Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0058] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0059] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0060] The term "multiple" as used herein refers to two or more than two. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the related objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0061] In order to more clearly interpret the ear return processing method provided in this application, the headphones corresponding to the ear return processing method adopted in this application are explained below.

[0062] Figure 1 For a schematic diagram of the structure of the earphone provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 The earphone may include: a sound pickup device 110 and an earphone body 120, Figure 1 Specifically, the three-view structure of the headset, wherein the headset can be a neck-hanging open-type headset or a head-mounted headset, and the specific selection can be made according to actual needs. Figure 1 The structure is explained using the neck-hanging open-back headphones as an example.

[0063] It should be noted that the headset can be a headset with wireless communication function such as a Bluetooth headset, through which other wireless devices can be communicated and connected, for example, the headset can be communicated and connected with a mobile phone, a computer or any dedicated electronic device, etc., without specific limitation. In the process of realizing communication, the user can realize multiple functions based on the Bluetooth headset, such as audio playback, calling, recording, ear return and other functions, and can use them according to actual needs.

[0064] The sound pickup device 110 may specifically be a microphone, and the earphone may pick up the user's voice or ambient sound of the surrounding environment based on the sound pickup device 110 .

[0065] The earphone body 120 can specifically be an output device with an audio playback function, such as a speaker. Based on this output device, the above-mentioned audio playback, call, recording, ear return and other functions can be realized.

[0066] In actual application, the connection relationship between the sound pickup device 110 and the earphone body 120 may be different according to the actual product structure, for example, it may be a detachable connection or a fixed connection, etc., which is not specifically limited here. After the sound pickup device 110 and the earphone body 120 are connected, the corresponding sound pickup function can be completed.

[0067] Optionally, Figure 1Taking the actual product structure of the earphone as an example, it can be determined from the top view and the front view that the earphone body 120 includes two speakers 121, and the two speakers 121 are connected by a head bow line 122. A physical button 123 can also be provided near the speaker 121, and it can be determined that a charging port 124 can also be provided on the outside of the speaker 121; in addition, based on the side view, the connection between the sound pickup device 110 and the earphone body 120 can be determined.

[0068] The following is a detailed explanation of the specific implementation process of the ear return processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application based on the above-mentioned earphone structure.

[0069] Figure 2 For a flow chart of the in-ear feedback processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 , the method comprising:

[0070] S210: In response to a first trigger operation on the earphone, control the earphone to be in an ear return mode.

[0071] Among them, in the ear return mode, the earphones can use the ear return function, and the ear return function includes playing the audio collected by the pickup device.

[0072] It should be noted that the first trigger operation can adopt different triggering methods according to the actual structure of the headset. For example, for headsets with physical buttons and knobs, the first trigger operation can be a trigger operation for the physical button, such as double-clicking, long pressing, single-clicking, etc., and a trigger operation for the knob, such as rotation, etc.; for headsets with a touch screen, the first trigger operation can be a corresponding control in the touch screen, such as an ear return activation control.

[0073] The first trigger operation for the headset can be a manual operation, for example: the user operates the corresponding physical button, knob or control; or it can be an operation automatically performed by the headset based on a pre-configuration, for example: automatically triggered after being turned on for a period of time, or automatically triggered after receiving a signal sent by other terminal devices connected to the headset for communication, etc., without specific restrictions here.

[0074] Optionally, the ear return mode can specifically be one of the many modes of the headset. Under the ear return mode, you can choose whether to enable the ear return function. After enabling the ear return function, you can play the audio collected by the sound pickup device.

[0075] For example, after the ear return function is enabled, the user's words or sounds can be picked up by the sound pickup device and then played through the audio output device on the headset body, so that the user can hear his or her own voice through the ear return function.

[0076] In actual applications, the ear return function can achieve effects such as voice enhancement and echo generation, which can help users memorize more efficiently and quickly in scenarios that require memorization, such as memorizing books and English.

