] Optionally, the step S103 of using the at least two audio transmission paths to respectively output voice data packets associated with the audio transmission paths includes:

[0145] Decoding the voice data packet to obtain identification information of the audio transmission path carried by the voice data packet and a first audio signal corresponding to the voice data packet;

[0146] The first audio signal is outputted using the audio transmission path indicated by the identification information.

[0147] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device processes the voice data packet by executing steps S201 to S203, and after associating different audio transmission paths for the voice data packets corresponding to the different call requests, the voice data packet can be decoded to obtain the identification information of the audio transmission path carried in the voice data packet, and the first audio signal corresponding to the voice data packet.

[0148] The first audio signal is an audio signal transmitted by a peer device.

[0149] The corresponding audio transmission path can be obtained by using the identification information, and then the first audio signal in the voice data packet is output by using the corresponding audio transmission path.

[0150] Exemplarily, the terminal device may have a voice module (audio), and the voice module may decode the voice data packet. It is understandable that the voice module may perform analog-to-digital conversion on the voice data packet to obtain the first audio signal.

[0151] Based on the identification information of the audio transmission path obtained by decoding the voice module, the audio transmission path indicated by the identification information is determined, such as the transmission path in the Bluetooth headset. Subsequently, the voice module can transmit the first audio signal to the Bluetooth headset, and the Bluetooth headset outputs the first audio signal.

[0152] In the disclosed embodiment, the terminal device can obtain the identification information and the first audio signal in the voice data packet by decoding the voice data packet. Based on the identification information, the audio transmission path corresponding to the voice data packet is obtained, so as to output the first audio signal through the audio transmission path corresponding to the voice data packet, thereby completing the communication between the opposite device and the terminal device.

[0153] Optional, Figure 3 A communication method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 3 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the method further includes:

[0154] Step S301, collecting a second audio signal, and determining a call connection associated with the second audio signal;

[0155] Step S302, encoding the second audio signal to obtain a voice data packet corresponding to the second audio signal;

[0156] Step S303: Process the voice data packet based on the audio transmission path associated with the call connection; the processed voice data packet at least includes identification information of the audio transmission path associated with the second audio signal.

[0157] It should be noted that, after establishing a call connection with at least two call requests, the terminal device can also transmit the audio signal collected by the terminal device to the opposite device to achieve interaction between the terminal device and the opposite device.

[0158] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after executing step S102, the terminal device can send a voice data packet to the opposite device that initiated the call request by executing steps S301 to S303 based on the audio transmission paths corresponding to the different call requests. It should be noted that steps S301 to S303 can be executed before step S103, can be executed after step S103, or can be executed simultaneously with step S103.

[0159] In step S301, the terminal device may collect audio to obtain a second audio signal through the terminal device itself or an audio transmission device externally connected to the terminal device; the terminal device may also determine a call connection associated with the second audio signal through the device that collects the second audio signal.

[0160] The second audio signal is an audio signal that a user using a terminal device needs to send to a peer device.

[0161] It can be understood that after going through steps S101 to S102, the terminal device can determine the correspondence between each call connection and the terminal device and the audio transmission device. Therefore, based on the audio transmission device used to collect audio, the call connection associated with the second audio signal can be determined.

[0162] In step S302, the terminal device may encode the second audio signal to convert the audio signal into a digital signal to obtain a corresponding voice data packet. The method of converting the audio signal into a digital signal may refer to the description in the relevant documents, and the present disclosure embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0163] In step S303, the terminal device may process the voice data packet obtained in step S302 according to the audio transmission channel corresponding to the call connection obtained in step S301. The processed voice data packet at least includes identification information of the audio transmission path used to transmit the voice data packet.

[0164] It is understandable that the terminal device can determine an audio transmission path for the collected voice signal by executing step S301, and the terminal device can convert the collected voice signal into a voice data packet by executing step S302. Then, in order to send the voice data packet to the opposite end device of the call connection, the terminal device can include the identification information of the determined audio transmission path in the voice data packet, thereby ensuring that the voice data packet is transmitted to the opposite end device corresponding to the audio transmission path based on the identification information.

[0165] It should be noted that the steps S301 to S303 may be executed by a voice module in the terminal device.

[0166] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device processes the audio information collected by different audio transmission devices into voice data packets with identification information of the corresponding audio transmission paths, so that based on the identification information in the voice data packets, the voice data packets collected by at least two audio transmission devices can be associated with the opposite devices corresponding to the at least two audio transmission paths, thereby achieving that at least two voice data packets can be sent to the corresponding opposite devices respectively.

