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

[0043] In the present invention, the directions or positional relationships indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "vertical", "horizontal", "lateral", "longitudinal" and the like are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. These terms are mainly used to better describe the present invention and its embodiments, and are not used to limit the indicated devices, elements or components to have a specific direction, or to be constructed and operated in a specific direction.

[0044] In addition, some of the above terms may be used to express other meanings in addition to indicating orientation or positional relationship. For example, the term "on" may also be used to express a certain dependency or connection relationship in some cases. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of these terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0045] In addition, the terms "installed", "set", "provided with", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be an internal connection between two devices, elements, or components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0046] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are mainly used to distinguish different devices, elements or components (the specific types and structures may be the same or different), and are not used to indicate or imply the relative importance and quantity of the indicated devices, elements or components. Unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0047] In the related art, reading picture books generally uses a reading pen or a picture book robot. When using a reading pen or a picture book robot to identify and read the content of a picture book, the user needs to place the picture book on a relatively fixed plane such as a desk for reading and identification. The user cannot move the picture book at will, and can only sit next to it and use the reading pen or picture book robot accordingly, which greatly affects the reading experience. Especially for child users, it is generally difficult to read for a long time in a fixed scene, which makes it difficult to cultivate children's interest in reading. In addition, the reading pen and picture book robot usually use an external speaker when reading the content of the picture book, which is easy to mix with the surrounding environmental sounds. It is not only not conducive to users to hear the content of the reading clearly, but also when the environmental sound is too noisy, children are easily affected and distracted, which is not conducive to cultivating children's concentration. It can be seen that the current scene of reading picture books is too fixed and single, which cannot meet the user's reading needs in different scenes, affecting the user experience.

[0048] Based on the above technical problems, the present invention provides a headset and a control method for the headset, the headset includes a headset body and a functional module, the headset body includes a shell part, a main control component and a speaker component, the functional module includes a camera module, the camera module is used to shoot and identify the image and then transmit it to the main control component in the headset for processing, the image is processed to obtain usable content and then transmitted to the speaker component of the headset to play the corresponding content in the image. When the user wears the headset of the present invention, when reading a picture book, it is not necessary to place the picture book on a fixed plane for reading, but can hold the book or lie down to read, that is, the user can adjust the reading posture according to the reading preference, and for child users, they do not need to sit in front of the desk boringly, which is conducive to cultivating reading interest. In addition, due to the combination of the headset and the camera module, the user can create a relatively quiet reading atmosphere when wearing it, and the user is not easily affected by the external environment, which can well cultivate reading concentration for child users.

[0049] It can be seen that by using the headphones of the present application, users can read picture books in any scene and with any posture, and can obtain a more comfortable and diverse picture book reading experience.

[0050] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings.

[0051] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6The present invention provides an earphone 100, which includes an earphone body 1 and a functional module 2. The earphone body 1 includes a shell part 11, a main control component 12 and a speaker component 13. The main control component 12 and the speaker component 13 are arranged in the shell part 11, and the speaker component 13 is electrically connected to the main control component 12. The functional module 2 includes a camera module 21, which is electrically connected to the main control component 12. The camera module 21 is used to shoot toward an object to be identified and generate image information and send it to the main control component 12. The main control component 12 is used to receive the image information and control the speaker component 13 to play the content corresponding to the image information.

[0052] Exemplarily, the object to be identified may include but is not limited to picture books 300, textbooks and other reading materials. The main control component 12 can analyze the text content and / or pattern content contained in the picture taken by the camera module 21, and then convert the text content and / or pattern content into sound signals, and then play them through the speaker component 13.

[0053] It can be seen that by using the earphone 100 of the present application, by combining the camera module 21 with the earphone body 1, the camera module 21 can be used to shoot the content of, for example, a picture book 300, and then play it through the speaker component 13, without the user having to use an additional point-reading pen or a picture book robot, which is conducive to improving the reading experience. In addition, since the camera module 21 can shoot the content of the picture book, when reading the picture book 300, it is not necessary to place the picture book 300 on a fixed plane for reading, but it can be read while holding the book or lying down, etc., that is, the user can adjust the reading posture according to the reading preference, especially for child users, they do not have to sit at the desk boringly, which is conducive to cultivating the user's reading interest. In addition, the user can use the speaker component to play the picture book content when wearing the earphone 100, without directly playing it externally, which can create a relatively quiet reading atmosphere, and the user is not easily affected by the external environment, which can well cultivate the reading concentration for child users.

