[0044] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0045] Since the current visual function modules are integrated in the OWS headset and exist as a whole, when the visual function modules need to be upgraded, the entire OWS headset needs to be replaced together, which increases the user's usage cost and maintenance difficulty.

[0046] The present application provides a solution, in which the video module is connected to the interface on the shell of the earphone unit through a detachable communication interface. When the earphone unit receives an access command from the video module to be paired, the control program of the earphone unit is updated through the device information of the video module, and at the same time, the pairing connection with the video module to be paired is performed based on the updated control program, thereby realizing detachable access of the video module and improving the updating and maintenance efficiency of the video module.

[0047] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0048] In this embodiment, the earphone is a wireless earphone, preferably an OWS earphone, which includes two independent earphone units, that is, independent audio output devices corresponding to two ears. Specifically, the earphone unit includes an earphone shell and a sounding body arranged in the earphone shell, please refer to Figure 1 The earphone unit includes a control module arranged in the earphone shell, a first interface 1 arranged on the earphone shell, a video module and a second interface 2, wherein the first interface 1 and the second interface 2 constitute a detachably connected communication interface. Based on this, when the first interface 1 and the second interface 2 are in a connected state, the video module can be communicatively connected with the control module of the earphone unit through the communication interface. The detachable connection method of the first interface 1 and the second interface 2 may include a snap, a magnetic or a threaded connection, etc., and the video module includes a camera device, which may be a camera such as an optical camera, a digital camera, an infrared camera or a depth camera.

[0049] After the video module is connected to the first interface 1 based on the second interface 2, if the video module is not connected for the first time, it is a paired device. At this time, after the earphone unit detects the connection of the video module based on the hardware interface, it first obtains the device information of the video module, then loads the driver corresponding to the video module according to the device information, and establishes a communication link with the video module, and then can respond to the image acquisition instruction and send a shooting instruction to the video module through the communication link. If the video module is connected for the first time, based on the device information of the video module, if there is an existing driver, the driver is loaded, otherwise the latest driver is downloaded and installed.

[0050] Exemplarily, after the operator connects the paired camera after repair to the OWS headset through the first interface 1, the OWS headset responds to the access instruction, loads the driver module corresponding to the camera, and then establishes a communication link with the video module based on the driver module. At this time, the OWS headset can establish a data communication connection through the communication interface composed of the first interface 1 and the second interface 2. The communication connection process includes but is not limited to controlling the camera to shoot, sending shooting instructions to the video module, receiving and forwarding images or videos captured by the camera, etc. Based on this, by setting a detachable video module for the OWS headset, when the video module needs to be repaired, the video module can be disassembled based on the detachable components and repaired separately. When the AI ​​module or shooting module of the video module needs to be upgraded, it is only necessary to purchase the video module separately, thereby improving the update and maintenance efficiency of the video module.

[0051] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 2The connecting core is an intervening medium between the video module and the first interface through the second interface. Specifically, in addition to the camera device, the video module also includes a storage module and an image processing unit (ISP). The storage module is used to store the images captured by the video module. In addition, it can also store the video information captured by the video module. The image processing unit is mainly responsible for processing and optimizing the image signal to improve the image quality.

[0052] Furthermore, the video module also includes an anti-reverse connection circuit for detecting whether the positive and negative poles of the second interface are in a normal connection state when the second interface is connected to the first interface. By setting the anti-reverse connection circuit, it is prevented that the operator misjudges that the video module is abnormal due to connecting the video module in reverse.

[0053] Based on the earphone unit described in the above structural embodiment, the present application embodiment provides a method for controlling the earphone unit, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a first embodiment of a method for controlling an earphone unit of the present application.

[0054] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be a headset unit, or a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone and other headset unit control devices. The following takes the headset unit control device as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0055] In this embodiment, the control method of the earphone unit includes steps S10 to S30:

[0056] Step S10: If access information of the video module is detected based on the hardware interface, device information of the video module is obtained.

[0057] It should be noted that device information includes but is not limited to the device descriptor of the camera device in the video module, including the vendor ID (Vendor ID), product ID (Product ID), etc.; the device name and model, which is usually provided by the manufacturer to distinguish different models or versions of cameras; version information of the internal firmware of the camera device; supported interface standards: such as USB 2.0, USB 3.0, HDMI, etc.; resolution and frame rate, sensor information: such as sensor type (CCD or CMOS), number of pixels, sensor size, etc.; lens parameters such as focal length, aperture size, zoom capability, etc.; operating system compatibility.

[0058] In this embodiment, after the video module is connected to the connection slot of the first interface through the connection core of the second interface, the hardware interface of the earphone unit or the mobile phone, such as USB, Bluetooth or WiFi, after detecting the connection of the video module, reads the device information of the currently connected video module through the communication interface between the first interface and the second interface, so as to select a driver that matches the current video module based on the device information.

[0059] Step S20: loading a driver corresponding to the video module according to the device information, and establishing a communication link with the video module.