[0167] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0168] Acquire identification information of the audio transmission path carried in a voice data packet corresponding to the second audio signal;

[0169] Determining a call connection associated with the audio transmission path based on the identification information of the audio transmission path;

[0170] The voice data packet corresponding to the second audio signal is transmitted to the opposite end device by using the call connection associated with the audio transmission path.

[0171] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the terminal device executes steps S301 to 303 to obtain a voice data packet with identification information corresponding to the audio transmission path, the terminal device can obtain the identification information of the audio transmission path carried in the voice data packet; based on the identification information of the audio transmission path, the terminal device can determine the audio transmission path associated with the second audio signal in the voice data packet, and then determine the call connection associated with the audio transmission path. Finally, the terminal device can use the call connection associated with the audio transmission path to transmit the voice data packet corresponding to the second audio signal to the opposite device.

[0172] The transmitting of the voice data packet corresponding to the second audio signal to the peer device may be to modulate the voice data packet and add SIM card information corresponding to the peer device to the voice data packet. Based on the SIM card information, the voice data packet may be transmitted to the peer device via the IP address indicated by the SIM card information.

[0173] It should be noted that this embodiment is different from the embodiment corresponding to step S301 to step S303, and can be executed by a modem module in the terminal device.

[0174] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after obtaining the voice data packet corresponding to the second audio signal, the terminal device can obtain a call connection associated with the audio transmission path based on the identification information of the audio transmission path in the voice data packet, and then transmit the second audio signal to the opposite device corresponding to the call connection, thereby sending the voice data packet to the corresponding opposite device.

[0175] Optional, Figure 4 A communication method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 4 ,like Figure 4 As shown, the collecting of the second audio signal and determining the call connection associated with the second audio signal in step S301 includes:

[0176] Step S401, obtaining signal strengths of at least two third audio signals collected by audio transmission devices corresponding to the at least two audio transmission paths at the same time;

[0177] Step S402: determining the second audio signal from the at least two third audio signals based on a signal strength difference between the at least two third audio signals;

[0178] Step S403: Based on the audio transmission path corresponding to the audio transmission device that collects the second audio signal, determine the call connection associated with the audio transmission path as the call connection associated with the second audio signal.

[0179] It should be noted that the terminal device and the audio transmission device of the peripheral device can collect voice signals at the same time. In theory, the voice signals can be sent to each of the at least two peer devices at the same time. However, there are some application scenarios where the voice signals do not need to be sent to at least two peer devices. For example, the user covers the receiver of the terminal device with his hand and only wants to output the voice signal to the peer device corresponding to the Bluetooth headset. Therefore, when the terminal device collects the second audio signal, it is also necessary to perform certain processing on the second audio signal.

[0180] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in step 401, the terminal device collects audio through the at least two audio transmission devices to obtain at least two third audio signals; based on the at least two third audio signals, the signal strength of the at least two third audio signals passing through the at least two audio transmission paths can be obtained.

[0181] The signal strength is proportional to the volume of the collected audio.

[0182] In step 402, the terminal device may determine an audio signal (ie, a second audio signal) that the user of the terminal device needs to send to the opposite device from the at least two third audio signals based on the signal strengths of the at least two third audio signals obtained in step S401.

[0183] It is understandable that when the user of the terminal device does not want to send the audio signal to the opposite end device corresponding to a call connection, the user may actively reduce the signal strength of the audio signal that can be collected by the audio transmission device corresponding to the call connection. Therefore, the second audio signal can be determined based on whether the signal strength of the at least two third audio signals meets the strength requirement of a normal call.

[0184] The strength requirement may be set according to actual experience, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit this.

[0185] In one embodiment, the step of determining the second audio signal from the at least two third audio signals based on a signal strength difference between the at least two third audio signals in step S402 includes:

[0186] If the signal strength difference between the at least two third audio signals is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, determining the third audio signal with greater signal strength among the at least two third audio signals as the second audio signal;

[0187] If the signal strength difference between the at least two third audio signals is less than a preset threshold, the at least two third audio signals are both determined as the second audio signals.

[0188] It should be noted that, in order to speed up the efficiency of confirming the signal strength of at least two third audio signals, the terminal device can compare the signal strengths of the at least two third audio signals to determine one or more second audio signals from the at least two third audio signals.

[0189] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when comparing at least two third audio signals, the terminal device may determine the second audio signal based on a relationship between a signal strength difference between the at least two third audio signals and a preset threshold.

[0190] If the signal strength difference between the at least two third audio signals is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, that is, the signal strength of one third audio signal between the at least two third audio signals is too large and far exceeds the signal strength of other third audio signals, the third audio signal with the larger signal strength among the at least two third audio signals is determined as the second audio signal.