[0054] In short, by using the earphones 100 of the present application, the user can read the picture book 300 in any scene and with any posture, and can obtain a more comfortable and diverse picture book 300 reading experience.

[0055] It is understandable that the earphone 100 of the present application may include but is not limited to ear-hook earphones, in-ear earphones, semi-in-ear earphones, earmuff earphones, headmuff earphones, etc. As an example, the earphone 100 of the present application may be an ear-hook earphone, and the earphone 100 may be a bone conduction earphone, that is, when the user wears the earphone 100, the earphone 100 can be hung on the ear of the user, and then the speaker 13 on the earphone 100 corresponds to the periphery of the ear of the user. Especially for children, when using bone conduction earphones, the child user does not need to place the earphone in the ear canal when wearing it, which is not only beneficial to the hearing protection of the child user, but also can reduce the discomfort of wearing the earphone to the ear canal, thereby helping to improve the user experience.

[0056] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the earphone 100 may also be, for example, an in-ear earphone or a semi-in-ear earphone.

[0057] This application will be described by taking the earphone 100 as an ear-hook type earphone as an example.

[0058] Considering that the earphone 100 of the present application is an earhook earphone, based on this, the earphone body 1 includes an earhook bracket 3 in addition to the above-mentioned housing part 11, main control component 12 and speaker component 13. The housing part 11 can be hung on the user's ear by the earhook bracket 3, so that the earphone 100 can be worn. Specifically, the housing part 11 can include a first housing 112 and a second housing 113, and the first housing 112 and the second housing 113 can be connected by the earhook bracket 3. When arranged, the main control component 12 can be arranged in the first housing 112, and the speaker component 13 can be arranged in the second housing 113. In this way, when the user wears the earphone 100, the first housing 112 is located at the rear side of the human ear, and the second housing 113 can be located at the front side of the human ear, so that the speaker component 13 arranged in the second housing 113 can be closer to the user's ear, which is convenient for the user to listen to the content played by the speaker component 13.

[0059] Furthermore, the housing portion 11 may include two housing portions 11, and the two housing portions 11 may be respectively arranged corresponding to the left ear and the right ear of the user. In order to connect the two housing portions 11 and improve the comfort of the user when wearing the headset 100, the headset body 1 may also include a wearing component 4 (such as a head bow, a headband, etc.), so that the wearing component 4 connects the two housing portions 11. When wearing the headset 100, by wearing the wearing component 4 on the human head, the headset 100 is prevented from being separated from the human ear, and the wearing comfort of the user can also be improved.

[0060] Optionally, considering that the picture book 300 is usually in an unfolded state, in order to be able to capture the contents of the picture book 300 as completely as possible, the camera module 21 may use, for example, a wide-angle camera module, and the shooting angle of the camera module 21 may be approximately 90°-150°. Preferably, the shooting angle of the camera module 21 may be 120°, so that the shooting angle can capture as much image content as possible on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the degree of deformation of the image content, so that the captured image information is clearer and more complete, which is convenient for the main control component 12 to process.

[0061] Optionally, the functional module 2 is detachably and / or rotatably connected to the housing portion 11. That is, the functional module 2 is detachably connected to the housing portion 11, or the functional module 2 is rotatably connected to the housing portion 11, or the functional module 2 is detachably connected to the housing portion 11, and when the functional module 2 is connected to the housing portion 11, the functional module 2 is also rotatable relative to the housing portion 11.

[0062] By detachably connecting the functional module 2 to the housing portion 11, the functional module 2 can be used as a whole, and whether to connect the functional module 2 can be determined according to actual conditions. For example, when it is necessary to read the picture book 300, the functional module 2 can be connected to the housing portion 11, and when it is not necessary to read the picture book 300, that is, when only the function of the earphone 100 itself is needed, the functional module 2 can be removed from the housing portion 11. It can be seen that by adopting a detachable connection method, the functional use of the earphone 100 can be adjusted according to different needs, and the use is more flexible, which is conducive to improving the user's convenience.