[0077] It should be noted that when in the ear return mode, the ear return function can be enabled or disabled, and can be enabled or disabled accordingly according to the specific application scenario.

[0078] S220: Determine the usage status of the earphone return function according to the current working status of the earphone.

[0079] Optionally, the usage status of the earphone return function may include: disabled and in use.

[0080] Among them, when the earphone is in the ear return mode, the ear return function is in use by default. When the ear return function needs to be turned off due to various factors, the ear return function can be turned off and the ear return function can be disabled. When the ear return function is in the disabled mode, the audio collected by the pickup device cannot be played.

[0081] It should be noted that the current working state of the headset may include multiple states, such as: audio playback state, call state, voice recording state or standby state.

[0082] Among them, the audio playback status can specifically be various audio playback functions performed by the user through the headset, such as: listening to songs, listening to books, etc.; the call status can be the function of the user talking with other users through the headset, which can include calls initiated by the user and calls passively answered by the user; the voice recording status can specifically be the function of recording based on the headset, such as: recording songs, recording conversations, etc.; the standby state can specifically be the state where the headset is turned on and no work is performed. In actual application, the current working state of the headset is usually in one of the above-mentioned multiple working states.

[0083] After determining the current working status of the headset, it can be determined whether the ear return function needs to be enabled based on different working states.

[0084] In an ear return processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the earphone can be controlled to be in an ear return mode in response to a trigger operation on the earphone. In the ear return mode, the earphone can use the ear return function, which includes playing the audio collected by the sound pickup device; the use status of the ear return function is determined according to the current working state of the earphone. Among them, after entering the ear return mode, it can be selected whether the ear return function is disabled, so that the ear return function can be used and disabled according to actual needs without exiting the ear return mode, avoiding the repeated switching of the ear return mode during the use of the ear return earphone. That is to say, this method can reduce the frequency of earphone mode switching, and accordingly, improve the convenience of earphone use.

[0085] The following is a detailed explanation of the specific implementation process of determining whether to enable the ear return function during execution of the ear return processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0086] Figure 3 For another flow chart of the in-ear feedback processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 3 , determining whether to enable the ear return function according to the current working state of the headset, including: if the current working state of the headset is a call state, determining that the ear return function of the headset is in a prohibited state.

[0087] according to Figure 3 It can be obtained that when the current working status of the earphones is different, the usage status of the corresponding ear return function is also different.

[0088] Among them, when the headset is in a call state, since the user needs to transmit audio to other people, there is no need to set the ear return function. In this state, the ear return function can be prohibited.

[0089] Correspondingly, in other working states, the ear return function of the headset can be in use, for example: in audio playback state, voice recording state and standby state, the ear return function can be realized.

[0090] It should be noted that the standby state can be a state in which the headset is turned on and no work is performed. In this state, the ear return function of the headset can be used regardless of whether the headset is connected to other terminal devices. In other words, the user can use the ear return function of the headset when the headset is not connected to other terminal devices, or can also use the ear return function of the headset after the headset is connected to other terminal devices.

[0091] In addition, if there are other working states during the actual use of the headphones, the use state of the ear return function can also be selected based on the corresponding working state.

[0092] It should be noted that the above-mentioned prohibition of enabling the ear return function specifically means that when the ear return function is in the enabled state, it is forcibly turned off; when the ear return function is in the turned off state, it cannot be enabled.

[0093] In the ear return processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the current working state of the earphone is a call state, it can be determined that the ear return function of the earphone is in a disabled state. The use state of the ear return function is selected according to the current working state of the earphone without changing the ear return mode, thereby reducing the switching frequency of the ear return mode of the earphone, and it can also more accurately determine whether the current ear return function is in use.

[0094] The following is a detailed explanation of the actual application of the ear return processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application during the actual execution process and the corresponding solution.