[0191] If the signal strength difference between the at least two third audio signals is less than a preset threshold, that is, the signal strength of each third audio signal between the at least two third audio signals is similar, the at least two third audio signals are both determined as the second audio signals.

[0192] It is understandable that if the signal strength difference is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it indicates that the user has taken measures to reduce the strength of the collected audio of at least one of the audio transmission devices (which may include the terminal device). Therefore, the third audio signal of the audio transmission device with the best sound reception, that is, the third audio signal with a large signal strength, can be selected as the second audio signal.

[0193] In step S403, based on the second audio signal determined in step S402, the terminal device may determine the call connection associated with the audio transmission path corresponding to the second audio signal as the call connection associated with the second audio signal.

[0194] It can be understood that after the terminal device determines the second audio signal from the at least two third audio signals, it can obtain the audio transmission path corresponding to the audio transmission device that collects each second audio signal, and then determine the call connection corresponding to the audio transmission path, and determine the call connection as the call connection associated with the second audio signal.

[0195] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by comparing the signal strengths of at least two third audio signals collected at the same time, the second audio signal that needs to be sent to the opposite device is determined, and then the second audio signal is transmitted. This can achieve screening of the audio signals collected by the audio transmission device and improve the accuracy of audio signal transmission.

[0196] Optionally, the processing of the voice data packet based on the audio transmission path associated with the call connection in step S203 and step S303 includes:

[0197] Obtaining identification information of an audio transmission path associated with the call connection;

[0198] A packet header carrying the identification information is added to the voice data packet.

[0199] In the disclosed embodiment, when processing a voice data packet, the terminal device can obtain the processed voice data packet by acquiring identification information of the audio transmission path associated with the call connection and adding a packet header carrying the identification information to the voice data packet.

[0200] Optionally, the communication method further includes:

[0201] Determining whether the number of the audio transmission paths established by the terminal is greater than or equal to the number of the call requests;

[0202] The step S102 of associating the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests with the at least two audio transmission paths respectively includes:

[0203] If the number of the audio transmission paths is greater than or equal to the number of the call requests, the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests are associated with the at least two audio transmission paths respectively.

[0204] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, before executing step 102, the terminal device may also determine the specific number of the at least two audio transmission paths established by the terminal and the number of the at least two call requests, and based on the relationship between the number of the audio transmission paths and the number of call requests, reasonably associate the voice data packets corresponding to different call requests with the at least two audio transmission paths.

[0205] The terminal device can determine whether the number of audio transmission paths established by the terminal is greater than or equal to the number of call requests, that is, the terminal device can determine whether the established audio transmission paths can ensure that any of the multiple call requests received has a corresponding audio transmission path.

[0206] If the number of audio transmission paths is greater than or equal to the number of call requests, that is, the number of volume transmission paths supports each call request to establish a call connection based on a separate audio transmission path, the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests can be associated with the at least two audio transmission paths respectively.

[0207] Here, the process of associating the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests with the at least two audio transmission paths respectively can refer to the embodiment in step S102, and for the sake of brevity of the specification, it will not be repeated here.

[0208] In one embodiment, if the number of the audio transmission paths is less than the number of call requests, that is, the number of volume transmission paths cannot support each call request to establish a call connection based on one audio transmission path, the first number of call requests among the at least two call requests can be rejected.

[0209] The first number is determined by the difference between the number of the audio transmission channels and the number of the call requests.

[0210] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by determining the number of the audio transmission paths and the number of the call requests, it is possible to obtain whether at least two call requests within the same call period can establish a one-to-one correspondence with at least two audio transmission paths, so that based on the one-to-one correspondence, the voice data packets corresponding to the call requests can be associated with the at least two audio transmission paths respectively, thereby realizing the transmission of the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests through the corresponding audio transmission channels within the same call period.

[0211] Optionally, the communication method further includes:

[0212] Determining whether the user identity information corresponding to each of the at least two call requests is preset user identity information;

[0213] If there is a target call request corresponding to the preset user identity information, obtaining the channel priority information corresponding to the preset user identity information; wherein the channel priority information indicates the priority between multiple audio transmission channels;

[0214] Based on the path priority information, determining a target audio transmission path from idle audio transmission paths of the terminal;

[0215] The step S102 of associating the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests with the at least two audio transmission paths respectively includes:

[0216] The voice data packet corresponding to the target call request is associated with the target audio transmission path.

[0217] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, before executing step 102, the terminal device may also determine whether the user identity information corresponding to each of the at least two call requests is preset user identity information; based on the preset user identity information, determine that the call request corresponding to the preset identity information is a target call request.