[0063] When the function module 2 is rotatably connected to the housing portion 11, the connection angle of the function module 2 relative to the housing portion 11 can be adjusted. In other words, the connection angle of the camera module 21 relative to the housing portion 11 can be adjusted, so that the user can adjust the shooting angle of the camera module 21 according to the placement of the picture book 300, so that the shooting range of the camera module 21 can cover the placement range of the picture book 300 as much as possible. That is, the way in which the function module 2 is rotatably connected to the housing portion 11 can adjust the shooting angle of the camera module 21 according to actual conditions, so that the camera module 21 can better adapt to the placement position of the picture book 300, and the user is more convenient to use.

[0064] It is worth noting that since the camera module 21 is electrically connected to the main control component 12 in the earphone body 1, when the functional module 2 is detachably connected to the shell part 11, the detachable connection includes a detachable electrical connection, that is, the camera module 21 and the main control component 12 adopt a detachable electrical connection.

[0065] Optionally, when the functional module 2 is detachably connected to the housing portion 11, the detachable connection method may include, but is not limited to, one or more of a magnetic connection, a snap connection, and a threaded connection. When the functional module 2 is rotatably connected to the housing portion 11, the rotatable connection method may include, but is not limited to, a shaft-hole matching connection.

[0066] In some embodiments, the functional module 2 also includes a connecting structure 22 and a mounting shell 23. One end of the connecting structure 22 is detachably connected to the shell portion 11, and the other end of the connecting structure 22 extends in a direction away from the shell portion 11. The mounting shell 23 is connected to the other end of the connecting structure 22, and the camera module 21 is arranged in the mounting shell 23, and the camera module 21 is electrically connected to the main control component 12 through the connecting structure 22. Exemplarily, considering that the earphone 100 is worn on the human ear, the extending direction of the connecting structure 22 can be the direction from the human ear to the human mouth. In this way, the functional module 2 is far away from the earphone body 1, which not only facilitates the setting of the camera module 21, but also prevents the human ear or face from blocking the shooting direction of the camera module 21.

[0067] Optionally, considering that the camera module 21 is electrically connected to the main control component 12, based on this, when the connecting structure 22 is connected to the shell part 11, that is, when the connecting structure 22 is installed to the shell part 11, the main control component 12 can be electrically connected to the camera module 21, so that the main control component 12 can control the camera module 21 to start. In other words, once the connecting structure 22 is installed on the shell part 11, the camera module 21 is automatically started and is in a state where it can be shot. Therefore, there is no need for the user to manually control the shooting state of the camera module 21, which is not only conducive to improving the user's convenience, but also does not need to set additional structures such as buttons for controlling the start of the camera module 21 on the functional module 2 or the headset body 1, which is conducive to simplifying the structural design of the headset 100.

[0068] Accordingly, when the functional module 2 is removed from the housing portion 11, the electrical connection between the camera module 21 and the main control component 12 is disconnected. At this time, the main control component 12 can no longer control the camera module 21, and the camera function of the camera module 21 is unavailable. At this time, the earphone body 1 can perform its original function of the earphone 100.

[0069] It can be seen that by adopting the method of detachably connecting the functional module 2 to the shell part 11, the functional module 2 and the earphone body 1 can be connected and used at any time, and removed and stopped at any time, which realizes the quick use of the functional module 2 and improves the convenience of using the functional module 2.

[0070] See also Figures 4 to 6In some embodiments, the housing portion 11 is provided with a first conducting portion 111, the first conducting portion 111 is electrically connected to the main control component 12, the connection structure 22 includes a housing 221, a second conducting portion 222 and a connecting member 223, the second conducting portion 222 is provided on the housing 221, the first conducting portion 111 and the second conducting portion 222 are detachably connected to realize a detachable electrical connection between the camera module 21 and the main control component 12, one end of the connecting member 223 is connected to the housing 221, the other end of the connecting member 223 extends in a direction away from the housing portion 11, and the mounting shell 23 is provided at the other end of the connecting member 223. Exemplarily, the functional module 2 includes a housing 221, a connecting member 223 and a mounting shell 23 in sequence along the direction from the human ear to the human mouth, that is, the camera module 21 is arranged away from the human ear, so as to facilitate the shooting of the camera module 21.

[0071] The functional module 2 includes a shell 221 and a mounting shell 23, and by arranging the shell 221 and the mounting shell 23 outside the second conductive part 222 and the camera module 21, the second conductive part 222 and the camera module 21 can be effectively protected to prevent external impurities (such as water vapor or dust) from entering the second conductive part 222 or the camera module 21 and affecting the operation.