[0095] Figure 4 For an application diagram of the ear-return processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 4 The method also includes: when the current working state of the headset is an audio playing state and the ear return function of the headset is in use, reducing the volume of the currently playing audio.

[0096] Optionally, when in audio playback mode, the speaker of the headset is usually in the state of playing audio. If the ear return function is in use at this time, the speaker needs to output the ear return sound while outputting the audio. In order to allow the user to hear the ear return sound brought by the ear return function more clearly during use, the volume of the currently playing audio can be lowered.

[0097] It should be noted that the extent to which the currently playing audio is reduced can be determined specifically based on the volume of the currently playing audio and the volume of the ear-return sound.

[0098] For example, if the volume of the currently playing audio is greater than or equal to the volume of the earphone monitor, the volume of the currently playing audio can be lowered until the volume of the currently playing audio is less than the volume of the earphone monitor; alternatively, the volume of the currently playing audio can be lowered to a target volume, etc., without specific limitation here.

[0099] In an ear return processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application, when the current working state of the earphone is the audio playing state and the ear return function of the earphone is in use, the volume of the currently playing audio can be reduced. By reducing the volume of the currently playing audio, the user can hear the ear return sound more clearly, so that the ear return function can be implemented normally, reducing the impact caused by the currently playing audio.

[0100] Optionally, lowering the volume of the currently playing audio includes: determining whether there is a human voice signal in the headphone output audio, the human voice signal being the human voice audio played through the ear return function; if there is a human voice signal, lowering the volume of the currently playing audio.

[0101] It should be noted that the headphone output audio may specifically be the audio played by an output unit such as a speaker of the headphone, for example, it may include the currently playing audio and the vocal signal played by the ear return function.

[0102] Among them, it can be determined whether there is a human voice signal in the headphone output audio. Specifically, the human voice audio can be determined based on functions such as spectrum detection or neural network recognition, and then it can be obtained whether there is a human voice signal in the headphone output audio. If it exists, the volume of the currently playing audio can be reduced; correspondingly, if it does not exist, the volume of the currently playing audio can be maintained.

[0103] In an ear return processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application, it can be specifically determined whether there is human voice audio in the headphone output audio; if there is human voice audio, the volume of the currently playing audio can be reduced. Among them, by determining whether there is human voice in the headphone output audio, it can be more accurately determined whether the volume of the currently playing audio of the headphone needs to be adjusted, and then the human voice output by the ear return function can be ensured to be clearly heard while the audio is playing and the ear return function is turned on.

[0104] Optionally, the method further includes: when the ear return function of the earphone is in a disabled state, in response to a first trigger operation on the earphone, outputting a first prompt message.

[0105] Among them, the first prompt information is used to indicate that the ear return function cannot be enabled.

[0106] It should be noted that the first prompt message can be a preset voice played by the speaker of the headset, such as "Unable to switch to ear return mode, call in progress"; in addition, other first prompt messages can also be set according to the actual structure of the headset, such as: setting a prompt light, a buzzer, or displaying corresponding text information on the interactive screen, etc., and there is no specific restriction on the type of the first prompt message here.

[0107] In specific implementation, the first trigger operation is the trigger of the physical button, knob or interactive control explained above, that is, the trigger operation of using the ear return function. For example, double-clicking the physical button can be set as a trigger operation to enable the ear return function. When the ear return function of the headset is prohibited from being enabled, if the user allows the headset to use the ear return function based on the first trigger operation, the above-mentioned first prompt information can be output.

[0108] For example, when the headset is currently in a call state, if a first trigger operation of the user on the headset is received, the first prompt information can be output in response to the operation.

[0109] In the ear return processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the ear return function of the earphone is in a disabled state, in response to a first trigger operation on the earphone, a first prompt message can be output. The output of the first prompt message can remind the user that the ear return function cannot be used under the current working state of the earphone, thereby enabling the user to timely understand the current working state of the earphone and the use state of the ear return function.