[0218] The user identity information may be obtained from the SIM card information carried in the call request. The preset user identity information may be the SIM card information input or marked by the terminal user. That is, the SIM card information identified by the terminal user is compared with the SIM card information corresponding to the current call request. If the two pieces of information are the same, the current call request is the target call request.

[0219] Exemplarily, the terminal user may mark the user information corresponding to the first SIM card information (eg, mobile phone number A) as the preset identity information. When the terminal receives a call request from mobile phone number A, it determines that the call request from mobile phone number A is a target call request.

[0220] When the terminal device determines that there is a target call request corresponding to the preset user identity information in at least two calls, the terminal device can obtain the path priority information corresponding to the preset user identity information, that is, the priority between multiple audio transmission paths. Subsequently, the terminal device can determine the target audio transmission path from the idle audio transmission paths of the terminal device based on the priority between the multiple audio transmission paths.

[0221] The idle audio transmission path is an audio transmission path that has not yet established a call connection with the opposite device among the multiple audio transmission paths currently established by the terminal device.

[0222] In some embodiments, the path priority information corresponding to the preset user identity information can be obtained based on the preset user identity information, wherein the path priority information corresponding to each preset user identity information can be set according to the actual needs of the terminal user.

[0223] In one embodiment, the path priority information corresponding to each preset user identity information may be different.

[0224] Exemplarily, it is assumed that the terminal has three audio transmission channels (assuming that they are channel 1, channel 2, and channel 3), and the preset user identity information indicates preset user A and preset user B. The channel priority information corresponding to preset user A may be: channel 1 takes precedence over channel 2, and channel 2 takes precedence over channel 3. The channel priority information corresponding to preset user B may be: channel 2 takes precedence over channel 1, and channel 1 takes precedence over channel 3.

[0225] As another example, assuming that the terminal receives a target call request, the channel priority information can be determined according to the preset user A corresponding to the target call request: channel 1 takes precedence over channel 2, and channel 2 takes precedence over channel 3. Then, channel 1 is selected as the target audio transmission channel from the three idle channels; if another target call request is received in the same time period, the channel priority information can be determined according to the preset user B corresponding to the target call request: channel 2 takes precedence over channel 1, and channel 1 takes precedence over channel 3, and channel 2 is selected as the target audio transmission channel from the remaining two channels.

[0226] In one embodiment, the path priority information corresponding to each preset user identity information may be the same.

[0227] For example, assuming that the terminal has three audio transmission channels (assuming they are channel 1, channel 2, and channel 3), the terminal user can set the channel priority information corresponding to the preset user identity information to be: channel 1 takes precedence over channel 2, and channel 2 takes precedence over channel 3. In other words, the channel priority information corresponding to any target call request is: channel 1 takes precedence over channel 2, and channel 2 takes precedence over channel 3.

[0228] As another example, assuming that the terminal receives a target call request, it can select the highest channel (channel 1) from the three channels as the target audio transmission channel based on the channel priority information corresponding to the target call request; if another target call request is received within the same time period, it can select the highest channel (channel 2) from the remaining two channels (channel 2 and channel 3) as the target audio transmission channel based on the channel priority information corresponding to the target call request.

[0229] After determining the target audio transmission path, the terminal device can associate the voice data packet corresponding to the target call request with the target audio transmission path.

[0230] It can be understood that after the terminal device determines the audio transmission path with the highest priority among all idle audio transmission paths, it can associate the voice data corresponding to the target call request with the audio transmission path with the highest priority, so as to allocate different audio transmission paths according to user identity information.

[0231] For example, assuming that the preset user identity information is preset user A, and the channel priority information corresponding to the preset user identity information is that the Bluetooth headset takes precedence over the terminal audio. Then, when the preset user A requests a call, the terminal device will prioritize the audio transmission channel in the Bluetooth headset for the preset user A, so that the terminal user can talk to the preset user A through the Bluetooth headset, meeting the private call needs of the terminal user and the preset user A.

[0232] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device can determine whether a call request is a target call request based on the user identity information corresponding to the opposite device requesting the call; and when the call request is a target call request, obtain the path priority information corresponding to the user identity information requesting the call, thereby obtaining the target audio transmission path from the idle audio transmission path, thereby realizing the selection of the corresponding target audio transmission path based on the user identity information to meet the user's needs.

[0233] Next, combine Figures 1 to 4 The method in the corresponding embodiment is used to illustrate the communication method in the embodiment of the present disclosure with a specific example.

[0234] First, a communication device is introduced, which can be a chip or system on chip in a terminal device, or a functional module in the terminal device for implementing the methods described in the above embodiments. The image processing device can implement the functions performed by the terminal device in the above embodiments, and these functions can be implemented by hardware executing corresponding software. These hardware or software include one or more modules corresponding to the above functions.