[0072] Considering that the second conductive portion 222 and the first conductive portion 111 are detachably connected, they can also achieve electrical conduction or disconnection. Based on this, the second conductive portion 222 and the first conductive portion 111 can be connected by magnetic attraction, which is simpler and more reliable. Specifically, the first conductive portion 111 may include a first magnetic attraction portion 111a and a first contact portion 111b. The first magnetic attraction portion 111a is disposed in the housing portion 11, the first contact portion 111b is disposed in the housing portion 11, and the first contact portion 111b is at least partially exposed outside the housing portion 11. The housing 221 is provided with a mounting hole 221a, and the second conductive part 222 may include a second magnetic part 222a and a second contact part 222b, wherein the second magnetic part 222a is provided in the mounting hole 221a and covers the opening of the mounting hole 221a, and an avoidance hole 222c is provided on the second magnetic part 222a, and the second contact part 222b is provided in the mounting hole 221a and corresponds to the avoidance hole 222c. By providing the second contact part 222b in the mounting hole 221a and then covering the opening of the mounting hole 221a with the second magnetic part 222a, a waterproof design of the second contact part 222b can be achieved to prevent water vapor or dust from entering the second contact part 222b.

[0073] Among them, the first magnetic attraction part 111a is magnetically connected to the second magnetic attraction part 222a, and the second contact part 222b is used to contact the first contact part 111b to achieve electrical conduction. It can be understood that the connection between the first magnetic attraction part 111a and the second magnetic attraction part 222a is achieved by the attraction of magnets, and the electrical conduction between the first contact part 111b and the second contact part 222b can be achieved through a contact connection (for example, a contact connection). Exemplarily, the first contact part 111b and the second contact part 222b can both be elastic probes, so that when the first magnetic attraction part 111a is magnetically connected to the second magnetic attraction part 222a, the first contact part 111b and the second contact part 222b can be directly in contact to achieve conduction.

[0074] Optionally, the first magnetic attraction portion 111a is disposed around the periphery of the first contact portion 111b, the second magnetic attraction portion 222a is disposed around the periphery of the second contact portion 222b, and at least one of the first magnetic attraction portion 111a and the second magnetic attraction portion 222a is provided with a cutout portion 222d on its periphery, and the cutout portion 222d is used to limit the connection angle between the second magnetic attraction portion 222a and the first magnetic attraction portion 111a, so as to limit the angle of the camera module 21 relative to the housing portion 11. In this way, when the functional module 2 is magnetically connected to the housing portion 11, the connection position is determined, that is, the shooting angle of the camera module 21 is determined, so that the user does not need to manually adjust the shooting angle, and the use convenience is higher.

[0075] Optionally, the connector 223 is hollow, and the hollow part (not shown) of the connector 223 is connected to the mounting shell 23 and the outer shell 221. The functional module 2 also includes a connecting wire 223a, which is inserted into the hollow part of the connector 223 and connected to the camera module 21 and the second conductive part 222, respectively, to achieve electrical connection between the camera module 21 and the second conductive part 222. The hollow configuration of the connector 223 can facilitate the electrical connection of the connecting wire 223a between the camera module 21 and the second conductive part 222 on the one hand, and can also protect the connecting wire between the camera module 21 and the second conductive part 222 on the other hand, preventing it from being pulled or entering impurities such as water vapor and dust, which is conducive to ensuring the reliability and stability of the electrical connection between the camera module 21 and the second conductive part 222. In addition, the connector 223 can be a hard connector to ensure that the connector 223 does not deform and ensure that the shooting direction of the camera module 21 connected to the connector 223 remains constant.

[0076] Exemplarily, the connector 223 may include, but is not limited to, a gooseneck tube, a serpentine tube, or a flat cable, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0077] In some specific embodiments, the functional module 2 further includes a microphone structure 24, which is also disposed in the mounting shell 23. Since the mounting shell 23 is relatively close to the human mouth, arranging the microphone structure in the mounting shell helps the microphone structure 24 to receive sound. At the same time, the mounting shell 23 can also protect the microphone structure 24. The microphone structure 24 is electrically connected to the main control component 12 through the connecting structure 22. It can be understood that the specific electrical connection method can refer to the electrical connection method between the camera module 21 and the main control component 12, which will not be described in detail here.