[0110] The following is a detailed explanation of the specific implementation process of determining the ear return mode in the ear return processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0111] Figure 5 For another flow chart of the in-ear feedback processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 5 In response to a trigger operation on the earphone, before controlling the earphone to be in an ear return mode, the method further includes:

[0112] S510: Receive a connection signal from a sound pickup device.

[0113] The connection signal is used to indicate that the sound pickup device is connected.

[0114] It should be noted that the connection signal can specifically be a signal generated after a connection is established between the sound pickup device and the earphone body. For example, for a detachable sound pickup device, the above connection signal can be generated after the sound pickup device is installed on the earphone; for a fixedly connected sound pickup device, the above connection signal can be generated when the sound pickup device can be used.

[0115] After receiving the connection signal of the sound pickup device, it can be determined that the sound pickup device can be used. Accordingly, the above steps S210-S220 can be executed to make the headset enter the ear return mode and determine the use status of the ear return function.

[0116] In the ear return processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, a connection signal of a sound pickup device can be received, and after receiving the connection signal, in response to a first trigger operation on the earphone, the earphone is controlled to be in the ear return mode. The connection signal can further determine whether the sound pickup device of the earphone can be used normally, thereby avoiding the inability to enable the ear return function due to the inability to use the sound pickup device.

[0117] Optionally, the method further includes: when the ear return function of the headset is in use, if the connection signal is disconnected, changing the ear return function of the headset to a disabled state.

[0118] Among them, when the ear return function of the earphone is in use, if the connection signal is disconnected, it can be determined that the connection between the sound pickup device and the earphone body is disconnected. That is to say, in this state, the sound pickup device cannot work normally, cannot obtain audio signals, or cannot transmit the obtained audio signals to the earphone body.

[0119] In this state, the usage status of the earphone's ear return function can be changed, specifically, the earphone's ear return function can be changed from a state of being in use to a state of being disabled.

[0120] In the ear return processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the ear return function of the earphone is in use, if the connection signal is disconnected, the ear return function of the earphone is changed to a disabled state. When the connection signal of the sound pickup device is disconnected, the ear return function can be disabled by changing the use state of the ear return function of the earphone, thereby avoiding the change of the ear return state, and also avoiding the situation where the audio cannot be received normally when the ear return function is in use, thereby improving the convenience of using the earphone.

[0121] Optionally, the method further includes: when the connection signal is disconnected or the connection signal is not received, in response to a first trigger operation on the headset, outputting a second prompt message.

[0122] The second prompt information is used to indicate that the sound pickup device is not connected.

[0123] It should be noted that the signal connection disconnection specifically refers to the disconnection of communication between the sound pickup device and the earphone. For example, for a detachable sound pickup device, when the sound pickup device is removed, it can be determined that the connection signal is disconnected; for a fixedly connected sound pickup device, when the power between the sound pickup device and the earphone body is cut off, it can be determined that the connection signal is disconnected.

[0124] Failure to receive the connection signal means that there has been no communication between the sound pickup device and the earphone from beginning to end. For example, for a detachable sound pickup device, when the sound pickup device is not installed, it can be determined that the connection signal is not received; for a fixedly connected sound pickup device, when the sound pickup device and the earphone body cannot communicate with each other by electrical signals, it can be determined that the connection signal is not received.

[0125] Among them, when in the above two states, the second prompt information can be output in response to the first trigger operation on the headset.

[0126] Specifically, the second prompt message can be a preset voice played by the speaker of the headset, such as "The ear return function cannot be enabled at present, please install a microphone", etc.; in addition, other second prompt messages can also be set according to the actual structure of the headset, such as: setting a prompt light, a buzzer, or displaying corresponding text information on the interactive screen, etc., and there is no specific restriction on the type of the second prompt message here.

[0127] It should be noted that when the connection signal is disconnected or no connection signal is received, the headphones may be in ear return mode or not. If in ear return mode, the ear return function needs to be turned off and disabled.