[0060] It is understood that once the device recognizes the peripheral, it will look for a driver in the system that is compatible with the peripheral. If the device already has the corresponding driver installed, it will load the driver and communicate with the peripheral. If the device does not have the corresponding driver installed, it may prompt the user to download and install the driver, or automatically download and install it from the device's driver library.

[0061] Therefore, in this embodiment, after obtaining the device information, the control device of the earphone unit will analyze and process the obtained information, for example, based on the resolution, frame rate, sensor type and other information in the device information, evaluate the performance of the camera device in the video module, and confirm whether the interface standards and functions supported by the camera device are compatible with the control device of the earphone unit. Then, based on the analysis results of the device information, the driver corresponding to the video module is found from the currently installed drivers and loaded. After loading the driver corresponding to the video module, the control device of the earphone unit establishes a communication link with the video module through the selected driver, and performs corresponding parameter settings such as setting resolution, frame rate, exposure parameters, etc., to ensure that the video module works in the best state. Among them, the driver is the bridge for the control device of the earphone unit to communicate with the video module. It is responsible for converting the general commands of the control device of the earphone unit into specific commands that the camera device in the video module can understand.

[0062] Optionally, if the driver corresponding to the video module does not exist in the currently installed drivers, it is necessary to download a new driver from the driver library, or install and download the latest driver based on the control device of the headphone unit.

[0063] Optionally, after the video module establishes a communication link, the control device of the earphone unit can perform a series of tests to verify whether the function of the video module is normal. In addition, if the video module is provided with an anti-reverse connection circuit, when the video module is connected to the earphone unit, if the positive and negative circuits connected are opposite, it can feedback to the control device of the earphone unit that it is currently in a reverse connection state, and output corresponding reverse connection prompt information, such as when generating voice information, outputting reversed voice information through the earphone unit, or outputting corresponding prompt information through the display screen of the control device of the earphone unit. The specific prompt method is not limited here.

[0064] Step S30, in response to the image acquisition instruction, sending a shooting instruction to the video module through the communication link.

[0065] It should be noted that the shooting instruction includes the shooting method, such as whether to shoot a video or an image at a certain moment. In addition, if the shooting ranges of the two earphone units of the headset overlap, the shooting instruction will also include the processing method of the overlapping area, such as splicing the non-overlapping part shot by the left earphone unit with the image shot by the right earphone, improving the image accuracy of the fused part, or removing the non-overlapping part.

[0066] In this embodiment, as an optional implementation, the user can input a corresponding image acquisition instruction through the control device of the earphone unit, so that the control device of the earphone unit responds to the acquisition instruction and sends a shooting instruction to the video module based on the communication link. For example, the operator clicks on the instruction to control the earphone unit to shoot in the application of the mobile phone. At this time, after the mobile phone responds to the instruction, it sends the shooting instruction to the video module, so that the video module shoots based on the shooting instruction.

[0067] Optionally, the operator can also input corresponding voice information into the microphone, such as "take an image of the current location". At this time, the control device of the earphone unit performs semantic recognition processing based on the user voice collected by the microphone, and triggers the image acquisition instruction based on the semantic recognition result of the user voice.

[0068] Optionally, in addition to collecting relevant voice information, the image acquisition instruction can also be triggered by recognizing gestures. That is, after the video module establishes a communication link with the control device of the earphone unit, the camera device of the video module is in operation, and the operator makes gestures within the shooting field of view of the camera device. At this time, the camera device transmits the information of the gesture back to the control device, and the control device compares the returned gesture with the pre-stored gesture, and triggers the image acquisition instruction when the comparison shows that the current gesture is a gesture for image acquisition.

[0069] In this embodiment, after the earphone unit completes the connection with the detachable video module, based on the voice information collected by the earphone unit, the gesture information transmitted back by the camera device of the video module and / or the operation information of the operator, the image acquisition instruction is triggered and the shooting instruction is sent to the video module. Based on this, the control of the video module is realized after the detachable video module is connected.

[0070] The present embodiment provides a control method for an earphone unit. After detecting access information of a video module based on a hardware interface, a corresponding driver is loaded through device information of the video module, and a communication link is established with the video module. Then, in response to an image acquisition instruction, a shooting instruction is sent to the video module through the communication link. Based on this, access to a detachable video module and shooting control of the video module are realized. Therefore, when the video module needs to be updated or repaired, it only needs to be disassembled without processing the earphone as a whole, thereby improving the updating and maintenance efficiency of the video module.

[0071] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the first embodiment can refer to the above introduction, and will not be repeated in the following. Figure 4 After step S30, the control method of the earphone unit further includes steps S40 to S50:

[0072] Step S40, obtaining first image information collected by the video module corresponding to the left earphone unit, and second image information collected by the video module corresponding to the right earphone unit.

[0073] In this embodiment, since the video modules are installed on two wireless headsets respectively, the fields of view of the two video modules will overlap to a certain extent. Therefore, the images captured by the two headsets can be fused to obtain an image that meets the actual needs of the operator.