[0078] By integrating an additional microphone structure 24 in the functional module 2, the functional module 2 can have an ear return function, that is, the user can receive sound through the microphone structure 24, and then control the speaker component 13 to play it through the main control component 12. This not only improves the sound reception effect of the earphone 100 (compared with the built-in microphone in the earphone 100 body, the microphone structure 24 on the functional module 2 is closer to the human mouth, which is conducive to sound reception), but also broadens the use scenarios of the functional module 2.

[0079] In some embodiments, since the microphone structure 24 is electrically connected to the main control component 12, when the connecting structure 22 is connected to the shell portion 11, the main control component 12 is electrically connected to the microphone structure 24 and controls the microphone structure 24 to start. Similarly, the microphone structure 24 can be used as soon as it is connected and can be stopped as soon as it is removed, thereby improving the convenience of using the functional module 2.

[0080] It can be seen that when the connecting structure 22 is connected to the shell part 11, at this time, the main control component 12 can control the camera module 21 and the microphone structure 24 to start, so that the camera module 21 can shoot the object to be identified at any time, and the microphone structure 24 can receive sound at any time. The whole process does not require manual control by the user, and the degree of automation is higher, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0081] Optionally, the sound receiving port of the microphone structure 24 and the shooting direction of the camera module 21 are located on different surfaces of the mounting shell 23, so that the shooting of the camera module 21 and the sound receiving of the microphone structure 24 do not interfere with each other. Exemplarily, the mounting shell 23 can be a cylindrical shell, and the mounting shell 23 includes an end face 231 that is roughly parallel to the human face and an outer peripheral surface 232 that surrounds and connects to the end face. The camera module 21 can be arranged toward the end face 231, so that it can be photographed in the direction toward which the end face 231 faces, and the microphone structure 24 can be arranged corresponding to the outer peripheral surface 232, and specifically, the sound receiving port corresponding to the microphone structure 24 can be arranged on the outer peripheral surface 232, so that the sound receiving of the microphone structure 24 can be achieved. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the sound receiving port of the microphone structure 24 and the shooting direction of the camera module 21 can also be arranged on the same surface of the mounting shell 23, which can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0082] In some embodiments, the earphone body 1 may also be provided with a communication module (not shown), which can be connected to the main control component 12. The communication module can be used to communicate with an external device (such as a mobile phone), so that the earphone 100 can be remotely controlled by the external device, further improving the control convenience of the earphone 100.

[0083] Exemplarily, the communication module may include but is not limited to a Bluetooth module, an infrared module, a WIFI module, etc.

[0084] Optionally, the headset body 1 may also include a voice implantation module (not shown), which may be integrated into the main control component 12. The voice implantation module may be implanted according to the voices that the child user likes, for example, real voices, such as the voices of father and mother, or cartoon voices that the child user likes, such as Ultraman, Transformers, etc., so that when the main control component 12 controls the speaker component 13 to play, the above-mentioned voice implanted by the voice implantation module may be played. For example, the content corresponding to the image information captured by the camera module 21 may be played by implanting the father's voice.

[0085] By adopting the voice implantation module, the function of the earphone 100 can be further increased, and the interest of its playback can be improved. At the same time, a three-dimensional sound atmosphere can be provided, so that child users can feel as if they are in the story scene, further improving the user experience.

[0086] Furthermore, when the camera module 21 is used to identify the content of the picture book 300, the relevant content can also be identified by the specific text, sentence or paragraph specified by the user's finger, so that the speaker component 13 can play the specified specific content to achieve accurate identification. For example, a child user can specify the first paragraph of the first page of the picture book 300, so that the camera module 21 can shoot the first page of the picture book 300, and then generate image information and send it to the main control component 12. At this time, the main control component 12 can identify and judge the image information to determine whether the image information includes the user's finger 200. If so, the speaker component 13 is controlled to play the content in the image information corresponding to the user's finger 200 pointing to, that is, at this time, the speaker component 13 can play the first paragraph of the content.

[0087] Optionally, since the functional module 2 also includes a microphone structure 24, the earphone 100 of the present application can also specify the specific paragraph to be played through voice input. For example, when a child user can input a reading instruction to the microphone structure 24 by voice, the reading instruction can be, for example, "play the content of the first paragraph of the first page", or it can also be a certain text on the first page, such as "please play the word An in the first paragraph", so that the main control component 12 can control the camera module 21 to shoot according to the reading instruction to obtain image information, and then control the speaker component 13 to play the content in the image information corresponding to the reading instruction.