[0128] In the ear return processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the connection signal is disconnected or the connection signal is not received, the second prompt information can be output in response to the first trigger operation on the earphone. The second prompt information can be output to remind the user that the sound pickup device of the current earphone is not connected or disconnected, so that the user can be informed of the working status of the earphone and the use status of the ear return function in a timely manner.

[0129] Optionally, the method further includes: when the current working state of the earphone is a call state or a voice recording state, in response to a second trigger operation on the earphone, performing signal adjustment processing on the sound information transmitted by the sound pickup device.

[0130] Among them, the second trigger operation can be another trigger operation different from the first trigger operation, and can specifically be the triggering of a physical button, knob or interactive control, which is an operation that can perform signal adjustment processing on the currently input sound information.

[0131] For example: the first trigger operation can be a double-click on the physical button, and the second trigger operation can be a single-click on the physical button; or, the first trigger operation can be set to a single-click on the physical button, and the second trigger operation can be a double-click on the physical button. The first trigger operation can also be rotating the knob to a first preset position, and the second trigger operation can be rotating the knob to a second preset position; both the first trigger operation and the second trigger operation can be trigger operations on corresponding interactive controls on the touch screen. Any of the above can be selected as the corresponding setting for the first trigger operation and the second trigger operation, or can be set according to the user's usage habits, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0132] The sound information transmitted by the sound pickup device may specifically be human voice or ambient sound collected by the sound pickup device, and one or more of them may be selected as the sound information according to actual needs.

[0133] Signal adjustment processing specifically refers to the processing of sound information by headphones, for example, it may include amplitude adjustment, frequency adjustment, etc., and finally achieve voice change processing of the sound information through multi-dimensional adjustment of the sound information. A variety of processing methods can be preset according to actual needs. For example, when the sound information is human voice, the human voice can be changed into a preset type of human voice, such as electronic sound, children's voice, adult voice, etc., so as to achieve voice change processing; when the sound information is ambient sound, the ambient sound can be changed into a preset type of ambient sound, such as sea wave sound, street sound, train sound, etc., so as to achieve voice change processing; or, preset sound effects can be added to any sound information, for example, adding echo effect, adding sound distortion effect, etc., so as to achieve voice change processing. Specifically, the corresponding type setting can be made according to the actual needs of the user, and is not limited to the above examples.

[0134] That is to say, when the current working state of the headset is the call state, since the ear return function is not in use, the sound can be changed by signal adjustment processing of the sound information, and the terminal device on the other end of the call can play the sound information after the change.

[0135] When the current working state of the headset is the voice recording state, if the ear return function is in use, the sound can be changed by signal adjustment processing of the sound information, and the ear return function can be used to allow the user to hear the sound information after the change. A specific application scenario, for example, is that when the user uses the headset to record a song, he can hear his own sound after the change through the ear return function and the above-mentioned sound change processing.

[0136] In the ear return processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the current working state of the earphone is a call state or a human voice recording state, in response to the second trigger operation on the earphone, the sound information transmitted by the sound pickup device can be signal adjusted and processed. After the signal adjustment processing of the sound information is implemented by the second trigger operation, the sound information can be changed, thereby improving the wide range of use of the earphone and realizing more diverse functions in situations such as calls and recordings.

[0137] The specific implementation process of connecting signal transmission for sound pickup devices in different forms will be explained below.

[0138] Figure 6 For another flow chart of the in-ear feedback processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 6 The sound pickup device is detachably connected to the earphone via a contact point; receiving a connection signal of the sound pickup device, including:

[0139] S610: Acquire a first electrical signal generated when the sound pickup device is connected to the contact.

[0140] S620: Use the first electrical signal as a connection signal of the sound pickup device.