[0235] The communication device comprises: a modulation and demodulation module and an audio module, wherein the modulation and demodulation module and the audio module can be integrated into one hardware or software, or can be respectively configured as a plurality of hardware or software.

[0236] Figure 5 A communication method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 5 ,like Figure 5 As shown, the communication method includes:

[0237] Step S501, in response to at least two call requests in the same call period, determining whether the terminal has established at least two audio transmission paths.

[0238] It is understandable that the audio module in the terminal device confirms that the first call is established and receives a second call request during the first call. Then, when it is confirmed that the terminal is connected to the Bluetooth headset and the terminal supports DSDA, a pop-up window prompts the user whether to agree to the voice dual-channel solution.

[0239] Step S502: Based on the at least two audio transmission paths (which may be the terminal and the Bluetooth headset), a call connection is established with each opposite-end device corresponding to the call request.

[0240] It is understandable that after the terminal device confirms that the user agrees to the voice dual-channel solution, it determines the audio transmission path corresponding to the first call; if the first call is answered by a Bluetooth headset, the second call is set to be answered by a microphone or hands-free.

[0241] Step S503, obtaining a voice data packet corresponding to the call connection, and processing the voice data packet.

[0242] It is understandable that if the first call is answered by a Bluetooth headset, the modem module adds a header corresponding to the Bluetooth headset audio transmission path when processing the IP-based voice transmission packet (VoIP packet) sent by the peer device, and negotiates with the voice module. If the second call is answered by a terminal receiver, the modem module adds a header corresponding to the terminal receiver audio transmission path when processing the IP-based voice transmission packet sent by the peer device, and negotiates with the voice module.

[0243] Step S504: based on each of the at least two call connections, obtain a voice data packet corresponding to the call connection.

[0244] It can be understood that the modem module sends the VoIP packet with the header added to the voice module, the voice module decodes the corresponding VoIP packet, parses the header, and selects the corresponding audio path according to the pre-negotiated regulations. The voice data packet corresponding to the Bluetooth headset is sent to the Bluetooth for playback, and the voice data packet corresponding to the microphone is sent to the terminal microphone for playback.

[0245] Step S505: collect a second audio signal, and determine a call connection associated with the second audio signal.

[0246] It can be understood that the voice module receives the voice signal collected from the Bluetooth headset and the terminal microphone to obtain the second audio signal, and the second audio signal needs to be sent to the call connection associated with the second audio signal.

[0247] Step S506: encode the second audio signal to obtain a voice data packet corresponding to the second audio signal; and process the voice data packet based on the audio transmission path associated with the call connection.

[0248] It is understandable that the voice module can encode the voice signal collected by the Bluetooth headset to form a VoIP packet. The voice module can also add a header corresponding to the Bluetooth headset audio transmission path to the VoIP packet based on the Bluetooth headset, and then send it to the modem module. The voice module can encode the voice signal collected by the terminal receiver to form a VoIP packet. The voice module can also add a header corresponding to the terminal receiver audio transmission path to the VoIP packet based on the terminal receiver, and then send it to the modem module.

[0249] Step S507, obtaining identification information of the audio transmission path carried in the voice data packet corresponding to the second audio signal; based on the identification information of the audio transmission path, transmitting the voice data packet corresponding to the second audio signal to the opposite end device.

[0250] It is understandable that the modem module obtains the header of the VoIP packet, and based on the call connection corresponding to the header, sends the VoIP packet to the associated peer device. For example, if the VoIP packet has a header corresponding to the Bluetooth headset audio transmission path, the VoIP packet is sent to the peer device corresponding to the Bluetooth headset. If the VoIP packet has a header corresponding to the terminal receiver audio transmission path, the VoIP packet is sent to the peer device corresponding to the terminal receiver.

[0251] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when at least two call requests are obtained within the same call period, by determining whether at least two audio transmission paths are established, and when it is determined that at least two audio transmission paths are established, the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests are respectively associated with the at least two audio transmission paths, so that the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests in the same call period can be respectively associated with different audio transmission paths; and then the voice data packets associated with the audio transmission paths are respectively output through the at least two audio transmission paths, so that the voice data packets corresponding to the at least two call requests can be transmitted within the same call period, that is, the concurrent transmission of voice data packets using at least two voice transmission paths is realized, which not only improves the transmission efficiency but also improves the user experience.

[0252] In addition, a second audio signal can be collected at the same time and sent to an associated peer device, so that different audio transmission paths are used to collect and receive voice data packets in the same time period, thereby achieving dual-channel voice.