[0088] It can be seen that the earphone 100 of the present application adopts voice recognition and finger recognition, which is more comprehensive and more accurate, is conducive to the use of child users, and further improves the user's convenience and experience.

[0089] Please also read Figure 6 and Figure 7 On the other hand, the present application further discloses a control method of an earphone 100, wherein the earphone adopts the earphone 100 as described in the first aspect above, and the control method comprises:

[0090] 101. When the camera module is electrically connected to the main control component, the camera module shoots toward the object to be identified and generates image information and sends it to the main control component.

[0091] Optionally, the object to be identified may include, but is not limited to, picture books 300, literary works and other reading materials, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

[0092] In step 101, the camera module 21 is electrically connected to the main control component 12, which can be achieved by the conduction of the first conduction part 111 and the second conduction part 222. When the first conduction part 111 and the second conduction part 222 are turned on, that is, the functional module 2 is connected to the housing part 11, so that the camera module 21 can be electrically connected to the main control component 12, and the main control component 12 can control the camera module 21 to start. In other words, as long as the functional module 2 is connected to the housing part 11, the camera module 21 can be turned on and is in a state where it can be photographed. In this way, there is no need for the user to manually turn on the shooting function of the camera module 21.

[0093] 102. The main control component receives the image information and controls the speaker component to play content corresponding to the image information.

[0094] Optionally, taking the object to be identified as a picture book 300 as an example, the content corresponding to the image information may include paragraphs, texts, patterns, etc. involved in the picture book 300.

[0095] The main control component 12 controls the speaker component 13 to play the content corresponding to the image information, which may include playing the paragraph content or text content of the picture book 300 .

[0096] Optionally, the above step 102 may include:

[0097] 1021. The main control component processes the image information to determine whether the image information includes a user's finger.

[0098] 1022. If yes, the main control component controls the speaker component to play the content in the image information corresponding to the content pointed by the user's finger.

[0099] In an optional example, when the camera module 21 is used to identify the content of the picture book 300, the relevant content can also be identified through the specific paragraph specified by the user's finger 200, so that the speaker component 13 can play the specified specific paragraph to achieve accurate identification. That is, when the main control component 12 determines that the image information includes the user's finger 200, the position of the user's finger 200 in the image information can be identified. For example, the user's finger 200 points to the first paragraph of the content on the first page of the picture book 300, so that the main control component 12 controls the speaker component 13 to play the paragraph pointed by the user's finger 200, such as the content of the first paragraph. It can be seen that when the main control component 12 recognizes that the image information includes the user's finger 200, the headset 100 can be in the point-to-read mode at this time, that is, the user can specify the specific content to be played through the user's finger 200.

[0100] In another optional example, when the main control component 12 determines that the image information does not include the user's finger 200, the main control component 12 can control the speaker component 13 to completely play the content corresponding to the image information, such as the entire content of the captured picture book 300, until the playback is completed or a signal to stop playback is received. It can be seen that when the main control component 12 does not recognize that the image information includes the user's finger 200, the headset 100 can be in automatic reading mode.

[0101] Optionally, as can be seen from the first aspect above, the functional module 2 further includes a microphone structure 24. In this case, the control method of the headset 100 further includes:

[0102] 103. The microphone structure receives the reading instruction and sends it to the main control component.

[0103] 104. The main control component controls the speaker component to play the content corresponding to the reading instruction in the image information according to the reading instruction.

[0104] The reading instruction includes specific words, sentences or entire text paragraphs in the corresponding image information.

[0105] That is, the headset 100 of the present application can also realize the designated playback of specific content through voice input. For example, when a child user can input a reading instruction through voice to the microphone structure 24, the reading instruction can be, for example, "play the content of the first paragraph of the first page", or it can also be a certain text on the first page, such as "please play the word An in the first paragraph", so that the main control component 12 can control the camera module 21 to shoot to obtain image information according to the reading instruction, and then control the speaker component 13 to play the content in the image information corresponding to the reading instruction.

[0106] It can be seen that the control method of the earphone 100 of the present application can control the speaker component 13 to play the corresponding content through voice recognition and finger recognition. The recognition method is more comprehensive, which is convenient for children to use, and further improves the user's convenience and experience.

[0107] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