[0141] Optionally, the contact may specifically be an electrical contact provided on the earphone, and the sound pickup device may be provided with a structure connected to the contact, so as to realize a detachable connection between the sound pickup device and the earphone. When the sound pickup device is connected to the contact, a first electrical signal will be generated, and the first electrical signal may be used as a connection signal of the sound pickup device, so as to determine that the detachable sound pickup device has been connected to the earphone; correspondingly, if the sound pickup device is not connected to the contact, the first electrical signal will not be generated, and there will be no connection signal, which means that it can be determined that the detachable sound pickup device is not connected to the earphone.

[0142] It should be noted that the contact point can be set outside the speaker of the earphone. When the sound pickup device is connected to the earphone through the contact point, if the user is already wearing the earphone, the sound pickup device can be located in the user's mouth, thereby improving the sound pickup effect.

[0143] Among them, the sound pickup device can be a specially configured sound pickup device with an ear return function. In addition to the sound pickup device, the earphone can be provided with multiple other devices for sound recording, such as: a silicon microphone set on the use board, etc. These sound recording devices can realize other functions of the earphone, but cannot be used to realize the ear return function.

[0144] Accordingly, the specific implementation process of the sound pickup device in another form when realizing the connection signal transmission is explained below.

[0145] Figure 7 For another flow chart of the in-ear feedback processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 7 The sound pickup device can be rotatably connected to the earphone; receiving the connection signal of the sound pickup device, including:

[0146] S710: Acquire a second electrical signal generated when the sound pickup device rotates to a target position.

[0147] S720: Use the second electrical signal as a connection signal of the sound pickup device.

[0148] Optionally, the rotational connection can be that the sound pickup device and the earphone are set as one body, but the sound pickup device can be rotated relative to the earphone body. For example, after the user wears the earphone, when the ear return function is used, the sound pickup device can be rotated near the user's mouth; when the ear return function is not used, the sound pickup device can be rotated behind the user's ear.

[0149] Optionally, the target position can be set according to actual needs. For example, for neck-hanging open-type headphones, the target position can be set when the sound pickup device is parallel to the headband arch line; for head-mounted headphones, the target position can be set when the sound pickup device is perpendicular to the headband arch line. Of course, the above setting is only an example. In actual use, other related functions can also be set to perform position detection, so as to determine the position where the user can normally use the sound pickup device to pick up sound as the target position, which can be when the sound pickup device is near the user's mouth.

[0150] It should be noted that whether the sound pickup device is rotated to the target position can be determined by setting an electric chip or the like. When the sound pickup device is rotated to the target position, the electric chip will turn on the internal circuit, thereby generating the above-mentioned second electrical signal, so that a connection signal can be obtained to determine that the sound pickup device is connected; when the sound pickup device is not rotated to the target position, the electric chip will not turn on the internal circuit, that is, the above-mentioned second electrical signal cannot be generated, so the connection signal cannot be obtained, and it is determined that the sound pickup device is not connected or disconnected.

[0151] In the ear return processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the sound pickup device is detachably connected to the earphone through contacts, a first electrical signal generated when the sound pickup device is connected to the contacts can be obtained; the first electrical signal is used as the connection signal of the sound pickup device. When the sound pickup device is rotatably connected to the earphone, a second electrical signal generated when the sound pickup device rotates to a target position can be obtained; the second electrical signal is used as the connection signal of the sound pickup device. Among them, different signal generation methods can be used based on different connection methods between the sound pickup device and the earphone to determine whether the connection signal is generated, so that it can be more accurately and timely determined whether the current sound pickup device is connected to the earphone for communication, that is, whether the sound pickup device can be used normally, so that the user can be aware of the usage of the earphone in a timely manner.

[0152] In addition, Figure 1 Taking the neck-hanging open-type headphones shown as an example, the use of neck-hanging method and non-in-ear speakers can improve the safety of users when using headphones. On this basis, the above technical solution is adopted to make users more comfortable and convenient when using headphones, and it can be adapted to multiple functions, thereby improving the applicability of the headphones themselves.