[0074] Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the first image information collected by the camera module of the left earphone unit through the video module, and to obtain the second image information collected by the right earphone unit, so as to perform fusion processing on the obtained first image information and second image information based on the fusion algorithm of the control device of the earphone unit.

[0075] Step S50, obtaining target image information after fusing the first image information and the second image information.

[0076] In this embodiment, when the first image information and the second image information are fused, the fusion processing method includes simple image merging, image accuracy optimization of the overlapping area, and obtaining image information of the overlapping area, etc. For example, the non-overlapping part of one image is spliced ​​with the other complete image to obtain the target image, the overlapping area of ​​the two images is optimized to obtain an overlapping area with higher definition to improve the current shooting effect, and the non-overlapping parts of the two images are screened out to obtain an image of the overlapping part with higher definition and more details.

[0077] Therefore, before fusing the captured first image information and the second image information, it is necessary to determine the corresponding image fusion rule, which can be selected by the operator or set by default, wherein the default image fusion rule is to simply splice and de-duplicate the first image information and the second image information. Before step S50, it is necessary to determine the image fusion rule corresponding to the image fusion request based on the image acquisition instruction, wherein the image fusion rule includes image splicing processing, improving the image accuracy of the overlapping area and removing the non-overlapping area, and then fusing the first image information and the second image information based on the image fusion rule.

[0078] Specifically, the image acquisition instruction includes rules for processing overlapping areas, including splicing the non-overlapping part photographed by the left earphone unit with the image photographed by the right earphone, improving the image accuracy of the fused part, or removing the non-overlapping part. Therefore, the image fusion rule can be determined based on the processing rules of the overlapping area in the image acquisition instruction. For example, if the image acquisition instruction includes a rule for splicing the non-overlapping part photographed by the left earphone unit with the image photographed by the right earphone, the image fusion rule is determined to be image splicing; if the image acquisition instruction includes a rule for improving the image accuracy of the fused part, the image fusion rule is to improve the image accuracy of the overlapping area; if the image acquisition instruction includes a rule for removing the non-overlapping part, the image fusion rule is to remove the non-overlapping area. Finally, the first image information and the second image information are fused based on the determined image fusion rule.

[0079] The present embodiment provides a control method for an earphone unit. After acquiring image information captured by the left and right earphone units, a fusion rule for two images with overlapping areas is determined based on an image capture instruction, and the first image information and the second image information are fused based on the fusion rule to improve the shooting field of the captured image information, improve the shooting accuracy of the overlapping area, and improve the effect of shooting the overlapping area. Based on this, the shooting effect after the detachable visual module is connected to the earphone unit is improved.

[0080] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the third embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the first embodiment can refer to the above introduction, and will not be repeated later. Figure 5 After step S30, the control method of the earphone unit further includes steps S60 to S70:

[0081] Step S60: If the earphone unit is in the tour guide mode, determine the voice tour guide information based on the target image captured by the video module.

[0082] Step S70: playing the voice guide information based on the earphone unit.

[0083] In addition to capturing images through the video module, the earphone unit can also provide more functions in combination with the video module and the current scene. That is, in this embodiment, the earphone unit includes a tour guide mode, in which real-time tour guide processing can be performed through the target image captured by the video module. For example, when the operator is traveling in a scenic spot, he turns on the tour guide mode of the earphone unit, and then the AI ​​function of the control device of the earphone unit parses the image information captured in real time by the video module, and then generates voice guide information of the current location based on the image information, and finally plays the voice guide information through the earphone unit, wherein the voice guide information includes an introduction to the location shown in the current image, navigation prompts of the current location, and other content.

[0084] In addition, the control device of the earphone unit can also adjust the current playback status of the earphone unit through the gesture information collected by the video module, such as adjusting the playback volume, pausing / starting playback, switching tracks, etc., and can also use AI voice gestures to confirm, cancel and switch.

[0085] Optionally, after the image is captured, the transmission method of the image can also be determined. For example, when the operator needs to extract information from the captured image, such as extracting text, the earphone unit can blur the content other than the text in the image to reduce the transmission quality, and at the same time realize real-time transmission of the image through Bluetooth transmission. If the original image needs to be transmitted, the high-definition image can be transmitted to the control device of the earphone unit through WiFi transmission. It can be understood that in this process, the earphone unit can determine the transmission method that needs to be transmitted based on the category of the image to be transmitted, such as using WiFi transmission for high-definition image transmission and using Bluetooth transmission for compressed images.

[0086] The present embodiment provides a method for controlling an earphone unit, which recognizes captured images in different scenarios and processes the images based on an artificial intelligence module, thereby realizing AI voice interaction of wireless headphones with a detachable video module, and at the same time recognizes the category of the transmitted image, and selects an image transmission method that meets the requirements based on the category, thereby improving the efficiency of image transmission.

[0087] The present application provides an earphone unit, which includes: at least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions are executed by the at least one processor so that the at least one processor can execute the control method of the earphone unit in the above-mentioned first embodiment.
